Decent Bambalouni — nothing more, nothing less

Bambalouni at this place was fine. The fiery and aromatic flavour was there but not distinguished. harissa chilli paste was present in the right quantities but without the care that makes the difference. You can taste when something is being made to a formula.

Tunisia is the world's third largest olive oil producer and olive oil underpins the cuisine. The a Tunis medina restaurant setting was generic rather than immersive. boukha fig spirit was offered but not explained. If you're in the area and want Bambalouni it'll do. If you're going out of your way, look elsewhere.
