First impressions werenât good with restaurant being mostly empty however, it was relatively early.Menu did not look that exciting to be honest and lack of local food was a bit disappointing. However, first impressions were wrong and food was well cooked, tasty and service was extremely good.

Great place for lunch. The Memu Lawach is fantastic. The wrap is sweet and the fillings are fresh made as you watch. The show is also part of the charm. And the music.

Must book in advance! Atalya Ein Mor was born and raised in the picturesque village of Ein Kerem. Following her work in renowned restaurants and years of preparing food from a simple need to create, she decided to combine exquisite food, breathtaking view

Dining with Atalya is an unforgettable experience that you will want to share with your friends and family because words cannot do her hospitality justice. I was lucky enough to be invited to a dinner hosted by Atalya at her lovely home for a close friend and the meal was easily one of the best I have ever had. However, to comment just on the food alone would be a disservice to Atalya, as the experience encompasses far more than just a meal. Beginning with cocktails and a sunset view from her roof, Atalya was a cultural ambassador for Ein Kerem, describing the historical, cultural, and culinary significance of her beloved home town. And this unique joy and attention to detail carried over into the meal, a multi-course feast that fully displayed all the region has to offer. From ceviche to spinach in phyllo to fresh fish and lamb chops with tzatziki, during each small course Atalya told us charming stories about her quests throughout Ein Kerem, Mahane Yehuda, the Old City, and Mea Shearim to find the best local ingredients and rediscover the traditional ways of turning these ingredients into the iconic dishes for which the region is now famous. Even the local wines, paired expertly with each course, were accompanied by tales of similar artisans and their crafts. And of course the meal concluded with some phenomenal desserts with local influences. In short, if you dine at Atalya's you will definitely have a great meal, but you will also come away with a deeper appreciation of the city, the region, and its food and a fantastic memory of an experience that will not soon be forgotten.WOW! you made me excited do much! It's so great to hear you describing your experience hear. Thank you for noticing all the little details and remembering it. And thanks a lot for your will to share it with me and with the readers.I'll be more than happy to host you again- maybe this time for a workshop so you'll be able to cook some of the things back home (but then it comes with out the stories, lol )Best Atalya

We booked a table for lunch at Sukkot. This was the result of favorable Trip Advisor evaluations. Two of us had, what the waitress called Stroganoff, although on the menu it said beef head. It had nothing to do with the well-known Stroganoff. Four very little pieces of meat floated in a red spicy sauce and some chickpeas. The taste wasn't bad but it played the role of a main course and it just didn't fulfill its role. We left hungry. The burger, both the regular and children's portions were fair in size. The Malabi was tasty on a coconut sauce basis but again a very modest dish. We paid 64 shekels for each of the so-called Stroganoffs. The cheque for four: 2 burgers and 2 Stroganoffs plus the sweets and drinks came up to exorbitant 365 shekel. For example, the kid's burger was charged 42 shekels. One Malabi: 24 shekel. 300 ml of Weihenstephan beer: 32 shekels.Hi, I'm very sorry to hear that you had bad experience at our restaurant,The hed beef dish is a special so it it's not on the menu however I understand that one of our staff told you it is strogonoff meat and I think it was a language barrier that miss lead you again I'm sorry and I really hope to have you hear again for a better experience, like you can see most of our costumers leave hear very happy and return. One more thing the weihenstephan 330ml is 28 and the 500 ml it cost 32.Thank you for the feedback I can assure you that we will learn from it and do everything we can to satisfy all of our future costumers.

I have been wanting to give Ziryab a try for a while, but when we finally had a chance to visit our meal was mostly disappointing.The food is overpriced for Ramallah, even for touristy/western catering places. You can get a much better meal for much less elsewhere. Also, the service was very lacking. It took ages just to get a menu and our drinks... and one of the dishes we ordered never arrived at all!The dishes we tried were good, but nothing exceptional. The fukhara was very bland and lacked some seasoning. Out of the dishes we tried, the Fattoush Salad, was very good and was a generous portion. Other dishes left us unimpressed.I would probably not visit again, just over food at over priced prices and there are some better places to eat in Ramallah.Hello Mr Filoulou, We are sorry about the the bad experience you had in ziryab And about the dish that did not arrive to the table thank you for reviewing . We always make sure to give a high quality of food , drinks and service as mentioned in TripAdvisor as a high rated place in ramallah. I would like to know what time did u come. and we as ziryab management we would like to invite you to ziryab to try our dishes again. Thank you for telling your true experience and review us in tripadvisor your review will be taken under consideration accept our apologize.
