Tala Hummus and Falafel — Restaurant in Jerusalem

Very disappointed. We saw this place on TripAdvisor and it looked totally fine, beautiful photos, beautiful dishes. The reality, though, was completely different. It says it is cheap but the prices are totally equal to the one in the new city center, for hummus and grill. We ordered a grill of meat (75 sheckles, in the city center was 80, but at least it was beautiful to see and seemed very abundant) and it arrived a micro plate with three overcooked hamburgers on top. The hummus was not good at all (the one at my house is better, and i am not even middle eastern), the pita was dry. There are other places very good (still expensive in Jerusalem) for hummus and falafel, look for those and avoid this...

That was the last time I visited Tala. The tour guides tell you to go there. Not the best place.

I would recommend Al Sham on the same street (3 shops in from Jaffa gate), shaved meat off a spit, with much...
