Ramesses Jaffa

Absolutely excellent restaurant. I went in thinking the atmosphere is the selling point of the place, but the food blew me away! The serving sizes are a bit small, but you could tell that every dish I had was prepared with so much thought and care. The ribs was definitely my favourite, the mix of flavours was excellent. It had a slightly smoky, rich taste. The sauces alongside it enriched it even more. The zucchini from the stone oven was also a hit. Good tang from the Turkish goat cheese and a lovely charred and smoky taste from the zucchini. I think I would have liked if they did more with the zucchini rather than cook them whole, but it was still delicious. The only dish I personally didn’t care for much was the cauliflower. It seemed under cooked and just lazily placed on top of a curry sauce. The starter tomato salad we had was also delicious; excellently seasoned and not too acidic. This was the best meal I had in Tel Aviv. It felt like a light meal yet I was satiated. My one criticism: the host wasn’t very friendly. Made us feel distant and unwelcome when we told her we didn’t have a reservation. The server was excellent though, we had the Argentinian guy.
