Lonely Planet review for Mat'am Obaya
This is the sort of place that Lonely Planet authors hesitate to include in a book for fear that they can't get a table next time they visit. It's small with no pretensions to luxury, but there's no finer seafood in Libya and all of it is home-cooked by the amiable Mohammed Obaya, who represents all that is good about old-style Libyan warmth and hospitality. The stuffed calamari is Mohammed's own creation, not to mention the tastiest restaurant dish you'll find in Libya.
The shola or faruj fish with sauce and couscous are not far behind.
