Overall, a very good dining experience. We ordered 7 dishes and 1 dessert, and everything was well thought out, nicely balanced, and full of flavor. The dishes felt creative but not overwhelming, with good portion sizes and satisfying textures.
Prices are on the higher side, around 60–80 NIS for a medium-sized dish, but the quality justifies it. The cocktail menu is mostly based on classic drinks; however, we tried one of the cocktails invented in-house and it was excellent. Sweet, sour, and spicy notes were perfectly balanced. One point for improvement would be to add more house-made or signature cocktails instead of relying mainly on traditional classics.
The flavors overall are very good, the service was pleasant and professional, and the location is easy to find. Definitely worth a visit.
I’ll start off by saying the space is a vibe! The music is really fun, lots of early 2000s r&b classics. We really enjoyed! There’s a nice wine selection, and some fun cocktails. The food on the other hand was a bit disappointing. I had very high expectations, however most of the dishes just didn’t hit. There was too much foam on too many dishes, a couple of them were just too rich, and overall we didn’t really enjoy most of the dishes. The two that we did enjoy were the tuna sashimi, and the shrimp katsu. I would go back for drinks and to get those two dishes!
Bandit one of the most interesting chef-restaurant concepts in Tel Aviv.
The dishes are creative, the vibe is cozy, and overall the value for money is surprisingly good.
We tried:
✨ Oysters
✨ Bread with smoked butter
✨ Shosuka
✨ Kurded Tuna
✨ Sparigns
✨ Sotolazi for dessert
Some of the dishes were spicy 🌶️, so keep that in mind if you’re sensitive.
Overall it was nice, enjoyable, and the food was good…
but I wouldn’t say I was amazed. Still, it’s a cool experience and worth trying at least once.
Nice flavours with exotic kicks, medium sized meals , plating is beautiful!
On the off side the brioche used on some meals are extra fatty and sometimes overwhelm the other flavours
