Seated quickly at 5:30 pm on a Wednesday. Menus brought and ice water. We ordered and they brought warm fresh pita bread and Israeli salads to share. I ordered a rib eye medium done and it came out well done. Had to return it and when the new one came out it was rare. No happy medium. Green beans were delicious. Wife ordered Jerusalem mix with rice which was good. Service was slow, took a long time to get refills on water and more salads! Asked for a to go box and waitress never brought it, I went to the kitchen to ask for one. Food is good but slow service!

“I won’t eat in a restaurant with filthy bathrooms. This isn’t a hard call. They let you see the bathrooms. If the restaurant can’t be bothered to replace the puck in the urinal or keep the toilets and floors clean, then just imagine what their refrigeration and work spaces look like.”— Anthony Bourdain

We ordered lamb, as it tasted very different than lamb we asked them if accidentally brought us something different, the guy replied he couldn't be sure because some food of the menu was cooked somewhere else and then delivered to the restaurant kitchen...speechless situation, never experimented in my whole life, we just decided to get out as soon as possibile from that nightmare without any intention to know what we have eaten.

Amazing food, super tasty dessert and the ambiance is so pretty! I would definitely recommend if you love yourself some nice hummus and pita!

Nice place ,Really good food very similar to what I had in Israel!We enjoyed the service and left the restaurant with a lot of food to take home (the portions are more then enough (: !!! )Definitely will come back !♥️

Came here on V-day. It’s decorated nicely / modern. Nicer than we thought, we were wearing hoodies and jeans lol.Lovely spot for a date or special occasion or just a nice dinner.Lots of food, it’s like Israeli tapas. You will not be disappointed. I got the Lamb kabobs and my husband got the Jerusalem. We both enjoyed our entrees and left very full. We have a whole bag of leftovers too! I’ll definitely be back and bring guests from out of town.

Tasty, fresh Mediterranean/Israeli food. Good portions, nice clean dining room with ample seating. Ample parking and close to other convenient shopping like kosher supermarket, Judaica and more. Overseen by local vaad.

Pros: The restaurant looks nice. The pita and sides that come with entrees are a nice touch.Cons: The schnitzel is not good. The service is extremely slow. I won't be coming back.

Wonderful food. Great service

Ordered take out 45 minutes before the pick up time. They call me at the time it's supposed to be ready and tell me their out of chicken liver. Why did it take 45 minutes to realize that?The burger was supposed to have a challah bun. See attached photo. Far cry from a challah bun.We Ordered a side of pita and never got it.I emailed them with this feed back and asking for a refund for the pita we never recieved and they never responded. Poor customer service and what their menu says and what they provide are different
