"In the heart of Aventura, a nondescript strip mall houses a restaurant that transports diners to Tel Aviv without needing a plane ticket. Diners are greeted with a complimentary spread of salatim, offering small tastes of beet, corn, and carrot salads. The menu offers a diverse selection of comfort foods that a doting safta (grandma) would serve. Favorites among Israeli regulars include hummus and falafel, Yemenite beef soup, chicken liver with onions, schnitzel, or lamb chops. Wash it all down with a lemonana, a refreshing lemon and mint slushy." - Alona Martinez
