I must’ve passed by this place a million times and never thought to enter, but today a craving for steak got the best of me, and a friend suggested we go there. The steak was perfect. Grilled pitas were also very nice. The salads were average, except for the excellent hummus. The price felt a bit high, but all in all worth it in my opinion. Would definitely go back for more.

There is a reason this place stands firmly while most other restaurants nearby close their doors after 1-2 years. Its the Good old vibe of days gone by when we were young and beautiful. Its a rustic mid east restaurant so you can find various types of Israeli cuisine - stuffed veggies, bean soup, homemade salads and very good meat. If you're looking for hi-end place which prepares meat according to different levels of doneness you're in the wrong place. You can get a juicy Kebab or Chicken skewers or a steak that will feed your soul, not Intellect. A true Israeli Experience that you can hardly find today

I came here 3 times in 9 days in Tel Aviv. The food is great, the service is exactly what you want, straight forward to the point and no ass kissing. As soon as you sit down they bring 3-5 plates of different salads and pickled things. I don’t even know; but it’s hella good. The hummus, roasted lamb and different kebabs are fire and the shawarma plate is also fantastic. Best part is it’s inside a gas station. Highly recommend!

Although the staff doesnt speak English very well, they have menus in English and are very accommodating. Food Quality: very tasty and freshly made. Always a good idea to order some salads and have some fresh Hummus. Portions: very good portions. Definitely had to go for a walk after to help digestion. Drinks: they have quite a few options but just had some water and soft drinks in our case. Price: $ very decent pricing for the food we had. Service: even without completely understanding each other, we managed to get everything correctly and were treated very well. Atmosphere: its a bit odd to find this place at a gas station, but have heard after that many surprisingly good places are hiding in gas stations and have surprisingly good food. Highlights: the grilled meats are very good. Things to improve: its a bit unfortunate with the whole gas station location which i find a bit contradictory, but still a very nice place to get some good food.

Good food without waiting too long. Regular, tasty, not fancy. Oriental good food, excellent hummus.

If you're looking for something simple and pure, just like in the old days, this is the place. it is clean, serves good quality meat, and surprisingly — amazing chips, which is rare for places like this. The vibe is authentic, with many grandpas working there, adding to the nostalgic charm. Nothing fancy — just solid, honest food done right.
