With so many Israeli restaurants opening in the area it's hard to really find something that…read moreactually feels like Israel.. this is a place you call home. You walk in and there's generations of photos on the walls and employees that have been there since day 1. Food is always consistent and that's not something you come by these days. Salads are loaded on the table like you walked into an Israeli grandmas house and you can't beat the price for what you get. Screw the mainstream places that charge an arm and a leg that don't even bring you back to your roots. Go and enjoy what it's really like to feel well fed and at home

After our JCC gym classes, a group of us women headed over to this little hole in the wall that one…read moreof 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.

The pastries at Florentin Bakery are excellent--everything we tried tasted fresh, flavorful, and…read moreclearly made with care. They also have a great menu with plenty of options whether you're stopping by for breakfast, lunch, or just coffee and something sweet. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that service can feel a bit rushed during busy times, but everyone was still friendly. Overall, it's a great neighborhood bakery that I'll definitely keep coming back to. Vete Abon

This is a kosher dairy restaurant. I had the truffle Sambusak and a Khachapuri. The Khachapuri was…read morenot the best I've had. The bread was fresh but the choice of cheese didn't have the flavor I was looking for. The truffle Sambusak was made with fresh dough and mushrooms. The Bulgarian cheese and zaatar pastry was flavorful. There is indoor and outdoor seating. You order at the counter and they bring it to you. They have a hand washing station.

The menu at Kalinka is a prime example of how we have more in common than some like to portray…read more Whether you call it aji relleno, stuffed bell peppers or perchenok s kuritza, we all love a delicious sauteed pepper stuffed with seasoned shredded chicken. This was my recent dinner at Kalinka, where instead of my usual barbecue sauce I seasoned it with sour cream ("smetana")! It's always great to expand one's culinary horizons, isn't that what makes a foodie? As other reviewers mentioned, the majority of the space is a grocery store stocking traditional dishes from Russia and other Eastern European countries. There are a few tables inside the store as well as outside. You order at the counter, and your dish is brought out to your table if eating in. Besides my chicken dish, I also enjoyed a portion of kachapuri (stuffed cheese bread) as well as a warm and flaky cherry pie ("vishni"). One of my overseas friends recommended pomegranate juice as part of my wellness regimen. To my delight, I was able to purchase a large bottle of it (sok granat). The cashier / deli attendant helped me find it, and also gave me the opportunity to place my order in Russian as well. Thank you for that "above and beyond" level of service. Blagodario bas!

Their egg salad is to die for. Knocking off a star because their parking lot is such a pain. I…read morewould never come back to this location driving a big car and instead go to the other one since the parking is better. I was so nervous while trying to get out, I almost just sat in my car hoping the person in front would leave so I could pull forward instead of my many attempts at backing up. It took me almost 12 minutes just to get out of the lot! I also was getting nervous and flustered inside as well since it was so crowded. However, the bakery items smelled wonderful and they had the desert cheesecake snack things my daughter loves getting, so that was a plus. Definitely recommend KC market for your kosher goods, just don't drive a large vehicle if you plan on going to this location-- as you may be stuck in the lot trying to get out.

Well I accidentally came here. Was headed to Hummus Achla and noticed this place across the street…read morewhich is called "Falafal Achla". I assumed this was owned by the same people. I decided to go to the "Falafal" version of the "Achla" empire because it looked newer from the outside. Before I get into this review I'd like to say I risked my life for a falafal, by trying to cross Hallandale on foot. Y'all need some crosswalks my Miami people. But I was still light on my feet (pre-falafal) so was able to play live Frogger like a G. On to the food. I had a falafal sandwich. What's very nice is the owner literally scoops fresh falafal into balls and fries them up on the spot. The result is a moist falafal that's still lightly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The falafal is a bit hard to eat and it's messy, from the huge dollop of tahina sauce that dresses the top of the sandwich. But I like saucy food so that's not a problem for me, plus I was impressed the pita held up all the way until the end of my meal. Wow. When I make this at home my pita turns into a soggy and ripped mess every. single. time. Inside the (very fresh) pita is falafal of course, Israeli salad, and hummus. What could have make this better? Something tangy or sour to to play against the other flavors. I would have enjoyed a pickle of some sort in there. This one falafal filled me up real good and I was starving. And for less than $8 that's a good deal these days. I have no doubt this food is authentic. The owner is Israeli and looks like he's been working with falafal since back in the day. And the restaurant itself is very new, clean, and nice looking. Why not check it out? Just look both ways before crossing the street, and never, never ever, try running across Hallandale with a stomach full of falafal. (I was between 4 and 5 stars and with a few more choices for toppings I think this would a slam dunk 5-star. But Yelp doesn't allow 4.5 stars and with room for improvement I can't give 5 stars.)

We walked into the…read moreAstoria Deli (which has been at its present location for 40 years) and were seated by the owner who was so nice and welcoming. We were surprised that this was an Israeli restaurant, with an extensive menu. We ordered 2 shawarmas and 2 mint lemonades. The waitress proceeded to serve us at least 8 small side dishes of various salads, one more delicious than the one before Chickpea, pickled beets, pasta, cream corn, 2 types of cole slaw, health salad, and carrot. The shawarma came inside a soft pita with a side of fresh not frozen French Fries. I was familiar with shawarma having been to Israel last year. The Mint Limonade smoothie was to die for. The service was excellent. We thought the whole experience was a great one. Can't wait to get back there.
