What People Are Saying About Moun-Of-Tunis Restaurant

Featured Review

In Short – Intimate and friendly, the exotic decor at Moun of Tunis feels homey rather than theatrical. Dining rooms glow with subdued lantern light, while patrons lounge on pillows and watch the glittering belly dancer occasionally spin by. Dishes include fried brik (Tunisian pastry stuffed with spiced vegetables and poached egg), lemon chicken and chicken pie with powdered sugar. Vegetarian meals are also available. For desserts, there are fresh pastries, baklava and mint tea offered.

  1. We started with hummus and pita, followed with a tatsy lentil soup, cold salad with dipping bread and shrimp skewers, followed by the main course (we chose the steamed salmon in a cumin sauce) and finally ending with a delicious almond cake and mint tea.

  1. Some downsides are that some servers aren't very good, you may end up sitting close to annoying diners, and the vegetarian meal is expensive considering that meals containing several meats are only $4 more.

30 years of great food and still going strong

by houstondinerguy at Citysearch

I have been a patron of the Moun of Tunis for 30 years. I am a chef, so when I go out to eat my expectations are very high. The Moun of Tunis consistently dazzles me with their amazing food and the panache with which they present the fare. I especially love the bastilla and the lemon chicken, both dishes which I have tried to replicate over the years with mixed results. Expect to spend a few hours dining-you don't go to the Moun of Tunis to eat, you dine, lose your tie, loosen your belt, and allow yourself to be seduced by the magic of this wonderful restaurant. I also highly recommend this site for a romantic date. The atmosphere is very conducive to cuddling and sharing food.

  • Pros: charming, great food, great service
  • Cons: not good for kids, republicans, or people in a hurry

Delicious food!!!

by shahnananaz at Citysearch

My husband took me to this place this past weekend and we had a wonderful time! The food was delicious! We started with hummus and pita, followed with a tatsy lentil soup, cold salad with dipping bread and shrimp skewers, followed by the main course (we chose the steamed salmon in a cumin sauce) and finally ending with a delicious almond cake and mint tea. The belly dancing was brief but enjoyable. I particularly enjoyed the comfortable couches we were sitting on, as well as eating with my hands. For all the food we ate, the price was just right and we definitely plan on going again!

  • Pros: FOOD!!!, service, comfort, ambience, friendly staff, belly dancing
  • Cons: short lived belly dancing

Great place for group gatherings! Tons of food, relaxed tucked-away place on Sunset.

by willcpr at Citysearch

Moun of Tunis was really great! Go here with groups, big groups! The food menu is fixed, but it's absolutely delicious. I would recommend the chicken over the lamb. The lamb was cooked in a wet style, which is difficult to eat with just your hands. Get dirty, bring bills for the belly dancer, and have fun.

  • Pros: Group accomodations, Parking in the rear, Food
  • Cons: Price
