Where can I eat some good North African food in Paris?

Moroccan, Tunisian, Algerian etc. As with all tourists, I'm looking for authentic little cafes and diners rather than fancy restaurants, any "fusion" driven establishments, or places where tourists go. I have found a few suggestions using Google but I thought I'd see if anyone has any personal faves...

I enjoyed Chez Jafaar, a Tunisian restaurant, in the Latin Quater a couple of years ago. It seemed a nice little family-run place. Definitely ate there because we were hungary, it was late and the restaurant was close to our hotel. We lucked out because it was really enjoyable, but I'm not a connoisseur of North African cuisine by any means.

Link to an old SFGate review.

I wouldn't go to the Latin Quarter, I'd go where the North Africans are, for instance the Goutte d'Or district (east of Montmartre), where I had delicious briks for almost nothing some years back.
