I love Israeli food and food from the region but this was not it. There was hummus but it was the worst hummus I have ever tasted. There was no tabbouleh, there were no pickled eggplants to name a couple missing items. I would never eat here again. Also I ordered a drink it looked nothing like the picture again! Don't run a restaurant if you can't cook.

Prices were fair and portions were large. Service was so-so, considering that I was the only customer.
