The restaurant has an Israeli atmosphere to it. My favorite item is the falafel and fries and they have some great bakery items for desert...
Long wait, but worth it!. I ate here for the first time and was impressed. I had a shawarma pita, which came with whatever salads I could cram in the pita (hummus, Israeli salad, various marinated veggies) and a side of fries. It was 7.99, and although the wait took quite a while (they definitely make it fresh here), the flavor of the pita and shawarma was just fantastic! The fries are just typical crinkle cut (probably from frozen), but if you come to an Israeli restaurant for the fries, this probably isn't your style anyway. The menu varies widely and has Laffa and Pitas as well as Bureka, Borsch, and other Middle Eastern specialties. Check them out; just go when you don't have anywhere else to be for an hour or so.
Vibe- Not going to lie, this spot is in a random strip center that might turn you off (it was a different food spot before and Taste of Tel Aviv is not yet up) but the food is worth it and so is the customer service. From the conversation I had with the guy that took my order, they have been open for a little amount of time. I was very intrigued by the pictures of Israel on the wall. The name of the restaurant has a city in Israel in it, Tel Avia!
Customer service- Amazing, the guy that took my order was so nice.
Food/drinks- I got the vegan nachos and the falafel starter; they were both full of flavor.
Parking- There’s about 40 parking spots in the lot.
I brought a friend here years ago, when it was under different management, and I was honestly embarrassed at the decor, service, and bad food.
Now, under new management, everything has changed.
The restaurant is much more aesthetically pleasing, with a nice, open, clean space, modern tables, and decor.
If you keep kosher and need an option for a good spot, this is no-fail. Not only do they have your dairy options (pizza, falafel, sushi, etc.), but next door is Shawarma TLV, where you can get shawarmas and shnitzel sandwiches.
(Also, a tip: Rather than use UberEats, try FonFon Delivery. They're constantly doing deliveries out of this establishment, and they don't charge extra fees, running up your bill, like UberEats does.)
I came here out of sheer curiosity, and yes, they have an Israeli/Mediterranean menu, a pizza menu, and a sushi menu. 😂 it's a cool place! very cute, very chill, and they do delivery/takeout (not sure if it's DoorDash or what but I saw a guy pick up a bunch of food). sushi was the size of my arm! 😳 amazing portions. hummus was decent. pita was deliciously floofy 😋 no idea what tea this is but I also like it! and they play what I assume is Israeli music on the radio, a huge relief from the annoying pop music that's everywhere. they also have wifi. 📶 didn't order much, but I'm looking forward to eventually trying everything on their menu!
This is such a great find. Very vegetarian friendly. There are pizzas and sushi in addition to authentic Israeli fare. The mint lemonade is perfect! Highly recommended!
I was skeptical. A Jewish sushi place on Hillcroft??? Yep! Their sushi rolls are legit! I was very impressed by the freshness and quality. The staff was very kind, and gave me a free sample of a frozen drink they were working on. I will definitely go back to try some other menu items!
From the moment you step through the door you are greeted with the warmest smile you'll ever see from the owner! He graciously took my order and offered me the best drink I have ever had! Frozen lemonade with fresh mint! This drink here is the truth! I'm not even a fan of mint but this has blown my mind! Please come by and order this drink! You will not regret it!
A beautiful little escape and wonderful atmosphere. Pizza is amazing and Israeli salad was fresh, crisp and full of flavor.
Awesome service and authentic Israeli pita fresh out the oven! Definitely a must if you are looking for Israeli falafel in Houston!!
All new. New MGMT. Great food! Now offering sushi. We loved it. Love the sushi. Enjoyed speaking with the owner. Very clean. Great service. They have great items for you to pick up for Shabbat.
There are many different things going on here and let me tell you this place does it ALL so well. I throughly enjoyed my meal here and will be making it a routine stop.
