Transcendent israeli food. Super friendly staff. Great vibes. Definitely grab the fried olives and whipped feta. Branzino and Salmon were great too.

I absolutely loved everything about my dinner here. The staff was so friendly and attentive, and helped me pick the food. They checked in on me regularly even though I was sitting at the farthest outside table. The food was unique, delicious, and made me want to keep trying more. I sat outside next to the bus stop which wasn't great for the atmosphere, but still enjoyable, and the interior looked very nice.

The food was stunningly delicious, well presented and with an individual touch to traditional middle Eastern delicacies like hummus. Service was excellent, professional and hospitable. When the restaurant got really busy after 7 pm on a Saturday, it became a bit noisy. Nevertheless, an eating experience! Money well spend!

Great atmosphere and even better food. Thanks a bunch for the great experience. I got the Whipped Feta, and it came with four rectangular portions of delicious pita bread. It was enough for two people to share or four people to try. I got the steak as a main (picture below) and it had a single potato chip as a side, the steak was really good, recommend medium rare. Shared the crème brûlée dessert (pic below) and both loved it. It had some tahini in it which cut the sweetness and made it really enjoyable (still sweet enough).

Absolutely delicious Israeli food! We went there for Brunch and we really enjoyed the food, service and atmosphere of this place. We especially enjoyed the Hummus, the fried olives, their pita, and the shawarma. It was a wonderful experience, can't wait to go back!

Absolutely loved our dining experience at their bar the other night. We sat for two and our bartender was Leah. We had some small bites to share and everything was exceptional. We loved that Our bartender knew all the dishes so well, made it easy to navigate the small (and thoughtful) menu. The mushroom dish was so satisfying. I loved the way the mushrooms were grilled perfection and served with all those delicious additions as garnish. We didn’t have a full meal but we tried a number of things. I recommend going here with people who would be willing to do the same. This is a great date night/ intimate dinner spot to order multiple things and share because I can’t imagine having one or two and being satisfied. The soup dumplings were amazing. Delicious eggplant dish and ceviche was well. Portion sizes are small for almost everything we ordered so be mindful if you are super hungry or looking for a big plate/meal.
