    Eating at Taste of Akko is like being in the heart of Israel! Fabulous service. Food fresh. This is worth a trip to go! The hummus is very creamy. It’s just plain terrific.

    This has to be my first time writing a review before I walk out the restaurant. I’m sure you’ve seen in the reviews before but there isn’t falafel like this anywhere in the world. The owner Chaim such a nice guy who really cares about how much we enjoy the food. Absolutely delicious thank you so much!!

    Best falafel in Brooklyn (I've tried them all including m&17) and this is by far the #1 spot. The ravioli in rose sauce tastes like fine dining Italian cuisine. And they have the best knafeh in the world!! 🤌✊🏽🔥 Oh, and the Moroccan salmon is bomb 👀👀👀

    Definitely the best Israeli food in general and Hummus with Foul in particular. Fresh and delicious pickles and vegetables. What do you want more than that in order ro enjoy a good meal? We came 7 friends from Allentown, PA, and all of us love the food, without exception.

    Delicious!! I’ve heard of this hummus spot for some time and never actually stopped, today was my first time and I’m hooked ! I eat Hummus Machluta (combination) and the owner gave me a falafel ball to taste as well.. everything was so delicious and reminded me of home !! I’ll be coming often from now on. 5 stars all around

    Best falafel and hummus I've ever had. The French fries are made from scratch, not frozen. Fresh pita bread as well. Great service and friendly staff. Will definitely stop by again!

    Had been wanting to try this place for a while. I’d been to the city of Akko in Israel shooting a food show and had a fantastic time, so when I saw the name, I knew I had to try it. The food immediately took me back. The hummus, pita, shakshuka, everything was delicious and amazing. I went for a quick bite with my wife, but next time we’re making sure we’re going back very hungry. The staff makes you feel like part of the family and it’s a very authentic experience. As soon as you sit down, they start bringing you complimentary “salads” and dips. Then as we were paying the bill, they gave us each a falafel, because “you have to try this” (if was one of the best I’ve ever had!) I felt like I was actually back in Akko.

    Absolutely delicious food. And the environment is incredible. You will feel at home if you ever decide to eat-in. If not, then take it to-go and you will feel like this was a homemade meal because of how much heart was put into the food. It tastes so good for that reason exactly: the love that was put into it combined with the quality of the ingredients. It's very rare to find a restaurant that does both.

    The food is delicious and authentic! The salads are fresh, the falafel is tasty and they have the best hummus. They have an expanded dinner menu with a large variety which we want to try next time!we really enjoyed it here! And the knaffeh we had for dessert was beyond delicious!!

    I'm not a guy who usually writes reviews, but I feel like people will miss out if I don't.... Honestly the best, most delicious falafel I've had, rivaling even the top places in Israel!! The pita, falafel balls, and chummus were really fresh and tasty. The owners were amazingly friendly and made it such a warm and authentic Israeli experience. Can't wait to go back and try the rest of their food!! I've heard that their shakshuka is out of this world!!! If you're looking for some real good food and a real middle eastern experience, this is the place. Way to go, Taste Of Akko!!!!!!!

    First time trying this spot and I felt like I was right at home! The menu offers a variety of authentic Israeli food, each dish was prepared with care and attention to detail showcasing the rich and diverse flavors of Israel. The highlight of our visit was the freshly baked pita bread with an assortment of dips that we received before we even ordered from the menu, true Israeli style! The service was exceptional and truly authentic . Thank you so much

    Got the hummus, salad, and quiche. The salad was salty and tangy and so fresh. It had cucumber and tomatoes and really cleaned the palate as you took fragrant and tantalizing bites of the quiche dipped in hummus. Really fantastic stuff, will come here again when I’m around the area.

    Best hummus ever! So smooth!! No dairy, gluten, soy, or corn in the mushroom hummus. Delicious. And the owners of the restaurant are so sweet. I’ll be going back :)

  • 5/5 michal m. 2 years ago on Google
    Hummus was amazing, shakshuka was amazing, even the pickles and everything around including the service just great! You know it’s delicious when you’re full but still can’t stop eating :) Thank you! Will definitely come back!

  • 5/5 Isaac Z. 2 years ago on Google
    The best food, I feel like I was in Israel again. Made me feel like I was back home!! We ordered the shakshuka, Sabich, falafel and had all side salads. The best Borechas I’ve had before by far. They are for sure the best kosher breakfast place in Brooklyn. This will be my new breakfast place. Not only the food is unbelievable but the service and owner are the nicest. You will enjoy trust me!!!! Ami will take care of you!!

    Incredible food and incredible service. Truly the best falafels I have had in my entire life and everything else is just as amazing. Family owned. So welcoming. One of my all time favorite restaurants for sure.

    Stopped in after spending the day at World Spa nearby. Truly the best hummus and falafel I’ve ever had. Generous portions too. The owner and chef was super welcoming and his love for the food is apparent.
