The 38 Essential Tel Aviv Restaurants

"Onza, a popular bar and restaurant located in the bustling Shuk HaPishpeshim (Jaffa’s flea market) added a Turkish touch to the menu when the talented chef pair Arik Darhani and Muli Magriso took reins of the kitchen towards the end of 2016. The menu features mezze like cacik, a Turkish yogurt dip made with cucumbers, mint, and dill; and pacanga borek, a pastry filled with pastirma (a Turkish cured beef) and kashkaval cheese served alongside a spicy grape leaf version of zhug (a hot sauce) and warm, comforting eggplant yogurt dip. Come early and browse the flea market for second-hand goodies and check out the shops that showcase local Israeli fashion. [$$]" - Keren Brown

First dinner visiting Israel here and I kinda expected more. Some of the dishes were good and some were not. Main server was great, but the people that were bringing out the drinks and food gave off a vibe that we owe them something. I would suggest to close the hole in the middle of the table as we were running out of room and open it when people order the ice buckets.

Everything was delicious. We tried several starters and all of them were great. Indoor and outdoor sitting. Make sure you book in advance, especially if you want to seat outside. Above average prices. Lovely atmosphere. Friendly staff

Middle eastern and Turkish cuisine with the great atmosphere of the market. Great food for a cocktail bar, perhaps a bit missing if you are looking for a full meal if you don’t like fish - it will be hard to find a significant entrée. But otherwise the food was yummy, service was fast and the place was fun!

We didn’t have a reservation but they managed to find us a spot at the bar which was great as we got to get some great recommendations from Michael the barman. We had a local craft beer and tried a few of the dishes. The hummus and eggplant dips were amazing! The chicken schwerma was delicious. And finally the chocolate nemesis was to die for 🤤 Not the cheapest place but we had a great experience and would go back!

We have recently dined at Onza and had an absolutely fantastic experience. The staff were incredibly helpful and went out of their way to recommend dishes and provide great advice throughout the meal. The food itself was truly delicious, with standout dishes including the amazing eggplant starter and the fresh bread. I highly recommend trying the Seafood Hanina, it's definitely worth it. What's more, if you're an early bird, you can take advantage of the 30% off discount. All in all, my experience at Onza jn was superb and I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience with great food and exceptional service.

Both authentic food and exquisite service earn this little bar / restaurant a 5 star rating. In addition to the above, expect good vibes and joyful music, a perfect trendy place for brunch or going out with friends for beers & food. Will definitely comeback :)

Jaffa is a nice neighborhood and this restaurant is fitting perfectly the atmosphere around. Relaxed, chill and the food plus the service were perfect! Did not try the cocktail but that’s a good reason to come back then!

Very good, but I liked the previous menu when we visited a couple of years a go a lot better. It felt less authentic Turkish and more generic now.
