A vibrant, party-like atmosphere where modern Jerusalem-style sharing plates are served over a lively counter pulsing with loud music and theatrical chefs.
Ordering Strategy
Grab a seat at the zinc counter for dinner and a show. Order 2-3 sharing plates per person, starting inevitably with the Kubaneh bread, and be prepared to take shots of arak with the chefs.
What to order
Kubaneh Bread
Described as an 'air-filled, buttery bread from the Yemen' baked in a pot, it is a must-order served with tahini and 'velvet tomatoes'—vines fruits emulsified into a rich, fruity dip.
Shakshukit
A hearty, flavor-packed deconstructed kebab of minced lamb and beef, topped with pistachios and pine nuts, making it one of the most substantial items on the Jerusalem-style menu.
Jerusalem Style Polenta
A legendary house signature served in a small pot; it is 'whipped with a dribble of truffle oil' and topped with curls of parmesan, button mushrooms, and an asparagus spear.
Labneh Tortellini
A standout dish featuring the 'softest of tortellini' filled with labneh cheese, served on a 'thick slick of butternut squash' puréed with confit garlic.

Good to know
The music is loud and club-like, making it a high-energy dining experience. The walk-in friendly front counter offers the best view of the open kitchen, while the back room takes reservations for larger groups or a slightly quieter meal.
