Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Yotam

From the OpenTable editors: With a Moorish arch-framed bar, clusters of olive trees, and colorful Turkish rugs, a meal at this buzzy Israeli spot is a fully immersive experience. Grab a seat in the energetic dining room or on the charming patio for shareable Middle Eastern-inspired small plates, grilled meat skewers, and arak flights. Come on Thursday evenings to be dazzled by belly dancers in traditional garb and beats from local DJs.

    It was a great experience. My wife and I came in to celebrate valentines day. We tried the “yala yala” service and it was amazing. What great way to try something new.

    The food was excellent as always. The service provider was not attentive or communicative and it detracted from the enjoyment of our visit

    It was the worst dining experience in longest time. We ordered two yala yala experience and it was our mistake. They charged the whole experience price for our children as well. Our two little kids didn’t even eat. Think about , they charged us $75 per head ! HAMSA TEAM basically robbed us! Food was average , service was horrible and the attitude of manager was absolutely unfair. I don’t recommend anyone to dine here. Go at your risk if you wish to get robbed . For us , this choice was a terrible mistake!
