First time trying Tunisian mediterranean food. Walking into the restaurant was like being transported to Morroco / Tunisia mediterranean ambiance and decor. Food was a culinary adventure and a delight!! I savored each bite! My favorites were the beets and beef cheek (must order!). Food was 4.5 stars w/ 5 star potential; a couple of dishes were a tad salty for my taste but incredibly flavorful. Our server was super helpful and fun to talk to.

We went here for my wife's birthday dinner and really only liked the falafel sliders. The lamb meatballs were underwhelming and a bit too salty. The branzino was just okay, and both were served over a bed of couscous. The fries were delicious and crispy, but overly salted as well. On top of that, the menu of drinks written in chalk on their wall is just for show. Their actual drink menu is so much smaller and they have $11 beers on draft. I got a Pilsner, which was great, but $11 for a beer is pretty hefty. I'm used to paying $8 or $9, but $11 for a pint is steep. They played pitchy, piercing, high treble music which fit the theme of the restaurant, but we asked them to turn it down because it was giving us headaches. Thankfully they did so we could hear our own conversation and think clearly! There's a huge parking lot so no trouble parking at least.

Chicken Liver Pate

Yum! The food was amazing, and well-priced. The braised beef cheek had a great texture while the mussels were cooked in a delicious, mildly spicy soup. The desserts were just the right sweetness. The staff were nice and our server was very friendly. The interior has wonderful lighting and decorations are pretty and homey.

Mediterranean restaurant in a strip mall location with plenty of parking. My husband and I ordered the chicken, lamb, sample platter, friends which were all delicious. The restaurant itself is very cozy and romantic, I would say that our waitress must had been new because the service was choppy: the waitress would ask us if we want anything a few times in 10 mins but seemed like she was forced to do so lol. But would return again for more Mediterranean food!

Ive never had tunisian food and it was honestly SO good. I was not expecting much based on ambiance and it being in a parking lot but almost every meal was really tasteful. The shrimp and gritts were my least favorite and felt the hand of fatima quantity was little for value but everything else tasted great. Wish it had better ambiance/location to make it better for date night

bread pudding
Bethany L.

Service was very helpful and informative! Refilled waters several times. We got these for ~120$ before tip/tax: hands of fatima: 7/10, a bit underwhelming for how popular it is. Liked attagirl's platter better, but the bread was fluffy and crisp. falafel sliders 9/10: normally wary of falafels as they tend to be dry, but these were so juicy and flavorful. another must have Beef cheek cous cous: 10/10! best item we got; meat was soo tender and paired well with the spices. chicken mosil: 7.5/10, the chicken was crispy and the quinoa was great but not my fav flavor profile. bread pudding: 6/10, was highly recommended but was dry. I do like that it wasnt super sweet though.

Our 1st time at Barsha. Food was great. Our server was overloaded with tables but incredibly efficient & very attentive. We weren't terribly hungry so we ordered a bunch of sides and a couple of drinks. All the ingredients were super fresh & everything was delish. Would definitely love to come back & try some more dishes. One negative was that it was kind of dark and loud (but it was a weekend night). I'd be interested in coming back on a weekday :).

Lamb Meatballs
Edward S.

Barsha is a laid back spot that's great for light bites and drinks with your friends after an afternoon at the beach. The team here is very friendly and welcoming. The owner knows how to take care of his guests. Lamb Meatballs: The meatballs are big and plump. They are nice and chewy on the inside with a bit of a sticky and crisp exterior. The m'hamsa stew contains hand rolled couscous with an optimal size. The tiny pearls are large enough so they're not gritty and small enough that they're not doughy. The stew itself is tomato based, nice and savory, with spinach, and warmed by gentle spices and seasonings. The cilantro labneh provides a luscious and creamy topping for the meatballs. Dining Area: The snug spot has a handful of tables inside and outside, plus a bar and counter. Parking: The giant strip mall (is it really even a strip mall?) has a big lot with many open spaces.

Interior decor

This place is so special! The ambiance is lovely, the staff are attentive, and the food and wine were very high quality. I ordered the Terramagna Sillares Syrah blend and my sister got the Xarmant Txakolina. Both were delicious! The Syrah blend was very rich and intense, and the txakolina was crisp and smooth. We ordered the moussaka, roasted cauliflower, and pappardelle. Each one was full of unique flavor and texture. The pappardelle noodles are made in house! Everything tasted very flavorful and fresh. We ended the night with the rose trifle for dessert. It was slightly tart and not overly sweet. It was extremely popular with my niece! Overall, we had a wonderful time, and I look forward to coming back.

Our first time here with friends for my birthday. We heard lots of great things about this restaurant. This is a very authentic Mediterranean *Tunisian flavored and inspired menu. The chefs are creative, but most of all passionate about what they put on their plates. The flavors are packed and the spices are unique to the region of North Africa. Love the use of cous-cous and quinoa and their sauces. Just enough acidity and fats and salt. The branzino was cooked to perfection. The mussels and dips/bread starters were delicious as well. My wife loved the chicken dark meat and potatoes. She stated that it was a bit salty but she is sensitive to well seasoned foods. Anyway, the service was great and the atmosphere was very nice. It was busy for a Sunday night at a location that you could easily drive right by. The inside is nicely decored and the lighting is very nice. Would definitely recommend this place for the incredible food and ambiance. Overall, we loved this place at first glance/taste. Enjoy!

hand of fatima
Danni Y.

Highly recommend the falafel sliders! Amazing texture and flavor of the falafel paired with a delicious sauce 5/5 for sure! We also enjoyed the hand of fatima with the crusty bread - the bread was really warm and fresh, loved the hummus and pesto dips especially. The lamb meatballs were juicy but the couscous on the bottom wasn't my favorite. The spritz and golden hour drinks were good but i think we could've skipped the bread pudding. The atmosphere was lively though it can be a little loud. The manager seemed to know everyone and greeted the tables which was nice, although some of the service seemed a little rushed. Overall a decent place to come with friends and enjoy some dips and sliders!

Lamb meatballs with labneh
Jimmy S.

Roasted cauliflower and other veggies were great. The lamb meatballs was so good with labneh and accoutrements. The beef cheek cous cous was so soft and tender. The waiters were very attentive and helpful in the menu selection. The moussaka and beet hummus were super good! The shrimp and grits had a lot of flavor and not too much heaviness on their take. The noise is a bit loud so it's a bit hard to hear and they have live music nights!

De Soi Golden Hour (non-alcoholic)
Lisa Y.

If you're looking for something different in the South Bay, I'd recommend trying Barsha! They serve Tunisian food, which was my first time having. We started off with some non-alcoholic apertifs that sounded really interesting! The De Soi Purple Lune has dark fruit, rose, Gentian root, Ashwagnda, green tea, and black pepper. The De Soi Golden Hour has pear, yuzu, earl grey tea, bergamot, lemongrass, maca, and elderflower. For appetizers, we got the Housemade Farmers Cheese, which was nice and creamy. It comes with roasted beets, charred tomato, balsamic grapes, pistachio, and a side of sliced bread. We also got the Chicken Liver Pate, served with pistachio and a seasonal compote, as well as bread. Would get this again! For small bites, we got the Roasted Eggplant. It's mixed with heirloom tomato, caramelized onion, balsamic, and almond with a side of bread. This was quite tasty! I definitely recommend their Falafel Sliders! These come with caramelized and pickled onion, tabil aioli, cucumber, feta, and labheh on a toasted slider bun. For items from the "Bigger Bites" section of the menu, we go the Lamb Meatballs that come in a M'hamsa stew with cous cous and labneh. We also got the Moussaka, an eggplant stew with tabil bechamel, parmesan, and croutons on top. I enjoyed this dish! This was a good amount of food for a group of four people! Everything is set up to be shared with the exception of the sliders. They also have live music that happens on select Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. We left just as they were setting up the stage, but I'd love to come back to enjoy the food and music!

Hi! Is the meat Zabiha Halal?

It would appear the Lamb meets Halal standards and the chicken is in the process of getting there. No word on their beef though. Great question!

Hi! Is your restaurant zabiha halal?

Given reviews say the wine pours are "generous", I'd imagine it isn't halal. Sorry.

Do you have happy hour?

Hi Lauren, thank you for your inquiry. unfortunately we don’t at the moment. Best regards,…

Their…read moreSalmon Pesto Panini is one of the best sandwiches I've ever had: fresh, premium salmon; fresh veggies and pesto; mozzarella cheese; all wrapped in a fresh pita from a local bakery. Large portions with a delicious fresh side salad. I love it! I order it every time; I can't resist it! The owner and his staff are all so kind and welcoming. They make you feel like family. The restaurant itself is stunningly beautiful, too.

Meat is excellent. Service was severely lacking…read more I was treated strangely for asking for a side of mast-o-musir (yogurt and shallots, which was very good) and actual soft lavash rather than the crispy bread to go with my $40 lamb kabob. I had to ask again before actually getting them; the first time, I was told to share the tiny side someone else at my table had received. The rice also wasn't very good and, in my opinion, wasn't how Persian rice should be. The restaurant was extremely hot as well, with no air conditioning and only limited fans. I love Persian food, and the meat itself was genuinely excellent, so I could see getting takeout here. But based on the service, sides, rice, and overall comfort, I wouldn't recommend dining in.
