A great place for brunch with vibrant flavors and beautiful presentation. I ordered shakshuka and coffee, everything was fresh and delicious, and the atmosphere was lively and pleasant.

My son and I loved the food there and the service...the music, well, I like authentic so, any Israeli music would have been better for my taste. And I wish that cafe could be outdoors!!

Went to this specific location bc it had impossible Arayes on the menu. Found out they stopped serving it for awhile so was really disappointed. Was not a fan of their Moroccan salmon wrap. Everything was avg, but the fam absolutely loved the chicken shwarma. Eggplant hummus was good too. Liked Cafe Motek, but would stick to Israeli food.
