HARISSA, the restaurant, pays homage to Chef Alain Cohen’s Tunisian origins, his family’s Paris restaurant, and his American culinary experiences. HARISSA, the name, celebrates the beloved spicy sauce that symbolizes Chef Cohen’s vibrant cuisine. In fact, harissa is so valued in Tunisia that an old wive’s tale says a husband can judge his wife’s affections by the number of hot peppers she uses when preparing his food.

No reservations between 6 and 8 pm. A party of 2 can't reserve a four-top or the 6-seat booth.
Love this place! Great brisket sandwiches, great burgers, and great Tunisian food. They also have a liquor license now. They have great lunch specials. Highly recommend this place. One of the best kosher restaurants in LA.
I enjoyed a truly wonderful meal here. Restaurant was formerly Got Kosher?, and I believe they renamed themselves so that the can expand their menus and wine list. Whatever the case, the food here was prepared well, plated beautifully, and tasted good...
Food is not just glorious, it has much deeper significance than just sustenance, it is deeply rooted in culture, religion and geography. At Harissa, you have a combination of Kosher, Tunisian and French influences...
I thoroughly enjoyed my evening at Harissa. I'll definitely be going back because there's so much more to try. If you're looking for a place that is different from your usual burgers and french fries, and kabobs, you will pleasantly surprised I'm sure...
