The hummus is delicious, there are both gluten-free and spelled pitas, everyone and their limitations are addressed. Charming, kind and helpful people. Excellent experience
Excellent experience, we came with our daughter that has celiac, and she enjoyed the food and the desert, many thanks to Lior the owner and the staff that made sure she can eat safely and enjoy her lunch. The vanilla milkshake is from Ben&Jeris vanilla ice cream.
My partner and I heard about a "gluten-free evening" and immediately reserved a place. In Be'er Sheva, in general, it's hard to find places that are gluten-free and considered delicious and special.
But unfortunately we were very disappointed, we sat down at a table that looked clean but its edges were dirty and all our clothes were stained with sauce that left a disgusting stain. Then we ordered pesto ravioli and white pizza, that is, pizza with only cheeses and truffle oil and almonds. The pasta arrived quickly and was really nice, but when we finished it, the waitress came to say that the kitchen was delayed with the pizzas and that if we wanted to wait, it would take another 10/15 minutes for the pizza to arrive. In the end, 20 minutes passed before our pizza arrived, which looked so uninviting, didn't look like pizza at all, and tasted like melted yellow cheese on unbaked dough. We tried to give the pizza another chance because we said it wasn't gluten-free. Maybe it takes a little getting used to, but no... The taste was unbearable and to our great regret, we returned the pizza to the kitchen. The great disappointment made us want to get up and leave, and when we asked for the bill and received it, we saw that the pasta sauce cost 80 shekels! For 10 pieces of ravioli with gluten-free cheese in pesto sauce..... What a shame! We live a gluten-free life and are aware of the complexity of the cooking method and the costs of the ingredients... and yet 80 shekels for 10 pieces of ravioli is really, really excessive. In any case, we were very disappointed and probably won't go back there.
Since the management changed, the business is trying to innovate and that is certainly welcome - whether it is food for celiacs or special shawarma dishes. However, the service experience was disappointing.
The first time I came, the credit card payment didn't go through even though all the cards were working fine at a nearby business at the time. Even when I offered to pay in Bit or Paybox to ease the situation, I received a cold attitude and no real desire to help.
The second time, the business owner's wife refused to accept a NIS 200 bill claiming that "their accountant recommended against it" following discussions in the media about future cancellation of the bill. This was completely strange and I have never encountered such an attitude anywhere else.
During the previous management there were never such problems, and the atmosphere was much more pleasant and inviting.
It's a shame, because there is good potential, but this behavior alienates customers.
Lior Arad, who is the beating heart of Amir Hatamer, knows how to prepare gluten-free delicacies, the prices are reasonable and the food arrives fresh, delicious and in a mold that is designed either for the oven or for freezing and then for the oven. I usually buy from her when I have guests who are sensitive to gluten and they are satisfied.
A sweet and quiet cafe, you get personal attention and amazing hospitality. We received an answer to every smallest request, a huge selection, large sizes and very, very good prices! I ate borax for LJ which was tastier than any normal borax I ate with gluten (even a friend who is not sensitive to gluten testified). Many thanks to Shelly and her husband for a warm and pleasant stay, we had a great time and I will come back again!
Celiac friendly
