Water side dining at night is always a great experience. A whole grouper, cooked perfectly with all the salads...just delicious.
The food served here is really good, I ordered the home made kebab meat which I was very happy with.
About 20 or so mezze plates arrived at the table with many middle eastern dips and side dishes plus flat breads.
For the first time visitor /traveller a bit of cautionary advice if allergic or dislike cats to consider eating elsewhere as there are at least 6+ cats moving around the outdoor space hoping for food.
Table service was entertaining to be part of, the staff were very hospitable with a dash of dry sense of humor thrown in.

Manta ray was lovely !
It's been such a long time since I got so pleasantly surprised eating out in tel Aviv
The portion sizes were generous
The flavours were delicious
The service was absolutely fab !
After eating out in Tel Aviv and being disappointed one time after the other from pretentious restaurants with bland food , this restaurant was a fresh breeze
I'd highly recommend the Ossobuco ( for meat lovers ) seafood, and Crème Brûlée.

Nice restaurant. Good food. Bit expensive but in line with Tel Aviv prices. Very friendly service
The first dinner at Israel. It was good mostly. (Except the cabbage) The limonade was tasty, and i loved shrimps also.
The wait for each service was long but it's a big restaurant so I understand, there are seats inside and outside, I've sat right infront of the beach like I usually like to do 💕🌴🌊🌊 and the food was very good, it is quite on the expensive side but got definitely full from the plates I had 🙏 god some good crab meat pasta 🍝 and bread 🍞 service was really kind, they didn't mind me filming, and enjoyed my time with no rushing and all good beach breeze 💕
The food was good, however, for this price range one can expect a bit more creativity and more neat presentation.
For a restaurant of this category, the service has to do better. It took almost an hour after seating til we got the first course. The regular staff could not tell us what the house wine was and the senior staff who could help us then seemed to have forgotten our order.
All in all, I expect more from a restaurant in this price range. Good, but nothing to write home about.

Great atmosphere, great food, great service, the owner is super nice and gave my friend who was celebrating her birthday a cactus plant she liked from the counter :)
One of the top spots seafood destinations to visit when in Tel Aviv. Even if you’re a local, it’s OK to go there twice a week. It’s GOOD!
If you are looking for great seafood and excellent seaview, this is the place to come.
The restaurant is full almost all the time and reserving a table in advance is highly recommended.
The variety of seafood dishes are impressive and delicious.
We have been here multiple times and the service remains efficient and friendly.

Daniel was an exceptional server, very patient and gave great recommendations.
The food was phenomenal, the cauliflower was to die for and the espresso martinis were delicious!

Another great dinner at Shila. Food is exceptional as is the service. Sommelier Zur is world class. Can’t wait to go back again.
It’s not a tourist trap, believe me. I live here, but look like tourist🥹..
just surprised to find out this wonderful restaurant, located on the beach, and if you’ll sit on the deck terrace at the evening, you will enjoy the only one view - the sea 🌊 accomplished with tasty meal. As you can see, we ordered a seafood plates to share with aperol cocktails, it was delicious. The staff are very kind.
(Yes, it’s not cheap. But nothing cheap in this country..).

I went there with colleagues to have lunch today. English menu and Hebrew menu doesn't show the same prices. English prices are not the ones you pay for. I ordered a dish for nis39 but at eventually I paid nis69. Even if we showed them the card and the waitress and the waiter took responsibility they didn't want to make a discount to us. Actually I won't ever go there and I don't recommend that place either. Food is good, it's also expensive but nothing exceptional (despite tourists prices and local prices).
Edit of 20.09.2023. I called Amir who is supposed to be the owner of the place and he asked me to call him due to my previous comment. I asked for a refund. He pretended to not understand what I said and then he hung up on me. Very very very RUDE.

One of our favorite places in Jaffa. Great food and atmosphere, very local and not touristic in nature.
The fish are always yum and the complementary salads as well.
We’ll definitely be back for the 100th time :)

Very good place for food. We tried Sea bream fillet, thai red curry, Shrimp pasta and we loved it. Garlic bread is also very tasty and recommended.
We had a great experience in Manta Ray. The food was tasty, the service was nice and the view was incredible.
We made reservation in advance and it was around sunset time and with the amazing food and wine, it turned into an unforgettable memory.
All the seafoods were very fresh and nicely cooked. The starters were rich in option and flavor.
I definitely suggest this place for a nice seafood experience in the city.

Truly unbelievable experience. Food was 10/10, but what was the most incredible was Shalom the owner, made a table for my family out of thing aware. Very attentive and wonderful owner. Please go next time in Tel Aviv!
The atmosphere was nice and our service was very attentive. We had both sushi and noodles, and they were fine (good quality fish).
Apon arrival we’ve been told that there is no available tables even if 50% of restaurant was empty. Later the owner approached us and gave us table and provided incredible service. The waiter went above the expectations. Food was amazing, very fresh and locally sourced. At the end we talked to the lady who owns the restaurant and she was so kind and amazing. We even got some secret gem tips for other restaurants from her! Worth visiting for sure!
Went to Goocha on recommendation.
It was all round a pleasant experience.
The Aperol Spritz - 7/10. Was a pleasant spritz - I quite like that they mashed up the orange abut for a more citrusy experience.
It’s so hot in Tel Aviv that the ice melts so quickly and your Aperol becomes so watered down that you may as well be drinking water and a shot of cough syrup.
The meal was lovely.

Loved the fish restaurant! Great ambiance, friendly staff, and delicious seafood dishes. Can't wait to go back!
What should have been a nice, tasty Shabbat dinner was ruined by the staff. When we sat down, everything seemed great. They brought out lots of salads and everything was tasty. But then the staff started to ruin the evening for our group of 5.
To order anything, had to ask 6 times. Every person of the waitstaff pointing to someone else and saying they couldn’t take the order but it was someone else.
The fish came out. 5/6 dishes were very dry.
But then the real problem started. The check came and they overcharged us for food we didn’t order. Also, they added an auto gratituity of 12%, but then at the bottom of the bill it said in big letters, “no service included”. A flat out lie to trick unsuspecting customers.
And then we waited another 15 minutes with the bill until we figured out you had to go to the other side of the restaurant, an entirely different building to get in line and pay.
As we were waiting for the slow line to move, we talked at a normal jovial tone. Some lady decided that we were enjoying ourselves too much and started to shush us like little children.
At this pointed, I lost it. After waiting for beers or even to order a drink for 30 minutes, after having to fight and beg someone to even look at us, after being forced to run around and figure out how to pay, I was treated like a child in grade school.
AND THEN I REALIZED THE WOMEM WAS A WAITRESS! I asked her why she thought she could shush me?
She said that she wanted to make sure the surrounding patrons had an enjoyable time.
WHERE WAS THIS CONCERN for patrons the previous 2 hours we spent in the restaurant?! She said it wasn’t rude to shush in Israel, I’ve lived in Israel for 5 years. NEVER have I received this service even in a movie theatre.
If you want dry fish and a very rude and inattentive staff, this is your place. Otherwise, AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Much better options all around.

Exceptional Dining Experience at Pankina!
Pankina delivers an outstanding kosher Italian experience right in the heart of Tel Aviv. The pasta dishes truly stand out with their fresh ingredients and exquisite flavors. The starters, too, are impressive and set the perfect tone for the meal to follow. What makes the dining experience even better are the kind and attentive waitstaff who make you feel right at home. But the real heart of the place lies in its amazing owners who bring a unique warmth and hospitality to the table. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a stellar dining experience!"

One of the best in the area, the sea food meals are perfect! Totally recommended
Easy going fish and seafood restaurant at the old Tel Aviv port, just in front of the sea next to the famous boardwalk.
This is a super nice place to enjoy a drink feeling the breeze and watching the sunset, or having a nice dinner with fine fish dishes with local touch which provides you with a touch of local flavors with fine dining.
The white fish with butter and lemon sauce is amazing and the fried cauliflower is a must. They have a good wine list although it is a bit pricey.

The restaurant offers delightful and delicious side dishes in a pleasant atmosphere. However, the menu seems somewhat limited, and the fried calamari, while tasty, appears to be a common option and is on the pricey side. The service was a mixed experience, with some waiters being very attentive and customer-oriented, providing excellent treatment. On the other hand, there were a few who appeared disengaged and lacked a friendly demeanor, possibly indicating a lack of enthusiasm in their work.
Probably the best seafood restaurant in the area, great atmosphere and A+ service.
Food is delightful with changing specials menu, lots of dishes from sea and land.
Also on Mondays there's a Mussels special with a very comfortable price.

We went for a spontaneous mid-week lunch the day before our daughter's wedding just to give ourselves a minute to slow down and have a nice quiet moment.
I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of the business lunch menu.
Everything was super tasty. The service was great, nice young people that weren't shy or weird. They were engaging and lovely!
And one makes gorgeous jewelry!

Very tasty food, excellent specials and lovely atmosphere for lunch meetings
Surely its a nice place , very close to beach 🏝️. Unfortunately they are only entertaining groups with bar. I got disappointed when I just asked for food , they said not available without bar
Hope this will help individuals who is just looking for food

Very taken back with how delicious this meal was! Very reasonably priced for a Tel Aviv city center restaurant. Would for sure come back here!
One of my all time favorites in Tel Aviv. Great dishes and staff. Coming here on a mid-day after visiting the sea is a most refreshing experience. Having dinner is also fun and always tasteful.
The owner and manager are great -- the waiters are very slow and not attentive. You need to waive them over to your table when you want to order ( after waiting for 20 minutes for them to even look your way ) --- you need to wait another 15 minutes to get the bottle of water you ordered...... If this restaurant strives to be an upper scale Italian kosher place it needs to change its waiters or re-train them
The food is good though, especially the tiramisu -- very yummy!!!!!!!!!

The price is too hight for such a low quality food. Simply boiled pasta mixed with fried regular mushrooms and a piece of a melted, dried-up piece of cheese that can not be bitten and it's 80 shekels...really?! It didn't even have any souse... and Tiramisu wasn't a real Teramisy..just cream and cookie.
A friend of mine ordered a portion of salmon and it was so tiny small so..didn't worse 100+ shekels...usually if portion is small - it tastes delicious but not in this case..usual homefood

Hip and busy, Shila was recommended to us as a top tip for a great dinner. The seafood was incredible and went well with the great white wines on selection. A little on the pricey side if you indulge in the wines!
Shtsupak is a seafood restaurant that exceeded all my expectations. The mazzes were absolutely amazing, bursting with flavors and perfectly complementing the fresh seafood dishes. The service was friendly and attentive, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Shtsupak for an unforgettable seafood feast.
We tried White Pergola this evening and the food was absolutely beautiful. The flavour was out of this world. Not to mention the atmosphere in the place, it was buzzing. The staff were delightful and provided outstanding service.We would highly recommend this restaurant. Will definitely come again.
Good and comfortable place! Tasty mussels in wine. Excellent service! Thank you)
Very pleasant place of Asian food and sushi with very pleasant and inviting atmosphere and tasty food!
Really lovely food, very fresh and generous portions. But some of the waiters look like they absolutely hate their jobs. Complete disgrace how they are allowed to work in customer service. When asked about wine he just barked some inaudible words. Hence why only 3 stars. Shame, because if they only made a little effort to be nice, would give 5 stars, as food is stunning.
Great food and service. It's expensive but not overpriced - at least for Tel Aviv restaurant standards.
If you plan on eating there during peak hours a reservation is highly recommended.

Wow! Die Seebrasse und das Barsch-Kebap mit Meeresfrüchten waren exzellent: Danach glaubt man an Gott. Gute Weinkarte, extrem freundliches, aufmerksames und zuvorkommendes Personal. Absolute Empfehlung!
Fantastic fish and seafood place in Jaffa (not kosher). We had a wonderful time.
We had the mezze service, cooked shrimp in butter (A), and the grey mullet, half fried and half grilled as recommended, (A+).
I would certainly return. I think they also had live music.

Always good service and food. Hope the prices don't go up and we'll keep coming
Gorgeous food with the typical Israeli hospitality with generous portions of delicious fresh flatbread with many dips and sales, a welcome drink and even a free mini dessert. My only complaint is they don't serve alcohol, a cold glass of wine is a must for me with a meal like this or it just isn't the same. Still 5/5 though! Oh...and the eggplant dish is out of this world!!
Helpful, friendly staff, buzzing atmosphere, outstanding dishes - the seafood squid ink pasta is a standout. A memorable dining experience for our anniversary. Chapeau!
Everything was absolutely perfect! Service was wonderful, fast and friendly! The salads, limonana, and lafa bread spread we were welcomed with was incredible. And the fish our table enjoyed was delicious. Highly recommend this location and cannot wait to be back on our next visit to Israel.
A delicious and filling meal. The photo is just of the salads and bread provided before I ordered. Had I finished those, I'd not had any room for my main course. Grilled grouper & salmon kebab was several small chopped chunky fish patties. Tasty, though not what I expected.
For some reason there is no good sea food in Israel. This was supposed to be one of the best sea food restaurants. It was better than most of the sea food restaurants in Israel, but that's a low bar to pass. Food was OK - 1.5x overpriced.
The main reason to come here is for the view - you have a direct view to the sea.

A very pleasant and slightly unusual place. Unusual due to the fact that this is not one whole place, but a couple of small enclosed spaces with a "courtyard" between them. Clean and nice with good staff.
My wife and I ordered one large portion of fish for two persons(Locus), a couple pieces of hot bread and two glasses of wine. The fish turned out to be little more expensive than I expected(It was an advice of the waiter, not from the menu), but it was good. We really liked it.
P.S.: About photo of their bar, according to the administrator's words, at that moment, the bar was not yet fully ready.

Everything was so delicious and well cooked. The fish was not dry or over cooked it was perfect. The asparagus sauce they paired with it was also very complimenting to the flavour and texture of the fish. My son loved his fish and chips and everyone at the table enjoyed their fish dishes and salads as well. Great location with tasty food you will not be disappointed by. I recommend this place if you find yourself by the old port of Tel Aviv.
Huge amount of free food. It was amazing, the most delicious shrimps 🦐 in my life! Service is a bit slow, prices good as for Tel Aviv
Fantastic spot for fresh seafood in Tel Aviv! It was nice to be welcomed with a set of small plates to share as soon as we sat down. Very good fried calamari and shrimp/scallops sautéed in butter garlic sauce. Would come back here again, even if it’s a little out of the way!
Lovely place. Went for lunch. Had a tasty Israeli white wine. Attentive service, beautiful platings, and tasty food! Octopus appetizer, shrimp and gnocchi, and thyme ice cream - all wonderful!
Service was very quick. You definitely pay for the location, but the quality of the food is also on the upper level. Nice wines, good fish. Not the biggest menu (which is good, focused), but there should be something for everyone to be found, also for those who don't like fish (like me). Desserts were very good!
Another great find in Tel Aviv. If you are visiting, please give this establishment a try. The food is fantastic. Seasoning was on point and the service was great!
Amazing seafood starters, sabiche and tartar were delicious! Good wine selection. Pricey, but it worth every shekel. Service was OK bit doesn't really match the food level. Overal highly recommended.
3 people table, we shared prawn dish + fresh sea fish
They bring to the table fresh tapas with some pita bread everything was fresh and nice.
The main courses of fish and prawns were cooked to perfection.
Service was kind and helpful.
The only down side: Very pricey 250 nis per person. (tip included)

Great food. We had family dinner and ordered 4 of the first course dishes, one of them doubled. Five of the main course dishes and three from the dessert list. I liked every dish I have tested.
One of the main dishes was fillet of gilthead fish, It was tasty, gently cooked, but few small bones were found. Other dishes were wonderful.
Prices are fair and even low, relative to Tel-Aviv high level restaurants and even for places with much low level of food and service. Very recommended

Fabulous and authentic kosher Italian food. First time I’ve ever given compliments to the chef, after 4 years of Aliyah. The food was all fresh, tasted so thoughtfully made, yet nothing felt over the top or pretentious. The chefs are Italian and the manager too I believe. The service was also good, and the ambience European-chill. They ensured that we got our food very quickly due to our rush. Highly recommend the pistachio crusted tuna steak, which is red inside exactly like I wanted, it came with the side of the day which was grilled veggies on mashed potatoes - even those were way above your average Israeli grilled vegetables quality. Not too oily, but thoroughly cooked and seasoned just enough. The mashed potatoes were buttery. Even the salad which is one of the most cliché things you can order in a restaurant in Israel was not roughly out together at all - it was perfect from all perspectives - freshness, balance of taste profile, amount of dressing… last but not the least, the tiramisu is made the classic Italian way - full of flavor of the expected ingredients, not too dense, nor sickly sweet mousse-like which is how some local bakeries make it.
Seriously, I already want to go back. Don’t miss this if you’re in central Tel Aviv!

Great place with a nice atmosphere. Delicious food, especially the sea food section.
Will definitely revisit.
Cheeseburger was perfect, although the fries were too oily for my taste.

This Asian restaurant serves the BEST asian cuisine in Jaffa, if not in Israel! We were 7 in our group and the moment we walked in, we were greeted by Natalie and led to our table. Gave us the menus and waited patiently to get our orders.
While we wait for our food, she brought 2 free appetizers so we can munch on something - their bread with homemade hummus (really delicious) and breaded cauliflower and cucumber with its own sauce.
If you have tried Asian cuisine before, you may be familiar with the name of the dishes and may look the same as you have tried before BUT, do not make the mistake of thinking that ALL Asian food taste the same, we got all the ones we knew and they all never tasted familiar, each dish presented a unique taste and texture!!! From fried rice with shrimp, fried fish, sushi salad, buttered calamari and shrimp, egg rolls and to top it off, their on the house coconut dessert --- every dish was top notch!!!
Thank you for making our first time trip to Jaffa a fantasic experience at your restaurant! Kudos to the chef and staff of Jasia!

Im really going to enjoy writing this review, as it's a one off imho. First, bad points, the place is a hole, plastic tables and chairs, not welcoming, quite dirty, impersonable - hurded in an rushed through to get you out. It's open Friday night, so is very busy then, which is why we reserved a table - needn't have bothered- they just ignored that and sent us to the back of the queue. We eventually got sat and presented with the most ridiculous array of meze dishes, maybe 25 or so, Inc bread and a jug of sweet lemon drink. Then.. we were given the menu. Nobody explained any if this to us - and they won't to you, so here's how it works. The massive salad meze is served to everyone (you'll get the same size and amounts if you're alone as you will for 4 people - but it'll keep getting replenished if it runs out - which it won't.. ever. If you choose any main course, then the meze is free, otherwise it's 60sheks per person without a main. My menu was whipped out of my hand before id even looked at it, but we ordered the sea bass and a lamb kebab (even though I was told it was beef - it was fairly l definitely lamb). Then we were asked if we didn't mind moving tables, and I don't mean moving to another table, i mean, picking the table - food and all - up and pushing into a corner. We did that too.
I wouldn't describe any of the food to be absolutely top notch, but I would say that it's fantastic for the type of food and place. The sea bass was fresh and very well cooked, and the kebab (which I only ordered on principle) was excellent. Id say half the meze dishes were fab, basic fresh and perfectly oversized, the other half were merely very good - mostly no frills - but solid performers.
Stuffed isn't a strong enough word, and I really had to restrain myself, as im a fat pig. We even took a container full home with us, no qualms, no hesitation (some reviews have mentioned not being able to do so, but we did without fuss).
A few fried honey puffy balls (whatever they were) later, and coffee too - all part of the freebies - enough was enough.
Finally.. the bill.. different reviews quote different prices, and I was expecting some snag or catch.. but no.. kebab was 84, sea bass was 119 - total 203sheks before tip, about £50. Nothing else is charged.
So in essence, it's a 3 star place, the food quantity takes it to a 4, the quality goes up to beyond a 5, therefore i really want to give this magic hell hole a 6.. imagine if they sorted out the negatives.. they'd be a 7/5 stars phenomena.
Well done guys, and shame on you at the same time...

The mixed starters that come complimentary (provided each diner has a main) are great - picked herring, coleslaw, beetroot, salad, fish roe dip - don't eat so much that you can't have your mains! The mains - mussels, fried fish, calamari + shrimp - were all good quality. Overall experience was good though the two service staff were clearly stretched with the busy dinner service. Super friendly though! Price is very decent with wine.
The restaurant is a well-known legendary place in Israel. The spacious spot, set on the Jaffa port, overlooks the sea. It’s a whole experience. They will serve you a pitcher of freshly squeezed lemonade and 22 (yes, 22!) small tasting plates upon sitting alongside freshly made hummus and Arabic bread straight from the oven! They will serve all these and is included in your bill whether you like it or not so you might as well try them all. Dessert and coffee are included in your bill as well.
DON'T HESITATE... best restaurant I've ever been to in any country! Wow the food is so fresh. I am a fisherman and this was very very fresh fish! Great chicken and lamb too and the portions are HUGE!
As we all know the service can make or break your dining experience. Service was phenomenal, such a wonderful experience to see fast and amazing team work, obviously great management! Our waiter was William, wonderful and so gracious and friendly! GO GO GO :) Oh and very clean!

We came to this amazing place. The service was exceptionally fast. As soon as we sat down we got the Pita and numerous salads. They refill salads as soon as they notice you finished something. The main dish was excellent also. At the end you get tea or coffee and some mini donuts filled with honey. Easy parking.
Do yourself a favor a visit this amazing place!
The entry course is a variety of extremely delicious different flavors. At the time, if you ordered two main dishes you got the entry for free, but after the amount of food one main dish for two is more than enough.
Would recommend it with closed eyes.
Also the location of the restaurant is beautiful to go for a relaxed walk afterwards

Amazing breakfast. We took Fisherman's breakfast and Cheese Bourekas. Everything was super fresh and tasty. Tarama sauce and salmon were delicious. So as the coffee. Highly recommend. Also the ambiance is good - you can enjoy the view of the sea especially if you sit on the sofa at the front row.
This isn't our first time in Jasia restaurant, but eventime we eat there we really enjoy the quality of the food, it's the tastiest Asian food in the area, they are generous with their serving sizes, the most welcoming owners we have ever met very friendly down to earth people, the owner even went and made our meals himself to make sure we enjoy every bit of it.
The staff is also very professional, friendly and amazing really.
You might go in having a bad day, but for sure you'll get out with a smile on your face having had a nice experience, I'm sure you'll enjoy the rest of your day! 😍
Although i didn't get a chance to take pictures of all what we had but some of the dishes I did..

Food is simple but perfect. Amazingly fresh fish used in ceviche, carpaccio full of taste, great bread, fresh sea food.
A little disappointing ribeye steak - we asked for medium and got almost deadly well done 🤣 however the staff was sweet, friendly and offered us very tasty dessert “on the house”. So in the end we really enjoyed everything. After all - it’s fish/seafood restaurant, not a steakhouse

Super location on the water’s edge and brilliant staff make for a high class meal here. All the service is top notch and professional, from taking food orders and the serving of wine. It’s always busy and understandably so once you get the food, which is served quickly considering. Presentation is great and the flavours and portion size wonderful. Even if you’re only after a drink there’s seating around the bar which has great service too and worth recommending. Overall it’s a fantastic spot and one of my favourites on the seafront in the city.
Birthday at Shila. If you’d like to eat fish in Tel Aviv this place is number one.
My husband booked us a table for 3 persons and we’re with a stroller and 3 months old. At 17 on Saturday there’re few people and we sat outside.
Service were amazing, waitress knew all menu and helped us to choose the best dishes.
We got 2 main dishes and one from the “in between” section.

Came in as a family for lunch. Service is fast and every good. Waiters are very professional, smiling and accomodating.
Food was great : we had shrimps, gnocchi and grilled fish. Tiramisu was a great finish for a wonderful lunch.

Went for a birthday lunch. Ordered a table on the website. We took a table inside, to be in the air conditioner. There is outdoor seating too, which is great.
We were 4 adults, ordered special house cocktails, all were perfectly done. Ordered the 2 shrimps dishes, both were fantastic. So was the kebab dish and the plate of small fish fried in a light batter. We took the wild rice salad which was very good and the fish & chips plate that was great. Took desserts that were an art piece each.
Go there, the service is wonderful, the food is fantastic and the atmosphere is good. It’s worth the price.

TL;DR Great seafood for a reasonable price.
We have been going to Goocha for many years now to celebrate birthdays and it never lets you down. The food there is always fresh tasty and the service is good.
This time it was adults only so it was even better ;)
We ordered:
Drinks:
- Sailor "G" that was nice.
- Citrus mojito - that was sweeter so I liked it more.
Starters:
- Calamari plancha - it was tasty but only 4 pieces of calamari in it.
- Garlic bread - it was excellent - It was hot and slices and the garlic butter was already buttered on each slice. We ordered another one.
- Hamachi sashimi - it was really good
Mains:
- Vegetarian Mokeka - was nice.
- Garlic & butter shrimps - was really good.
- Calamari & Shrimp red curry - was good
For dessert we took the Tiramisu that was nice
Prices are really reasonable and you can get 15% off if you order before 19:00 on a weekday
Parking is available on the adjacent parking lots it's TLV so it's expensive.

100% nostalgia. Coming here every time we visit Tel-Aviv. So worth it.
The team is super welcoming, the dishes are comforting and sophisticated.
Salads given generously as much as needed.
Fish and seafood made each with perfect bite

Excellent fish restaurant. We came for dinner on a friday night without reservations and had to wait for about 40 minutes, but it was worth the wait. We absolutely enjoyed the salads that were served as starters (which are all refillables), the fish we had ordered as mains was delicious and very fresh. The wine we ordered was very good as well (Rose').You also get at the end coffee or tea on the house which was great. Service was efficient and friendly. Definitely a favorite! Would come back again :)
Excellent food with great food and stylish ambience. The restaurant provided a complimentary appetizer trio of tahini with a splash of sweet and sour sauce, yogurt, pickled vegetables, and bread. To my surprise, the fusion of flavors worked very well together. I ordered the massaman curry (which came with basmati rice flavored similarly to a biryani). The entree was delicious and curry portion was substantial (although I ended up needing to order some extra white rice).
The service was prompt and friendly, with easy communication in English. The restaurant and bar are well-designed with a relaxing music choice. I would highly recommend trying out this place if in the area!

Excellent and flavorful. Had the meat plate and seafood platter and was not disappointed. The flavors are amazing and you can’t describe them. Mix the different sides with the meat and the flavors are out of this world. The service is great and views of the sunset from here are awesome. It’s a place you have to visit if u are here or passing through.
I had had tastier and cheaper food.
The service was very pleasant, they kept bringing more and more of the salads you receive with the main course. We took the spring chicken and the hamburger which were 89 shekels each, leaving the table with 200 shekels bill, didn't get anything to drink.

You just need to stop everything you are doing and go to JASIA right now!!!!!
This is one off the best restaurants I have ever been!
The food was so incredible that I was no able to talk at all.
I ordered the shrimps with the mash potatoes and it felt like heaven😍 my sister ordered noodles with entrecôte and she didn’t let me try it because she wanted all for herself. We split together a sushi roll with cheese. It was delicious.
The staff was so nice, kind, lovely and incredible they gave us some on the house dishes that was so good as well. We even got Malabi on the house that was the best one I have ever eat.
So really, you have to go to JASIA.
It is incredible
