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.

We took our granddaughter who is a vegetarian and has recently been to Israel. She gave it a thumbs up! Everything we ordered was delicious including the warm pita bread ,hummus, falafel, baked eggplant and Israeli salad. We ordered the chocolate halva and it was also a hit.

My first time at Hamas and we went for my husband’s birthday and new years. While the food tasted absolutely amazing, everything else was a nightmare. Wrong drinks, waiting 30 mins to even place an order, no knife to cute the cake until after waiting 20 mins after cake appeared, taking full bread back to bag up and coming back with 2 slices?! The only things saving them was the food and atmosphere.

Everything is delicious, but The Whole Shebang is a must get, especially if it’s your first Hamsa experience!

Dined with our family for Christmas Day dinner which happened to also be the beginning of Hanukkah. It was festive with both Hanukkah and Christmas music. The aromas, music, people and of course the food made for a merry evening. Horace was a super nice server.
