Shila

Exceptional meal. Ordered the prix fixe dinner for 2, with one of the best fresh excellently prepared fish, sea bream, I think, and house bread with 2 terrific dips, tomato and cilantro. Good wine menu and knowledgeable and helpful sommelier. Good service. Happening, full space with good vibes. Definitely top tier status.

Hip and busy, Shila was recommended to us as a top tip for a great dinner. The seafood was incredible and went well with the great white wines on selection. A little on the pricey side if you indulge in the wines!

Definitely a 5 star. Everything, from the service, to how welcoming the staff were. And than to the food! We didn’t eat any of the meats as the place is known for its sea food. Everything was perfection. The seasoning! Only thing that was good and not great - was the creme brûlée. But it was still pretty good.

Birthday at Shila. If you’d like to eat fish in Tel Aviv this place is number one. My husband booked us a table for 3 persons and we’re with a stroller and 3 months old. At 17 on Saturday there’re few people and we sat outside. Service were amazing, waitress knew all menu and helped us to choose the best dishes. We got 2 main dishes and one from the “in between” section.

Lovely place. Went for lunch. Had a tasty Israeli white wine. Attentive service, beautiful platings, and tasty food! Octopus appetizer, shrimp and gnocchi, and thyme ice cream - all wonderful!

Shila has been at the forefront of the dining scene in Tel Aviv and it is easy to see why it remains one of the top restaurants in Tel-aviv Jaffa. Having tried numerous seafood restaurants, it still takes the lead in excellent fresh cooking with the excellent quality ingredients. A few dishes we asked for weren’t available but I’m not sure if that’s because of supply but the waitress was very good at guiding us towards other great dishes. Shila is a bustling and vibrant restaurant, we sat outside and could watch all the people come in and out and soak up the atmosphere. The food is Mediterranean focussed and we tried a number of seafood dishes: the grilled blue crab was excellent, the beef tartare wrapped in cabbage was unique and delicious, the lobster ravioli was scrumptious and the desserts hit the spot. The complementary chocolate ice cream was a lovely touch. See photos for what we ate. Please try!

When in Tel Aviv, give it a try. It is on the pricy side, yet the city vibes are totally worth it. The food had some highlights, we were dissatisfied and disappointed by one of the seafood dishes. Manager was ontop of it and helped us find a different dish much to our satisfaction. All in all I would still recommend to try it.

An amazing experience! Delicious dishes and extremely high quality food. Absolutely incredible! The crystal shrimp carpaccio was unbelievably good and very unique. One of the best in Tel Aviv restaurants.
