Ok so yesterday i gave this place a shot, and since i come from the same country as this restaurant does, i can have a valid opinion on it, so the food is very far from Tunisian authentic food, the Ojja Merguez was too dry and had no broth or sauce that you can't eat it with bread like it's supposed to be eaten, it's kind of americanized that you gotta use forks to eat it, which is not the authentic way. I had Salade Mechouia and it was okay.. it lacked olive oil though, the Brik with Tuna was nice i give them credit for that, i have a few comments on the bread supply, so they would give you a basket of bread that's not enough for the food, i had to ask for bread every 5 minutes and it would take time to get it, i gotta mention the long waiting time to get your food too, i was also moved from my spot 2 times to leave it for other people which was very uncomfortable, I expected a warmer welcome and i came here mainly to chat and have a good time with my countrymen, unfortunately I didn'

Wonderful. You treat it like you're eating at your aunts and uncles house. Only your aunt and uncle can't cook this good. And they don't have this nice of a wine selection. The bread the escargot and the lamb magnificent! Dine in: Yes Takeout: Yes Delivery: Yes … More

An under rated and often overlooked gem of a restaurant. Jamilla's is a family owned business. Jamila is the chef, and her husband runs the front. The food is excellent. This time, we had the mussels, eggplant salad, couscous with fish, and fish with chutney. All were excellent. Atmosphere is nothing special. But the host/server is attentive and personable. We dine out 5 times per week, mostly Uptown. Frankly, we don't come often enough to Jamila's.
