★★★★★ 5.0 Andrew Bottiger · Feb 2026

Excellent eatery and experience all around. Offerings are sumptuous and nutritious, catered through casual yet highly informed staff. The pasta is an exceptional standout, made in house and perfectly al dente. Special tanks to Andrew Max and Sebastian for heading a fantastic evening. Edit: to add that Coming Home by Leon Bridges was playing upon our arrival, an absolute welcoming plus.

I didn’t think Malka could get any better but then brunch happened! Amazing!! My new favorite meal! The salatim were amazing. I can’t believe how good the mohammura and tomato and caper sauce were- I didn’t even think I liked capers until I tried and loved that sauce! Please never get rid of brunch!! Maya was an incredible server. She went above and beyond to make sure our every need was attended to. I saw her check in with parties waiting at the host stand while the host was seating other guests. When I inquired about a straw, she states you had no straws but offered to go next door and get one for me- a completely generous and gracious offer I declined but it showed how hospitable she is. Maya joins the ranks of David as our favorite servers at Malka! Btw you can upgrade your brunch to

My favorite restaurant in the world is North Abraxas in Tel Aviv. To find this sister Eyal Shani UWS restaurant was amazing. The food and drinks were delicious and carried the same vibe and friendly service I find in TLV. Whole Branzino, bluefin tuna with lettuce and challah and the hummus were standouts. Only critique was I wanted to order Israeli white wine but they don’t have it on their list - but still a 10/10 place

★★★★☆ 4.0 Joanie A · Nov 2025

Upscale Israeli food. The food was very good. The lamb bilini was the highlight. Also really enjoyed the tuna. The menu is confusing and requires an explanation from the servers, but they are lovely and friendly explaining everything in detail. The place is hopping and definitely get a reservation. It's loud and lively on a week night.
