Last month, I had some amazing Tunisian food at Adams Cafe in the Shepherd's Bush area. It was far to go, but well worth the hour and 20 minute trek! This cafe specializes in Tunisian and Moroccan dishes. The decor is super-authentic and the food is absolutely scrumptious.
As a starter, I tried a tuna brik. Brik is typically a fried pastry that is stuffed with egg. The most amazing thing about brik is the crunchy outer layer of pastry combined with the soft and warm center which contains a soft egg yolk.

This was by far the most impressive item I ate and is at the top of my culinary recipes to learn list! Then I progressed onto a mixed grill couscous, while my dining companion ate a spicy stew. My couscous was very tasty, but the portion was so large, there was no way I could eat it all. The couscous comes with a bowl of sauce and meatballs, which you ladle over the grain until it drinks in all the liquid. My companion's stew was very tasty, especially if you love spicy food!

Since the main courses were so good, I thought I should definitely try some dessert. I had an almond tart. It was pretty good, but it didn't make the impression that the other courses did. One specific critique was that the pastry didn't seem to be fresh. Plus, almond tarts aren't really a North African specialty. Maybe I should have ordered baklava!

Prices are also reasonable. There is a three-course menu for £16.95. So go, definitely do go. Bear in mind this restaurant only opens for dinner from Monday to Saturday.
