The food here was pretty good but didn’t wow us. The taste was there but the pastries and fillings were quite dry. I pretty much soaked it in tahini to make up for the dryness. Also, we split 4 pastries, 3 beef and one chicken. The three beef ones tasted nearly the same, we couldn’t tell a difference between two of them, and the third one (the brisket) was definitely the best. We also have the chicken, which was pretty dry, but that’s expected as they are using chicken breasts. The starters were really good. We got the salad, which was well seasoned/dressed and had a variety of toppings that added to the dish and we got the potatoes, which reminded me of a better version of patatas bravas from Barcelona. They were well seasoned and came with two delicious sauces that rounded out the dish. Overall it was the restaurant was really good. There are many options around and this is probably one of the better ones in the area. I recommend.
One of my favorite places near the machine Yehuda Market. The meat is delicious baked in a stone oven and comes with nice little salads there is also a non bred option Wich I took and was really nice. There is a lot of seating areas inside and out
Very good food and even better ambience for a fun night. Service was great. The whole restaurant is a great vibe at night with great music and drinks.
Great place very close to Machane Yehuda market. Kosher place.
Fantastic food. The shambushaks are delicious and very filling.
I had the brisket (A+). It was soft, juicy, and delicious. My partner had the tongue (A+).
They had a mint and coriander sauce which was magnificent.

Great service, amazing food and fantastic atmosphere. Playing electro synth chill tracks was just a bonus. Simple enough concept pies with a selection of meats, served with wedges or salad. Think of them like a cross between a Cornish pasty and a Turkish Pide. I went for the brisket.
Fantastic surprise restaurant. Excellent food and service. Our tour guide recommended this place. It's the place he took his current wife to on their first date. It is not a romantic restaurant in my humble opinion. The food was outstanding though. We had one veal and one brisket Shamburak. A Shamburak is a kurdish-syrian pastry
Brisket was amazing. Syrian kebab ground beef was good but not as epic. The sauces and condiments we got on the side were fantastic. Could not decide on which beer and the server brought some to taste.
Ambiance is casual. It’s crowded and loud. There’s room to sit at the bar and watch the baking of the pies. Also seating outside.
