Small but cosy place. From the moment we entered, the welcoming atmosphere and attentive staff made us feel right at home.
The food was fresh and delicious.
I highly recommend.
*Forgot to mention, the place is pet friendly.

Positive ambiance. Great service. Good food. Get there early to find parking.

We made reservations for a packed Thursday night for the 8 of us and got a table in the lounge. They also have sidewalk seating.

The place has real good ambiance: great music, cool vibes, easygoing clientele and friendly staff.

I was the only vegan in the group. The restaurant doesn’t have a lot of vegan options, but what they do offer is alright.

I ordered the Beyond burger. It’s a small portion, but comes with a side dish. I got the sautéed greens.

As with most Israeli restaurants, this one is also weak on condiments. No bbq sauce or mustard. I don’t think they’ve ever heard of relish. And the bun wasn’t toasted enough. So, the burger, although made well, lacked the wow factor.

Watch out: the fries are deep fried with chicken and stuff.

The almond latte was just okay.

The vegan dessert - a chocolate mousse pie - was terrific! Even the non-vegans loved it.

The bathroom - only one stall and no urinal - was reasonably clean. The sink needs a scrubbing. The decor was calming, but the scent should be more natural (not so synthetic) to hide the bleachy smell.

All in all - a really nice experience.

Awesome place!
The food is just great, big dishes, afordable prices (3/5) and taste good.
Open on weekendd and not too busy. The service is great too.
Parking is a bit of a problem on the evenings.

The food was good and fast service. We order schnitzel , crispy chicken, rice with chicken curry, wings and home fries, pure and fries.

The schnitzel was good and tasty
The crispy chicken is a schnitzel inside a bun. The bun was really good.
The rice with curry chicken with tahini was good and tasty in my opinion needed a little bit more of curry sauce the tahini made it heavy.
The wings are with chilly and were nice (average)
The homefries also were good with amore of sauce
The pure was parve
The fries were from the bag not made in the place but there were extra crispy and good (in my opinion a little bit salty)

Tasty, good vibe, awsome location. The toast bucket is amazing great idea. I loved it all.

Nice place for a cup of coffee and a slice of cake, but isn't accessible for disabled people and I'll explain further.
We came for coffee and nibbles/ light dinner, myself, my disabled brother and his wife. There is no accessible entrance, no accessible restroom which automatically ruled out the option for to come back again and not supporting equality for all.
The coffee was okay. The food was great but the pricing is like going out for a gourmet restaurant and not like a normal coffee shop. The service was very nice and welcoming. The atmosphere was like you're sitting in a bar with loud music which I don't see the reason they'll do that at this time of the day (we were there at 18:30-20:00).
Overall we enjoyed but the equality and pricing is very important as well.
I might come back to this place but DEFINITELY NOT FOR DISABLED PERSON or accompanied with one.
