Editorial Review for Little Tel-Aviv – by Amy Goetzman

In Short
This is a coffee shop, sit-down restaurant and takeout counter--all in one very small space. Although the cafeteria-issue plastic tables and tiny, spartan space lacks personality, the eager-to-please staff works hard to bring warmth to the scene. Little Tel Aviv fills a niche with a variety of kosher entrees. Grilled sandwiches feature sesame buns filled with roasted veggies or tuna and Isreali cheese. The dessert case has chocolate babka, fancy French Napoleons and éclairs.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

The best Baba Ganush I have ever had! I love this restaurant - everything is good. Anyone can find something to eat here and be happy. I live out of state and only miss 3 restaurants - this is at the top of the short list.

Pros: Food, service

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I am from Israel, and have been searching for years for real Israeli food, not just what the Mid-West calls Middle Eastern. This place feels like home. Yes, the tables are boring and it's in a strip mall. But the food is always fresh, the pitas are the best in town (I always buy a bag to take home) and the service is warm and fast. I brought a friend here whose idea of eating "out of the box" is ranch dressing with her chicken fingers. She loved it! There are plenty of options for those not familiar with Israeli food: great egg salad, fresh salads, and the best falafel in town for the beginner as well as the expert . I highly recommend the Nana tea with fresh mint leaves. A bit spendy but worth the splurg since the rest of the menu is so reasonable.

Pros: Great fresh authentic food. Nana tea, awsome fries.

Cons: Strip mall, ambience lacking, deli.
