Came here for dinner and absolutely loved everything we ordered! Jericho beans and the eggplant were our two most favorite dishes. While this is more of a bar that serves food, we thought the food was actually better than in a few much more high-end restaurants we’ve visited.
The place is very busy and there was a ~30 minute wait, but once we were seated the food arrived very quickly. Service was good. Our waiter was very friendly and spoke good English. Card payment was no issue.
A bit disappointed.
Restaurant with a great atmosphere, and nice music. The ambiance was great, lot of people and nice sitting outdoors.
We waited 40min in a queue (Saturday 3pm)
When it comes to food it was nothing special. We have tried:
- baked potato - do not recommend
- ratatouille - amazing!
- courgette with ricotta - light and fresh
Overall we felt a bit sick after the food, the prices were high and portions small. I wouldn't come back to eat there however the whole experience was very nice.
first meal in israel was amazing! recommend the tomatoes, so simple, yet addictive and wishing there was more! atmosphere was loud and active, wait time for a table is quite long, as you can tell people just sit around and smoke, but other than that, delicious food
Word of advice if you’re in Tel Aviv - EAT HERE!
They recommended this place to us and after our first visit (more than 2 years ago) we fell in love with the food! Everything is just amazing (and this is something I don’t say lightly). Now upon our second visit to Tel Aviv we knew we needed to return. Spoiler: it was just as incredible as the first time.
Even though everything is great, I must say that the lemon green beans are absolutely stellar 🤤
An institution in TLV's scene - and surely a great spot - for lunch. And I am sure also in the evening though recently only been for lunch couple of times.
Various yummy dishes - some portions are not too big. So better to order three dishes for 2 people. But the tastes are surely worth the extra!
