Azia 19

we had am amazing experience both as a couple and as a group of 8 when we came to celebrate a birthday to a friend. The food was really surprising, as it is really unique in terms of tastes and size (not finger food at all!) Drinks were great (we had a few cocktails) and overall environment was truly fun as service was good but not heavy at all, the guys were in a good vibe there.

Best Restaurant in Jerusalem. If you want it all you get it all, atmosphere stunning, Bar amazing, service impeccable and the food wow. Outstanding quality- fish, sushi, steak wow.

⭐ 1/5 – Rude, chaotic service that ruins the entire experience The positive reviews for AZIA 19 are genuinely puzzling. While the food itself was acceptable, the service was disgraceful and outright hostile. We were a table of four, hosting visiting guests. After a reasonable start with drinks and starters, everything fell apart. Our four main courses arrived one by one—the first plate served alone, the second about four minutes later, and the final two nearly fifteen minutes after that. By the time everyone was eating, the first dish was cold. There was no apology, no explanation, and zero accountability when I questioned why the meals weren’t served together. The manager’s behavior was even worse. He repeatedly walked past our table physically bumping into my arm, never once apologizing. After we ordered dessert, he came over and bluntly announced: “You need to leave in 10 minutes, I need your table.” Not a request. Not an apology. A demand. This is unacceptable in any restaurant, but especially at a place that charged over NIS 1,300 for the evening. At that price point, one expects basic courtesy, professionalism, and respect for guests. None were provided. My guests were unimpressed, I was embarrassed as a host, and the overall experience was poor from start to finish. Despite the hype, I would not return and will actively avoid recommending AZIA 19 to anyone looking for a kosher restaurant in Jerusalem. One star. Spend your money elsewhere.

Japanese restaurant. Very original and interesting menu. The problem for us was that we didn’t understand the menu so we had to ask our waiter again and again, who coped with us very well. The tailor made cocktails were excellent and so was the waiter’s willingness to go back into the kitchen again and again to get answers for our questions about ingredients used in the dishes which we were curious about. Eating here at lunchtime granted us 20% discount.
