Some call it the Middle-Eastern ratatouille, others think it’s a relative of the Balkan’s famous “lecho”, but as for me, I look at it as a unique perfection of its own, one of the must-try dishes when in Tel Aviv. Shakshouka is a dish composed of spiced-up tomatoes and peppers, topped with a sunny-side-up egg. Fried and cooked in a pan, often pimped out with grilled onions and eggplant, some even dare to experiment with zucchini, spinach and tofu. With our help now you can find your path in the street food labyrinth and get the best shakshouka in Tel Aviv.

After the king, we arrive at the queen; Orna and Ella’s tofu shakshouka is so velvety, so pure and perfect, it’s a sin to miss out on it. The owners are a lovely team, managing this sophisticated yet simple restaurant for over one and a half decades.
The venue is in the middle of the once hipster-favorite, these days more urban, Shenkin street, and it’s also famous for being an important location of the shooting of the internationally-known Israeli movie, The Bubble.
