Habbouz Tunisian Cuisine might be the first and possibly the only Tunisian Restaurant in Metro Phoenix AZ. This is a small casual restaurant with a very limited menu. They offer a few chicken dishes and a few lamb dishes. Other than that they have some vegetarian items on the menu and tuna.

I ordered the Chicken Merguez. It was a generous portion of seasoned moist chicken breast and came with fresh made to order pita bread and this side of vegetables garnished with egg and tuna that were amazing. When I first tasted the the vegetables made of hot green peppers, tomatoes, garlic and onions, I thought they were too spicy to forking eat but they were seasoned in a delicious way that was interesting to me. I tasted them again and like magic they weren’t too spicy anymore and were just delicious! I tore off some fresh chewy pita bread put some tasty juicy chicken in it and topped it with the vegetable garnish and it was really something special.

My husband had the house made Ajja Merguez (House Made Lamb Sausage) The sausage was nestled in harissa and was embellished with two eggs.

The owner brought out a Chicken Tajine for us to sample.

The Chicken Tajine  differed very much from a Moroccan Tajine as the Tunisian Style Tajine is basically a casserole of chicken, eggs, cream cheese, parsley and was a very homey kind of dish. It was like something your mother might prepare if she was Tunisian.

The owners were very friendly and told us to come back. The food was so delicious I have to forking return.
