Fall in love with Tunisian food at Barsha in Hermosa Beach, Los Angeles

Updated: Aug 13, 2024

Be prepared to fall in love with Tunisian food at Barsha! Owned by Adnan who also owns the Barsha wine shop on Sepulveda in Manhattan Beach, this restaurant is worth visiting.


On your visit, order a 'dips' appetizer and be served in a Hamsa, a Bohemian-looking ceramic serving platter.

Barsha sells this piece in their wine store but if you don't live near by, find it on Amazon.

(Berber: ⵜⴰⴼⵓⵙⵜ Tafust, Arabic: خمسة‎ khamsah, Hebrew: חמסה‎ khamsah). It is derived from the word, Khamsah an Arabic word that means "five", but also "the five fingers of the hand" Traditionally, the Hamsa has been used as an amulet that protects from the evil eye and is popular across the Maghrebi region and the Middle East.





On our last visit, we ordered a bunch of things. They have a ton of vegetarian options and things can definitely made vegan, if you request.


Their appetizer platter, served in the Hamsa platter had olive tapenade, pesto, harissa, olives and hummus. You MUST order this, it all goes great with their wines.


I would suggest trying out their specials, we ordered their special Tunisian bruschetta which was vegetarian and just delicious. They substituted hummus for mayo to veganize one of the two Falafel sliders that just melted in our mouth. Our daughter ordered the Mac and Cheese with Zaatar fries, which was tasty. The chickpea stew with feta had strong tangy flavors.





Seating is both inside and outdoors, with heaters. Dogs are allowed outside.


Reservation is strongly recommended. We tried a walk-in and they had a two-hour wait. On our last visit, we got a table at 8:30 PM!


But the food and wine is great, beautiful music and ambiance and just the best staff. Add it to your must-try list of restaurants!


Address: 1141 Aviation Blvd, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254

Closed Mondays and Tuesdays, Open Wednesdays - Sunday 5 PM - 9 PM

Has live music!
