Hidden Gems Heaven
Open since the late 1970s, Moun Of Tunis turns dinner into a North African feast with multi-course Tunisian and Moroccan prix fixe menus, hand-washing rituals, and occasional belly dancing. Cushioned banquettes, low tables, and long-running ownership make it a destination for celebratory group meals rather than quick bites.
Must-Try Dishes:
Moun of Tunis Feast prix fixe, Brik (Tunisian fried pastry), Chicken B’stilla

Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes if you want an immersive, conversation-sparking experience with ceremony and ambiance. Not ideal if you prefer a shorter, low-commitment meal, since the multi-course format takes time.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Possible on weekdays and early seatings, but performance nights and weekends often fill up—reservations strongly recommended for groups.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes for older kids who can enjoy longer meals and the performance; less ideal for toddlers due to the multi-course format and low tables.
Best For
Better for: Immersive ceremonial dining, large-group celebrations, and unique North African feasts you can’t easily find elsewhere in Hollywood.
Skip if: You want a quick dinner, à la carte ordering, or a quieter, minimalist setting without performances.
