I really liked hummus but the lamburger was mediocre. For that price I expected much more. The service though was good, friendly and attentive.

Convenient location, friendly service, interesting menus selections and pretty good tasting food. The wine list also has some reasonably priced Israeli and Portuguese wines.

The food has gone downhill, service people are arrogant and the music is always way too loud to relax and have a conversation. I believe it’s by design to turn tables over quicker.

The set up of the restaurant is very crowded, in order to hang my coat on the back of my chair I had to ask a person at a table behind me to move his chair, It felt like sitting in an airplane. The waitress wasn't very helpful, the dishes were ok size but pricey l, unfortunately I didn't feel I got what I paid for. For example the eggplant wasn't roasted it was cooked, the schnitzel was too thick, so some parts weren't well fried. These dishes should be made perfectly, it's a restaurant, not friends inviting you over for lunch

Delish food! Came for breakfast with my parents while they were in town. Made a resy in advance just in case, place wasn't packed on a saturday at 10AM which was nice. Service was great, they were quick and nice. The food was delicious. the pita bread was to die for. Freshly made, savory, warm, amazing. I tried some of my mom's pancakes and they were amazing, soft, yum. I got the Shakshouka and i loved it. Location is right by Domino park, indoors was cozy but not too crammed. I enjoyed myself, will def come back.

I think coming for nighttime when you can stand on the seats and use the tambourines would be the move. My friends and I came here for brunch and the service was kinda slow and the food was decent but I know there's better food out there. I kind of expected the Shakshuka I ordered and the hummus and falafel my friend ordered to be way more flavorful but they were kind of bland. The bread that came with the Shakshuka was okay but the table pita was the best. The pancakes looked good but I didn't try them. There's literally no walking space and we were shoved behind a pole that made it near impossible to get in and out of the seats!

weird experience here but really really good hummus so i’m tornwe had a reservation but were kind of squeezed in at a really small table. after being seated we had a few servers that weren’t communicating with each-other so they got our order wrong. but once we did get our food (shakshuka, hummus, lox sandwich) it was good!the only reason i’d go back would be for the hummus as mentioned earlier!!
