Neighbourhood gem

Crafted by the visionary minds who brought you Doris Metropolitan and Badolina Bakery & Café, Hamsa emerges as a radiant gem in the culinary landscape, celebrating the vibrant flavors of Israel.

Indulge in the symphony of flavors with our salatim, a delightful array of vegetable-based delights that promise to tantalize your taste buds.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Yotam

From the OpenTable editors: With a Moorish arch-framed bar, clusters of olive trees, and colorful Turkish rugs, a meal at this buzzy Israeli spot is a fully immersive experience. Grab a seat in the energetic dining room or on the charming patio for shareable Middle Eastern-inspired small plates, grilled meat skewers, and arak flights. Come on Thursday evenings to be dazzled by belly dancers in traditional garb and beats from local DJs.

Great addition to the River Oaks mall on W Gray. We’ve enjoyed brunch there three weekends in a row and had a great experience on every visit. Highly recommended and outstanding value.

It was delicious, as usual. The wholeshebang was outstanding. We enjoyed the rib eye, chicken thighs, and chicken snitzel. Shaken espressos with butter cake for dessert. Scrumptious!

Service was so horrific that we left. Despite having a reservation we sat for 25 minutes without getting any water from a waiter. Nobody even stopped by to tell us if they would be with us soon

I love Hamsa. The food is delicious and a reasonable price. Our server was great. However ….. lose the 2-hour limit. This is a place to keep ordering. To linger over the food and cocktails. Not sure I’ll go back.
