Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Yotam

From the OpenTable editors: With a Moorish arch-framed bar, clusters of olive trees, and colourful Turkish rugs, a meal at this buzzy Israeli spot is a fully immersive experience. Grab a seat in the energetic dining room or on the charming patio for shareable Middle Eastern-inspired small plates, grilled meat skewers, and arak flights. Come on Thursday evenings to be dazzled by belly dancers in traditional garb and beats from local DJs.

    The food was delicious, and the outdoor dining area was so beautifully decorated with lush vegetation. Our server was very nice and helpful. We appreciated the way they honored our anniversary celebration with a champagne toast. Very thoughtful!

    Pretty restaurant. Turkish coffee was WEAK. Dont tell me it’s Turkish coffee. It is NOT. Not in color, taste or depth. Just because it’s served in Turkish copper serving dish doesn’t make it Turkish coffee. Chicken kabob presented at the table with skewer which is then dramatically taken of is just silly. Take the chicken off the skewers in the kitchen. I don’t need the unnecessary presentation. Furthermore the chicken was flavorless and rubbery. The dips were good as well as the bread. Star of the show was mushroom hummus. It was very good. But not worth returning for. Service was ok but our waitperson acted as if he was moving heaven and earth when I asked for something. Borderline rude and pompous but I ignored him and eventually he calmed the hell down with the tude. I will never go back. Ever.
