    A very nice place for lunch in the heart of Tel Aviv. Good, traditional Middle Eastern food (hummus, falafels, grilled vegetables, vegetable salad) served on site. Everything fresh and very tasty. It's a bit noisy and loud but that's the charm of this place. I would recommend.

    One of the few affordable restaurants that we have found here in Tel Aviv! We had a large chicken salad for two which filled both of us up. There are several many items that I wish to return for!

    Spent almost two weeks in Israel and had a lot of meh shawarma. I needed a good meat shawarma before I left Israel and this place delivered. It was full of meat! My daughter loved her salad. My wife liked the falafel. Don't pass on the mashed potatoes balls. Went back a second night and had the schnitzel. Different staff, still cool kids club. Very nice. Didn't use the bathroom, so can't comment on that. Outside seating was comfortable with gentleman who kept it clean. A Tel Aviv must see.

    Went again a few days ago in the evening. The hummus plate with falafel was good but not memorable. The schnitzel in a challah was a real pleasure. Fresh halla, meat cooked to perfection, very good sauce. (matbura) Still recommanded Was there a few time. Good falafel but not the best. Went on Friday, no falafel but schnitzel in a challah which has become a trendy dish in Tel Aviv. Very enjoyable but not really my thing for lunch. For me the star of the show was the soups. 4 or 5 options, we had green lentil and yellow lentil soups. Full of flavors, big portions, bread on the side. Perfect. Would go back just for that!

    Be prepared for a long line, but it is worth to wait. Service is a little bit confused, but you will get your food for sure. Food is excellent, prices are OK. There are several press articles about the owner, chef on the wall inside. Have a look at it before you leave.

    Great street side dining. We had the "meal" meat soup and the chicken salad. Portions are huge. The meat soup reminds me of homemade beef stew with beans. Beef was super tender..just falls apart easily and soup was well seasoned. The salad was uneventful...but the pickles made it better. A single dish could easily feed two. Hope to have opportunity to try other menu items next time when I visit.

    It's your typical street joint selling middle Eastern food. I tried the meat soup with beans and the falafel - a deep fried potatoes crochet with generous serving of pickles and vegetables and bean paste. I find the meat soup tasty, like tomatoes based with beans and beef. The falafel was a little disappointing. Not that I have tried better before but I find the falafel a little overcooked and the taste is blend. Queue start building up at 730pm. I was there at 7pm and it was easy. Portion is generous, can easily shared by 2 person if you are a moderate eater. Tried it yourself.

    Centrally located on a main road ( perfect for people watching ). Food is AMAZING and huge ( for me ) portions. Only nice people work there. Be aware that they are close on Sunday and Friday is halal menu so limited choices.

    This is a fantastic fast food place that offers cleanliness, freshness, affordability, and quick service. You won't have to wait long for your order. I highly recommend trying two dishes in particular: the Stitzel in challah bread and the falafel. Enjoy!

    Fantastic falafel. Pita is soft and fresh. Add green chillies for an extra pop. Falafel balls are crispy and perfectly seasoned. Service is fast and friendly.

    Great food and fun atmosphere.

  • 5/5 Rebecca G. 10 months ago on Google
    This was the best meal I had in Tel Aviv. I wish I could get lamb kabob this good back in the US, but alas, this gives me an extra excuse to go back to Israel. Service was prompt and very friendly. I ate at the high top with a view into the kitchen. I liked being able to observe the restaurant. You can tell it’s very busy with repeat local customers. My friends had shawarma and I ordered the lamb kabob and falafel on the side which was so good!

  • 5/5 Lilli F. 1 year ago on Google
    Very delicious, they put a lot of Schnitzel in the Pita! (Though expensive, as it is in all of Israel…35 ILS)

    I got overcharged, I didn't get a receipt to check this and when i went to question this I got ordered to get out of the way and stand by the food counter. I was the only non-israeli there so if you're foreign avoid this place. The sandwich was good but not worth the price 48. About 14 euros

    First time eating here, and everything was great and food delicious 😋

  • 4/5 Thomas 1 year ago on Google
    I was surprised to find that it tasted differently on two separate occasions. On my first visit, the hummus had a unique flavor that I hadn't tasted before. However, on my second visit, the taste was completely different. Good but not so enjoyable...

  • 5/5 Marcos P. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Ana A. 4 years ago on Google
    Cheap fast quality quantity! I could not be more happier. I will definitely coma back. There is a queue but it goes fast. I ask for rice and beans no meat. It was so good! Vegan and vegetarian options and meat lovers as well. Outside And inside area.

    I love the food here! The falafel is great and the home cooked dishes are really good, with large portions too!

  • 5/5 Koko 4 years ago on Google
    Is a must stop on my trips to Tel Aviv. Excellent tasty food. I really like the Chicken filet on a plate w/ rice & beans, pita and hummus and salad. Of course have to try the Falafel . I’m told the best around. I haven’t had a lot of Falafel but it’s tasty. You can also get soup, shawarma, chicken schnitzel, shakshuka and the list goes on. Delicious 😋 !

  • 5/5 Robin C. 5 years ago on Google
    Excellent felafel, hummus and tahina. Even if it looks like there is a queue, the staff are very efficient so the queues can go down quickly. Stay - the food is worth the (short) wait. There is a selection of beer as well as soft drinks, and there are tables to eat in or you can take the food away.

    Ohhhhh myyyyy God!! These guys have the best Shawarma in Tel Aviv!! Being someone who’s palette loves spicy and flavourful food, I couldn’t have asked for a better last meal in Tel Aviv!! The restaurant sits right on the famous Bograshov street and serves yumm middle eastern food. We ordered two beers and the SHAWARMA ENTRECÔTE (beef). The same thing can be ordered in chicken also. This for me was the yummiest Shawarma I’ve ever had!! It was so good that I went and ordered for one more. It’s given with a side helping of salad which you need to pick out on your own. I suggest taking the chillis and pickles along with this. Even the fried bread is quite nice! Totally recommend this place!!

  • 5/5 Stephan K. 1 year ago on Google
    Fast, delicious, original. You get the Israeli classics. Easy going atmosphere and reasonable prices. Queues can be long at certain times. Go for the Shakshuka and a cold lemonade.

  • 5/5 Aslan O. 2 years ago on Google
    Delicious falafel, fast service 10/10

  • 4/5 Shailesh S. 1 year ago on Google
    Value for money. I had falafal in pita here from internet references It's roadside eatery so can't expect great ambience but it's nice place. Ensure that you ask for best combination which suits your taste else it could be soggy. I wish they have open counter for pickles and Tahini so you make it to your taste.

  • 4/5 Margarida N. 1 year ago on Google
    We went for a late dinner so they were a bit out of options... However the rice with beans and meat was great and really yummy

  • 3/5 Sofya R. 1 year ago on Google
    Best falafel and hummus. Not working at 20:30 when Google says open till 22:30. Be careful.

  • 5/5 Juliet G. 1 year ago on Google
    Really good value falafel and pitta, very tasty, good portions. All the food looked really good. It seems a very busy place but the service is pretty quick considering this.

  • 5/5 Estefania R. 1 year ago on Google
    Best street food ever! Fresh, Juicy like home made and very decent prices and generous portions I went there like 3 times It was that good

  • 4/5 Guillermo Anderson B. 2 years ago on Google
    If food and service have always been this good, no wonder why the place has been open for so many years. Excellent Hummus and Falaffel. כל הכבוד

👍 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...
