Had a fantastic evening at Alena during the week of Purim. Located inside The Norman Hotel, the restaurant offers a refined yet relaxed atmosphere that made for a great dining experience.
I went with a friend and tried a variety of dishes, each offering something unique. We had lamb and fish skewers served with fresh, fluffy pitas, crispy chips, and all the dips on the menu. The pita was freshly baked with a great texture, and the lamb was perfectly cooked, especially delicious when paired with vegetables and dips inside the pita.
I also had an excellent cocktail (though I can’t remember the name), and the biggest surprise of the night was the dessert: the Bavarian cream cake. The creamy coffee flavor was unexpectedly good, far exceeding my expectations.
The staff at Alana was attentive and welcoming, ensuring we had everything we needed throughout the meal. The hotel staff was also helpful, adding to the overall experience.
Overall, it was a fantastic night with delicious food, great service, and a warm, inviting atmosphere. For a moment, I didn’t even feel like I was in Tel Aviv.
