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!

    We reserved a table for five, but it appeared only to accommodate four. Additionally, there were many empty tables available then. This small table was inconvenient for us as we had five meals and bottled water to manage. However, the service was excellent, and the meal was amazing. We had a good time there.
