Hamarakia (המרקייה)

I loved this place. We took 2 soups, both were incredible and everything else on the menu looks just as good. The place itself has a very personal touch, probably with the owner's preferences... its very nice! Totally recommended for those colder Jerusalem nights, a good soup and a beer. Totally recommended!!!

so cozy and everything is super homie and delicious here! especially loved the pea soup. exactly what we needed on a cold rainy day

A real gem. Vegetarian place, lots of vegan options, all the soups and the salads, great hummus and even a cookie for dessert. Great vibe, cozy, and good AC so you can enjoy a soup during the hot summer. Decent prices, maybe a bit pricey. We took onion and mushroom soup, hummus and frike salad.

Great soup, great vibe, just great!! Come for a date, catch up with old friends, warm up with a brimming bowl and bask in the ambiance.

Hamarakia offers hot soups in a warm and familiar atmosphere: even if difficult to find on the street, once inside you will be surrounded by old fashioned stuffs. Prices and tips are a little bit less familiar and warm.

Very delicious vegetarian food and friendly service. I tried a sweet potato soup, hummus and a salad. Everything was fresh and delicious. A chilled small place, not touristy, liked it very much.

This is a very special restaurant to me - not just because the food was so fresh, delicious and in a big portion with a very good price, but the staff and the owner were both very sincere and lovely people! They made you feel very welcomed! This is the best hummus and cauliflower soup Ive ever had in my life, they cooked with love♥️ its a shame that it was our last night there, wish I could stay longer and try other dishes! - Sending you love from Hong Kong!

The most important thing beforehand: Hamarakia is not just a pure super bar. I found the restaurant by chance on the day I arrived and came back three times. The dishes are all vegetarian/vegan and are prepared fresh daily. Even though the selection is rather small, there should be something for everyone. What I liked most was that the recipes vary from day to day and although I had shakshuka twice, it was slightly different each time but still tasted great. The prices are reasonable and even relatively cheap compared to other restaurants in the area. Because the dishes are all prepared, you don't have to wait long and everything is well done. The chef/owner knows what he is talking about and is happy to explain the menu and individual dishes to anyone who is unclear. All in all, it was a feast for me and I will come back on my next visit to Jerusalem.
