Le Baloua sur Douai

If you're looking for a place to eat, look no further. The reputation and reviews on various platforms are a testament to the quality of the food. For my part, I had the royal couscous, which was very generous, with a large portion of semolina, a sauce with vegetables, and a selection of high-quality meats (merguez sausage, chicken, mechoui, and kebabs) that melted in my mouth and were lean. The staff was pleasant and attentive, and the place was very welcoming, calm, and beautifully decorated. Excellent value for money. I highly recommend it and thank all the staff at Baloua.

While passing through Douai, we discovered this place online and after reading the reviews, we decided to give it a try. It was a real treat: the tuna brik, the couscous, the lamb tagine, and even the tea! 🤩 We received a very warm welcome from all the staff, even though we hadn't made a reservation. There was no wait to be served. We'll definitely be back on our next trip to Douai.

Service and atmosphere were very good. Quality/price ratio too high. Exorbitant drink prices: €10 for a non-alcoholic cocktail (just a simple fruit juice available in bottles at the supermarket) €28-€32 for a bottle of Moroccan/Algerian red wine, available for €8 at Auchan Royal couscous at €32: 1 lukewarm and slightly burnt merguez sausage 1 piece of low-quality chicken 1 piece of reheated mechoui (roast lamb) 1 acceptable lamb skewer, nothing special Vegetables and broth Average cost of the meal (1 course) with drinks (1 cocktail and 2 glasses of wine) €50 Tea wasn't even offered at the end of the meal… Price paid: double what it's worth.

As usual, nothing to criticize.

A warm and welcoming restaurant with excellent cuisine!

Very good food and a warm atmosphere for this New Year's Eve party

Excellent food in a wonderful setting and atmosphere... I highly recommend it.

Great evening, delicious meal and very reasonable prices

Excellent oriental restaurant, superb service, and delicious, generous couscous! The mechoui was tender, delicious, and a good portion (I'd say 200-250g of meat 👌). Very friendly waiter, excellent service, and a quiet interior—perfect. Thank you!

Excellent restaurant! I highly recommend it!
