Ali Baba's Tunisian Cuisine serves traditional Tunisian dishes from 1146 Tutanekai Street in central Rotorua, and holds a 4.7 rating on Google. Tunisian cooking sits where North Africa meets the Mediterranean, with couscous as the centrepiece — properly steamed until light and separate rather than rehydrated — and harissa, the fiery chilli paste, added gradually at the table until the heat suits you. Brik, a crisp fried pastry wrapped around a soft egg, is the classic way to start. A useful thing to know: a Tunisian tagine is closer to a baked egg dish than the slow-simmered stew of Morocco. Sharing is the norm and portions tend to be generous. Ali Baba's brings that tradition to Tutanekai Street, in the heart of Rotorua's central dining district.
