Friends from all over France, a new player in the culinary scene has been delighting our taste buds for the past few weeks: you can now taste the real couscous from Gad Elmaleh's mom (yes, it makes no sense). And that in 28 cities in France including Montpellier!

It all started with a joke during the lockdown: far from her son, Régine, Gad Elmaleh's mother, has her homemade couscous delivered to him with love. Gad, accompanied by his entrepreneur friend Clément, enjoys it with him, and the latter, who devours it in one bite, says, "This couscous is amazing, your mom should distribute it to everyone, it would be a hit!" Couscous with merguez, meatballs, or vegan options Régine takes him up on his offer, and a few weeks later, the machine was set in motion: with Clément's help, she started delivering her famous couscous all over France since January 26, 2022... at 80 years old, because there is no age to become an entrepreneur. The name of the concept? Walida. On the menu, delivery throughout France (28 cities to be exact) with a menu entirely designed by Gad's mom. Chicken couscous, merguez, lamb or meatball couscous, as well as a 100% vegan range with the waligane (royal couscous), waliguez (merguez couscous) and waligumes (all vegetable). No matter the city, she ensures, all couscous will have the authentic taste of Régine's. From Paris to Marseille through Annecy, everything is halal certified, and we accompany it all with a little chakchouka or a lemonade. And good appetite, as they say.
