SARAY Turkish Cuisine — Restaurant in Tunis

I am really glad we came from the Radisson Blu to eat here. Very easy to get here by taxi less than 10Dr. The owner was very very welcoming and happy to have us, even though we didn’t speak French. He clearly wanted to make sure we had a great meal and that we were happy. When we ran out of bread, he brought more. When we drank our complimentary tea, he brought more! It was so nice to feel invited and welcomed even without speaking the language.

The food was really good. I don’t know the names of the dishes we ordered but it was all really excellent. The dessert was really good also. We had a cheese dessert (Kunefe) that we really liked and a rice pudding that was also wonderful.

Try the fizzy lemonade (the green can in the picture). We all really liked that.

The location is in a very safe and quiet neighborhood. It was nice to go somewhere local and excellent. I really recommend it if you like Turkish food and genuine hospitality.

Well, I must say as a Turkish food enthusiast, this experience was terrible! My friend heard of this new restaurant and we checked the online reviews and they seemed really good, but when we got there we were shocked at the quality of the food. We ordered a kebab plate, the Borghol was very hard, we weren't sure whether it was undercooked or too old, we couldn't eat it so we asked to replace it with rice, but the rice itself was inedible... The accompanying salad was also too old I couldn't even touch it by just looking at it... The kofta was a bit better but not that great, the sauce flavors didn't match Turkish flavors... We wanted to get some dessert but we weren't sure anymore, and to be honest the display in the fridge didn't look fresh either. One thing I know, I'm not going back...

This was my favorite place to go to. I always take my friends and family to this place and I always recommend it. Today was a very bad experience and I was truly embarrassed in front of my coworkers. We had to wait over an hour for the food to come. We repeatedly requested a clarification but the staff were neglecting. Everyone else came after got their food on the table whereas us had to wait and call for them multiple times. It was a terrible lunch break and a disappointment. This is just because there was a food blogger there and they just neglected their loyal customers. Too bad I liked the place but we said we would...
