Opened by the two sisters and one brother of the Zakaim family in 2013 and under new management since 2017. Offers kosher food made from local and seasonal products. The restaurant, built and designed almost entirely by the brothers themselves, is an ecological space where all of the materials, dishes and furniture are secondhand. Try the hand-torn potato chips with house-made ketchup. Reported closed, May 2020.

Good atmosphere and great food - Edit
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 - Edit
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.

Best Beyond burger - Edit
The atmosphere is Rustic with most furniture and utensils recycled. Good music playing at the right volume.
Read moreThe 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.

wonderful vegan restaurant - Edit
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!

Wow!!! Top of the line! - Edit
While unfortunately, I have not been through their entire menu YET, it is really hard to go wrong here.
Read moreThey 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.

Authentic local vegan food - Edit
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! - Edit
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.

Delicious fun meal - Edit
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.

Definitely worth a visit! - Edit
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!
