Good atmosphere and great food

It was a nice experience with friendly staff. We ordered some cauliflower nuggets that were absolutely delicious as starter, and the main dishes were great too! Highly recommend. The food also had a homely feel to it.

Great food, excellent service

Food was so good. Our server was brilliant too. Nice vibe. We had 2 starters and a main between 2 of us and were soooo full by time we left. Ended up here as green roll was shut and we're glad as I think we'd have overlooked this place otherwise.

Pros: Tasty food, nice atmosphere.

Cons: None

Best Beyond burger

The atmosphere is Rustic with most furniture and utensils recycled. Good music playing at the right volume.

The burger (Beyond meat) is done to perfection. While most places will overcook it 'till it's rubbery and hard, here it's pink, holds together but falls apart in your mouth and very juicy.
The three condiments that come with it are a great pairing - each on its own and mixed together.
All in all - great experience.

Pros: Fully vegan. Great cooks.

Cons: A bit on the expensive side.

We were 2 vegans and 4 meat eaters and almost everyone enjoyed the food, especially the beyond meat serving, which was delicious.

Pros: Beyond meat serving, Location

Cons: Decoration

wonderful vegan restaurant

You might even forget that this place is vegan, since the menu is wholly focused on the glory of the ingredients rather than simply finding substitutes for meat dishes. Friendly staff and great variety!

Pros: friendly , quality , variety

Wow!!! Top of the line!

While unfortunately, I have not been through their entire menu YET, it is really hard to go wrong here.
They have healthier offerings and more "Junkier" vegan options as well. But everything they make, i feel it would be hard to make better.
Their beyond burger is excellent and the fries and dips it's served with put it over the top. The "chips" or french fries are like no mere mortal french fries, they are what happens when potatoes go to heaven and the Yellow vegan mayo dip is unreal. (To save if you are ordering as a couple you can order 1 burger and 1 burger with chips and share the chips as the portion is massive).
The Shakshuka is not classic, and it;s very tomatoey, but the lentil patties are delicious and it's very fresh and top quality.
Even the chopped liver which sounds plain comes with excellent bread and melts in your mouth.
Not to be outdone is the chill vibe and atmosphere of the place and of the mini "backyard" outdoor area.
Between the range of uniquely prepared Israeli cuisine and it's phenomenal quality, it is a flagship restaurant which shows why Tel Aviv is referred to as the Vegan Capital of the World.

Pros: Top quality, fresh, and healthy offerings. , Generous portions and Great Atmosphere, Kosher Certified!

Cons: Can be packed. Make reservations 4 Dinner or , you will wait for a table.

Best vegan burger I’ve ever had. The hand-torn potato fries were great, also loved the black lentil pate and Turkish aubergine dish.

Authentic local vegan food

Visited here as part of a vegan food tour and really fell in love with the ambiance and the food. The shakshuka was lovely and the olive bread that accompanied it was among the best bread I’ve ever tasted - light and hearty at the same time. The hand torn fries were delicious. As a new Zero Waste vegan I also very much appreciated that the dishes and cutlery were secondhand and given new life in this cozy space. Highly recommend.

A must!

Nice location with special character. The staff was friendly, nice, and efficient. The restaurant offers a business menu that includes an appetizer, a main dish, and a drink for ₪59/₪69. The food was amazing and came in big portions. Definitely one of my favorite restaurants in Tel Aviv.

Special mention to the supercute and adorable dog!

Pros: Amazing food, Friendly staff, Big servings

Delicious fun meal

I ate at zakaim with a big group of family including several non-vegans and everyone enjoyed the food - especially the meat eaters (as soon as we finished eating, they were already making plans to return). We ordered nearly half of the menu to share among the table and every dish was enjoyable. The oyster mushroom dish (daily special, served on a bread base with a delicious sauce) was absolutely delicious. The 60 minute Mangold boreka (should be ordered as you sit down because it actually takes about an hour to cool) was also a favorite dish. In my opinion, the various sauces/dips (mayonnaise, matbucha, etc.) served with the many of the dishes elevate the food to another level. I enjoyed the buz burger (their name for the Beyond Meat hamburger epsecially due to the sauces served with it, but other people at the table were less impressed.

Pros: Great food

Different ownership now.

This restaurant has changed owners. We went for lunch and menu was a very limited set lunch. It was very different from our visit there. The service was very friendly, but food was very basic.

Definitely worth a visit!

Went to Zakaim a couple of years ago, they have now changed owners and the restaurant is now Kosher. It took us a while to get served, however to be fair they were pretty busy. We ordered the oyster mushroom skewers and the new Beyond Meat burger with hand torn fries on the side and also a beer and a refreshing watermelon cocktail. Some items on the menu were unavailable. All the food we tried was delicious and the service was good and friendly. Would definitely recommend and we will definitely be going back!

Pros: Tasty and authentic food, Friendly staff

Cons: Service a little slow to start

The hand-torn fries were especially delicious.

Order conservatively as order sizes were quite generous. Staff was very nice. Seating area was spacious.

Great lunch

Had the “business lunch” got lots of different small dishes plus main course and drink. It was all very well prepared and tasty. Very filling. Go for the broiled mushrooms.

Incredible vegan food

I really like this place.

The people running Zakaim are so friendly and welcoming.

I was really hungry, and had the Tahini Plate, a mint lemonade, and Aubergines are Friends. The Tahini Plate was really good. And the Aubergines were just amazing!

I like the homey atmosphere. Very comfy.

I'll definitely be going back.

Pros: Great food, friendly, nice environment
