AI Summary

Israeli-inspired Fitzroy St shuk with bold mezze, slow-cooked brisket and Tel Aviv party energy.

Intimate and energetic with Hebrew music and a Middle Eastern party atmosphere that reviewers compare to arriving in Tel Aviv. Sexy, cool fitout with mood lighting. Can shift from chill dinner spot to celebratory drinks venue. Music and atmosphere are central to the experience.

Wednesday half-price skewer night. Feed Me banquet menu option for groups. Complimentary arak offered for special occasions. Creative cocktail menu with unique Middle Eastern-inspired combinations. Cheese and spinach börek alongside breakfast items in the mornings. Börek and coffee on day trade.

Strong Israeli-Middle Eastern authenticity: chraime, arak, hummus, Jerusalem Shepherd's Pie, börek, and Hebrew music create an immersive setting. Israeli and Jewish community reviewers describe it as tasting 'like home' and comparing it favourably to Tel Aviv food.

Mid-range at around $30 per head without drinks. The Feed Me banquet at $65 per person is considered good value when the full menu is available. À la carte is well-priced for the quality and ambience, though some reviewers note the set menu can disappoint if menu items run out.
