THE BEST food Kosher restaurant can offer. Extremely high level from all aspects, even though a bit noisy due to many people dining.

Delicious food! Drinks are outstanding and creative. Have always had great service. Event space upstairs is really nice. DJ nights have a party vibe but loud after 9pm (Th, Sat) which can be fun, other times more calm, so plan accordingly

We visited TLV Tapas last night for a birthday celebration, and unfortunately, it was one of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had. We booked our table in advance, expecting a smooth evening, but the service was shockingly poor from the start. Our waiter treated us with an attitude that felt dismissive and unwelcoming, making us feel like we were inconveniencing them just by being there.
We had to ask multiple times for basic things, and even after reminding them, our requests were either ignored or met with reluctance. On top of that, the food didn’t come out on time our reservation was at 10 PM, and even though we preordered, an appetizer as simple as a salad didn’t arrive until around 12 AM. For a birthday celebration, there was zero effort to make it special in fact, they seemed annoyed when we asked for anything related to it.
Before the manager went home, he did try to make amends by bringing a small round of shots to say sorry, but once he left, it was as if the waiter doubled down on her behavior. We would have loved to come back, as it seems like a great place, but service is clearly not on that list.

Great restraunt for kosher food, I went for a buisness dinner where we all got multiple playes and shared and the lamb was absolutely divine. All the appetizers are amazing too, as well as the sushi. Personaly i didn't enjoy the chichen, it was very dry for my standard and underseasoned, and the two 16oz my table had were much to fatty for me, but my partners loved it

Phe-no-mi-nal!!! Every thing about this restaurant blew us away. A very classy ambiance greets you as soon as you walk in with high ceilings and middle eastern inspired modern decor with upbeat music and low lighting. The menu is varied but not overwhelming. The portions are generous and well-plated. We had the arugula salad which was bright, citrusy and a party in your mouth. The Jerusalem bagel was fresh and steaming with delicious condiments. The cauliflower steak was hearty with a beef gravy and capers. The oyster mushrooms were packed with flavor and texture. And the sea bass was melt in your mouth and buttery. For dessert we had sfinge- the freshest mini donuts with sticky sauce and ice cream. The staff was welcoming, helpful, and very friendly and accommodating. Two thumbs way up!!
Great food and flavors!
I went to TLV last night (April 10th), and I have to say—it was one of the best nights I’ve had in a while. We’re regulars at this spot because they consistently deliver great food, top-notch service, and an all-around enjoyable vibe. But last night really stood out.
From the moment we walked in, everything felt just right. The staff was friendly and attentive, the food was as delicious as ever, and the atmosphere was buzzing with energy. What truly made the night special, though, was the DJ. He had an incredible set that kept me dancing all evening. The music was a perfect mix of international tracks that brought so much life to the place. We couldn’t get enough—it felt like a mini vacation on the dance floor.
The energy, the crowd, the music—everything just clicked. It was one of those nights you don’t want to end. We’re already looking forward to our next visit. TLV never disappoints, but this time, they absolutely blew us away.
We celebrated my Husband’s 50th Birthday! The food was amazing and the service was great!
We had a wonderful time celebrating my birthday at TLV on 4/10/25. We often frequent this place for friends' parties and always experience excellent service and tasty food. They usually have okay DJs. Last night had a better vibe, and the DJ was fantastic. I can't wait to come back after Passover.
