Really friendly and accommodating owner - very laid back despite being very busy (always a great sign at any business). I had a vegan sabich as I can't eat eggs - it was delicious and full of fresh ingredients. I didn't give a rating for the atmosphere as you're sitting outside on stools at tables - which is fine - so it's not really applicable. I'll definitely be back here - it was really good! I found this place a few weeks back during my research - now I wish I'd come here sooner 😎

My first Israeli Sabich experience and it is nothing close to any western sandwiches I ever had. They cut open the pita bread with a small cutter blade and it surprisingly holds 2-4 folds of fillings than its own weight. Fried eggplant, boiled egg, cabbages, tahini sauce and bunch of aromatics and veggie. The end result is each mouthful is an explosion and mixture of different favour and texture.
Sabich became my new favourite Middle Eastern dishes and I was told I went to the best Sabich in Israel. Maybe that’s why.

Absolute Best Sabich in Tel Aviv!! They carefully assemble it like a work of art! If you’re in Tel Aviv this is a once in a lifetime place to eat.
Very reasonable prices.
They even offer a sabich in a gluten free pita if you desire.

This sabich is worth the queue. The (painfully) slow service comes due to the great attention to details, which gives you the best sabich in town - hands down! Do dare and try the addition of cheese, which works magic with the eggplant. Be patient and enjoy.

Sabich is my absolutely favorite food I ate in Israel and the one from Sabich Tschernikovsiky is just THE ONE. This November I’ve tried it for the second time after 3 years break and it’s still just the best. Plus, they also had a really tasty gluten free pita, which was such a positive surprise. Compared to other Sabich I ate in Israel, this one was done with the greatest meticulous care, assembled layer after layer, rather than just throwing all the ingredients inside. All done without the unnecessary rush, so that you can taste each of the veg inside. The eggplant and the egg was also cooked just perfectly. Thank you, I will be back!
