Nanuchka

We stumbled across this place by accident and decided to go in for a drink. We then ended up going back several times for the food. The menue is simply amazing and absolutely unique in Tel Aviv.

Never disappointed this is my favorite of all.
Loved it before love it more now can't wait to come back for another amazing dinner and atmosphere highly recommended!

Thinking about going Vegan? Well, Nanuchka's amazing cooking and presentation will allow this transition with no effort.

This is a Georgian vegan restaurant and the staff and food are just incredible. For any vegan or vegetarian visiting Tel Aviv, this is really a place you must not miss.

I love this place

As soon as we walked in, I was excited to eat here. It has a vintage feel. We came for lunch. The menu ranged from 53-64 shekels. With each dish you get a bread, salad, and drink. My husband and I ordered 2 dishes (cutleti and khatchapoiri), and we were not able to finish everything. Both dishes were delicious. I would order than again, but it seems like there is a lot to try here. Outdoor and indoor seating. Seems like a fun place to come with a group and try more dishes.

Good food, but portions too small and a little bit overpriced in my opinion. I was surprised by the fake caviar. cool atmosphere.

food is amazing (check out the chinkali with spinach and nuts!), beautiful atmosphere, very special. everything about this place is pure goodness :)
go Nana!

A real hidden gem, tucked away from the busy streets. Food, service and atmosphere all perfect. Highly recommended.

Lively atmosphere with eclectic decor and belly dancing. Highlights for us were some of the mains: the pilaf and the love balls were very well seasoned! Desserts were very nice too especially the parfait and the chocolate fingers. Appetizers were underwhelming.

Amazing, amazing food. Dozens of choices for vegans. Use of spices is nuanced and unique. A must visit.

There are really few truly vegan restaurants in Israel. I even had one question about this one, but since I didn't order that item, forgot to ask - one menu item has some kind of yogurt dressing, and if it is real yogurt, then it is the one non-vegan menu choice. So check, if you need. There are many vegetarian or vegetarian and fish restaurants in Israel, which typically are very big on eggs and cheese, and the fresh pasta also has eggs, so we came specifically to enjoy a vegan restaurant with a unique menu - Georgian cooking. Three of us dined, and we each chose a different "business meal", which you can have until 5pm. The business meal is definitely a good deal. The bread and salad served with these meals were excellent, and each of us enjoyed the main dish we chose (stuffed vegetables, stuffed round zucchini, and a spinach/tofu pastry), and each was served nicely with tasty additions. My stuffed zucchini had some pureed vegetables as a base, which were spiced very nicely. All the spices, in fact, were very tasty. We ordered a dessert (after all, we were celebrating a birthday), not included in the business meal, and that was a bit pricey. They were chocolate fingers (the choice of the guy with the b'day), and I thought they were on the "too sweet" side.
They could spiff up the rest room - not as clean as would be nice, and could use more lighting. Also, given the number of seats in the restaurant, a second one would be helpful The acoustics could be improved, as well, but otherwise, the atmosphere was pleasant, and the wait staff very helpful and pleasant.
I would like to see them offer whole grain options: whole grain bread, brown rice, etc. The bread, pastry dough, rice, etc. were all white flour, white rice.

Nice atmosphere, amazing food.
If you are vegan it's a must.

Food was great. Staff was friendly and attentive. The stuffed grape leaves starter was to die for. We had the spinach and nut Hinkali and the Pirashki for main dishes...both excellent. The chocolate cake dessert was heaven. All good but I found the portions a bit small and the whole meal sort of pricey.

Our meat eating friends took us because we are vegan, and they used to love the restaurant before it turned vegan. They were willing to give it a try because they loved it when it was a meat restaurant, figuring that a good chef is a good chef. We ordered 3 appetizers, including the salad sampler plate (that is not what it's called, but I cannot find the menu on line right now). The sampler was good, but a bit standard. The two others were really delicious. (One was a pastry with different types of mushrooms.) We also ordered 3 mains, making sure that we chose dishes that would provide different eating experiences. We loved each dish!
One of our friends eats 'gluten free' and was quite happy with the range of options for him.
Since a few people mentioned service, I must add that our service was good enough. We went for a late lunch and the place was relatively quiet. The staff was friendly and attentive.
All in all, we look forward to going back!

I was excited to try the new Nanuchka menu but was deeply disappointed. The dishes were not flavorful and the presentation was mediocre. The cooks clearly have no idea about balanced and healthy vegan and vegetarian meals. Just because you drop the meat Nanuchka it doesn't make it healthy. The service was poor and the waitstaff is not very knowledgeable. I don't understand what the hype is all about.
Save your money there are plenty of other options in Tel Aviv for better and healthier vegetarian and vegan dishes.

I live in Tel Aviv, and I know there's no lack of good vegan food here. Still, I used to go to Nanuchka even before the place went vegan, as the few vegan dishes they had were unbelievable.
Now that the whole menu is vegan one could simply move in there. It's highly recommended to go in big groups if you can, just so you can take everything and get a taste of everything. It's a bit pricey, but a meal to remmember.

Go here for a delicious and memorable experience! The minute you enter, you're in a different world. There are several rooms with an eclectic decor and subdued lighting, also outdoor seating. You can have an intimate table for two or a party of 20, or anything in between. There is also a huge bar which fills up around 10 pm and keeps going until 5 am.

Whether you're vegan or not, you're in for a wonderful and delicious culinary experience. The menu offers authentic Georgian cuisine, and is 100% vegan. There is a terrific selection of starters, and you could even make a meal of a few of these. I especially recommend the platter of seven salads, the "Hinkaly" - savory dumplings stuffed with spinach and nuts, and the "Hachapory" soy cheese-stuffed pastry. All the dishes are excellent, expertly prepared, and unlike anything you've ever tasted! There are salads, breads, stuffed vegetables, stews, and more. And desserts! Try the "Hacht'halla" - it's walnuts coated with a dried grape pudding.

If you're travelling in Israel, definitely come to Tel Aviv to eat at Nanuchka!
