Gola Tunisian Restaurant & Bar in San Francisco's vibrant Mission District offers a unique dining experience with a modern twist on authentic Tunisian cuisine. The establishment draws inspiration from traditional Tunisian vessels called "Gola," which were historically used for various purposes including cooking and storing liquids like water, milk, and olive oil.

At Gola, traditional Tunisian preparations meet locally sourced ingredients to create dishes that honor both Tunisian roots and Californian influences. One standout offering is Boukha, a natural fig brandy known as an "Eau de Vie," with a rich history dating back to the Middle Ages. Boukha, a colorless spirit made solely from water and figs, represents Tunisia's unique contribution to the world of distilled beverages.

Please bear with me while I write this review...I am very much an Asian food girl. Give me dim sum, noodles, and sushi any day and I'll be happy. But if you gave me the option of eating at my...
