TinoApril 30, 2017You can hardly find a more authentic Middle East atmosphere than here. Excellent food is hidden everywhere, also in the nearby streets. Two signs: many locals and everything only in Hebrew.

Sigalle BarnessSeptember 16, 2016A must visit! This shook has it all - Halva, Turkish Delight, Fresh Pita, Borekas, spices - you name it, it's there. Take your time and wander the stalls taking in all the sights, sounds, and smells.

Emma ShelbyDecember 18, 2015Definetly crowded and takes time to learn how to get around, but by far my favorite place in Tel Aviv. Go there before sunset, grab a few Le'chamim cheese sticks and some tomatoes and make a picnic

J9 HAugust 13, 2013Try the pasta shop just before the entrance at the right corner. A lot of selections and cheapest pasta you can find in TLV. Great tasting too.Upvote1Downvote
Jakob D.June 17, 2014The 7 shekel falafel they sold in one of the stands here when I visited was the best (and cheapest) falafel in Tel Aviv. You cant miss it, they announce the price at the top of their lungs. :)Upvote2Downvote
Josef SzottenApril 13, 2015Love this place. Such chaos - loads of great looking fruit, veg, spices and nuts etc. lots of tourists but also normal Israelis doing their shopping. Well worth a visitUpvoteDownvote
Yuri IchijōMarch 31, 2016At the end of the day it's just a market, but the food is really good. Especially the burika/boureka in the southern part of the market. They also have sugar-sprinkled doughnuts.UpvoteDownvote- Volker FränkleOctober 2, 2017Authentic market in Tel Aviv. Unfortunately, city majority has plans to transform it into a standard market area. This will be a loss for the city.Upvote1Downvote

Federica BowmanMay 15, 2012There's a great open air cafe in the middle serving great coffee and a selection of fresh dishes. Sit for a while and soak up the hustle and bustle of Tel Aviv life around you.Upvote1Downvote
