Best WLM Reviews

This was beyond my expectations! The food is fresh and flavorful. The hummus is the best I’ve had in the city. The cocktails were really nice and our waiter as well as the entire staff was fantastic. I would recommend everything we had and would love to come back for more since we couldn’t try everything. The short rib was wonderful balanced with a great spice to it, the potatoes were yummy and the cauliflower was lightly fried and seasoned so nicely. We drank the Yalla which is like a margarita and the Matos which is like a Paper Plane. I finished with a glass of the Meishar which is similar to a cabernet sauvignon. The portions were fairly substantial and we left quite full.
I absolutely loved everything about my dinner here. The staff was so friendly and attentive, and helped me pick the food. They checked in on me regularly even though I was sitting at the farthest outside table. The food was unique, delicious, and made me want to keep trying more. I sat outside next to the bus stop which wasn't great for the atmosphere, but still enjoyable, and the interior looked very nice.
Absolutely delicious Israeli food!
We went there for Brunch and we really enjoyed the food, service and atmosphere of this place.
We especially enjoyed the Hummus, the fried olives, their pita, and the shawarma.
It was a wonderful experience, can't wait to go back!
All in all I had a really enjoyable time here. We ordered a few different dishes all which were beautifully presented and had good flavor although I felt some could have used a bit more acidity. I loved the market salad, the hummus, the cauliflower and the salmon. The branzino and prawns weren’t as fresh and the branzino was a little overcooked. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate us which I really appreciated.
Transcendent israeli food. Super friendly staff. Great vibes. Definitely grab the fried olives and whipped feta. Branzino and Salmon were great too.
I visited this upscale restaurant with coworkers a few weeks ago. They have great desserts. We got three of them to split and each was sweet in its own distinct way. I ordered their steak and was a bit disappointed because it tasted overcooked. I think the surface was overly charred even if the meat inside was cooked fine.
The food was stunningly delicious, well presented and with an individual touch to traditional middle Eastern delicacies like hummus. Service was excellent, professional and hospitable. When the restaurant got really busy after 7 pm on a Saturday, it became a bit noisy. Nevertheless, an eating experience! Money well spend!
What an amazing place.
The appetizers are super flavorful and great table shares. The cocktails are perfectly curated to compliment the menu. The staff is attentive and friendly.
Favorite dishes were:
-fluke ceviche with pineapple, cilantro, gooseberries
-corn tempura with feta and corn puree
-fried olives with labneh and harissa oil
