Itzik Hagadol is an Israeli shipudei (grill house) proudly displaying their meats from their window. But honestly, you can just skip the meats entirely, for once you sit down, an assortment of no fewer than 20 little plates of salads and dips are brought to the table, along with freshly-baked laffa flatbread. These small plates were enough to make a meal all on their own, and each one was distinct in flavor and preparation. To point out a few highlights, I especially liked the fava bean purée, spicy eggplant, zhoug (spicy herb paste), tabbouleh, Israeli salad (chopped lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, herbs), liver-flavored eggplant, fried eggplant, and falafel. Other items included several different preparations of carrots (Moroccan and raw), tomato (grated, spicy, and matbucha), and eggplant; celery salad, beets, creamy white and red cabbage, fried potatoes, Russian salad, pickled chilies, and grilled tomatoes/onions/peppers. Everything went nicely with the laffa bread, which was covered with sesame seeds and had chewy edges and a thin, crispy interior, and you could compose so many combinations and bites with the different components. And the best part was that you could get unlimited refills of any of the salads, dips, and bread! Now do you see why you can just skip the meats entirely?!

One of the most tasty grilled meat in town! My first time experience. We order lamb and wagyuu steak, it was so tender and aromatic with unique salt and pepper nicely prepared. All the 8-10 or more orderve dishes also all great and refillable. The place is neither luxurious nor fancy but nice and pleasant, clean and well designed. All was impressive. Just minus 1 star for abit rough service cos when we asked waitress to take away the left food, she brought boxes and take it right from the table where we all sitting. We were in shock. Hope they will improve it.

One of the best meals we had in Israel hands down. All the plates and the grill and the cornucopia of tastes...it was dazzling. And the best part is refills on all the deliciousness. The bread was to die for too! Service was sketchy. Some servers were friendly and phenomenal and some almost threw the plates at us. We found it hilarious and not offensive at all. The place is not fancy and it feels more homey and lively. We loved it and would go back in a heartbeat.

I’m sure this place is amazing but the breadwinner for me is their Shawarma spot on the corner which doesn’t appear to have a Google listing. They have turkey and waygu beef shawarma (sometimes other options) and the portions they give you are incredible. The quality of meat is amazing as they also own a butcher shop, staff is incredibly nice (particularly Ariel), and great vibes. Highly recommend Yalla !!

This place rocks! Great atmosphere, great wines, and excellent meats and salads, and excellent service. Salads can be ordered endlessly and they are all very tasty and fresh. The meat was great, nicely charcoal grilled, tender and juicy. The servers were all very attentive, friendly and helpful. If I could, I'd go back there again in a heartbeat. Loved every minute and every bit of food there.
