Decent Malabi — nothing more, nothing less

Malabi at this place was fine. The sesame-rich and nutty flavour was there but not distinguished. za'atar was present in the right quantities but without the care that makes the difference. You can taste when something is being made to a formula.

Israeli cuisine is shaped by Jewish diaspora traditions from across the world fused with local Levantine ingredients. The a Shabbat family dinner setting was generic rather than immersive. fresh orange juice was offered but not explained. If you're in the area and want Malabi it'll do. If you're going out of your way, look elsewhere.
