I frequent this place pretty regularly. It has a nice environment, indoor and outdoor Seating, coffee bar, and alcoholic beverages. One of the better places for a date or business meeting in the area. If you want the most for your money try the lunch menu.

Location is inside a mall so it can get a bit noisy and service could have been faster and more attentive, however the food was good and portions were very generous - maybe too generous. Seriously consider splitting meals. Compared to other similar places, the prices are a bit high, but still a good place to stop.

So this continues to appear as a popular place, at least for mid-day lunch. It is always fairly crowded at that time- there are the others also taking a break from work, the young high powered business people at a working lunch, the lone tekkie in the corner working furiously on his laptop, the retired people on a leisurely outing, and of course the group of English-speaking mommies out together while their kiddies are all in school. Everyone seems to be enjoying themselves, the atmosphere and the food........
.......... except me. That's correct- it never works out for me here (and I am talking about experiences at three different branches in two cities). The workers rarely seem to get my order correct and this time was no exception. But three workers together consulted and it worked out. At least this time, they had all the ingredients.
I sat and did not enjoy the food nor the busy atmosphere inside, and not the soup, not the Sandwich and not the salad (I declined the brownie) So why do I find myself coming back here?.... Because my work partner likes it.....
4. Sashimi

Sashimi is a hidden gem, unassumingly ensconced in a strip of fast food joints. Exceptionally fresh sushi, and a homey, quaint, vibe- this place has quickly become my favorite spot for lunch with friends, and informal date night with the hubs, or a quick pick-me-up during errands. Loving the variety of the rainbow roll. Consistently delicious (Kosher!) sushi and fast, friendly service. What more can a girl ask for?

I really liked this place when I visited the city in February 2016. I liked it a lot less when I revisited the city earlier this month- during the High Holy Days.
Previous other reviewers-
I didn't understand nor agree with Pelony's complaint about kosher supervision.
I didn't agree with Ariella's glowing report.
I found the soup bland and salty and too watery without enough substance. The sushi didn't stay together and almost fell apart.
The service was only fair- it's a bunch of 20 year olds who banter among themselves too much.
The price was probably fair.
I hope that it will be better if I return to the city for High Holy Days 2019- there is sushi competition in the area now.
6. Holy Bagel

Reviewed By Ariella W - Jerusalem District, Israel
The bagels are great. Staff is friendly. Food is average.
For grabbing a bagel and continuing on your day, it is #1. If you want to have a nice bagel breakfast, go somewhere else!
The acoustics are horrible. The design is minimal.
If there is any sort of line it goes right up to the dining area.

Incredible value. appears to be under new management as staff is completely different. Kids love the pizza and it is incredibly cheap. 20 shekels for a pie.

After a day of work and with my son, we visited this place twice. It's attached to a food court of a mall. The Seating is in booths- as in old style diner.
The grill and kitchen are in the open and middle of the place- that's distracting.
The background music was loud and it was a challenge to get it adequately turned down.
The food was OK- nothing more than that. I wouldn't order hamburger again, that's for sure, but the spring chicken (pargit) was good.

The three of us found ourselves here again for mid afternoon lunch between work. The new outdoor mall is quite popular and full.
The food is fine and good. The servers are busy but attentive, quick and responsive. They even brought water after only asking once.

It seems that we found our way back here for a quick business lunch. Staff is friendly. One must wait because everything is freshly prepared according to order. The portions are large.
