    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

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    Zaatar Fries
    Jynelle Christine S.

    I was looking for a new restaurant to try for date night and I'm really glad I found this place! First the food was delicious, we got the zaatar fries, chicken liver and beef cheeks which were all a 10/10. Second the ambiance was great, nice lighting not too fancy but also not too casual - perfect for a weekday date night. And last but certainly not least, the service was wonderful. Probably the best service I've ever experienced! 10/10 definitely recommend

    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,… 

    Do you take reservations?

    Yes they do

    Can you bring your own bottle of wine?

    Yes you can! Our corkage fee is $30. We look forward to seeing you soon!

    Do they offer gift cards or gift certificates?

    Hello, yes we do! For our restaurant in Hermosa you can call 424-452-6266. And for our wine shop / wine bar in Manhattan Beach you can call 310-318-9080. Happy Holidays!

    I'd love to see a copy of their nightly takeout family meals if the restaurant can post them.?

    Posted here! Not sure how often they update the weekly menu options but they are good at updating the website. Actually just picked up their pot pie dinners tonight! Enjoy!…

I did not dine in the restaurants, so I can't speak to the in-person dining experience. Overall, I was impressed with the room service. Every meal arrived fresh, hot, and well-presented, and each staff member who delivered my food was friendly and courteous. Here are my thoughts on the items I ordered: Cali Burrito - Generous chunks of steak and shrimp made this a yummy with the portion size just right, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Clam Chowder - Good flavor and enjoyable overall. While I've had better clam chowder elsewhere, I would definitely order this again. Truffle Fries - I was craving ties so this hit the spot. Both the ketchup and black garlic sauce complemented them perfectly. Brussels Sprouts - Unfortunately, this dish missed the mark for me. There was too much sauce, which made it soggy and mushy, and the overall flavor was overly salty. Chocolate cake - this was a miss. It was dry. Cornmeal Pancakes - Absolutely delicious. The blueberry butter elevated the dish, and it was easily one of my favorite items during my stay. Overall, I was very pleased with my room service experience. The quality of the food and the excellent service left a positive impression, and I would be happy to dine at the restaurant itself the next time I'm in town.

    Another wonderful visit to Baleen. We did stay at the Portofino for a number of nights (we come…read morehere a few times a year now). Room service is always wonderful and the food comes from Baleen Kitchen. So I can attest to great coffee, fresh pastries and almost all of the breakfast choices. This day we enjoyed brunch outside at Baleen's. It was a beautiful setting with excellent service and very comfortable. We enjoyed the crabcake benedict, Huevos 'Redondos', Chia Pudding, and American Breakfast with bacon. The benedict was absolutely delicious and a special treat, the Huevos 'Redondos' was so very flavorful, and the American Breakfast is always a fan favorite. The breakfast potatoes are some of the best you will find. The portions are perfect, enough to fill your tummy. Enjoy the food, enjoy the scenery, enjoy the service! Sometimes food and service will be second when seeking out a marina type restaurant, but not here. They all three will put a smile on your face. Get out of the city, get to the beach for some ocean therapy and good food!

It's a small restaurant, and it seemed like reservations are highly recommended, if not required. Luckily, they were able to squeeze us in right before another reservation.

They offer a huge selection of grilled, steamed, fried, and cold dishes, so there's something for everyone. The skewers were amazing, and the grilled onigiri was one of my favorites.

One thing to keep in mind: the rice pot takes about 45 minutes to cook because they start with raw rice. I wish our server had mentioned this when we ordered, because we probably would have skipped it knowing how long it would take. Overall, I'm really glad we stumbled upon this place.

The Turkey Club caught my eye--classic, no fuss. I ordered it, skipping the tomato and avocado, and added a side Caesar for balance. Simple, solid, exactly right for that in-between kind of afternoon. Later that evening, I came back to pregame--needed something to smooth the edges.

Tito's and tonic felt like exactly what the doctor would've prescribed--crisp, clean, just the right amount of courage in a glass. The pour was generous, and before long, I felt the lock in my head click open. Wit, charm, one-liners--I could feel the entertainer in me stirring, ready to trade in the quiet for something electric. The bartender--sharp-eyed and perceptive--caught the thirst in me and asked if I was ready for another. I didn't hesitate, even knowing happy hour was just a concept, not a deal. His delivery of the bad news was so dry, so perfectly timed, I laughed and handed over my card without blinking. Sometimes, a good drink and a better exchange are worth the markup.
