July 2025 brings exciting developments to Israel's kosher culinary landscape, with new restaurant openings like Barbunia in Kiryat Ono, Fishco in Nahariya, and the introduction of a kosher dairy menu at Jewel Cocktail Bar in Tel Aviv, along…
Barbunia in Tel Aviv is fantastic. The service was warm and quick, and Adi made us feel like regulars the moment we sat down. The food was incredibly fresh—simple dishes done perfectly, full of flavor, and served piping hot. It’s the kind of place you leave already planning your next visit. Highly recommend.
We dined here because this place is a Tel Aviv institution, but felt that our one-time experience was more than sufficient. The dining room next to the bar where we were seated allows smoking, so beware if you are sensitive or simply a non-smoker. Service was pretty lackadaisical, even for Israel. Food was alright. No real complaints except for the portion sizes compared to the prices. There are simply mich better meals to be had in Tel Aviv and the surrounding areas.

Absolutely vile experience! We were 5 people who each ordered a dish and waited for more than an hour and got absolutely nothing! The only explanation we got was that it was busy only to find out that their fryer broke down and they were STILL seating people. Any restaurant that respects itself would come to the guests with a transparent answer instead of lying and stringing us along. We left hungry. DO NOT COME HERE.

Very informal atmosphere but it carries a lot of the hipster vibe of Tel Aviv. Food was good and not overly expensive, service was friendly but the place feels like a pita shop in a local shuk / market. It really gives a bit the impression that you are eating in the backyard of one of your friend houses. The toilets were not great with a dead cockroach just lying next to it… overall felt very Tel Avivi, good food in a round down atmosphere. I will go back!

Nice food, great fish... Rough but simpatetic service... Short concise and precise about this restaurant. Decent choice of fish and seafood. Nice starters, but simple service and... decoration. Yes... The girls may "trough" the plates to the table, yet they are helpful - seen much, much, worst than that... Yet they are helpful and the food definitely makes worth a visit... So... Decide for your self... After reading recent reviews I decide I would risk a visit... I do not regret it...
