Babar, one of the owners of Yakuta, began his journey in the kitchen at the age of six. He used to sit and watch his parents and grandparents cook up a storm of traditional North African cuisine. The original restaurant opened in 1965, and since then has moved a few times until it found its current location. Babar believes in preparing each dish to suit the individual customer’s personal preferences. At Yakuta, there is a huge menu, including favorites such as tajine dishes served in earthenware pots. Like any great restaurant in Israel, there is of course a selection of fresh salads on the side!
