Dr. Shakshuka
Although the name Dr. Shakshuka may be slightly misleading, make no mistake the title has been earned! Bino Gabso was born to slice shawarma, long before he learned to make shakshuka. At the entrance of Yaffo he is busy preparing the best lamb shawarma in the country! His shawarmas bing locals and tourists alike from all parts of the country and no one leaves without a full belly and a smile on their faces. This extremely tasty dish is served with a large variety of salads and dressings, including filfel chuma (spicy garlic-pepper sauce) and eggplant. If you have time to spare, enjoy the hearty shawarma and view in the pastoral yard.
Ha’Sabich Shel Ovad
Few will argue with Ovad Daniel’s claim to have the best dish in the world! While sabich is seemingly a simple sandwich to prepare, Ovad’s quirky and theatrical nature, along with his exceptionally fresh ingredients have earned him the title of Israel’s most revered sabich-maker. Served in a warm pita, the dish contains fried eggplant, hard-boiled eggs, salads, and an array of rich sauces, such as hamba and tahini.
Hummus Osol
At the entrance to Rosh Pina, lies a small and colorful hummus restaurant- Hummus Osol.

Some also say that the homestyle labaneh, a creamy, thick, yogurt cheese, is not to be missed!
Falafel Ha’Schuna
The special thing about Falafel Ha’Schuna is that since 1978, nothing has changed.

Crispy falafel balls and fresh pita seem to be amongst the things that a good falafel stand needs, as the popularity of Falafel Ha’Schuna is only increasing with the years!
Shawarma Eemaleh
After realizing what a success Falafel Abaleh (Daddy’s Falafel) was, his wife decided not stop at falafel and opened a shawarma branch- Shawarma Eemaleh (Mummy’s Shawarma)! Their shawarma is made from fresh and good quality spring chicken, mixed with sheep lard. The spices used on the chicken are light enough to just compliment the chicken beautifully, without overpowering the natural flavor of the meat. On the side, one can brighten up their plate with fresh salads, and Eemleh’s fantastic, homemade, tangy amba!
Ha’Horim Spices
