Like the Eiffel tower in Paris for sightseeing, each city has a couple of "must eats" that you can't miss, and this is one of them. Allegedly "the best sabich in Israel", this sandwich impressed, not by it's intense flavours, but by the subtlety of each ingredient.
The passion of the guys who put this sandwich together is noteworthy as it seems like they are carefully placing each ingredient with care and precision.
The whole sandwich has a clean flavour. The eggplant is fried, but has none of that rancid, burned oil flavour that you can find in other places. Considering how many different things go into this sabich, it's biggest feat is the balance they have achieved. No flavour takes over, nothing is forgotten.
The sandwich gets four stars. While there is nothing to really complain about, the flavours tend to be quite heavy and I am lacking something refreshing in there to bring it to absolute perfection.
Big shout out to the guys working here who were great to me and all other customers both times...
Read moreThis isnt some pita shack where a bored 30 something hastily slaps together a half baked and sloppily executed sandwhich. This is the home of master craftsmen who methodically build a picture perfect sandwhich every single time. The line here moves slowly and thats because each one of the workers here puts the pita togerher with love, layering in to each section of the pita a balance of all the ingredients so that the flavor and appearance is top tier from the first bite down to the last. Not only is this a place most people will enjoy eating, its a place most restaurants in the country can learn a thing or two from. Come at night and not only do you get a sandwhich, youll also get the comedy free. This is a true local institution as well as a place visitors should...
Read moreWhat can I say? This guy is the MASTER. His love to his art shows every day. This is my first and last stop when I arrive to Israel. Best 25 shekels you can ever spend. Closest thing to the word LOVE you will find. Yes, I have been to Oved many times as well but this guy is out of this world good. If I could give an extra star for exeptional I would. Eggs, perfect. The eggplant pure joy. The cheese -insane. The salads are so fresh. The layering - omg. If I had to try really hard to find issues it is the lineup but it is worth every second of your waiting time. My advice - always wait for the owner to make it for you if you want a real work of art. My daughter is coming next month ti Israel and it will be her first stop. Thank you so much for...
