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.

    Eat at your own risk. Horrific service, bland & not so tasty food. I would rate this restaurant A solid GARBAGE - 2/10!

    The food was delicious, and the outdoor dining area was so beautifully decorated with lush vegetation. Our server was very nice and helpful. We appreciated the way they honored our anniversary celebration with a champagne toast. Very thoughtful!
