Creative food and exceptional service, a unique, joyful and flavorful experience that I would definitely recommend trying if you don't mind paying 450 NIS per person... as close as it gets to a Michellin stat experience. I gave it 4 stars and not 5 because, though the overall experience was great, the food itself was not amazing. Except for the bread, which was just heavenly! The eggplant and the onion dishes that were good, the rest of the dishes were not memorable in any way...

Celebrate a birthday dinner with a friend here and we had a wonderful time. The restaurant is aiming to be a Michelin star restaurant and it shows in the little details like the welcome, the service and the general atmosphere (there is no Michelin guide here). Early reservations are necessary. I enjoyed many dishes, especially the pumpkin and sweetbreads bites. The potato was also very creative and interesting. The winner was the pre-dessert that took an Israeli salad to a new creative level as a palate cleanser. The desserts were a bit too intense for me but that is a personal preference. The price for this type of meal is very affordable in comparison with other place has a great value for money. The location is very convenient with parking right across the street or in the building.

Wow what an amazing experience. They raised the price recently to 530 shekels per person excluding drinks and service (water is complimentary), so we were really hoping the food and overall experience would be worth the cost - it definitely was. Everything from the service to the delicious food was perfect. I don't think I have anything negative to say. The courses are small to medium in size, but after so many, all 4 of us were really full. I see reviews about people complaining about the saltiness of the food, portion sizes and other silly things. If you're not a foody and expect large portions go eat shawarma for 50 shekels and call it the day. If you appreciate high end food, then this place is amazing. And you won't leave hungry I promise.

Wonderful experience! This is exactly what I was looking for in fine dining in Israel - a very Israeli experience (local fresh produce, unique cuisine and personable staff) along with the high end service, techniques and dishes. The dishes are generous (even too much so, we were stuffed by the end) and feel fresh and well thought out. Absolutely lovely and highly recommended for visitors and locals alike.

Wow!!! Everything was perfect, the atmosphere, the staff, the experience and of course the amazing food. One of the best chef restaurants and tasting experience I had in Israel. 15 unique dishes that every one of them had special taste, color and appearance. It costs 530 shekels without service and without alcohol and worth it! Very recommend!!!

Wow! Beyond expectations! I cannot express how lovely our experience was. When we entered the door, the entire team including the great chef welcomed us in and made us feel at home. The dishes are so unique and creative, my pics can tell.. and soooo delicious! Plus, the service is just awesome. Worth it! :)

Probably the best dinning experience I had in Israel. It definitely stands to Michelen standards in terms of quality and experience. Even though some of the dishes weren't to my personal taste, most of them made me think about the food and the flavors which is usually what you are looking for. Service is top notch - never had such quality service in Israel. In terms of VFM - I think it's worth it, you get a lot of variety in terms of dishes and flavors, and you don't go out hungry at the end (We've been full halfway through the meal).

A truly unique culinary experience in Tel Aviv’s new midtown area. From the moment we got out of the car the experience begins. We were greeted at the door and let inside the warm and inviting, yet intriguing halls that lead to the main area of the tables. Once inside we were welcomed by the entire staff who stopped on their work to look at us and greet us together in one synchronized “welcome”. Then they gave us a mind blowing amuse-Bouche that allowed us a preview of what was to come. We were sat down in a beautiful and neat wooden table. The table area is next to the open kitchen area which is decorated beautifully and the chefs work in silence their preparation of the food. The menu is a set course of 15 plates, and the taste and ingredients of each one of them is so unique it plays a pleasant symphony with our senses. Each bite took us to new places, new feelings and new sensations. The waiter explained us the ingredients and preparation behind each of the plates and was interested in our feedback after each one. Everything was thought of. From The entry to the exit where we were offered a nice gift to leave with us (2 amazing cakes to eat with the morning coffee the day after), the menu in an envelope which summarizes everything we ate, and an amazing service that filled our evening with smiles and gratitude.

One of the best meals of my life, hands down at least top ten. The presentation is to die for, the flavors are complex and creative mixing with the wine paring on a level that’s hard to find. Superb in every way. Loved basically sitting in the kitchen too. The had work and artistic elements are preformed right before your eyes. Go here if you can get a table.

A very impressive chef restaurant with great attention to detail in the food and the service. The bathrooms, the decoration are very good. The food is creative and the dishes small enough to try a very wide variety (although it could be perhaps a slightly shorter meal, one main instead of two?). From the dishes, I loved the onion and the potato dishes the most. The only downside I would call out is the acoustics, the subdued conversations become quite noisy and sitting through a long meal felt a bit overwhelming. Take care to reserve in advance and plan for a long dinner.

Unique food, welcoming and professional staff, and great atmosphere. Most of the food was tasty, but it was mostly for the looks than for the taste. Except for 2 dishes (The onion and the potato) you could find a lot tastier dishes on cheaper places.

Fenoman, fenoman, fenomenal! Exquisite experience, amazing dishes and superb service. Each and everyone are extremely knowledgeable and nice. I won’t bother you with the dishes we had because your menu will be fixed anyway, and even though not everything was completely perfect, the total experience was out of this world and the food was nothing less than art. Chef Yossi is the sweetest person and so pleasant to speak with. If I absolutely had to say something bad: the sink and toilet at the only restroom are located weird and it’s not comfortable, especially for women. (And also I am not crazy about the way that all the staff is greeting every guest coming in)

The restaurant is designed in a very unique way, the space is very inviting, and the dining experience is wonderful. The service is also excellent, and the special welcome ceremony for each guest creates a great feeling for those who enter. The food, on the other hand, is lacking in my opinion, especially because there is no uniformity in the quality of the different dishes. Some were excellent - the onion soup and the special potato dish - and some were on the verge of inedible - especially the dishes that combined fish and cheese. Of course, this is a matter of taste, but I didn't understand how someone could taste these dishes and decide that it was a good idea to release them to customers. A high-end experience at this level of pricing must justify itself with excellent food, and unfortunately, HIBA does not meet this challenge.

A second experience in Hiba was awfully disappointing. The first time we went to Hiba was amazing, the food, the service and the tailormade atmosphere was worthy of a Michelin star quality. But unfortunately the second time was bad to say the least. We came with the highest of expectations and found hazardous flews in some dishes that are not acceptable in any restaurant, let alone from a chef restaurant at this level. Two pieces of plastic found at the mousse in one of our fish dishes is not a joke, and should have been taken more seriously by the staff. I assume this kind of behavior would not have pasted if the head chef was present at the moment. The atmosphere was still stunning and visually the dishes look beautiful but this kind of mistake might be fatal and not properly regarded. A shame.

The best restaurant I ever visited in Israel. Perfect tasting menu + amazing wine pairing. Super friendly hospitality :) Don’t miss this place if you happen to visit Tel-Aviv.

A high quality restaurant in the middle of tel aviv! I only give it 4 stars due to the harsh criticism it looks up to, for being a real high quality and level restaurant which there are not many of those in israel. In these standards though, the food was good but most dishes were just missing that top edge I would expect them to get to. On the service side it is good overall but not the same level as it reflects it should be, should work a bit harder on understanding the levels of depths it requires. Nonetheless, it is a good restaurant to be in which provides high quality and standards mediterranean influenced modern cuisine with impeccable visualization of the food and silverwares. A good experience.

Hiba's meaning in case you wondered is "becoming clear" mostly related to the sky after the rain. When you go in it seems overwhelming, the host guides you to the table, on the way you get a quick snack which served beautifully, and you get sitted. Some tables are unique and made of stone. And some feels like beach tables which are not so comfortable. The acoustic was terrible, we set in a round (beach table) 4 people and we just couldn't hear one another, we had to either repeat ourselves over and over or get closer to listen. The food was good, not outstanding as we expected but wasn't so bad, some of the dishes just wasn't for our taste. But the most annoying thing was the the waiters kept replacing our cutlery some times before we finished eating the dish. Without notifying or asking in a most robotic way. The entire feeling is mixed. We just don't think it worth the price.

I had the pleasure of embarking on a remarkable dining journey at HIBA, where the chef's creativity truly shines. The dishes were carefully crafted and displayed a level of finesse that rivals Michelin-starred establishments. At HIBA, they offer a tasting menu featuring 12 to 14 dishes that will surprise and delight your taste buds. While you don't get to choose specific dishes, the restaurant takes special care to accommodate any dietary restrictions you may have. I was impressed by their extensive wine selection and the sommelier's offer to pair wines with each course. Although my companions and I aren't big wine enthusiasts, the gesture was appreciated. However, a small disappointment was when I asked for a Negroni. Apparently they don't mix the drinks themselves, but rather get them pre-mixed, so you can't order any cocktail that is not on the menu. It would have been even better if they had a dedicated bar with a skilled mixologist to whip up custom cocktails, given the restaurant's stature. The dishes themselves were nothing short of excellent—each one was intriguing, beautifully presented, and prepared with meticulous attention to detail. The timing and pace of the meal were just right, allowing us to savor each course without feeling rushed. Don't let the smaller portion sizes fool you; the cumulative quantity was more than enough, leaving us thoroughly satisfied. The service was truly outstanding. The waitstaff were friendly, knowledgeable, and adept at describing the dishes. However, there were moments when their formality felt a bit distant, but maybe that's a matter of personal preference. The restaurant's minimalist design, characterized by earthy tones of stone and clay, contributed to the distant atmosphere. The absence of live flowers or greenery felt a bit stark, creating an unexpected contrast between luxury and a barren landscape. Lind of like eating dinner in the middle of Death Valley. In terms of pricing, it's worth noting that HIBA leans towards the higher end, with a cost of NIS 450 per diner (excluding alcoholic beverages but including mineral and carbonated water). Please bear in mind that prices may have changed since my visit. To sum it up, HIBA offers an extraordinary culinary experience curated by a talented chef, complemented by exceptional service. While the atmosphere and formality may feel slightly reserved, it remains the closest you can get to experiencing a Michelin-starred restaurant in Israel.

Hiba serves locally inspired dishes and provides personal and kind service, creating a wonderful overall experience. We were a party of 6, stayed until closing time so they gave us a tour of the kitchen which we enjoyed and added to the homey atmosphere.

The best restaurant i've ever been to. The food is great, the atmosphere is wonderful, the chef is no nice cooking for us at our table and the service was amazing. It's really expensive but worth every shekel.

Best service ever - super friendly and personal. Made special adjustments as I asked to reduce sugar and gluten. Cool design. Open, high end kitchen where you can appreciate the remarkable care going into each dish.

One of the best chef restaurants in Israel. High level cuisine, extremely professional service. Moroccan food with modern twist. Every dish is a piece of culinary art.
