    Still the best falafel in Tel Aviv and maybe even Israel

    Wow! That’s all I can say. If you are in Tel Aviv and you don’t try it, you’re missing something special. Get it with everything on it! You won’t be disappointed.

    It’s just okay...

    Old school falafel joint is way better. I don’t get what all the craze is about. They have less salatim, the pita is not great and the falafel is standard at best.

    High expetations

    As a highly rated place with ques almost any hour you come, i just never came around eating there until now. Fun food but nothing special....definately a scene. If possible have one person spot and save a table for the rest. Fast turnover....

    take your tourist friends to Hakosem

    Hakosem means magician. This place is well deserving this name. Locals flock here at lunchtime, and sometimes an occasional tourist, who wil pleasantly blend within. The falafel is superb and so is the Humus and Tehina, and other accompanying sauces. Portions are lavish. The service...More

    Probably the best falafel in Tel Aviv.

    Great value and friendly staff. The falafel is just amazing! When the queue is long (and it most certainly can be) they hand out free falafels to the customers. Don't miss to order falafel in laffa if you are hungry. Ate here twice during a...More
