We came on a Friday afternoon without a reservation. Our part of four waited 1.5 hours or so but the host brought complimentary beverages (inc. beer) to cool us and the other patrons off. Once we got in, the music was great and the food was even better. The staff have us some recommendations that were awesome. I only wish I'd had more room in my stomach to try to soup!

My friend and I are passionate food lovers and had dinner here last night based on Trip Advisor and another source that recommended this restaurant. It delivered! We ate way more than was necessary just because it all tasted so great. Strongly (!) recommend the brioche bread appetizer, the salad with the citrus dressing, and the grouper cold appetizer. The spicy peppers are HOT. Like almost inedibly hot. We ordered 7 dishes in all and agreed it was one of those meals that you will remember in your life.

Went last night at another person’s request. When it was evident that you need to book months in advance and the prices are skyward, I expected the place to be pompous, overbearing, cocky. It turned out to be a very exceptional evening. The team, chefs and waiters, are very attentive and the chefs present the dishes and explain how everything was done and yes, it could be arrogant, but it was cool, very cool. All members of the team are attentive and responsive and they do it nonchalant, easy going, along with a “no need to take it seriously” smile. In almost three hours we were served twenty very interesting, tasteful, exquisite dishes that were carried out with dedication and fine tuning. The dishes are extremely tiny (wish they would be double, at least…) yet full of flavors and style. It was an evening to remember, we loved it and heartily recommend the place.

We wondered why there was always a queue here. Having eaten here, i now know why. Delicious felafels, complemented by a panoply of fresh spices and additional delights. Next door, its sister establishment serves grilled vegetables in Pitta. Perfect street food

This is such a fun place! I sat at the bar with a friend and the bartenders were really lovely. Our waiter as well! We ordered a few starters (it's kind of a meze place). The food was delicious and the portions generous. The presentation was nice as well. The place really hops on a Thursday night! I'll be back.

Good atmosphere, good service and a nice place to sit and relax in the market.The food is OK+ - I had a Balkan Shakshuka that was served with small sides of salad and a fresh bread.However, the egg in the Shakshuka was a little runny and I was not asked if this is how I like my egg. The restaurant did not have wholemeal or other non-white bread to serve with the dish.The house beer "Malca" is very nice and smooth.Reasonable prices.

Went here on a recommendation of my clients. I can see why this is one of the top restaurants in Tel Aviv. The current location is very cosy. However I understand they will be moving to larger premises within a couple of months.They have three sittings: 6pm, 8pm, 10pm. Don’t bother trying to get in at 8pm or 10pm if you don’t have a reservation.They have happy hour from 6-7pm with discounted pricing.10/10 for atmosphere, service, quality of food. Everything was delicious and moorish. I went alone and so sat at the bar. Other dinners were very friendly and I felt quite comfortable being there in my own. Reasonable prices for Tel Aviv. Definitely try any specials of the day and the creme brûlée lollipops!
