Ristorante arabo Carthage — Restaurant in Trapani

Below expectations - unfortunately. The mix appetizer plate - Mano di Fatima - Is an interesting concept, but you are better off taking 3 or 4 different appetizers by choice. U won't economise much with it and u won't get things like potatoes and mayonnaise portion... some things are good in the mix but I really think it's better to even spend 5 euro more and take what u want hoping it's a good choice! The falafel were bitter and on top of that burnt. Pity! The cous cous with veggies is not worth it. I wouldn't take it to start with, but if you re a vegetarian like my girlfriend, you might. It's quite dry and not very tasty. The pasta with fish was ok, but unfortunately I have the string feeling it was microwaved... Sword fish was quite hard but overall the taste was ok. House wine also not particularly good. The guys working here are lovely and some of the food is objectively good but I was really not impressed, and considering the options you have in Trapani, I wouldn't recommend it and certainly won't come back. The atmosphere is nice although you are literally in the middle of the street. Price wise it's quite average, and I would have appreciated them offering a limoncello or coffee considering we left most of the cous cous, a falafel and the potatoes from the appetiser... You have options so...

This restaurant was very quiet on a Monday evening. There were tables outside but we chose to eat indoors. We enjoyed a litre of house red. We had baba ganoush and a salad of potatoes, eggs and tomato sauce to start. The latter was delicious but the baba ganoush was very smooth and lacked the smokey aubergine taste we like, it was more yoghurt than aubergine. The celcek we wanted was not available so we went for meatballs and fatoush. The meatballs were tasty but overcooked. The fatoush was poor. Service was good throughout and the final bill with water and good coffee was only 39 euros. Would definitely return to try other dishes as a pleasant change to...

I was so looking forward to this place beforehand but have to give the restaurant a poor review. We had several issues : the starter was an assortment of things and none of which were explained or identified by the server and they tasted average, we really wanted lamb tagine and they had run out of lamb (this was at 8pm !), and the beef tagine option was quite bland and did not have taste of the usual ras el hanout flavouring and no fresh hebs. I admit the cous cous portions are massive (and why not as cous cous is very cheap), we got the lamb cous cous and again the sauce with it was quite bland and no fresh herbs. We left...
