Join Dali Chehimi for a meal straight out of the lively souks of Tunis, with all the fragrance, spice and flavour of North Africa.

Doigt de Fatima is a crispy Tunisian “spring roll” of light brik pastry wrapped around a delicious spiced chicken and potato filling flecked with onions, capers & parsley, and homemade harissa for dipping

Lablabi is the ultimate Tunisian comfort food, served up piping hot in home kitchens and countless stalls throughout the countryside. This hearty, warming dish consists of chick peas in a garlic and cumin-infused broth, served over small pieces of crusty bread and garnished with a decadent runny egg. Dali’s deluxe version features capers and tuna (or optionally, cracked green olives for vegetarians), along with his homemade harissa (tunisian hot sauce), olive oil, parsley and a lemon wedge.
