I eat here at least once a fortnight. I always takeaway although there is a sit down option. I love the chicken kebab. Always feel full, the food is delicious and it is made quick. Service is friendly and efficient. I recommend!

We loved the great food here, very authentic Tunisian style although they can accommodate local taste according to the chef. The owners were wonderful talking about the history and music of Tunisia and made us feel so welcome. I will definitely visit this place again on my travels back to Aoteoroa!

There was no frills, but the food was quickly prepared and full of flavour. Both of us had pasta and were more than satisfied. Good sign was a lot of locals eating there.

Our second visit this year. Try the Sahara Pizza! All the way to NZ from Australia for a pizza? Oh yeah! NZ$15.00 and worth every slice! We called in before we flew out of Rotorua Airport. Only 10 mins away.

I always stop here for pizza and I live 100km away. Best pizza I've had in my life. Highly recommend the Sahara pizza. Great friendly service. Excellent international flavors. Fantastic!

Wow! We were bowled over. It was a surprise to find such tasty Tunisian food in Rotorua. My fettuccine of chicken in a Tunisian sauce was just lovely. My wife had a Tunisian lamb on rice which was just delicious. To top it off, there was a clearly displayed halal certificate. Highly recommended.
