Food was ok, but not dying to go again since there was nothing special about it. Just another cute place with pricey ok food.
We ordered: Kibbeh: good, but not amazing. Also very different from other kibbehs we have tried before. Couscous: very ok, very little flavor. Hummus: good, but not special about it. We have tried hummus in many restaurants and this one does not stand out. Gago’s schnitzel: very good, the checking had a very good flavor and wasn’t dry or grease at all. Beet hummus: good, but not one of the best one we have tried. Telavivian caprese salad: just ok, nothing special about it. Potatoes: just ok Pistachio affogato: beautiful served, however the little mug with the coffee does not work when pouring the coffee. We tried to do it right and yet end up spilling. That mug is not made to pour something as liquid like a coffee. The affogato was good, but once again nothing special and also not enough ice cream to have it. baklava: very very good, this one we loved. Maybe the only thing we could stop by and have it again.
All portions were very small, specifically for the price, reason why it felt it was pricey for what it is. The only item that had a decent size was the Gago’s schnitzel chicken.
We also tried to ordered 3 different dishes that they didn’t have at the moment, that was disappointing, and so that’s why we ordered the potatoes and chicken.
We paid for all that + a glass of wine and a beer $78 because they also included 18% service for a two people party. When the waitress brought the bill she didn’t point the service was included, not a huge problem but I personally appreciate when they tell you, it feels they are being honest and not trying to get any extra tip. The wine and beer were with HH price.
The place is very beautiful, very well decorated. They didn’t missed any detail because even the ceiling matches the style. They also have a patio with tables with umbrellas where you can sit.
The service was good. However I could tell our waitress is not very fluent in English, but she was nice enough except for not pointing the service was included, luckily we check the bill.
Parking a little difficult, but that’s everywhere in...
Read moreI’m always excited to experience new spots. Bobe is fairly new and I had seen it advertised on a few “best new places for breakfast/brunch”, so I decided to come here for a Sunday brunch.
The place itself is eye-catching and pretty instagramable. It’s beautiful.
I started with a flat white, a fresh squeezed OJ and an almond croissant. The coffee was weak in my opinion. On the other hand, the juice was truly fresh squeezed and it tasted so good and refreshing. As for the croissant, it was good enough, I enjoyed it
My problem was with the main dishes, the avocado toast and the shakshouka.
The avocado toast was made with some sort of blended avocado cream/spread. I wouldn’t get an avocado toast, should I have known it was made with a spread instead of 100% avocado mashed. I love avocado toast and I have it pretty often when I go out for breakfast and brunches, so I have a good understanding of what a good one looks and tastes like. To top It off, the egg was overcooked, completely hard.
For the shakshouka, I can say it is the worst one I have ever had. There was no effort behind this dish. It was made with cheap and acidic tomato sauce straight out of a can with the eggs on top. Usually, shakshouka is made of a tomato sauce cooked together with onions, red bell pepper, garlic, oregano, cumin, cinnamon (for Moroccan style), smoked paprika, feta cheese, etc. This dish was missing everything but the tomato sauce which was not balanced out for acidify. The only good thing was the bread that was provided to eat it with.
Based on my experience, I would only recommend this place for a coffee and a pastry such as a croissant, but nothing else.
Típ, don’t seat inside, head to the outdoor patio seating. I noticed a lot of the kitchen smell and smoke make it to the indoors dining area and your clothing will stink...
Read moreI've came here 4 total times and I've truly tried to like the place simply because I'm always in the area. On multiple occasions I've came in and the baked goods along with the foods have been mediocre. No consistency on the baked goods. I ordered a nosh when I first came in and it was raw, the dough was raw and some of the grounded beef was also raw, I also ordered some he shushuka to go once and the bread was under loads of tomatoes and peppers which the bread completely soggy so couldn't even enjoy the dish. For the final trial I had the Israeli breakfast.. the pastrami was like rubber, the latkes were soggy breaking easily, which also I found avocado on not sure how. The eggs were supposed to be sunny side up as described but they're currently being served as rolled up omelettes not sure why. The pistachio matcha had nothing tasting like pistachio, I read the reviews saying it was creaming and bold pistachio flavor, not sure if maybe they forgot it in mine but it was a regular matcha with pistachio rim.. The only thing I've truly enjoyed is the small salad that comes with every dish. It truly gives you the feel that the owners just wanted to open a place to profit and wouldn't even eat here. Please stop making restaurants just for profit and make it because you are collaborating with people who care about the quality and make food because they truly enjoy to not just because of money. The set up is confusing so some people order then sit but apparently you're suppose to sit and wait for someone to come to you to order.. which the employees are also confused because many order then sit because no one in the take out are ever asks for here or to go in order to prevent confusion for all. Non the less everyone who works here is extremely kind and I wish nothing but the best for all. Hoping they get...
