Tel Aviv Yafo Ballina

This cafe/restaurant is incredible. Some of the most delicious food l've ever eaten. Huge highlights were the slow roasted lamb with hummus, and the smoky eggplant dish. The staff were friendly and helpful, the food and coffee were delicious, the kids enjoyed themselves, and it's air conditioned. We will definitely be coming back.

Great spot for breakfast and lunch. Food, coffee and service are so good I'm there regularly. Parking available early and very Ballina central. 👍🙏

What a Beautiful meal, you can tell that there is so much Love put in to every dish. Thank you to the very happy team who served us today, my family absolutely loved every bite 🤤💕

Came in for a light lunch and had the stuffed pita bread. It wasn't the only thing stuffed by the end. Yummy! Refreshing salad with the mince that was fried inside the pita. Coffee good too. Staff very welcoming and happy to add some ice to the table water (which could have been chilled before serving).

Both times I’ve eaten, it has been one of my top experiences at a café or restaurant. The quality and presentation of food shows care as well as passion, and the service was the best I have experienced.

The first dish I had was the sinaia, and recently, the hummus and lamb. Both were the type of dishes that felt nostalgic of home cooking, but were completely new to me. Anytime a dish leaves you smiling goes to show the level of comfort food can provide. Served alongside was the turkish coffee, which was a fantastic experience in itself, not to mention the flavour.

Thank you for your hospitality and care. It’s reassuring to find somewhere this welcoming, calming, and allowing me to enjoy “dolce far niente” in a fast-paced world.

If you are looking for a good restaurant in Ballina, it’s definitively the best for me. I tried different meals and i was always surprise by the flavors and the good taste ! You’ll be not disappointed! Very good coffee too !!

Amazing food! Authentic middle eastern.
Shakshuka was outstanding.
Avo on toast was given a lift with crispy kale.
Turkish coffee is served in an authentic pot.
Moroccan mint tea served in a glass.
Takeaway humus and pita bread was delicious too.
Roy and his staff along with middle eastern music gives the cafe a warm and friendly relaxing atmosphere.
Very reasonable prices.
Can’t wait to try it again Roy.
