I last visited in December 2016 and while the food was great the place was disorganized. This time everything seemed to click. The food was great, it was served promptly with no mistakes, service was friendly and patient and they had good deals on the business lunch menu.

Tulip

Reviewed By TheShis

This is an authentic little restaurant, which serves mainly traditional Hungarian food (as well as other Western dishes).The owners of the restaurant (and most of the staff) are actually of Hungarian descent, which makes the place even more authentic, due to the Hungarian language constantly being spoken by the great staff.As for the food - well, it was pretty much OK, but lacked any WOW effect nor unique tastes. While traditional Hungarian food is rich in flavors, most of the dishes were rather bland in taste and lacked that familiar "home made" touch.The restaurant itself, while looking very plain, is anything but cheap. We were a couple at dunner, had 3 starters, 2 mains and 2 desserts and paid a hefty 300 NIS (apx. 85 USD) + tip.Bottom line - a decent place for a one time dinner, but I don't think we'll be back.

I actually like the food at this restaurant, but today I experienced the following: I went to lunch today, at the “Italkia b’tachana” restaurant in Tel Aviv, with an English speaking friend. When we got the Hebrew bill, I noticed the waiter had automatically added 15% tip. He did not know I read Hebrew. When I confronted him and asked him if it’s noted in the menu that this is what they do, he said no, but it’s a new law. We said that we eat in plenty of restaurants and have never come across this phenomenon. He said its a recent law. He did say that if we wanted to reduce the % we could or that he would take it off all together. When I confronted the shift manager and complained in Hebrew, she said they do that to tourists because they don’t always leave tips and if I wanted she would reimburse us. I told her that I would report them. If they are going to arbitrarily add a tip to the bill, then they should have it noted in their menu. If I hadn’t said anything, the waiter wouldn’t have even mentioned that he’d added the tip. I wonder what would have happened if I had told him to add a tip, would he have told me that they already did? Very upsetting.Thank you for writing your feedback. We hope that we can fix the situation and see you again among our customers

This place was recommended to us by our hotel, but we found out later that it’s a sought-after place by locals just as much as visitors.3 seating areas, the best (in our opinion) was the covered patio with the lights.Great for sharing plates large and small. The highlight for us was the fig carpaccio, one of the tastiest things we’ve had in a long time.The place fills up so reservations are suggested!

Busy local restaurant with friendly service. We ordered starters that were really good but were enormous, we could barely manage our main courses, a few mouthfuls. The foccacia with tomatoes and burrata was great. The black pasta with shrimp less so, bland, no flavour and the fish could have been frozen. Skipped deserts though they sounded good.

Have not been in this restaurant for 2 years. Yossi the owner greeted us on arrival. The service in this restaurant is on a very high level. T aubergine special starter served with tomato salsa, pine nuts, tahini and coriander was amazing, the Moroccan bread melted in the mouth with a crunchy crust. The beetroot tarter was delicate and flavoursome. My wife had the chopped steak with mash potatoes was flavoursome and cooked to perfection. I had the Taleh kebab with a delicious sauce. This restaurant by far, has the best boutique wine collection of any restaurant that I visited around the world. We have tried several boutique wines, all which were delicious, particularly the Aharonoff 2014 Reserve. Highly recommended.

Reviewed By mttaylor9

Combine a beautiful setting, plenty of free parking and great food in Holon (which is not known as a foodie hotspot) and you have Silo.Quick service with a smile (also not super common in Israel) and creative dishes. We ordered the cauliflower app which came beautifully roasted with the perfect amount of cheese. Not too oily or gooey. The Caesar salad was top notch, served with real Parmesan and lots of it. I forgot to ask with no croutons and they had about a 1/2 loaf of bread made into very crispy croutons in the salad. The waiter offered to switch it out but I enjoyed picking them out as it slowed me down. I added a carpacio and my guest ordered the tortellini. Both very good.We skipped dessert but they came around with slushie shots which were refreshing and tasty.All that good food and great service for under 300nis including a nice tip.I will be back for sure!

Reviewed By Jonathanpc61

I have never been to this restaurant before but my son recently moved to Rishon from Tel Aviv so we set him the challenge of finding us a local restaurant that could match some of the amazing places in Tel Aviv that he took us to.He did not disappoint us as it is one of the best fish meals I have ever eaten anywhere.This place has been around for a long time and having now eaten there I can see the reason for it’s longevity.There is a great selection of fish cooked in different ways on the regular menu and they also had a number of specials.The starters we had were all excellent. We had fish kebabs and a mushroom carpaccio both of which were warm and big portions.For main course I had sea bream fillets on a mushroom risotto and my wife had sea bass which was cooked with vegetables and a slightly spicy sauce, it was one of the specials. We shared the dishes and both were delicious. Beautifully cooked fish, the mushroom risotto with mine was great as were the vegetables and sauce with the special.We were quite full but decided to try a couple of desserts. The summer berry knafeh and the warm chocolate brownie with salted caramel ice cream were both worth the calories.We also had a bottle of Israeli white wine with out meal.The service was excellent, friendly and professional but not intrusive.It was not cheap, about £50 a Head including service but as a treat was well worth it.If you get the chance you should definitely give it a try.I would not hesitate to go back again but am waiting for the next local place that my son wants us to try.

Villa Mare

Reviewed By djmaxfreeman

Out of 10 times i visit this city, around 6-7 is specially to visit this place. Here are just a few reasons:LOCATION: Perfectly located 15 meters from the water, the place offers tremendous view of the sunset. You can also chill inside with your laptop, while your girl is getting her sun bath.FOOD: It is tasty beyond any words. More than that, the place adds new meals or changes existing ones every season. It is truly a restaurant with dignity and approach. Loved their carpaccio, mixed seafood were amazing too.DRINKS: a classical vast choice of drinks and cocktails with a few interesting twists.SERVICE: outstanding. If you've been to Israel - you know that proper service in this country is a prerogative of overpriced premium venues. So this one was a surprise. Very friendly and warm service in a reasonably priced place. Respect!CLEAN: In spite of the beach, sand, wind - the place is still very clean! Another surprise! ATMOSPHERE: a separate thanks for the music that is always great and appropriate for the place, weather or time of the day!Generally - this is my favorite place to eat in Bat Yam. HIGHLY recommended!
