The plates were pretty , well done , and so tasty. The tempura was so crispy and the raw fish and vegetables so fresh . Best sushi I’ve eaten so far.

So, the fam and I thought, "Why not give our 18-year-old a taste of the good life with a fancy lunch?" Hah! Joke's on us. We sat down at 1pm on the dot - no wait, so at least we were winning for about two minutes. Then in comes our waiter, rocking the beach bum look (I mean, we're in Neve Tsedek, so I guess casual Friday's every day?). We ordered drinks and I was channeling my inner diva, expecting my mineral water in a sparkling glass. What did I get? The bottle. And no glass. Same with the Perrier. Guess we're going caveman style!
1:30pm - appetizers made their grand entrance. Took 'em long enough. But hey, good things come to those who wait, right? Then comes my daughter's fish shawarma. Time ticks on, and... where are my grouper skewers? I channel my inner detective, interrogate the waiter, and he’s all, "Chill, dude, they're coming."
Fast forward to 2pm, and still no skewers. Then comes the plot twist! Our waiter finally admits there was a "bug" in our order and our skewers were never placed. Dude, seriously? Then, to add insult to injury, they still charged us for the phantom skewers! That's some next-level audacity.
And the cherry on top? When the bill came lightning fast, Mr. Beach Bum actually asked, "how much tip you wanna give?" I should've said, "Tips on better service" but I went with 10%. Yep, I'm THAT guy.
Moral of the story: No chef, no matter how Gordon Ramsay-esque, can survive with service this tragic. Bad service is the silent restaurant assassin. Sorry, not sorry, won't be coming back for a sequel.

Located next on the new Railway park, the place is a great spot to enjoy some coffee and sandwiches for breakfast. The egg sandwich had a nice little spicy side to it, which was interesting.
Side note - we do miss the former omelette sandwiches which came with some vegetables and excellent olives on the side, and used to make us happy.

A lovely small place with family like staff. The food is mid to high end middle eastern/Greek. The cocktails are also memorable and worth the $.

7 underage people holding the restaurant and were playing instead of working, waited 20 minutes for a sandwich they starting preparing 20 minutes after i ordered, while there was only 2 other clients, didnt get my chips because i was going to miss my train. (i came to the restaurant 25 minutes in advance). total paid 75 shekels for a sandwich and a coke.
Disgusting rolls and sushi. Very bad quality, nothing similar with Japanese cuisine.

Had a private dinner at Ouzeria next door. Everything was absolutely perfect!! The More Foods vegan dish was the favorite of the night, a plant based protein made from pumpkin and sunflower seeds! Very cool!

By far the best pasta in town .. and I tried them all 😏
Prices are really fair. It’s just super hard to get a table. But if there’s no space, just order take away ♥️

Wow. Great food. Really beautiful cooking. I liked the eggplant as a stater, the bread was on point. I feel that the spicy source plate I took should have been served as a part of the deal though. I would go there again! So should you. My wife said it was a pleasant evening (!)

What a wonderful place! We ordered the special pasta of the evening - Parpadelle with Mushrooms and Meat stock - WOW it was sooo yummy! Surely the best pasta in town @Chef: Keep it on the menu! It takes a bit - they are quite busy - but hey - there is a new winebar just next to it (same owner) - perfect place to wait for the yummy treat! Will come again!

As usual, typical rude Israelis. Service mad horrible. I had to beg for my sauces even the ones that was paid for but NO ONE spoke English. Yong bloke refuse to look me in the eye told me to put the sauce by myself? It was behind the counter?! In the end he chucked me ketchup and mayo on my tray after yelling to give me my sauces. Gave up and walked away. I refuse to deal with stupid.

I love this place for the relaxed atmosphere, sitting on ‘Park HaMessila’ with no traffic around.
The food is good and on point for this sort of place - midsized portions of masterly prepared local ingredients, as expected from the “inspired by Eyal Shani” label.
Perfect for an afternoon or evening hang and a quality bite, not necessarily for for a full lunch or dinner.

One of the better spots for pasta in tel aviv! The pasta is absolutely amazing, the prices are good for the city, and the vibe of Washington ave is always awesome! The service isn’t the best but that’s not what they’re here for. It may also take some time to get a table and get your food.
A must when in telaviv. Woman Chef - complex flavors, aesthetically presented, absolutely delightful.

I went with my friends for lunch the other day and ordered the “Calamari Salad”, this dish was outstanding! The overall experience was a 10/10 and I would heavily recommend going there on a hot summer day, eat fresh vegetables and drink “Gazoz” !

We loved this restaurant. Our service was excellent and our food, delicious. The view was spectacular. We HIGHLY recommend the salmon sashimi! The Jerusalem bagel and Salmon Primavera were excellent as well.

Top notch service!

We are thankful our concierge, Alon, at the Abratel, suggested this restaurant!

Fantastic place. Friendly staff, good music and delicious food. We had the cauliflower, tahini, and house bread to start, all incredible.

And then took the servers recommendations and ordered the grilled artichoke and the rump cuts (steak). Also very good! We will definitely be back!

We went on a Wednesday night and waited about 15 minutes for a table.

Lots of potential in this place.
Service was friendly and relaxed, tables outside on a sunny day where lovely.

The cauliflower, aubergine carpaccio, veal sweetbread and chicken souvlaki were good. Portions are quite small for the price.

The beetroot ravioli was quite bland and disappointing.

Overall good but just expensive for the portion sizes.

A nice sushi place in the middle of the neighborhood. Food is OK, service not so professional but welcoming, and the atmosphere is pleasant. A nice playground outside for the kids. A bit too pricey. A good place to sit if you don't fancy going into the overcrowded city.

We were really hungry when we came in the restaurant and we had no idea that our wait gonna be more than hour. Lots of people were standing around and waiting for the table.

The pasta was really good. The price per pasta around 60-70 sheckels.

Although was it worth the wait? You decide :)

This is one of my favourite bars along the beach. Sitting at the bar the staff are super friendly and it’s likely hanging out with friends even on a first visit. There’s good music and a friendly atmosphere and the choice of food and drinks is great. Toilets are in the adjacent building so make sure you collect a token to avoid being told off by the angry attendant, but otherwise it’s a great spot and somewhere I returned to repeatedly on my stay in the city.

Subpar compared to other Eyal Shani places.

Small portions for a high price and trivial taste.

Also service is not the best I've had 😅

Right on the seaside, opposite the Tel Aviv Marina and Gordon's swimming pool.
The wrapped baked fish was fantastic, and so was the banana "Kadaif", witch is a bizarre combination but it works.
Definitely recommended.

Way too expensive and horrible service. We didn't get half of our order and were sent from worker to worker when we asked for the rest. Definetly not worth your money. I would have rather burned the money and scoured the thrashcans of tel aviv for food. DONT GO HERE.

A Tel Aviv institution. Laid back bar with an excellent menu that changes constantly. This is not the place for refined dining, but the food is very good and on par with a casual restaurant. You can definitely go there for a meal. And they are open every day of the week.

Hands down the best sandwich in Tel Aviv! Comes to ₪64 with a drink. The bread is perfect, holds up to the sauces, veggies, and meat. The meat if perfectly flavored and each bite leaves you feel like they found the perfect flavor matrimony

Most underrated meat sandwich in Israel. Literally heaven on earth and look forward to eating every time I’m in Israel.
Not your traditional sandwich in the Middle East. Not pita bread or shawarma. Instead, grilled sliced meat (similar to cheese steak meat) with amazing sauce and veggies on a warm large bun. Can’t place the type of bread but it’s amazing. Large sandwich too. Big enough to share but you won’t want to! Outdoor seating, but they have heat lamps.

The sandwich was really good and the price is ok (not cheap, not expensive). The only thing that the place can do to improve is to change the lighting at night. It is too bright and right on the benches outside. A softer light (like garland - "grilanda, or ferry lights") would make the place much nicer 😉

Ordered the buns for a TA. Was super frustrated to find out they were glued to the box, and the meat was unchewable...
Could be a one time mistake, or a bad idea for a TA, but still they deserve a low rating!

We had a very nice lunch, within the Carmel Market at Bar Ochel.

Food is delicious (the kebab is really nice !) and the service is very friendly and quick as well.

I'd recommend this as a nice short stop within the Market :)

Awesome music, fast service, happy people and great food.
The food is made of fresh ingredients and is served by joyful young persons. Delicious variety of dishes for every dietary requirement.
I ordered the Jerusalem mix without the pita and my companion got the kebab. It came with baked vegetables and tahini sauce. The small plates on the side were pesto sauce, green hot sauce, tomatoes with garlic and some kind of chimichurri.
I was missing a piece of something fresh next to the heavy flavours and textures, such as a cucumber or bell pepper, or even a tiny side salad to accompany the meal.
The sizes were perfect and the flavours splendid. Prices are fair, and left with a good feeling and a happy stomach.
Thank you! :)

Horrible customer services.
Ordered a burger, when I got it it was with chilli sauce. I had to explain to them twice that chilli is spicey and I can't eat it, and didn't order it. Then I waited 15-20 minutes for them to switch it, while they just kept making the next orders in front of me and not making mine. When I told them why are they not getting started, all my friends have already finished their burgers, I need to get to Beer sheva and they didn't even started with the bun, they kept on not making it and had the nerve to tell me those customers are waiting too. So I had to cancel my order and had no longer time to eat.

Tel Aviv is very high paced with lots of places open and close all the time. Stands out the iconic Minzar, which never disappoints with excellent beer selection, best food you can wish for (in a pub) and awesome signature vibe. Opens early on and always busy with market goers, tourists and later on with loyal crowds to finish the night. This place is a must.

If you love meat, you should try this place. Very fresh and juicy sandwich. If you like a hint of spice, you should add chimmichuri sauce. On my second visit, I asked them to add a fried egg to my sandwich. I just saw someone else had it, so I wanted to try it. You can eat there or take it to go.

An amazing sushi bar, we were 6 people and while we waited for our food the owner brought as some treat to eat while waiting.
He was really nice, also the waiters are cool.
We ordered the tempura combination sushi with the pad Thai noodles, it was fantastic.
The service is amazing, they respond quickly and the food came out not to late.

Located in the middle of the bustling Shuk HaCarmel, this food stand/restaurant is a great choice for a reasonably priced lunch. I had the grilled marinated chicken and grilled vegetables and it was delicious and healthy. It was served with an array of spicy dips and a basket of fresh bread. The food came quickly and the staff was very nice. They also played great music.

Missing a star because 1) the manager/owner (someone who appeared in charge) kept ringing a loud ship bell right where I was sitting for reasons unknown. He seemed to be enjoying it, but I certainly wasn't. 2) they don't let you get your food to-go.

Nice place. Open 24/7 which is very nice. If you want a place which is not crowded, take a sit in the upper floor. It has no wide selection of beers, which is a big downside.
The dishes here are tasty, but not something that you mustn't miss.
Worth a visit if you find yourself around here in a late night hour.
