Khachapuri (Georgia .....on my mind)

Posted by Brad Hofman on Tuesday, September 28, 2010, In : Restuarant Reviews 
Whenever I think of Georgians, I think of big, hairy, full moustached people, a little bit like Stalin, and I am talking about the women here. So from the first statement you gather I have absolutely no idea about Georgia, Georgian women and Georgian food. 
According to my scources (ok so I am making this up) Georgians are regarded as full blooded, hot tempered and suave people and this can be seen in their cuisine. 
Khachapuri is a Georgian soul food restaurant located at 63 Nachlat Benyamin. ...

Chinese Wall (Beijing in the heart of Tel Aviv)

Posted by Brad Hofman on Sunday, September 19, 2010, In : Restuarant Reviews 



Chinese Wall is found on Mikva Israel Street and is just like any restaurant you can find in Beijing. The good news is, ,unlike in Beijing, you will not find dog, cat, pig brains, pork, sea cucumber or bullfrog stew....sorry...the place is kosher.
The story goes that the owner came to Israel 19 years ago from Beijing and for some unknown reason, decided to convert to judaism and open a chinese restaurant. I think the laundry business was kinda saturated in Tel Aviv. 
The restaurant could be an...

Bar Gurion (Thought ...the strenuous art.)

Posted by Brad Hofman on Thursday, September 16, 2010, In : Restuarant Reviews 
Anyone who hears the name Ben Gurion thinks automatically about one of the founding fathers of the modern state of Israel. Streets, airports, hospitals are all named after him, and so is this great restaurant found at 177 Ben Yehuda Street.

Ben Gurion stated that the nation would " uphold the full social and political equality of all its citizens, without distinction of religion, race or sex." Nowhere can this ideal be better seen that in this restaurant. Anyone from different social backgrou...

Casserole (A gem in Neve Tzedek)

Posted by Brad Hofman on Tuesday, September 14, 2010, In : Restuarant Reviews 
Nestled near the end of Lilenblum (No 3 Lilinblum) just by Neve Tzedek is a gem of a restaurant called Casserole. The story goes that the owner, who grew up on all this fantastic Iraqi and Morrocan food, went one day to his parents and asked why they do not make the food from his childhood. He really missed it and decided to open up a restaurant, where he will make his favourite food from his yester years. So he gathered all the family recipes and opened his little place. 
Either that or he wa...

Sandwich Factory (Sandwich Artists)

Posted by Brad Hofman on Tuesday, September 7, 2010, In : Restuarant Reviews 
Have you ever gone to a restuarant that specialises and is famous for the best meat in the city and ordered the pasta?....me neither, but today I went to the Sandwich Factory, a deli, that, specialises in sandwiches and ordered the salad.
In most peoples minds they would be thinking ....WHAT!...........it is called the Sandwich Factory, but to be honest all the food is good there. These guys could be considered  sandwich artists like a pole dancer is considered a pole technician. 
The Sandwich ...

Chicken (Not Nando's but damn close)

Posted by Brad Hofman on Friday, September 3, 2010, In : Restuarant Reviews 
Anyone walking down Nachlat Benyamin, close to Allenby, will come across this small but fantastic roast chicken place. For me it is one of the best kept secrets in Tel Aviv, and I am terrible at keeping a secret. The best thing about the place is its simplicity and the place is Kosher. The menu consists of chicken and roast potatoes, yes let me tell you again in case you missed it, roast chicken and roast potatoes. You get it! You can have a choice of 1/4 , 1/2 or full chicken and roast potat...

haSushia (הסושיה)(Quick and nasty)

Posted by Brad Hofman on Friday, September 3, 2010, In : Restuarant Reviews 

This is a fast food chain of Sushi stores, whose motto is "fast life, easy food". They cater mainly to the take out market and have a small seating section for walk in trade. There are a few branches in Tel Aviv, this blog is about the Rothschild Boulevard store.

The menu is impressive and as confusing as trying to make head or tail of the Beijing telephone directory, the Wu section. If you love puzzles, crosswords, soduku, this menu is for you . If you have a masters degreee or PHD in Engine...
