    With the JCC group
    Daniella S.

    After our JCC gym classes, a group of us women headed over to this little hole in the wall that one of us highly recommended for their lemonade called Lemonanna - to go for. We arrived and there was a wait but it's a small little place so we waited outside until another group of people came and started smoking so we went inside ... When we saw that one of the tables was available and there was really no place to stand, one of us went over to start to sit down (as a solution) and the waitress whose name was Lulli or Lolli started yelling at us telling us that she had to clean first and I said yeah, but there's no place for stand and she yelled that we had to wait. Now, if you've been to Israel, you'll know that people are pretty rude. Kind of nasty they yell at each other we all know and accept it. And you kind of expect it if you go to an Israeli restaurant coz you're gonna get treated poorly. They act like you're bothering them. Of course it's not true of all Israeli restaurants but it's a generalization that's pretty spot on. Once you do get seated and she calms her ass down, you order the most amazing lemonade with fresh lemon, mint, and blended with ice that is to perfection. There's a spread already on the table of small little salads, chickpeas, carrots a lot of cabbage beets etc , to pick on while you're choosing from the extensive Israeli food on the menu . They have all the great Middle Eastern foods that you'll find in Israel . The hummus, the baba ghanoush, the falafel, the amazing is really salad with all the fresh herbs and the delicious fresh ingredients. Five of us spent about $22 each and had the best time despite our waitress and the leaky ceiling and the pretty dingy decor , but that's why we come here. Oh, and the tip is included in the price, which is probably why your waitress doesn't give a damn if you like her or not. We will be returning here for that Lemonanna and overlook Loli or whatever her name was.

    We loved this spot. The food was so fresh and full of flavor. The service was quick and attentive and the decor was very true to the restaurant. It is a bit on the pricier side but well worth the quality

    Unexpectedly found this restaurant after being in the area and reading these amazing reviews. The restaurant is tucked in a small strip shopping center and can be easily missed. Dined on a Thursday evening and place was busy, but not packed. First they provide some free apps. The menu is extensive with options and overall for the value you get your moneys worth! Service was great and food is fresh. I definitely would recommend this place for anyone who enjoys Israeli food!

    Guys don't sleep on this place! Oh my... authentic Israeli food perfectly prepared... We've only ordered from here never sat down to dine... friendly family service! Their form of a "bread basket" was all these deliciously pickled mini dishes! So good... and their homemade lemonade with mint is a MUST!!! Absolutely delighted!!!! And fulfilled!

    We were in Miami for a md appointment and looking for some where new to go. We decided to try Etzel and we were not disappointed. We were greeted with a bunch of little starters. They were all delicious. I had the falafel and it was the BEST I have ever had. The falafel was perfectly cooked and seasoned. I kept eating past full because I just couldn't get enough. The space is small and every table was taken. The parking is a little difficult, but that shouldn't deter you from going. Next time we are near there, we will definitely go back!

    This Middle Eastern spot located in North Miami serves kosher Israeli food in a deli diner style restaurant. Complimentary Israeli salad is served upon seating. The casual cozy atmosphere is inviting for authentic cuisine. I had the Sabich $11.95 with brown egg, salad, hummus, tahini, samba, eggplant, scallions and pickle. It is high quality and delicious. Service is very friendly and efficient.

    Family run restaurant with many local patrons. Service was very friendly and prompt. My husband and I ordered standard dishes and they were delicious, filling and affordable. I'd happily come back and try many of their other dishes. There is a 3% credit card charge for those using a card so if you want to save money, cash is king. They have shared parking in a small plaza where other shops are located. Street parking is also available, but might be hard to find during peak hours.

    Family restaurant, great spot to share a quick affordable mean. It is also super casual and has a diner vibe. Needless to say, A great classic to keep on your list. Service is ok; what you would expect for a dinner, quick and friendly. The highlight for us were all the pickled goodies and small bites They bring out soon as you walk in the door. It was amazing. We have never been in a place that has done that! Definitely try the hummus, the chickpeas and rice plate were great, The lamb kebabs were juicy too. The only thing we were crazy about, were the falafel. It wasn't bad. It was just kind of bland,

    When we walked in, I wasn't sure we were staying, it was busy and I didn't see any open tables. Luck for us the place was larger than it looked. Before we even looked at the menu they brought out all these small plates. For a moment I thought it was eating a Korean restaurant. There was pickled carrots, beets, cabbage, pasta salad, corn, chick peas and two kinds of coleslaw. They were all good except the the coleslaw, I don't like coleslaw. So you know I didn't eat it. I was pretty full after eating all the appizer plates, but I still managed to eat lunch. With a little help from our server to decide, I went for a chicken shawarma pita. It was so good! My favorite part of it was the pita bread. It was amazing! The fries were my least favorite thing. I only like fries when the just come out of the and are really hot. As far as the restaurant, I felt like I was in a different country. Everything was in Hebrew as well as in English. We plan to eat here again the next time we are in the area. Is one other thing, the parking sucks.

    Yemenite soup

    Etzel Itzik serves authentic Israeli food that truly hits the spot. I had the shakshuka for breakfast, and it was incredible--piping hot and perfectly spiced. Their limonana is hands down the best I've ever had--so refreshing and full of flavor. We also tried the Yemenite soup, which was rich and flavorful. Although it had a bit too much cumin for my taste, it was still very enjoyable. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a taste of Israel!

    Babaganoush with warm pita  soooo good
    Ann P.

    Hole in the wall vibe with the BEST FOOD!! You can't go wrong dining in or taking out. I've done both & highly recommend. You will not walk away hungry because they have huge portions and what feels like a million sides. The sides include things like beets, carrots, salads & pasta. My go to here is a babaganoush and hummus (with tahini of course), falafel balls, and anything with cabbage. If you're there on Saturday, try the Cholent which is a hearty beef and bean stew. Also, try the mint lemonade for a refreshing twist with the crushed ice & mint leaves!

    salads
    Ana W.

    This place has Excellent food and delicious meat. Athmosphere is wonderful very informal small place but always full of people. Truly excellent service, attentive waiters, great menu, outstanding food especially their meat and their daily menu for each day of the week . If you want to eat next level status, this is your place. when you get there this authentic israeli restaurant will flood you with salads then your your plate...

Plenty of seating inside but always usually busy. Everything is clean for the most part tables are constantly being cleared for new customers.

Part of our group showed up about 8-10 after us and was serviced their hot food before me and my wife. She got a wrap and I ordered a burger. After wait and see other customers and the rest of our group of 16 people get their food. I finally asked where our food was. We were told they were waiting for the burger to defrost. Defrost? Really even so other people in our group got burgers and before me. I waited a little longer and was finally over it. I just wanted my money back. They then brought a burger and it was not even the right burger order. Plus they had not even prepared my wife's chicken wrap yet. The outside seating is nice and food maybe good but the service is horrible. They never apologized for it just kept making excuses.
