    Wow!! Very special and unique experience! The restaurant (black out) is astonishing by the experience and feeling of eat in complete darkness. Waiters are also blinds and voluntarily explain how to life in this world. The food is very tasty too! The gnockis are great. Highly recommended, do not go with childrens.

    Amazing experience! We booked a dinner at "Blackout" and show "לא על הלחם לבדו". The dinner is conducted with great attention to detail. You will be amazed by the food, but also by the experience itself of eating in complete darkness, and from the good people working and doing everything to make you enjoy this to the max. The show was also interesting, getting to know how and what it means to be blind and/or deaf. Your notice how much work it must have been to create such a show with so many talented people. P.S. costumer service over the phone were also very helpful and attentive. Thank you for a great evening!

    Simply put, experiencing a meal here is transformational. I couldn't recommend it any more. The menu is superb, the food is delicious, the service is excellent, and the experience of being lead and waited on by the visually impaired is meaningful and beautiful. Empathy blossoms here. In addition to eating in the dark in the restaurant, you may opt to be waited on by the hearing impaired in the cafe, or may see a performance by the hearing and visually impaired in the auditorium. An excellent choice for locals and tourists alike.

    Very educational experience about how deaf people use sign language to communicate. A lovely feeling of inclusiveness and hope.

    Theatre by Deaf People - amazing. The performance of Deaf Conversation was quite remarkable. The actors were really great and the scenes were humorous. Definitely worth an hour and a half of time at the Jaffa Port.

    We ate at the Blackout restaurant at the Nalaga'at center. The food was very good in the staff were all very nice and attentive. The experience of eating in the pitch black was interesting and I did not find it unpleasant although it did give me a sense of what people with diminished or no vision experience. Definitely worthwhile in my opinion.

    We had dinner at the Black-Out Restaurant at the center. It was an amazing experience! The complete darkness gave us a small taste of what blindness is like. Our fantastic waitress, Hila shared her experiences with us. The meal was tasty and it was fascinating interacting with our table-mates in the darkness, as well as learning to navigate a meal without any visual input. Very highly recommended!!

    Came here for a birthday for dinner in the dark as a surprise (I didn't know what to expect and never heard of this place before). Every time you go to a restaurant you need to have two major things: 1. food (8/10) 2. Experience. (11/10) The food was good. But the experience just gave a new perspective which I rarely get when experiencing new things. This place is Must. You should experience it at least once. You are not going to be disappointed . I am not going to tell you exactly what happened. And you should not Google or search it. Just go there and give it a try. You should reserve ahead.

    Food was great, waiters very polite,talked about their life stories) Eat in the dark is not comforting at all,but it's an unforgettable experience anyway...

    A delicious culinary experience at Blackout Restaurant...but so much more than that. You are led to your tables by blind waiters, who are also your hosts and ready and willing to answer any questions about their blindness and life as a blind person. You see nothing but you hear the laughter and jollity all around and feel much more relaxed than you expected you would. And then you leave, back into the wonderful world of colour... I recommend catching one of the various performances after your meal. Meal and performances should be prebooked! You don't need to know a word of Hebrew to enjoy all this wonderful centre, Na Lagaat, has to offer!

    I really liked the place, it is a wonderful place and a great show of deaf and dumb and it illustrates to you much better the deafness and it is just a beautiful show. And the place is near Jaffa which is very convenient

    A unique centre, which helps people with disabilities to cope with their difficulties. The disability staff produces songs,theatres and craftsmanship. Also a workshop, which simulates their life is available for the public there.

    This is something you HAVE to do!!! Wow it was an incredible experience. The food is great but it's the whole experience that you will be in awe of. Highly recommended 👌 Thank you to all the staff who made this evening so unforgettable, we were 4 people ranging from 17 years old to 60+ and each of us loved our time here

    Was a unforgettable experience, you will be able to enjoy your dinner by touching, smell the environment! You will forget about your view, just to feel a different way

    went there for a chocolate tasting at the Blackout. Great experience, the waiters are great story tellers (and obviously blind). Would recommend it to anyone. open your heart and eat chocolate. couldn't ask for much more.

    A special place operated by special people that give you a glimps into their world.

    We got to sit in a fully-darkened room for 45min and hear about the visually-impaired guides' background stories, along with some clay modeling activities and a Q&A session. Overall, a unique experience, which could have been better had we been free to actually move around the room and get a better feel of what visually-impaired people actually deal with in their daily lives

👍 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...
