    Perfect fresh dishes, immaculate service and a cool vibe, Shila is a great spot to enjoy seasonal fine dining. Parking? For us it was easy to park at the Hilton, a five minutes walk from the restaurant.

    Good food, but overpriced for the portion size and taste in my opinion. Plus, some of the staff is really not helpful. We were getting late because of parking and they didn't bother letting us know they have parking services, and we lost our initial table which started our birthday dinner really bad tbh. Also, it's really noisy and the table we got in the end was being bothered all the time by the parking services that we didn't even recieve. Absurd.

    An amazing experience! Delicious dishes and extremely high quality food. Absolutely incredible! The crystal shrimp carpaccio was unbelievably good and very unique. One of the best in Tel Aviv restaurants.

    Amazing seafood starters, sabiche and tartar were delicious! Good wine selection. Pricey, but it worth every shekel. Service was OK bit doesn't really match the food level. Overal highly recommended.

    When in Tel Aviv, give it a try. It is on the pricy side, yet the city vibes are totally worth it. The food had some highlights, we were dissatisfied and disappointed by one of the seafood dishes. Manager was ontop of it and helped us find a different dish much to our satisfaction. All in all I would still recommend to try it.

    Hip and busy, Shila was recommended to us as a top tip for a great dinner. The seafood was incredible and went well with the great white wines on selection. A little on the pricey side if you indulge in the wines!

    Definitely a 5 star. Everything, from the service, to how welcoming the staff were. And than to the food! We didn’t eat any of the meats as the place is known for its sea food. Everything was perfection. The seasoning! Only thing that was good and not great - was the creme brûlée. But it was still pretty good.

    I do not eat seafood, so was a little worried about the place, when my friend invited me in. But, turns out salads and meat are delicious here, so no issues. Loved the stuff, all fast and carefull, suggested New Zealand wine was awesome. Definitely can recommend.

    Helpful, friendly staff, buzzing atmosphere, outstanding dishes - the seafood squid ink pasta is a standout. A memorable dining experience for our anniversary. Chapeau!

    Lovely place. Went for lunch. Had a tasty Israeli white wine. Attentive service, beautiful platings, and tasty food! Octopus appetizer, shrimp and gnocchi, and thyme ice cream - all wonderful!

    Another great dinner at Shila. Food is exceptional as is the service. Sommelier Zur is world class. Can’t wait to go back again.

    Birthday at Shila. If you’d like to eat fish in Tel Aviv this place is number one. My husband booked us a table for 3 persons and we’re with a stroller and 3 months old. At 17 on Saturday there’re few people and we sat outside. Service were amazing, waitress knew all menu and helped us to choose the best dishes. We got 2 main dishes and one from the “in between” section.

    We went for a spontaneous mid-week lunch the day before our daughter's wedding just to give ourselves a minute to slow down and have a nice quiet moment. I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of the business lunch menu. Everything was super tasty. The service was great, nice young people that weren't shy or weird. They were engaging and lovely! And one makes gorgeous jewelry!

    Great service and atmosphere. The food is delicious, we were hungry so we didn't even take any photos. The seafood itself is very fresh, the flavors are amazing, the waiters are very knowledgeable. The gnocchi in white butter sauce is absolutely amazing.

  • 4/5 Jan L. 1 year ago on Google
    Crowded restaurant with some very strange and nice dishes. Serving meat but mostly fish and sea fruit. Nice wine list. Not the cheapest place in town, but high standards. Friendly servie with valet parking. We thought the place rather loud, small tables, close together, music but compared with other places it's bearable.

    The food was good, however, for this price range one can expect a bit more creativity and more neat presentation. For a restaurant of this category, the service has to do better. It took almost an hour after seating til we got the first course. The regular staff could not tell us what the house wine was and the senior staff who could help us then seemed to have forgotten our order. All in all, I expect more from a restaurant in this price range. Good, but nothing to write home about.

    Waited 1+ hour for a table and would have gladly waited 3+ hours. Incredible food and cocktails. The waiter had an amazing recommendations and we enjoyed all 5 of our courses. We also had a member of our party who was gluten free and they talked to the chef and gave us a comprehensive list of what was and wasn’t gluten free. It’s a must stop for anyone visiting Tel Aviv just make a reservation ahead of time!

    I dined here in March as a single diner on a very busy evening. They looked after me impeccably, given that being a single diner can be tricky. The food is superb, the wine list is extensive and the wonderful young lady sommelier knowledgeable, kindly and polite.

    It seems like a fancy place with fancy prices. At the same time expected more from the service level and more sincere and natural attitude.

  • 5/5 Michael W. 2 years ago on Google
    A meal at Shila is a must in Tel Aviv. It reminded me of those cool places in the West Village of NYC, where the food is the star of the show. It’s designed and set up to feature the food and the chefs. I was alone and sat in the bar where I was served excellent food and cocktails with a full view of the kitchen in action. The beef carpaccio was one of the best I’ve ever had, and is easily shared as a starter for two. Just like my favorite places in Manhattan, Shila has a great vibe, meaning very local, and with an atmosphere I liked immediately. The fresh fish is perfectly seasoned and prepared. And the crème brule was light as a feather. I will never come to Tel Aviv again without at least one meal at Shila. Bonus points: Israeli celebrity chef Moshik Roth came in and sat a few seats away from me at the bar. What a treat!

    Not very impressive. Normal level. Shila doesn’t stand out because of either the advantages below: The variety of ingredients, the creativity of mixing flavors, the complexity of cooking ways, the freshness of seafood, the delicacy of dessert menu.

  • 5/5 Tess A. 3 years ago on Google
    My husband and I went to Shila for the first time to celebrate our anniversary. The food was absolutely delicious! There's so many options and everything that we tried, we loved! The seafood tasted very fresh and every dish highlighted seafood in a different way. The cocktails were amazing, we especially loved the "jackass". Our waitress was incredibly helpful and friendly. We had a wonderful time and will definetly be going back!

    This restaurant keeps being one of the best in Tel Aviv for seafood fine dining. Every dish we had was superb in taste as well as looks.

  • 5/5 Rheanna 2 years ago on Google
    Food was really good quality and seasoned well. I did think that the starters were a little expensive for what you get, but mains were big and filling. Service was also good.

👍 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...
