    I just went to pick up an order of 2 halah breads schnitzel and 1 plate of rice and meat balls. The cashier pack everything in 1 plastic bag, said Shabbat shalom and thank you . I drove back to my office to eat with my coworkers. When I got to the office I opened the bag and see only the 2 schnitzel order , the meat ball dish wasn't there. I call to ask ether for a refund or for them to send it in Uber (it's 20 min drive from my location). The lady over the phone blame me that I didn't pick it up and it's there waiting for me on the counter. (and again it was all packed and sealed in a bag that can easily contain 5 different dishes, and the same guy that made the schnitzel is the guy that pack the meet balls dis Poor customer service, I will never order from them again. And by the way, I'm Israeli.

    I am a fan of the Tel Aviv restaurants, but this one should be judged on an entirely different level, as while it is under the "Tel Aviv" umbrella, there is a huge distinction this location has as their "Authentic Chef Kitchen." Simply put, this location is really a stand-restaurant, a mom and pops if you will, with their own menu and nothing like a chain restaurant. The kitchen is in the back, and there is a small counter inside the Super Sal Market, but it's really as if you are eating in father and daughter (David and Maytal) combo's home, as they serve you a rotating (with some everyday mainstays) variety of authentic Israeli food, specifically Mizrahi/Sephardic specialties. I have to be careful what I buy here because my Iraqi mother-in-law can get very jealous, but she even loves their food. My sabra wife sends me here a couple times a week to get that homemade (as in it's not only yummy, but it reminds her of home). My baby daughter scoops the "Israeli" couscous (they have excellent traditional couscous as well) with her hands right into her mouth. Their variety of soups is as good for the soul as it is for the body, all healthy and delicious. Their Falafel? I don't think it's the same as the other locations, because truthfully, I'm not crazy about Tel Aviv falafel but I really like it here. Their Schnitzel? Again, blows away the other locations, in fact, it's the best schnitzel in town, and by that I'm including Dr. Sandwich in the Fairfax District....and here you don't have to wait until shabbat to get Dr. Sandwich's famed schnitzel on challah, at Tel Aviv Authentic Kitchen you can choose the fluffy, doughy, golden goodness of the challah schnitzel sandwich every day. Now, I'm trying to work on my figure, as they say, so I can't be eating that heavenly sandwich every day, so today I mixed it up and got the grilled chicken thighs in a pita. Also fantastic. Their meatballs? also fantastic. And while it's not remotely Israeli, they make a penne marinara that's better than most of the Italian restaurants in Los Angeles, too. I'm not joking. I call them just to request that. In closing, I can go on about the food, the authentic dishes, the grilled vegetables, all the ways they do potatoes, the sauces, the stews, etc., but almost as important as the food itself is the hospitality, and in that department this father/daughter team also shine. They know your name, they know what you like, and they do their best to serve you with love from their family to yours. You can't get much better than that in the food business. It's why I go there a couple times a week, and why I highly recommend you do to!

    I call ahead and order is ready. Best falafel, roasted eggplant, but skip the fries. I always order the pita falafel with all the extras.

I ordered the Rib Eye Arais and Hot Wings, and both were bursting with flavor! The Arais rib eye was juicy, tender, and perfectly seasoned,while the wings were crispy, savory, and had just the right amount of heat. Everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared.

The Vegan Arais delivered incredible depth of flavor and texture, serving as a satisfying meal paired with its side salad. The chunky potato fries were cooked to perfection, but the Roasted Eggplant (baboon) stole the spotlight--prepared tableside and paired with crispy za'atar pita chips, it's a must-order. Despite a lively Sunday evening crowd, the staff provided outstanding, warm, and attentive hospitality. A fantastic addition to the neighborhood! Plenty of free parking off the alley and street parking in front was not an issue either.

Definitely go with the laffa bread for the wrap. Their plates are solid too. I personally love their shawarma both the beef and chicken are fire but the beef is superior. Their portions are unreal, they are consistently unreal in how much they serve you. I appreciate this particular location as they have more than enough seating, they are generously staffed with plenty of cooks, hosts, bus boys, etc. this is a well oiled machine. There are clean restrooms available and even a sink in the hallway in case you just need to wash your hands. My experience here was truly elite, for that I couldn't recommend this restaurant enough. They have a huge shared private parking lot. There are many solid businesses in this plaza, so be sure to check out Im idan med spa, Rasputin, Core Power Yoga, a gorgeous hair salon in the back and so much more. Solid assortment of businesses not to mention, across the street there are a grip of businesses too. You could literally get everything done here. Tel Aviv Grill, please consider the following locations to open more locations. Westwood, Northridge, Porter Ranch, West Hills, Warner Center, Westlake Village, Malibu. Please do us all a favor and open more locations, thank you. Lastly, in case if anyone is wondering, one order of the wrap or plate (doesn't matter) can easily feed two full grown adults.

The chicken shawarma plate (~$26) was delicious and so was the schnitzel pita (~$20). I usually don't love falafel but I got theirs to try and it wasn't dry and had a lot of flavor. The one thing I didn't personally like was the eggplant, but I usually don't like that vegetable anyway. Great quick Mediterranean option!

Consisting mostly of homemade dishes, ready to put in the oven this place offers a variety of cook dishes to go. There is no seating inside, however, you have you are welcome to sit at one of the outdoor tables. The Cholent was mediocre. It was missing many of the ingredients typically found in Cholent. On top of that it was both very heavy on the turmeric, but lacking basics such as salt. This may be explained way by the fact that this Cholent appeals to the Ashkenazi crowd who prefer things to be relatively on the bland side. The vegetables were tasty, but what seemed to be warmed vegetables, turned out to be cold vegetables with one exception; the warm okra was mixed in with the cold vegetables. A mistake that can cause problems down the line. The Israeli pitas that were bought to take home and freeze were perfectly good. Of note was the staffs, great attitude, big smiles, and willingness to help and guide. This reviewer however, gets the feeling that if you are not Israeli (that is to say, Hebrew speaker) or Jewish, you'd be lost at the menu and offerings. So some homework and preparation are essential.

We paid $68 for two salads and an order of fries, which felt overpriced for the quality and portions. What really stood out, however, was the customer service. I visited with my mother and my toddler son. Since my son wasn't going to eat fried food, I bought him a fruit smoothie from a neighboring business. While we were already in line paying for our order, the owner or manager approached us and informed us that outside food and drinks were not allowed because the restaurant is kosher. Although he said he would make an exception this one time, he approached us again while we were waiting outside for our food. We had chosen to sit outside because the restaurant was crowded, loud, and stuffy inside. Despite us not causing any issues, he again insisted that the smoothie could not be on the premises and began explaining that his license could be suspended due to association rules. We politely told him it wasn't a problem and decided to take our food to go. I understand businesses have policies, but the way the situation was handled felt unnecessarily confrontational, especially considering the drink was for a toddler and we had already spent nearly $70 at the restaurant. Between the mediocre food, high prices, and rude customer service, I would not return. There are plenty of better dining options in the area.
