    They are the best!!! Food service, music, atmosphere etc. If you want to go back in time, feel yourself again in your grandmother's house full of warmth and tasty food - this is a place where the past becomes a reality. Thank you very much for keeping your family business alive 😘💕🌹

    The food was absolutely amazing! Try the shakshuka and hummus! Lovely location in old town, super cozy and truly delish! However note it’s fairly pricey.

    Very nice authentic family Cafe. We took a breakfast for two- it was simple but so nice. Coffee and Knafe finished the job to leave an amazing impression and desire to visit again.

    One of the best Shakshuka I‘ve ever eaten. Service could be better. But I added one star ⭐️ for their nice apology

    I have been already few times in this cafe while visiting Tel Avib in 2019 and 2022, so it‘s time to write a review :) It‘s a small family cafe with nice food and drinks, also not to expensive (compared to other places in the area). We tried hummus, falafel and halloumi cheese - everything is fresh and home made. Also we took orange juice, lemonades and coffee, traditionaly brewed with hot sand - delicious (of course, if you like this sort of coffee). Briefly - nice place, worthy of visiting:)

    Wonderful place. We stumbled across this place by accident because we were taking shelter from the rain. The food is wonderful and very fresh. We had our last meal in Israel here. Very good service. We even got homemade cakes made by grandma! Highly recommend!!

    This restaurant is located on the out skirts of Jaffa. Had a wonder meal there and great view of the city, the owner was fantastic and gave me a great history lesson of the area. I would recommend stopping here for lunch or dinner.

    Worst excuse for a smoothie I’ve ever seen, basically watered down to an inch of its life. Tried to get the attention of staff for 10 minutes to ask them if this was really what they serve as a smoothie but was ignored. They were quick to take my payment though. Disappointing all round.

    The place is lovely and the was food ok. I had just a small salad so I can’t judge. The service was unfreindly. Women with no smile AT ALL. I tried to smile and be nice. But nothing. They had argument in the kitchen. I gave a tip and had a poor Thank you with again no smile.

    This boutique restaurant located in Jaffe was the perfect spot for our afternoon lunch. With a beautiful view of the old city we were met with great hospitality by the owner and his family. I was pleasantly surprised to find that they served shakshuka, a tomato and egg dish that is homemade and one of my favorite dishes. if you have never tried it, it is amazing. The restaurant also has a great comfortable environment. I highly recommended this place for lunch or dinner.

    Great and delicious place! The food was so good (I got the toast) and the knafeh is the best I’ve ever had. Worth the wait, for sure.

    Tucked behind the old Jaffa quarter you can find this amazing coffee shop. The old school vibe blends perfectly with the tranquil energy and feeling very well looked-after by the old great arab artists posters as they welcome you to nostalgia and good coffee

    Great cafe in Jaffa. Situated in highly touristic area, the place is loved by locals seeking tasty and fresh food, friendly service, authentic ambience, good collection of magazines and items from Israel of 60's and 70'. Highly recommended.

👍👍 Delicious food and delightful atmosphere in this corner of quiet streets under big old trees. We tried multiple dishes, all great! Service got a bit slow towards the end as they were closing.
