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.

    As usual the food was excellent, as were the drinks. Our waiter was fine, but not really on the ball. I guess we’ve come to expect better service at Hamsa. Maybe he just needs more experience.

    The mushroom skewer is a surprise. Not like you think. Very tasty, spicy, grilled and meat like. Beef tartare not what you think. Light, pomegranate mixed in, delicious. And the cauliflower couscous is so good, enough to share. Picky vegetarians love it.

    It was a great experience. My wife and I came in to celebrate valentines day. We tried the “yala yala” service and it was amazing. What great way to try something new.
