Our experience was great. Every bite of food we had was delicious. The cocktail (Mrs. Mulla) was one of the best cocktails I’ve ever had. The service was very attentive. The style of the restaurant is stunning, there are so many details that make it beautiful. Highly recommend for a special meal out!
Came spontaneously after visiting performance at Suzanne Dellal Centre. Didn’t have much expectations, never really heard of a place before — great surprise! Attentive and courteous service. Great food. Lamb, in all 3 dishes we got, superb. The brain special — wow. We’ll be back. Recommended!

Delicious food with a nice variety of choices. The portions' size was not very big but it was still good enough to share (4 people). Fun atmosphere.
The service was okay, but we could have gotten better attention with the wine (the waiter brought a different bottle at first and almost opened it, and served the second round unequally, leaving 2 of us with no second glass, so each couple had to share).
We liked that we had the chance to see the chef Naifa working openly in the kitchen, and also when she approached all tables to chat shortly.
Definitely worth going to get an experience of druze kitchen, and leave room for dessert.

A great place. Not a cheap meal, but a great value for money. Unique tastes, some of the dishes are very strong (might be too aggressive for some), medium to small dishes, good for sharing a lot of them between several people. Even though most of the dishes that consist of few single pieces always came in a number not easy for sharing (2, 3, 5, 9...)

This is, without a doubt, the best culinary experience I've had in Tel Aviv in years. The food was spectacular, and the flavors were unique and impactful. We basically ordered the entire menu and were not disappointed. From the salad to the bread to the fish and finally the meat, it was all just a collection of unforgettable experiences one bite after another. The vibe in the restaurant is amazing, with authentic music and energetic staff. The chef Naifa is busy doing her art and producing top top quality experience, and can be seen working hard behind the line. This is a must visit for anyone in the area, and if they would give them in Israel, this would have been a michelin star restaurant!
