So freaking good

We couldn’t decide so went with chefs choice, so good.
Hummus bowl with Jerusalem mix topping served with fresh fluffy pita (I was in heaven) plus pickles. We also got a falafel platter!!!!! Literally can not wait to come back.
Dessert we had the special. Rose water, coconut and nuts what could be better?!?!?

Pros: Fresh, Tasty, Authentic

Closing down

This place is closing down at the end of June 2023.

Which is really sad to see because you can tell the owner is passionate about the food he makes and you can see why once you taste it.

All their pita breads are made by them. I went with the Jerusalem mix salad which contains fable mushrooms (similar texture to mince meat). The trick to eat the pita bread with it is to break it off in small pieces and fill the small piece (a mini pita pocket if you may) with the salad. It was a delicious dish and I couldn’t eat it all. We also tried their homemade lemon and ginger lemon.

We were the only two eating here on a Thursday night so you can understand why they’ve been struggling.

Eat here before it closes down!

Pros: Traditional cuisine , Passionate owners

Nice Israeli spot in a good location. All the staff were very friendly and accommodating and we felt very welcome.

Food came out quickly and we were able to share a lot of it. The food was quite tasty but for the price we paid were expecting a bit higher quality.

I'd recommend this place if you were after some take home falafel and pita but the dine experience isn't that hot.

Pros: Great falafel and hummus

Cons: Bit pricey for what you get
