Chatuchak Restaurant

The food at Chatuchak was genuinely good — flavorful, fresh, and well presented. Our waiter was excellent and really elevated the experience with attentive, friendly service. However, the overall experience was disappointing. We were limited to a strict two-hour seating, and exactly when our time was up, the bill was brought to the table and we were firmly asked to leave because the table was reserved. What made it frustrating was that at least half of the restaurant was empty at the time. We were still dining and would have appreciated a more flexible or thoughtful solution, especially given the visible availability. It felt unnecessary and rushed, and unfortunately that overshadowed what could have been a great evening. With a bit more consideration and customer care in situations like this, the experience could have been very different.

The food is delicious - The décor is stunning and overall cool vibe. The main issue is the portion size of the main dishes, which felt more like first-course portions. When we raised this concern, we mentioned that we ordered 4 entrées and 5 main dishes for 5 adults and still left hungry. Unfortunately, that feedback wasn’t really addressed.

A bit disappointing as service wasn’t great. The food was tasty but forgot to pack up all our food which we had barely finished. We only realized after we were half way home when looked into the takeout bag. The cucumber salad and calamari was delicious.

Food is delicious, well prepared and visually appealing. The decor is also stunning and the free parking is a nice touch. The problem is the size of the main dish portions (that to me resemble first course dishes). When we complained about the size of our 4 main dishes to the waitress, the response was “Yeah some of the main courses are relatively small as the ones you chose”. 3 of the 4 main courses were recommended by the restaurant, why not tell us this in advance ? Again, taste wise it’s a 5/5. But to spend 630 shekels + tip between 4 people and leave the restaurant hungry is annoying.
