The 30 best shawarma spots in Jaffa

I love eating here and deliberately wanted to make this restaurant my first stop for shawarma once I landed in TLV back in my first-ever visit to Israel. Very easy service where they handle the long lines efficiently and are helpful behind the counter. Even better quality food and at decent prices. It's nice to sit outside to eat when it's not so hot out.

✨ The creator of this concept has truly mastered Middle Eastern cuisine, adding that unique Israeli touch that makes all the difference. 👏 A big bravo for such an achievement! 🍴 In my opinion, this is simply the best restaurant in Israel—refined, thoughtful, and brilliantly executed. 💡 And if the idea of opening another branch ever comes up, I’d be more than open for business.

Not a big fan of falafel, but that’s probably the best one in Tel Aviv. Simple yet delicious menu with all-times Israeli favorites- hummus, falafel, Israeli salad. Both plate and pita serving options are available. Lunch dishes are huge, so it’s ok to share it for two. Pretty busy during lunch hours

Atmosphere: No indoor or closed area in a season that is fairly hot and tables are unsanitized attracts flies and bad odder from full of waste in bins on tables and the dirty dishes in open area. Service: fast bur when you run that fast there will be mistakes , I paid for 1 shawarma in lafa and 1 falafel in pitta bread and another pitta shawarma sapratly yet because of the queue and fast pace ordered he forgot to make the falafel until I mentioned and showed him the ticket. Sometime a bit balance in speed and efficiency is what needed not just speed Service. Food: Shawarma was fantastic. Meat was flavour correctly and meat cooked just right. Falafel was seemed a bit burnt out on the surface but still delicious inside once you pass that burnt darker crisp. Salads and sauces were just right in both dishes .

The flafel is good, but not sure if worth the hype (and the relatively high price). They did put a lot inside the Pita. The service is pretty bad, they are bot nice, sometimes slow, not always listening.

Some of the best falafel I’ve ever had. Quick service. The schnitzel also got rave reviews!

Best possible falafel and humus: delicious, super tasty and always a good sign: lot of locals eat here. You can even feel the taste only from good it smells staying in the queue - yes, usually jt will be a small queue, but it moves fast and you even get some falafel samples on the way. Portions are huge, so I recommend getting the pita one ( which is smaller ) if you’re not really really hungry. I got falafel and humus - being hungry ( only meal of the day ) and I could finish only half. You order at the counter and everything is made in front of you, fresh. Humus will come after 1-2 minutes and you get a ringer to inform you it’s time to check the counter Can also get sauces and pickles salad free of charge from the right side. Definitely recommend, I had the most amazing arabic food ( falafel or humus ) so you must check it out.

The shawarma itself was good—the meat was well-seasoned and flavorful, which is definitely the highlight of this place. However, the salad options were disappointing—they didn’t taste fresh and were honestly not enjoyable. Another downside was the cleanliness of the place, which could use some improvement. It didn’t feel as tidy as I would expect from such a popular spot. Lastly, the prices were quite high for what you get, especially considering it’s more of a casual fast-food joint.

On the expensive side, so I'm not sure if it's worth the price. Overall was good but not amazing. I had a pitta with shawarma which was very good but at another time I had the Lafa (flat bread) which was just ok. Basic sitting and facilities (no napkins, only rolled paper) so don't expect much. There's a toilet and a sink to wash your hands.

Ah, the once-great shawarma joint, now a shrine to overpriced disappointment. Back in the day, it was worth the wait—real meat, real service. Now? A self-service dump where you pay premium prices to clean your own table—except “clean” means wiping off someone else’s crumbs because sanitizing is apparently a luxury. The meat? Cold and buried under so many spices it’s basically in witness protection. The fries? Cold, dry, and extra charge—because gouging customers is the new house special. Even starving, we couldn't finish it. Avoid this place unless you enjoy overpaying for regret on a stale pita.

I was very hesitant because of the poor score, but I had the lamb schwarma and it was very tasty. The chicken looked a little dry so went with the lamb. The lamb seemed grounded and not layered. I would go back

The single best felafel I've ever had anywhere In the world. My wife and I dream of returning and having more. We've been many times over the years and it's never once disappointed. Sometimes they even pass out fresh hot felafel balls to those waiting in line. Do yourself a favor and stop by once, twice, eight times and have the best felafel ever!

Overrated. Low quality. Cold. There's enough places with fries on the house, and with much better taste.

I'm my opinion the shawarma is way too expensive for the quality and amounts of food you get. I had both veal and turkey shawarma, both were way too dry.

Went again a few days ago in the evening. The hummus plate with falafel was good but not memorable. The schnitzel in a challah was a real pleasure. Fresh halla, meat cooked to perfection, very good sauce. (matbura) Still recommanded Was there a few time. Good falafel but not the best. Went on Friday, no falafel but schnitzel in a challah which has become a trendy dish in Tel Aviv. Very enjoyable but not really my thing for lunch. For me the star of the show was the soups. 4 or 5 options, we had green lentil and yellow lentil soups. Full of flavors, big portions, bread on the side. Perfect. Would go back just for that!

Spent almost two weeks in Israel and had a lot of meh shawarma. I needed a good meat shawarma before I left Israel and this place delivered. It was full of meat! My daughter loved her salad. My wife liked the falafel. Don't pass on the mashed potatoes balls. Went back a second night and had the schnitzel. Different staff, still cool kids club. Very nice. Didn't use the bathroom, so can't comment on that. Outside seating was comfortable with gentleman who kept it clean. A Tel Aviv must see.

Cheap fast quality quantity! I could not be more happier. I will definitely coma back. There is a queue but it goes fast. I ask for rice and beans no meat. It was so good! Vegan and vegetarian options and meat lovers as well. Outside And inside area.

This is a fantastic fast food place that offers cleanliness, freshness, affordability, and quick service. You won't have to wait long for your order. I highly recommend trying two dishes in particular: the Stitzel in challah bread and the falafel. Enjoy!

One of the few affordable restaurants that we have found here in Tel Aviv! We had a large chicken salad for two which filled both of us up. There are several many items that I wish to return for!

Great street side dining. We had the "meal" meat soup and the chicken salad. Portions are huge. The meat soup reminds me of homemade beef stew with beans. Beef was super tender..just falls apart easily and soup was well seasoned. The salad was uneventful...but the pickles made it better. A single dish could easily feed two. Hope to have opportunity to try other menu items next time when I visit.

It's your typical street joint selling middle Eastern food. I tried the meat soup with beans and the falafel - a deep fried potatoes crochet with generous serving of pickles and vegetables and bean paste. I find the meat soup tasty, like tomatoes based with beans and beef. The falafel was a little disappointing. Not that I have tried better before but I find the falafel a little overcooked and the taste is blend. Queue start building up at 730pm. I was there at 7pm and it was easy. Portion is generous, can easily shared by 2 person if you are a moderate eater. Tried it yourself.

The first meal after landing has to be something with pita. The falafels have a crunchy crust outside and are soft and vividly green inside. The combination of tahini, humus, and hot sauce is just right to the point. Wonderful. And the Sabich next door owned by the same shop is so enticing. Well, that’s the what the half-pita option for— GET BOTH! Wow. That just brought tastiness to the next-level! Even though I am half full after the half falafel pita, every bite of the sabich— Tahini, cheese, fried eggplant, hard boiled egg (seriously, how can hard boiled egg yolk taste so good), tomato salad, the pita bread, hummus, amba, sauces and spices that I don’t even know their names… Every ingredient is so different and flavorful on its own, and yet together they compose such a harmony. No wonder the place always has two lines and a crowd munching on the spot. I, for example, cannot resist the temptation of either counter, cannot think about letting the wonderful food cool down in my hands, and cannot worry about digging into the pita with a smeared face on a busy street. Very fast service. Totally recommended.

Such a unique sandwich that’s really a local delicacy. There are so many varieties of vegetables sauces and layers that make it so delicious to the last bite. It’s a must try in Tel Aviv and the staff is really friendly and helpful.

A Sabich Sandwich is not only really tasty, but also a great alternative to the many falafel sandwiches I had here in Tel Aviv. The shop has some sitting possibilities outside on the street, you get your sandwich fast, and the taste especially with the herbes and sauces is really nice! Definitely a recommendation if you’re in the area!

On the corner of a main street. Two separate lines so look to make sure you are in the correct place. Comes with an egg roll filled with potatoes. Very delicious. Make sure to ask for it all the way. The spice level is moderate so make sure all the toppings are added. It's a hot day so this falafel pita paired with canned coke. Overall great stop and go. Plenty of seating outside and near by. Five stars for having a different type of pita. I appreciate the effort.

Sabich Frishman is definitely among the most famous sandwich shops around Tel Aviv. If you translate the name it means something like man of freshness. I like it! Because all of their food was excellent. The falafel balls are really good, so are the deep fried potato fingers. But really outstanding is their sabich, especially the one with cheese and hummus. So of you pass by, don’t be afraid of the long queue - they are quite fast. But be careful with the peppers, these are very hot. But a lemonade might help here as well. Definitely a recommendation for a sandwich.

This sabich is street food at its best. The combination of crispy eggplant, fluffy pita bread, creamy hummus, tangy amba sauce, and fresh veggies is a perfect balance of flavors and textures. What sets this sabich apart is the quality of its ingredients. Every component is of the highest quality, and they work together to create a dish that is both satisfying and delicious.

Frischman is a pair of street food stalls serving pita sandwiches, and you can have your pick between falafel on the left or sabich on the right! Their sabich menu looked more intriguing to me, so I swung right and ordered the half sabich with hummus & cheese. The pita sandwich turned out to be a work of art. It was layered with numerous different sauces including hummus, tahini, amba, and chili crisp, along with different salads (cabbage, tomatoes, herbs, onions), and crumbled feta cheese. But of course, a sabich wouldn’t be sabich without fried eggplant and egg, and the colorful combination bursted out of the pita in a beautiful gestalt. The sandwich was built on a perfectly soft, chewy, fluffy pita bread, and you could help yourself at the counter to numerous different pickles to go with the sandwich too!

We were passing by and waited patiently in line … fast food The beef Shawarma was stuffed with chips (fries) / hummus and there was a station to get your own: coleslaw / pickles / hot peppers Very satisfying

Wordls best shawarma, lines sometimes long, but the workers are very good at controlling the audience!

Waited 15-20 minutes for them to make 1 sandwich. Didn’t mind that part, what I did mind was watching the entire time as the worker ate with his hands/licked his fingers while simultaneously handling people’s food

This is likely the best shawarma in Tel Aviv. You order first and pay then give your receipt to the guys behind the counter to make your meal. All seating is outside and make sure to ask for utensils because they often forget to put them in if you get something to go. Food quality is fantastic. Pro tip. Get drinks elsewhere such as the grocery a block away and then get food here and sit outside.

OMG! I've really missed a good shawarma! After 2 years abroad this is the first place in Tel Aviv I've walked into. It was pretty busy with a mix of locals and tourists. Was quite difficult to find a clean table, and had to wait for about 7 minutes before I could order. But guys, it was so worth it. The pita bread was divine. It was filled with a huge amount of shawarma. At one point I thought I wouldn't be able to eat the whole thing, but I ended up licking my fingers after the last bite. The staff was friendly. Prices are not cheap, but for the prime location on Dizingoff Street it may be understandable. Thanks guys for a great meal!

The food is excellent here, however it can get crowded, especially in the evening. The service is OK, but not great - they get you your food and that’s it. The hummus is to die for!

It was ok…. Great location but very limited seating outside. Young staff has some attitude problems but it seems like that’s how it is in TLV everywhere.

First dinner visiting Israel here and I kinda expected more. Some of the dishes were good and some were not. Main server was great, but the people that were bringing out the drinks and food gave off a vibe that we owe them something. I would suggest to close the hole in the middle of the table as we were running out of room and open it when people order the ice buckets.

Middle eastern and Turkish cuisine with the great atmosphere of the market. Great food for a cocktail bar, perhaps a bit missing if you are looking for a full meal if you don’t like fish - it will be hard to find a significant entrée. But otherwise the food was yummy, service was fast and the place was fun!

We didn’t have a reservation but they managed to find us a spot at the bar which was great as we got to get some great recommendations from Michael the barman. We had a local craft beer and tried a few of the dishes. The hummus and eggplant dips were amazing! The chicken schwerma was delicious. And finally the chocolate nemesis was to die for 🤤 Not the cheapest place but we had a great experience and would go back!

We have recently dined at Onza and had an absolutely fantastic experience. The staff were incredibly helpful and went out of their way to recommend dishes and provide great advice throughout the meal. The food itself was truly delicious, with standout dishes including the amazing eggplant starter and the fresh bread. I highly recommend trying the Seafood Hanina, it's definitely worth it. What's more, if you're an early bird, you can take advantage of the 30% off discount. All in all, my experience at Onza jn was superb and I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience with great food and exceptional service.

Both authentic food and exquisite service earn this little bar / restaurant a 5 star rating. In addition to the above, expect good vibes and joyful music, a perfect trendy place for brunch or going out with friends for beers & food. Will definitely comeback :)

Jaffa is a nice neighborhood and this restaurant is fitting perfectly the atmosphere around. Relaxed, chill and the food plus the service were perfect! Did not try the cocktail but that’s a good reason to come back then!

Very good, but I liked the previous menu when we visited a couple of years a go a lot better. It felt less authentic Turkish and more generic now.

Tourist Trap (.) Not in a good way. From the moment you walk in, as you are welcomed by branded t-shirts with Dr. Shakshuka's face, full wall frescoes of the proprietor seasoning (salt bae style) pans of shakshuka, and a life sized cut out of the "chef" himself, you know this is not a good idea. We sat and attempted to escape but the waiter said the shakshuka was only 49 shekels. Tempted by the price we stayed. We ordered 2 bottles of water to quench our thirst (sorry no tap) and our total for 2 ended up at 135 shekels. Service: We went at around 8:45 am, note Tel Aviv is a late city, so we were the only ones there. The wait staff was, what it was, nothing special. Food: I gave 3 stars for the food, which is nothing I couldn't make at home in 20 minutes.

First, the food here was decent and the room with the pans hanging from the ceiling is really cool. Unfortunately, those are the only nice things I can say about this place. The staff is just awful. No smiles whatsoever. Rude AF. They try to rip you off right away, bringing stuff you didn’t order so they can charge you for it. Never again.

Food was okay, not extraordinary, but satisfying. The waiter told us that the price for "business lunch" will be 87 NIS per person. We were fine with the price as it seemed to be a good value for so much food (we were served 15 items - salads, hummus, tahini, meat, shakshouka and lot of bread, quite good lemonade). Anyway 87 NIS * 2 persons gives 174 NIS, our waiter even wrote the price down for us. He seemed quite stressed the whole time, he was pressing us to make a quick decision - we thought it's because the place was busy (around a half of the tables in the outside area was taken). I also didn't like that the waiter was smoking a cigarette just a few meters away from our table. When it came to the payment time, the waiter didn't not came with a terminal for card payments, he insisted that it will be faster and more comfortable if he'll go inside alone and charge the card himself. But... He came with a receipt for 190 NIS. I have no idea for what that additional fee was taken as it hasn't been explained. Because of this we decided to not tip them, so this lunch was a bit cheaper than planned anyway.

Believe the hype. All of it. You little nerds complaining about service deserve to be slapped. Stop being stereotypical Hebrews complaining about price. You get what you pay for. You’re not here to be coddled you’re here to eat. The abrasive service is part of the experience. Order the small bites tasting menu you won’t be disappointed. Those who hate the food should stick to eating hamburgers and French fries.

The food was pretty good, service was pretty fast, and the atmosphere was pretty cool. It just felt a bit too touristy. Also, the communication about how to order isn't clear. They set all of these delicious looking salads on the table and the customer has to be clear on whether or not they want it. When you're hungry, you dive in. When the bill comes, you pay for it even though you didn't order it. I'd still highly recommend coming here regardless.

Went In December of 2019. Ordered shakshuka. Had no idea this was a famous restaurant because I just followed my friend’s recommendation to come. Only just found out after seeing it mentioned in a travel article. I remember the interior of it quite well and the streets just outside had some public art. I remember enjoying the plating and warmth of the tomato and egg. I can’t exactly recall what the pricing was but I assume reasonable otherwise I would’ve remembered if it was exorbitantly priced. I do remember it being very popular and full when I went (on a Thursday night).

Great vibe there, good was big enough to share. Meet Dr shakshuka and took a photo really nice guy. Swerma was enough for 2 ,free lemonade. Come with sides for about $30 US

This was my favorite food experience in Tel Aviv. Hands down the best hummus in this city. A way to tell if a spot is good is if there’s a queue. Since I’m a solo diner I went in and got seated very fast but with 3 other random gentlemen and it was quite fun because they didn’t speak English so I just got to observe them. How I wish I could understand their conversation. The owners are running around and you can see the hustle and bustle. One can tell this is a family run business. They take your order really fast you have the option of non spicy, spicy, or mixed hummus. I picked the mix with egg topping as it’s the most popular. It’s paired with bread and some sour pickle dressing and raw Onions. It’s clearly the Old school way of eating it by cleansing your palate with raw onions. The 3 men at my table were eating it raw and I was just thinking to myself maybe there’s mint offered afterwards? Nonetheless, the mixed hummus plate was Exceptional paired with my bread. Such humble and simple recipe yet so filling and delicious. The owners allowed me to even go in the back and video the process. I couldn’t have been more grateful to the food and the experience. This is an absolute must try in Tel Aviv

Best hummus in Tel Aviv - and absolute must visit if you are a tourist and a favorite of locals as well. I would recommend this place to everyone. A quick and delicious lunch at a great price too!

I've been coming here for decades! The taste and quality of the food didn't change. Fresh and tasty. To the point you cannot hold yourself from ordering seconds. The service is welcoming, friendly and extremely effective service, even at the busiest time. My favorite place among many that I've been to, across multiple countries and food types.

As a hummus lover, this place did not disappoint. In fact, it served a fresh, light hummus that left me wanting more. This place is pretty hyped and I'm happy to say that it lived up to my expectations. While it's famous for it's whole chickpea hummus, musabaha, the regular hummus was the winner to me. But because both were tasty, I think we are all winners as long as we go here to eat. Because I just couldn't get enough, I also tried one of their other locations, and I'm happy to say that they were just as tasty and served eggs too, something that wasn't on offer in this place, which is the original location. Sidenote: A friend's mom used to eat here when she was a kid in Israel and was surprised it still existed.

The Best Hummus in Town! No wait at all and got a table immediately. Try their regular and their spicy hummus! Service is really quick and their quantity is good. For two people, get one and share and you should be set! Very filling and healthy!

Delicious hummus! Very simple to order, you only have 3 options to choose from. Hummus is really fresh, bread is also good. Try scooping the hummus with the onion they give you, I thought I wasn't going to like it but it was a pleasant surprise. See more of my pictures on Instagram: lizzario_photoart

One of the best Hummus spots in the world hands down! I totally recommend the Massabacha dish with the spicy-lemony-garlicy sauce that comes along with it. Another very popular choice is the Meshulash dish that contains regular Hummus, Massabacha and Fuul (Fava beans) all in one dish. The only improvement that I can recommend is the pita's.. they should be warm and fresher.

This is not a good place to eat meat. I had a ribeye, medium rare. And it was a challenge to chew it, and I even cut it. A good place to try brain nuggets. The tartar was just bad. The taste of vinegar instead of beef. That would be a reasonable place for 1/3 of the price. But for restaurant prices you could go just anywhere else. Another thing is the atmosphere. This is literally a table on the market without AC.

I used to love this place, but unfortunately, the standards have slipped. The stuffed onion was quite dry and really could have used a sauce to bring it together. The Arais had a surprisingly small amount of meat inside—definitely not what it used to be. On a positive note, the service was excellent—very warm and welcoming.

Looks like a value spot, but prices are ridiculous. I ordered two small lamb chops and it was NIS 118(!). Quality was fine, nothing special. With so many better meat places in Tel Aviv, this isn’t worth the time or money. Service also wasn’t as friendly or helpful as you’d expect in Tel Aviv.

Great place. Delicious salads, I tend to avoid ordering steaks, they are expensive like everywhere in Israel and do not reach the level of meat in the US. All other dishes are interesting and delicious.

Keep it simple, as a concept, but very well executed. Probably the best meat restaurant experience I have ever visited. Side dishes and desserts are delicious such as the starters and the main portions. Service is extremely dedicated and willing to guide you from the moment you enter and until you leave. Our waitress was very attentive and gave us great recommendations. Recommended!

What a fantastic place! We came here for lunch on Friday and had such a great time. Come early to secure your seat as this place can get crowded. All the meat are delicious but the "Raeise" is the best thing there. It's a pita backed with meet in it... It's amazing.

Boutique butchery shop turned restaurant, following the trend of opening restaurants at the markets. Run by serious meat freaks who offer best and local quality of beef for pretty steep prices. I have ate it all to recommend the pita dishes over your typical steaks. You probably will do great with everything on the menu, but arais and shawarma really stand out. Avoid on Fridays, unless sweating in queue at the market is your thing

Ouzeria is a fantastic spot for a memorable meal. The food was absolutely delicious, earning a full five stars — every dish was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. The service was also very good; the staff was attentive and friendly, although there were moments when we had to wait a little longer than expected. The atmosphere was vibrant and pleasant, making it a great place to relax and enjoy the evening. Overall, a wonderful experience and definitely a place I would recommend to others!

Lots of potential in this place. Service was friendly and relaxed, tables outside on a sunny day where lovely. The cauliflower, aubergine carpaccio, veal sweetbread and chicken souvlaki were good. Portions are quite small for the price. The beetroot ravioli was quite bland and disappointing. Overall good but just expensive for the portion sizes.

Had a private dinner at Ouzeria next door. Everything was absolutely perfect!! The More Foods vegan dish was the favorite of the night, a plant based protein made from pumpkin and sunflower seeds! Very cool!

I came across Ouzeria from Bloomberg's list of best restaurants in Tel Aviv. We were not disappointed. The atmosphere is hip and laid back just like its surrounding neighborhood. The food is here eclectic and playful and drew a large influence from Spain. Most dishes are like tapas and meant to be shared, while some dishes had a Israeli spin to it. I took off one star because no single dish really blew us away but we found the entire experience to be very pleasant. The place is not cheap but if you can manage to get here when they open and avoid the typical long wait, Ouzeria is definitely worth a try!

Cool Greek themed restaurant in the Levinsky market area. The area is liveliest on a Friday before Shabbat. The food was delicious, portions were a little small, but overall very fulfilling.

I really really love this restaurant and have been coming every year when i visit tel aviv. its simple yet beautiful & has such amazing energy flowing. went last night for dinner and had an obvious incredible time. had fried calamari & rump steak. the calamaris are so tiny and packed with flavor its deliciousss! i always get the rump steak cause its just top notch. anyways 5 star experience always! thanks to my wonderful waiter eyal. i definitely recommend going here!!! you wont regret it

The pace is hopping with a lunchtime crowd clearly enjoying their respective meals. There want an peeing on the menu I didn't want to try. The next time I go I'd like to try their vegan offering. Go and enjoy.

So we ordered a lot of dishes, the zucchini starter was my favorite starter, though the eggplant one was pretty good too. The pasta was amazing, and the flank steak was delicious but the potatoes had way too much pepper. Overall the food was very good, very pricey but that was expected. At first it took a long time for them to come take our order. Overall great restaurant!

HaBasta (“market stall” in Arabic) is a laid-back, creative Middle Eastern–Mediterranean restaurant tucked beside Shuk HaCarmel. We enjoyed every dish — the okra with fried grape leaves, the beet salad, and the roasted tomato ravioli were all excellent. The service was cordial, and watching the “who’s who” of Tel Aviv stroll in added to the fun, vibrant atmosphere. A great evening and highly recommended!

Amazing food and some of the best service that I have ever encountered at a restaurant! We had the sea bass kabobs - makes me swoon just thinking about them - and salad and ravioli. All served quickly and with a smile. Very pleased!

This is a cozy, unpretentious restaurant situated on a side street a stone's throw away from the bustling Carmel Market. The restaurant offers a wide range of dishes, all of which are based on fresh, locally sourced products, with a strong emphasis on seafood. The crab bourekas that we tried was exceptional, whilst the rest of the dishes were very good. Prices are relatively high, but the place nonetheless offers good value for money.

I‘ve been to this restaurant many times and each time it is different and in a good way. The menu keeps changing according to the seasonal ingredients and is written each day by hand. All of the dishes are really special and something you probably won’t find in any other restaurant. Yes prices are high but welcome to Tel Aviv - this is the average price for a fine dining experience and in this place you get the value for money. Always very fresh and high quality food, a fantastic time to spend in the heart of the market. If you want good food with an Israeli twist - this is it.

There’s no such thing as a perfect mea- oh wait. This was absolute perfection. Everything served is fresh from the sea or the market next door, the menu changes according to season and weather, and every ingredient is allowed to truly shine. Some dishes are staples so are usually available, like the wonderful grilled calamari or the salted honey tart (which was indescribably good); others come on and off the menu, like the notorious crab bourekas which we didn’t get to try (sigh). Service was excellent and the alcohol menu is extensive and exciting. I would highly recommend to book a table in advance as the place is usually busy, and it’s definitely not the cheapest meal you’ll have in Tel Aviv. But I guarantee it’s worth it!

The atmosphere from the market is really nice and the food was excellent, although the portions were rather small for the price. The cocktails were pretty bland, I suggest you order wine from their large selection instead. Overall a great experience, but I'd expect lower prices for a place located in the market. This is not a fine dining restaurant as their name suggests.

Awesome food.... Probably the best hummus in Israel... The staff is super friendly and always smiling. Would definitely go back and recommend this place!!

The best hummus in Tel Aviv!!! tasty. clean. excellent service. You won't go out hungry. In the end, you will also be treated by s small cup of coffee. My favorite hummus.

Excellent hummus but consistently unhappy and grumpy service. I literally got yelled at. I ordered the take away hummus with meat toppings for extra money, and the takeaway hardly had any meat while the dining-in plate next to mine was piled high with meat. Makes me think they don’t care about all customers equally. Given prices and service - despite the tasty food - I’m not rushing back anytime soon.

What an amazing hummus! The vibe of the place is classic good hummus, packed with people waiting to get sitted, professional waiters running around between tables, and really but really great hummus. Hot chickpeas on top tasted like haven, the side olives are great and the pickel? OMG it's delicious, I believe it's home made. Service is quick and efficient, very friendly. This is a very well deserved competitor to the title "Best Hummus In Tel Aviv". Very reasonable price and a free refile to your hummus plate. If you are in the area - must visit.

Love it! This place is making Hummus like no one else, and I'm eating here and a fan for almost 2 decades!

Amazing hummus! The staff was super friendly. We got the hummus with meat and it was one of the best meals I had in Tel Aviv. The waitress was super nice and spoke English very well so there were no problems communicating.

Pretty good, I had better. The mushroom hummus wasn't great at all, and almost had a foul taste. I would come again for the regular Hummus but only if I'm in the area.

Had the lamb and veal mix kebab. Meat was good quality, fresh, and well seasoned. Although a little bit too salty for my taste. The pita itself was very average. Solid choice but a little over rated.

I had the spicy sausage. All the meat is chargrilled on a bbq. There’s always a bunch of people waiting outside & inside, in line. Worth the wait. Very special ingredients. Note the blue tent on the outside because there is no signage outside. If it weren’t for the people waiting outside I would’ve missed it.

The best kebab I ever had. You can taste the charcoal on the meat which is very unique and tastes great. There's always a queue of 99% local people but you don't wait very long. Kebab is not huge so it's good for on the go lunch. It's only take away but you can sit on a bench by the street there's a lot in this area

50 Israeli Shekels for a pita filled with Kosher marinated Beef / Lamb cooked over a hot bbq with all the fixings … Satisfying taste that’s hard to duplicate These dudes know what they’re doing!

This place is apparently famous for the shawarma, and our local friends took me here. No doubt it tasted very good, and it's a place you must visit if you like fast food. The quality of meat and the rest of the food felt good. I do recommend coming here for sure, and next time im in Tel Aviv, I'll be visiting here again.

The meat is wonderful and amazing! The wait is TERRIBLE and there is no place to sit down and enjoy that meal. I waited 30 minutes to get my order and then sat down on a street bench. Doesn't worth the agony of the order process in my opinion, though some would disagree.

We went to Jasminos l as a final lunch before leaving Tel Aviv. We wanted something nice to celebrate our awesome time. Jasmine was highly recommended by Mark wiens. We arrived and had our order taken . We immediately ordered beverages (just water). We ordered the lamb sweetbread and lamb kebab . I watched them both being prepared and while they did a great job preparing , I was underwhelmed. Everything was there but it was missing something - namely, proper meat portions. Everything tasted great but the toppings overpowered the meat 3/5 The food here has perfectly cooked ingredients but just felt it failed to meet expectations. I really wish I had time to return to give them a second opportunity

The best Shawarma in town and the stuff that dreams are made of! 😋 the Veal-Lamb Shawarma is as juicy and as tasty as it gets, and definitely worth waiting in line for. It's a small place and they take the time to assemble each Pita so you'll get a perfect bite each time. ---> The things you must know: * It gets busy! Especially on Fridays, so come early (they start serving at 11AM) or youll need to wait 20-30 minutes in line * They serve Pork Shawama on Thursday nights, it's good too, but if you're a first timer try the Beef-Lamb one. If you do take the Prok, ask for Tahini instead of Yogurt * They serve all sorts of meat Skewers in the evening that are grilled over charcoal. It's not what you would normally come in for, but a great alternative for people who don't like lamb * It is going to take some time from when you order and pay? Until it's your turn to get the Pita, so make sure that you grab a drink. They have some fun and tasty wine or Arak based drinks

Just off the Carmel Market … the pita was stuffed with meat and your choice of tomatoes / onions / green sauce or (hot pepper sauce) / tehina sauce … meat was well done The portion was more than adequate / the side of fries was not (frozen presumably) Lots of Hot peppers / pickles were available

By far the best shawarma I’ve ever had! Before the main dish, you’ll get a few “starter plates”. Don’t rush! Enjoy them. Really. Especially the chickpea kind of salad was outstanding. Amazing. No words. After my little starter the pita with shawarma came, and what can I say. Absolutely sensational. Tasty meat, nice spice, amazing bread. A really really great experience. On top staff is friendly and prices are, with 52 for a pita including the starter plates, really fair! Summing up: sensational experience!!!

Went on a local colleague’s recommendation. This shawarma is the single best thing I ate during my week+ trip to Israel. It was so good that I had it for lunch and went back again for dinner on the SAME day. A perfectly balanced pita, layered with juicy, smoky, lamb and veal shawarma, salad and sauces, made with care and loaded to the point of almost collapsing under its stuffing. Can’t recommend it enough.

Delicious shawarma unlike any other in Tel Aviv. The lamb is exceptional. The service is friendly, and the location is centrally located and close to the beach. A bit pricey, but the quality is worth it.

Best shawarma pita i have EVER HAD! The way they layered it, the way the shawarma meat was dripping on the spit, and the way even the fries were delicious made it an instant favorite for me! Just outside the Tel Aviv Shuk, its a must go place that i would recommend to anyone hungry!

A rather unique shawarma place, not like the others in the area (most of which are tourist traps). This is more like high-concept shawarma. You may not like it, but it's trying to do something else. The meat flakes themselves are thinner, more seasoned and crispier. They have a tzatziki sauce option, which is refreshing. Each pita is lovingly made with care, unlike most shawarma places. Even the price is rather fair, if you don't get tempted to buy a drink. 45 NIS for a pita is slightly above market, but I think it's worth it.

Overall had a great time here. We sat at the bar so they gave us free shots which was fun. We paid 220 per person for 3 drinks, 3 starters, 2 mains, and 2 desserts. The food was great though I wouldn’t recommend the acorn starter is was kind of plain. The fried cheese was amazing!

We went for a family dinner over Friday 4 ppl, we took the set menu for ₪200 per person and it was sooo vfm! The food was great and delicious, we had so many options and a big selection for everyone. The staff were very friendly and kind.

This was my last meal in Tel Aviv. We were a party of 9 without a reservation, but we waited and they accommodated. Oh my goodness! Night Kitchen was a unique experience, the food was spectacular. The staff were super patient with all of us in explaining how they operate, it took some time for our group to understand how the menu work. Basically, they ask questions about our likes and dislikes and bring us continious yummy food. My goodness we all left satisfied and amazed. In addition, the table next to us were buying shots for us to celebrate a birthday. Night Kitchen is MUST if you are in Tel Aviv! I am sure you will enjoy.

Fantastic vibe! We went to the backyard tables, the service was one of the best in the country, so joyful and professional! I can say that the concept is super interesting and you can see the beautiful creativity from the chef in every dish! Highly recommend it!

Went with friend visiting Israel. Great restaurant to meet up with friends and still be able to talk over a good meal. Food was good. Drink options were good, even had nice non-alcoholic cocktails. Pictures from March 2022.

Absolutely 5 stars. Service is cute, cocktails are superb (Arak & thyme —> don’t miss it). Food is delicious. Be careful not to order too much. I’d say around 5 things for 2 people is sufficient. The happy hours - from 6-7 Pm - is a great option. We left full and spend ~40eur per person.

Probably the best food I have ever had. The food is simply amazing. We took three starters, two main dishes, and one dessert + lollipops. They were all very very good. The service was friendly and relaxed, and atmosphere is great. The music could be less loud, otherwise it's almost perfect.

The food menu is very interesting and apparently based on local products from the Galilee region. The dishes are not generous, and in my opinion, could be more generous. The restaurant doesn't have good acoustics and is somewhat noisy, which in a restaurant of this category and these prices could be more appropriate. The experience was very good, but some details could be improved.

Superb. The food was fantastic, original, rich in flavors and textured yet perfectly balanced, the presentation of it was wonderful. The service was welcoming and knowledgeable, we recieved great recommendations. Even the dessert was super accurate, extremely tasty mango slices on lightly sweetened yugort cream, looked so simple but was so tasty and accurate. I hope they'll be able to keep that high level.

The host would not let my family sit inside with my kids and only offered seating where people smoked outside even with inside non-smoking tables available. My kids are young and are not ok to sit by smokers. The service and hostesses were very disappointing. They only wanted kids outside in the smoking area. I do not recommend this restaurant.

This is the BEST restaurant in Israel! Amazing space, great vibe and mind blowing food! If there was a Nobel prize for service the restaurant manager Sagi would win it hands down! We ate here 3 times in a week and it was divine each time! 11/10

Extremely great every single time! Amazing and unique seasonal dishes. Such fresh ingredients and delicious food. There is a beautiful outdoor garden area as well as a very chic indoor area. Great atmosphere. A total must.

Great place in the heart of business area. A bit upscale, but with Israeli touch. All times favorites from local cuisine, many vegetarian options. The service is a bit slow, but considering that I was during the lunch hour, the waiting time was reasonable. Reservations are required. Terrace is beautiful, especially in the summer. Highly recommended for a business lunch or even the first date

Amazing. I have to return to this place just so I can try dishes I haven't tried yet. We only had starters which I think is a great idea because you get to taste many delicious things. Nothing was simple and known, so you really get to try new flavors. The waitresses were nice, food arrived quickly and cocktails were great.

Nice food, bigger portions than you'd expect and I don't know what they do to the rice but its delicious. Good service and really good spot for people watching.

Lovely large terrace with shade provided by two huge trees. We loved getting lunch here mostly because of how great this terrace was. The food and drinks are good and not too expensive. I got an amber ale which was delicious. We also shared the chicken filo pastry, which was sweeter than i expected.

Visit: 01/01/2023 2 people for diner PROS: - good assort of food; - the ambiance is very familiar and cozy - they separate non-smokers from smokers, which helps a lot. The the fact that the snorkels are very close to the main door makes it not very workable; - the gnocchi with pumpkin sauce I ordered was delicious, as was the dried fruits stuffed with lamb, that my friend had. The food was really good; - the prices were on Tel Aviv average for this kind of restaurant CONS: - the waitress seemed not to be very happy. I felt her a little bit rude. Maybe some smile and kindness could made the experience a 5 star one

Nice place to eat and have a drink. Is placed in a beautiful area, very quiet and has a beautiful terrace. The food was local nice food well done and the drinks were ok. The service was profesional, friendly and fast. Nice place to try.

This is my go to in Neve Tzedek. It's a great spot to absorb the special neighborhood. There is a huge tree with lovely shade. Don't forget to taste the pumpkin kuba soup. I keep coming back for more ❤️

Delicious Israeli restaurant within walking distance from the hotels by the ocean in Tel Aviv.

Cosy place in nice neighborhood with rather average food. The fish (sea bream) and tabouleh were very tasty, however the majadra and the soup was mediocre. The soup of they day was sweet potato soup and it was very waterish pretty much without any spices. The majadra was with the bulgur not with the rice which made the dish rather bland. I also didn't feel too much spices.

The best food in Tel Aviv! The chef in the picture was the most welcoming and friendly person even though he was serving non-stop for more customers at the same time. The food was fresh and tremendously delicious! I would come back again and again!

Overall a good experience. We had a late lunch here after 2pm. We were served fairly quickly. Both of us had the classic and meat Shaksukas. They turned out very nice, the sauce was spicy but not overly hot the accompanied chillies sauce was handy to give it more of a kick. The salads were complimentary and nice. For two of us the bill came to about 120 NIS.

The food feels homemade and delicious. I'm so glad to have encountered this amazing restaurant. I have received the best service at a restaurant in this place. The waitresses were absolutely wonderful. Kind, helpful and attentive. This is the first restaurant in Israel that has provided such a great food, quality and service experience. Absolutely recommend and would definitely come back.

Asked for a recommendation from a local off the street on my first day in Tel Aviv. He recommended this place. It is easy to see why they're so well rated. This Yemeni place has awesome food and equally excellent service. The waiter was kind and friendly and explained the menu. When he found out I was visiting Israel for the first time, he came by to serve aome shots of arak on the house. A must visit.

What a great experience! The food was great the atmosphere and the service is very welcoming! Yaman food and more! Meat, diary and vegetarian options . Definitely coming back

Had the small triple plate which allows choice between a small portion of a main dish, a couple of salad options and a small hummus. I ordered the beans with meat and it was delicious - melt in your mouth and falling apart in well spiced sauce. The salad was very fresh and hummus was above average. The price was reasonable at 64 shekels including a soda water.

Excellent Yemini food with friendly service. The slow cooked beef soup is the thing to get. There are plenty of gluten-free options on the menu.

Great small place for an unbelievable Hummus. Always fresh, one pot of Hummus a day, once it finished the place is closed usually by 14:00. Hummus, tahini, fava beans, served with boiled egg, parsley, olive oil, freah Israeli salad, and fresh pita bread. Temple for Hummus lovers

The Hummus taste well. The portion is medium and not really side pickles beside few olives.

This is another Bahadunas location, the best I have been to so far. The hummus was excellent and the chopped salad was one of the best I ever had.

Super tasty hummus/ful. Expect long lines at lunch time. Worth the wait. Limited seating, slightly chaotic but you’re not here for the service you’re here for the hummus.

Best Humus in town for sure!

Great hummus at a fair price. An institute in the area.

One of the best hummus places in Israel. Staff is iconic, hard-as-nails old school Israelis. The regular clientele, too. So don't feel alarmed if you are shown impatience. It is just a view of Israel in the periphery, or as it was in the 80s.. Just get the hummus (I recommend the mesabakha) and go enjoy it somewhere you feel comfortable.

Vegan delicious restaurant, the beyond meat burger is just amazing. Love the variaty of different dishes, and the vegan versions the place serves for all kinds of different "meat" dishes - especially the nuggets and the cheeseburger with the "egg" on top is really good and unique! Love the presentation. Really recommend to check it out! Gluten free option are available also :)

Wow this place is a real gem for vegans but also for normal eaters like me. This cheeseburger was just as good as any meat cheeseburger and the creamy cheese was to die for. Really, really good quality and very possible substitute for real cheeseburgers. I can almost imagine myself becoming vegan if the alternatives are that good. Also, try their sangria, it's great. And next time, I will definitely have to try their desserts.

Wow, as of today, I do not know a vegan restaurant with such a variety of dishes very similar to non-vegan dishes. Hamburger, cheeseburger, shawarma, chicken bites, egg, sausage, cheesecake and more. These are not healthy dishes, feel corrupt. Very tasty. The place is very small, noisy, not cheap. Excellent experience, delicious and good service.

Great vegan food. One of the few places where to can get good vegan dishes in fair prices. Also the staff is friendy.

One of the best vegan places in Tel Aviv! Great quality of food! The seasoning is impressive and the veggies are fresh. I would highly recommend their beyond meat burger, hot dogs and mushroom burger. You should definitely check it out if you happen to be in the area. I'll come back there for sure.

Food is amazing. My favorite is Sloppy Joe made of beans and shimeji mushrooms. Jalapeño topping is highly recommended. Dip and chips is good as well. Staff is very friendly, but service is somewhat slow. Waiters forget things and mix things up, but overall it’s a very decent place with amazing vegan junk food.

Vegan burger place in the heart of Tel Aviv. Burgers are very good. Also tried their signature vegan sunny side up egg, which was good.

We found this place by total accident seeing vegan friendly sticker. The food was just incredible. Best pita we had in tel aviv!! So close to Carmel market and the atmosphere was so authentic. Highly recommend

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely amazing! Panda Pita takes Israeli street food to the next level — bold flavors, super fresh ingredients, and creative fusion combinations. The steamed pita is soft and perfect, and the staff are friendly and fun. A must-try gem in Carmel Market!

Tasty! Their "Eggplant Filet" sandwich is Sabich! It's different than the classic Sabich that you'll try at a Sabich-only place, but everything is fresh and delicious. Service 👍

Great energy and taste, they are loud and fun creating they vibe in the heart of shuk. Few vegan 🌱 options and small cozy area to sit. Prepare to wait in line as guys are quite popular.

This place is amazing. Was in the market looking for a place to eat and now I’m really happy. Amazing flavors and textures. Really friendly staff and clean spot. Outdoor seating just out of the market. Can’t wait to go back. Best in the area. Thank you

Great service, delicious food. We loved the sloppy Joe and the chicken. They gave us testing without asking. Will definitely come back

Great food great staff, we will come here again. Dont let the line scare it moves super fast. The pita itself is amazing, the food tastes fresh and unique, we loved the sloppy and we liked the fish. Great value for money

Used to be my favorite when I used to live in Israel. Now I don’t live here more than 10 years and every time I come for visit I must have this hummus. Same good as it was 20-30 years ago. Staff very friendly and very quick service. 5 starts easy

Authentic hummus and Falafel , reasonably priced .. and good service It’s good old restaurant looks like a traditional one If you looking for a Vegan option in Jaffa port area this is one of the best restaurants

This place is one of the oldest hummus restaurants in Tel-Aviv. The hummus is good, well above the average taste you'll find in most other hummus places in the city, with satisfying portion sizes. You're definitely getting your money's worth here, though finding parking nearby, especially during the night is almost impossible, with public transportation being a better method of visiting this place. Ashkara is open till the little hours of the night, so it offers a good place to have a meal if you're a night owl. Be advised, though, that the place is Kosher, and therefore not open on Fridays and Saturdays.

Definitely the best hummus in town. The service is super friendly and you can taste the freshness of the ingredients. I will definitely recommend for all the hummus loveres to try out this place.

Love it, authentic hummus, just good at any and every time

The hummus was good but not outstanding, the restaurant itself was not really cozy

Great hummus for 15$.hard to find parking in the area. Good service and nice place to sit and go.

Very good falafel at a reasonable-for-TLV price. May 2002 ₪17 for a full falafel + ₪8 for a can of Zero cola. ₪25 and you’re all set. The place is reasonably clean and the turnover is high, so chances are you’ll get a freshly-made one. The falafel itself is made with crushed coriander seeds, a flavor I thoroughly enjoy. The pita bread is thick and holds everything in. Salads are fresh. The service is friendly. No bathrooms. But there’s a sink to wish your hands. All in all, this falafel does the trick.

Eating a falafel here after many years not being in Israel gave me a nostalgic feeling although this was the first time eating here, i felt emotional and the taste of this delicious falafel helped get my emotions stronger. Toda raba

Probably the best falafel and hummus I've ever eaten. 5* Top quality when ordering through Wolt.

5 Stars Treatment! Great Falafel served by extremely friendly people! The pita is big, fresh and stuffed with Green Falafel balls. The place is clean, and enjoyable to sit at while enjoying your meal.

Just simple excellent falafel 32 SHEKELS FOR FALAFEL AND A DRINK

One of the best falsfel places in the area. I recommand having the plate dish - hummus, falafel, fresh veggies, pita bread and don't forget fried aubergines. Staff is really nice. I just love this place, highly recommended.

The greenest Falafel you'll find in Tel Aviv

🌊 Al Ajouz & Al Bahr Restaurant – Jaffa 🌅 A beautiful restaurant located right on the Jaffa seaside, offering a stunning view that captures the spirit and charm of the city. The meal begins with an amazing free appetizer spread featuring more than 20 kinds of fresh salads, delicious falafel, and creamy hummus. Then comes whatever your heart desires ,from freshly grilled fish to shawarma and other authentic Middle Eastern dishes, each bursting with flavor and tradition. A place that combines beauty, authenticity, and unforgettable taste. Truly a wonderful experience worth repeating! 🌟

Visit: December/2022 2 people for diner The amount (and quality!) of food makes this place unique. PROS: - I’ve seen so much starters before. 20 in total. And they were all on high quality standard; - my friend ordered a lamb grill that was very tasteful; - the lemonade jar is included and also delicious; - the price is totally affordable and worth; - desserts also included CONS: Very noisy

Great food indeed! So fresh and yummy. They provide a variety of salads with any meal as well as fresh lemonade. I got the grilled Salam on and it was great. We also got the clams and calamari in a creamy yummy sauce that was also good. Staff are super quick and efficient. Great view of the Mediterranean Sea 🌊

I ate here on a Monday night based on a recommendation from local colleagues. What an amazing experience we had. The restaurant wasn't particularly busy which meant getting a table was no problem, but given the size of it, I can imagine it would get pretty busy. We got a seat outdoors overlooking the marina as it was a nice barmy evening. As soon as we sat down, we were surprised by a mass delivery of salads, bread and lemonade. Turns out, these are all complimentary if each diner also purchases a main meal. With that said, the price of the salads is very reasonable if that's all you feel like eating. They also replenish the bread and salads as they run out, so it's very easy to fill up before the mains arrive. The mains themselves are delicious and there is a good selection of both meat, veg and seafood options. Personally I went with prawns in cream sauce, which was delicious. My colleague went for the tandoori whole grouper, which easily was enough for all three of us, so he encouraged us all to try some too, and it was spectacular. One thing to note is they don't serve alcohol, but to be fair, the lemonade they do serve is so delicious and refreshing that the lack of beer didn't really matter. All in all, a great dining experience and I would gladly visit again next time I'm in Israel.

It’s been a few years since my last visit and the place grew a lot and is now a huge restaurant right on the port of Jaffa. The design is very impressive too. We arrived just before 1pm and had plenty of room, despite the fact that we did not have an order. Right after we sat down, the staff brought a large variety of salads and bread, and it was delicious. Those was renewed every time we finished something. We each took one main course and those also arrived very fast. I ordered fish and was very pleased the other group party ordered meat lamb chops and record steak and steak fillet and those were just OK. Actually we also got a small syrupy dessert on the house which was nice but very sweet. I have to point out that the place is very clean including the restrooms. Overall we had a nice lunch.

Food is decent, not amazing - great variety of salads etc that come with the table. However, it was a rather chaotic experience - staff rushing by with plates of food, people everywhere. Saw a waiter drop a bread portion on the floor, and then he picked it up and put it straight back into the service bowl - not acceptable.

The salads were good and plentiful and the waitstaff attentively refreshed them along with the bread maybe five times. I was with a large group and those who ordered fish were mostly happy. Those who ordered meat were largely disappointed. My lamb chops were small and leathery, I would not order them again. There was also some disappointment with the kebabs.

Nice authentic Israeli bakery with a variety of specialities of local goods. Good quality! I recommend!

The food is tasty, but fυcκιπg expensive. I had to sell a kidney to pay the bill. Will never step in2 this place again. We'll, it's not a mischellin restaurant it's just a random bakery that does not even serve a drinkable espresso. Sorry guys, but either get more efficient to reduce your mega prices or temporary close and go to hunt your millions somewhere else ❤️

nice working staff , tasty food , not way too pricey, the tables at the back where you can seat and eat are quite dirty. each toast costed 25₪ (ILS/Shekels). (not sure about the drinks , one of us got them after we payed for the toasts).

The cheese Sambusak straight from the oven was great…I ate it so fast didn’t have time to take a picture

This place is a stop I make every time I'm in Tel Aviv. Open 24/7 and constantly pulling freshly baked goods out of their ovens, even just thinking about it makes me want to salivate. In the back, they have a seating area if you don't want to just grab your food and go.

One of the best bakeries around. My only problem was the fact that there was no normal queue and that service was granted without masks and without enforcing masks from other customers! It is, however, possible to circumvent that by order from the front, whilst outdoors.

Always a great place to grab a pastry bite at night.. their Sambusak Pizza was always my favorite.

TL;DR nice but not cheap Got there for a lunch got kabab and hearts with french fries and cabbage salad. The meat was good, the fries were hot but oily and nice. Overall the dish wasn't very large and it cost around 80 nis which isn't cheap and the line was long. There are a few tables inside and a few on the sidewalk. No parking on the street try the small mall across the street.

I recently ate here and ordered a shawarma in pita. To start with, the price is extremely high—52 shekels for just the sandwich, without a drink. Definitely overpriced for what you get. The waiting time was another issue. The line moved slowly, and it took quite a while before I finally got my food. If you’re in a rush, this might not be the best option. As for the food itself, the portion was filling, but the lamb shawarma was overloaded with seasoning and oil. It was also way too salty, to the point where it overpowered the taste of the meat. Some people might enjoy strong flavors, but for me, it was excessive. Another downside was the cleanliness. The place wasn’t particularly well-maintained, which didn’t add to the dining experience. It wasn’t terrible, but definitely not the level of hygiene I’d expect for the price they charge. I’ve eaten here a few times before, so none of this really surprised me. The only reason I came back was the lack of other options in the area. If there were better alternatives nearby, I probably wouldn’t return. Unless you're desperate for shawarma and don’t mind the price, the wait, and the salt overload, I’d recommend looking elsewhere.

VEGETARIANS dont go there. I found a schnitzel inside a bag of falafel they gave me. After a while I came back just to see the picture im posting now. They mix the chips with whatever comes from the frier. Also its basically a war to order and get your food. If you come screaming, they might listen...

The turkey meat portion in pita bread is big enough. The vegetables are just too sour for me. Overall is delicious. Has a big crowd during their lunch hour though.

Ok veal shawarma, not great. Not that pleasant service. Crowded and unpleasant atmosphere. Wobbling tables.

One of the best shawarma (maybe even THE best) i tasted in Israel. Perfect meat - not too fat and not dry. Also a lot of tasty, fresh salads. If you work somewhere here - you must to visit that place.

Clean, polite and YUMMY! I order the classic lamb and turkey shawarma, but they have liver and other skewers . Great salads, refills. Seating inside and outside in shade. A 5 minute walk from Azriely , Midtown and Hashalom train stations. Worth every shekel! and I really like that they kept social distancing during COVID.

Great hummus and pita. (What we tried,but the rest of the food also looked good)

Food is great and location is good too. Selection is quite limited but they have pretty much what you would want when you go for a typical Israeli meal (Hummus). Last time I went the service was awful, but this time it's improved! Prices are ok...would go back soon

Hummus was bad Texture flavor pita bread dry etc…

A very nice place, the Falafel doesn’t contain any bread and is good for diabetes. The price is a little high, but the food is very tasty

Great selection of fresh food. Good hummus. Good Service. Bad location. We live nearby and occasionally visit this place. It's always clean, the owner is very nice, the prices are reasonable and they have great selection of hummus, vegetables and sides. Also, unlike many hummus places, this place is open on Saturdays. The only problem we have with this place is that it's right on the very busy street, where lots of people with scooters and bikes pass by, cars beeping and there is really nothing to see in the area.

The hummus in here is fine, it is not uniquely good but it does taste well enough. Besides that there are two reasons for my rating, the first one is that this place is open 24/7 which has served me well over the years. The second reason is that the staff in here is good and had always been nice to me.

It was delicious. The portion was great (not too big not too small). Service was great. Surprisingly enough he accepted Colu (paying method) and it was easy and fast. Prices are slightly higher than I expected for a plate of hummus. Nevertheless, it was delicious.

Small restaurant but busy always , i tired beef plate shawarma, not that bad. They are serving quickly Dining available inside and outside Plate Shawarma including salad, falafel and hummus Salad can be chosen, they have tomato, cucumber, cabbage, pickles, etc

Even at 1 AM the salads were fully stacked and staff was friendly and served us quickly. The meat portion size was very generous and tasty. The staff even offered to replace a spicy shawarma (katzutz salad had some peppers in it) for a person that doesn't eat spicy stuff for free - which is a very generous gesture.

As a Texan in Tel Aviv what authority do I have to talk about shawarma? I suppose maybe that's why I'm uniquely qualified to give my opinion, because I don't know any better or worse for that matter. I spent a few weeks learning Hebrew on Duolingo before my trip and was able to order from this establishment without a single problem because they know more English than I know Hebrew and my G-d that was helpful! As soon as they heard my terrible Texas accent butchering their language they smiled and finished off the order in all English. The food is fantastic. The place is clean and the staff was on top of it. 10 out of 10 would recommend this place. May G-d continue to bless this restaurant, the great state of Texas, and the other Lone Star state Israel!

Amazing Shawrama. The stuff is very friendly. We ordered 3.5 kg of veal & turkey shawarma plus salads, cigars and everything basically for spicial event with 40 guests(my mother birthday). It was delicious, the meat was tender and juicy and the pitas felt like they just came from the oven. Before we ate we were arguing whether or not it was a good idea to get shawarma from Shabu or from the other spot nearby, once everyone finished their shawarma the only argument we had is veal or turkey, definitely Shabu from Now on.

Great service! I ordered a lot of shwarma and pitas to take away, and they were great in giving me a bag full of everything i needed. I would return.

THE BEST wrap and fries I have eaten! Shalom from Malta 🇲🇹

Very very good!!! Good price for a lot of food! Shawarma in Lafa + chips + humus = 50 nis. Nice atmosphere, everything clean.

For an authentic food experience, made at a house, so no seating, take out only, the cook is the kindest most humble person! Soft and delicious jachnun , spicy hot sauce and a fresh tomato pure are such a great pairing. Order in advance, and finding the place is part of the fun 🤩

Cozy place with couple of tables. Didn't like the taste of their food.(probably I didn't understand those Yemeni traditional dishes) However this place is always full packed and there is a queue outside.

Some of the best, authentic jachnun in town

Tasty! Recommended. It's inside apartmant, so look for it :)

Very good jachnun, complete with the usual accompaniments. Delivery was super fast, and free if you order 2+ portions. Only suggestion is that they should serve brown eggs instead of white.

A nice local authentic Jachnun restaurant. I'm buying there for years, and from the takeaway Jachnuns, they are better than others. Will be better for you to take away and eat at home or on the beach. Prices are fair. Enjoy :)

A 50 years old business making home made recepie JACHNON ( Jahnun is made from white flour, margarine or butter, a pinch of salt and sugar that is processed and folded over and over to create puff pastry)for years , its a must stop station every Saturday morning-non , home made with tomatoes salad and "SCHOG" (A spicy spread of chili pepper) some boiled eggs, and bon appetit!

It's the only spot for Middle Eastern treats. We stopped by for kanafeh, but walked out with three different desserts including Dubai chocolate. It's so good to have a great option besides the numerous ice cream parlors on Dizengoff.

We ended up here late night after dinner and loved it! It was very tasty😋 I loved their Malabi as well. Glad that we tried!

Ali and Rami took such good care of us! The food was amazing and the service was great too! Would highly recommend!!

Love the knafeh, so fresh and not too sweet. Friendly staff, relaxing atmosphere.

Delicious sweets, vegan options too, very friendly service...recommended!

Very cosy place! Friendly staff and tasty sweets!

Great hospitality, friendly staff and most importantly great food.
