The atmosphere is great, the food is tasty, and the coffee is excellent.

Enjoyed a light lunch at a restaurant in the Jaffa Flea Market with a vibrant food and drink atmosphere.

I have never written a review for a restaurant, whether good or bad. However, this restaurant definitely deserves one. Let me start by saying that the music was extremely loud, making it hard to hear the person sitting next to you. The service was subpar, with the staff taking nearly 20 minutes to come to our table to take our order. The food and service seemed to appear out of nowhere once we placed our order (drinks, appetizer, 2 main dishes). The appetizer arrived promptly within 5 minutes and was tasty, but one of the main dishes came out just 30 seconds later, making for a disappointing dining experience. It was cold and overcooked, as if it had been sitting out for a while. The other main dish arrived 40 minutes later, with an apology for forgetting about dietary restrictions that had been stressed. Unfortunately, the dish was still incorrect. Overall, the night was a forgettable experience and this restaurant has now hit rock bottom on my list. Despite asking the waiter twice, our drinks never arrived. I have had incredible food and service all over the world, especially in Israel, but this restaurant clearly lacks care in both aspects. From the chefs to the waiters to the hostess, the restaurant industry may not be the right fit for them.

This place is awesome, I’ve been there once so far with my family and we ate Masabaha and vegan Pizza from Mimi and some other dishes, the prices were fine and the service was ok, the place is in the middle of the Jaffa flea market and us a really nice vibe.. more vegan options would be highly appreciated but overall great place to enjoy an evening with some family/friends, have a couple of beers and some food

Great cocktails and food, the pasta is particularly good. 5 stars also for the local cat who will visit you there for cuddles.
