HIBA Restaurant

Celebrate a birthday dinner with a friend here and we had a wonderful time. The restaurant is aiming to be a Michelin star restaurant and it shows in the little details like the welcome, the service and the general atmosphere (there is no Michelin guide here). Early reservations are necessary. I enjoyed many dishes, especially the pumpkin and sweetbreads bites. The potato was also very creative and interesting. The winner was the pre-dessert that took an Israeli salad to a new creative level as a palate cleanser. The desserts were a bit too intense for me but that is a personal preference. The price for this type of meal is very affordable in comparison with other place has a great value for money. The location is very convenient with parking right across the street or in the building.

A restaurant for special occasions. Staff and the Chefs takes immense care in putting together a menu for the guest and explaining all the dishes. For me, some dishes were hits and some were misses. I understand each person has their own presence. Waiters were extremely attentive and helpful.

This is easy the best restaurant we've been, worthy of Michelin star. Yossi Shitrit is a very talented chef and he provides experience like nothing else. You need to reserve this place long before and there are only two service times each day - 6pm and 9pm. The whole meal is a tasting menu style, you get about 15 different dishes, each of them is a real piece of art. The dishes are small, but the taste is just fantastic and in the end of the meal you will be full. All of the dishes are created using local products. There is also a selection of wines that are exclusively fitted for the meal - or you can have a bottle or a glass from whatever you choose. In the end Hiba is a very special place, real fine dining experience. It's not cheap, but it's worth it.

Wonderful experience! This is exactly what I was looking for in fine dining in Israel - a very Israeli experience (local fresh produce, unique cuisine and personable staff) along with the high end service, techniques and dishes. The dishes are generous (even too much so, we were stuffed by the end) and feel fresh and well thought out. Absolutely lovely and highly recommended for visitors and locals alike.

The restaurant is designed in a very unique way, the space is very inviting, and the dining experience is wonderful. The service is also excellent, and the special welcome ceremony for each guest creates a great feeling for those who enter. The food, on the other hand, is lacking in my opinion, especially because there is no uniformity in the quality of the different dishes. Some were excellent - the onion soup and the special potato dish - and some were on the verge of inedible - especially the dishes that combined fish and cheese. Of course, this is a matter of taste, but I didn't understand how someone could taste these dishes and decide that it was a good idea to release them to customers. A high-end experience at this level of pricing must justify itself with excellent food, and unfortunately, HIBA does not meet this challenge.

We had very high expectations from the restaurant but left very disappointed. Food was okay, over use of foam textures (3 out of the 8 dishes had some foam), many dishes where bland desperately needed salt and the steak served as the last savory dish was very very chewy. Not anything to write home about. Restrooms need to be seen to more regularly, they were not clean! Also would recommend using a nice soap in the restroom for a nicer experience, not a decanted supermarket soap…

Wow!!! Everything was perfect, the atmosphere, the staff, the experience and of course the amazing food. One of the best chef restaurants and tasting experience I had in Israel. 15 unique dishes that every one of them had special taste, color and appearance. It costs 530 shekels without service and without alcohol and worth it! Very recommend!!!

Creative food and exceptional service, a unique, joyful and flavorful experience that I would definitely recommend trying if you don't mind paying 450 NIS per person... as close as it gets to a Michellin stat experience. I gave it 4 stars and not 5 because, though the overall experience was great, the food itself was not amazing. Except for the bread, which was just heavenly! The eggplant and the onion dishes that were good, the rest of the dishes were not memorable in any way...
