This past weekend we discovered and tried out a new fast food place called Southern Fried Chicken on the Hedi Nouria road in Al Nasr 2.
I had passed in front of the place a few weeks ago, and it was still not open yet, and thought I’d check back on it when it was open, and this weekend we did and went in and tried it, twice.
Southern Fried Chicken (SFC) is as its name suggests a fast food restaurant mainly specializing in chicken meals, à la KFC for those who have had the pleasure.
SFC is a UK food franchise, and now that I come to think of it, I think I saw a couple of SFC restaurants in the UK before, but never got around to trying their food.
I really liked the setting and decor, the food is pretty good and the prices are quite ok too. I tried two menus up to now, one consisting of pieces of chicken and the other a chicken burger, and they both were good.
I hope we see other international food chains and franchises opening up in Tunisia soon. And please, if you’re one of those people who are thinking of commenting right now to tell me that we don’t want that kind of internationalization, and that you’d rather stick to lablabi and kaftaji, or that they’re unhealthy, you can spare yourself the effort, I’ve heard it all on several previous posts, and I respectfully disagree.
I love lablabi, I love kaftaji, I love a good s’han tounsi, …etc; But I also love a good burger every once in a while, some nicely cooked chicken every other while, or a yummy stuffed crust pizza some other times, …etc.
It’s up to me to take care of my health and choose when to go eat at these places and how often. I demand my freedom to eat whatever I choose 😛
Anyway, SFC is worth checking out for those who are fast food fans like me. They claim it has a lip licking flavour, which falls a bit short from KFC’s finger lickin’ goodness, but well, worth the try.
I do trust you as long as i know that our tastes match quite a lot 🙂
I’ve already tried SFC in England, it’s not really a KFC like as long as it’s managed by some Indian and Paki guys. but hope it’s serving something alike.
keep you up dude!
Franchement , leur Burger est excellent

Our daughter several years back fought in the ranks of the Fighters for Feathered Friends, a/k/a PETA, picketing our local KFC. (Happily, an orphaned chicken didn’t follow her home.)
The picketers did cut down on the lunchtime traffic. One misguided, corpulent soul in a passing Hummer bearing a “W’04” sticker rudely gesticulated, calling the picketers, mostly high schoolers, “f-ing eco-terrorists!” (Homeland Security didn’t respond, but then no one was sporting a keffiyeh.)
Though that’s KFC–perhaps SFC have devised a non-violent means of dispatching their fowl.
If you do continue eating there, keep an eye on your cholesterol–KFC’s Death on a Drumstick. Me, I’d stay with the lablabi and kaftaji.
So much for chickens. Back to seeing what I can do for our chicken-hawks, those who, like McCain, want to stay in Iraq for 100 years, albeit but six months at a time and at no risk themselves.
Cheers,
J.
Wot part of tunisia this in? might be going there this summer for sum wedding
I love SFC, although Tunisia is already cheap on fast food… wots the price range?
Nothing beats the good old KFC chiken and a well made s’han tounsi.
you should come to Malaysia and see, how awful it is….
Hello! I like your blog and especially this great article! SFC sounds like a very good fried chicken. I will write to my nieces in Tunisia, who are actually my friend’s granddaughters (and I think of their family as part of my family).
Over the past five years or more, I’ve been trying to find gift cards for fast food and department store chains but nobody says they offer a gift card I can send to Tunisia. Does SFC offer gift cards?
