Wow! What a great place.
Was a very cute place, had tons of vegan options and noticed lots of gluten free. The vegan and non vegan were delicious. The chef came out to make sure we were getting what we wanted and service was amazing. One of the few mehadrin places in Tel Aviv. Will definitely be coming back and trying more.
I'll start with the food and drinks -
1.) Buffalo chicken wings - broken bones in almost every piece!
It was not proper pieces of wings, but rather pieces of chicken chopped through the bone, mostly pieces of shoulder part of wings with the skinny part chopped off, which makes them round and awkward,, but also chicken back (???), so it was very messy to eat, the meat was a little dry, depending on the part and small pieces of broken bones in almost every "wing" is unacceptable (this is the craziest thing to serve chicken wings like this, it's not even safe and there is absolutely no reason for this, it really blew my mind, the waiter acted surprised when I told him this, so maybe I got unlucky and they usually don't do this. Update: I searched for wings on other pictures in reviews and they actually look normal, so I guess I just got "lucky").
Also the blue cheese sauce was very thin (should be thicker, but this is no big deal).
Good thing about the wings is they are fried pretty nicely (batter tasted good and crispy under the spicy sauce) and coated well in very spicy sauce (I like spicy), but the other stuff completely ruins it.
2.) The portions are not big at all, unlike some popular review here says. A portion of tacos is just 2 small tacos. (The portions for appetizers are normal, but tacos felt even smaller than our previous appetizers)
3). The carnes (beef) tacos were tasty, but I asked to make them spicy and I guess they forgot or thought that a tiny slice of pepper on top is enough (which I tried separately and it tasted like sweet bell pepper), this is not a big deal, but a little disappointing.
4.) The fish tacos are made with deep fried fish (it says so in the menu, so there was no surprise here), which is unusual and we thought that they weren't very good, not because there was something wrong with them, but just a big chunk of deep fried fish in a taco didn't go well with guacamole.
5.) Fried calamari was good (nothing special here, pieces were small, so the ratio of batter to calamari is very high, but I kinda like that, they were fried nicely).
6.) No 0% alcohol beer - I know this type of beer is not popular in Israel, but spicy mexican food goes very well with beer and it's really disappointing they didn't have any, such an easy thing to add to a menu for people behind the wheel or who don't drink alcohol, but instead they have no gluten beer...
7.) Wife had alcohol free margarita, it was good and reasonably priced (we didn't find it in the menu, so we were wondering how much could it cost - it's 18 nis, while normal margarita is around 50)
Positives - nice atmosphere, the waiter was very pleasant, when he asked how was the food I had to ask why in the world are their "wings" like that and he seemed surprised and offered a dessert on the house, we had chocolate mousse, it was pretty good.
Overall I was disappointed with the food and I personally would not come back, although it has a fun atmosphere and good service.
P.s. My wife liked it more than me, so I can't say that I don't recommend it, I think many people will enjoy it, especially if they come for a fun atmosphere and food is secondary for them.
I have visited the restaurant twice so far and each time the experience was amazing, the food and service are definitely at a high level and you can see that they really invest and make the most of their efforts to have a good vegan or vegetarian experience for visitors, honestly it is not that different from "normal" food that is available in all the other places
I am personally a vegetarian with a sensitivity to gluten, and their large selection of dishes is amazing for me.
I highly recommend the place and their menu, I also highly recommend the desserts, especially their cheesecake and chocolate.
Kudos to the staff and the cooks and those who build the menu, you have created an amazing place!!
I wish abundance and prosperity to the place!!
I am excited about my next visit to the place :)
The tastiest gluten-free pita I've ever tasted! They really like celiacs here, they are very strict about sterility and indulge extra. I am a celiac who regularly eats falafel here
Nice place overall.
We took starters and they were nice and nothing more. We didn't fly over the food, so I'm not sure we'll go back again.
There are gluten-free markings, which is a positive point.
Nice atmosphere.
The most delicious gluten-free bread in the universe and the one with the silan is a dream and the crackers are amazing and the bagels are amazing Everything is delicious and wonderful service with a smile is the best there is
I have Celiac and restaurants with a lot of gluten free options are few and far between. This restaurant had an extensive gluten free menu and the staff were knowledgeable and made sure my food was safe. I was served by Roni and she helped me translate the menu from Hebrew to English and was able to answer all of my food-related questions. Everything I ate was good, though it wasn’t anything to write home about. I had beef skewers with white rice, gf pad thai, and vanilla mochi which came to a total of $32.42. I would definitely eat here again!
Would not recommend. We waited 1,5 hours for 2 pizzas to arrive, even though we live very close to the restaurant. The gluten-free pizza is VERY small, not a lot of value for your money. The pizza was not a good experience to eat. Very dry, almost no sauce. Disappointing way to end the weekend.
I gave 2 stars because the ingredients were fresh, and I admire them for offering a gluten-free pizza in the first place.

The food is delicious and varied. Great service.
We asked for food with a million special requests, vegan, gluten-free... and we received everything in a great way with cooperation between all the waiters, who knew exactly what everyone ordered. The restaurant is full and there is still privacy.
Excellent restaurant. Italian village atmosphere. The most authentic Italian food there is. Excellent products. And most importantly - gluten-free friendly! Score of 100
I sat with a friend for lunch on Hol HaMoed. First of all, the dishes are adapted for Passover for those who are interested (gluten-free pizza and pasta - available all year round) and the service was wow!!! There was a dish that we didn't like, they immediately replaced it, without making a fuss, offering another dish from the menu. They were treated to a hot drink at their own expense and the AHMS was kind and charming!! For sure we will be back
Gluten-free confectionery/patisserie.. a selection of cakes, eclairs, chocolates, puff macarons, cakes, cookies and much more.. I ordered a pistachio eclair and a personal cake with coffee, there are seats.. I enjoyed it
I really enjoyed Balinjera! The majority of the menu is gluten free and the female server is very knowledgeable about Celiac. It was fun to have something new and different while in Tel Aviv.

I arrived at the vestibule on Friday at noon.
The whole experience was at a very high level, we did not wait in line and from the moment we sat down directly a waitress approached us and offered to help us choose (the variety on the menu is crazy) a dish.
Very quickly they brought us a pitcher of water to the table, we didn't even have time to finish it and ask for more and they already replaced us with a full one so I can say that the service is among the best I've had the chance to experience.
And as for the food, I ordered the hamburger named "The tastiest is free" which was simply amazing and the dish arrived the fastest I've ever received, it arrived so quickly that it took me longer to figure out what I wanted to order than it took for the dish to arrive.
The hamburger was well made, tasty and decadent (the degree of doing is standard for everyone) murder.
In the past I ordered the animal style fries but I dined with someone sensitive to gluten so this time we took the "Heavy Fries" which were nice fries and a bite with presence with great sauces.
All in all, among the best hamburger options in Tel Aviv, even though it is not the most accessible to get to like other options, I recommend coming especially because the vestibule is very much worth it.
Cafe and restaurant Gan Sefer in Herzliya, is located at one of the entrances to Herzliya Park, close to the train station. The branch is spacious and pleasant, tastefully decorated, creating a special atmosphere of a combination of design and lighting, surrounded by the view of the garden and opposite the Seven Stars Mall. There is plenty of parking, at the entrance there is a fountain that produces a pleasant flowing noise. Spacious tables and chairs are scattered around, in winter the outdoor area of the restaurant is covered. The place is usually busy in the evening so it is advisable to make a reservation in advance, when we entered there were people waiting. The staff is courteous and smiling, the service is fast and very good, the shift manager provides a quality response to requests. Happily, the menu has several types of delicious vegan dishes, as well as gluten-free dishes. Although the vegan chocolate cake dessert was too sweet and less tasty. All the dishes are large and satisfying, the experience of sitting in the place is great, recommended, we will be back.
Great experience at this place, food was delicious. They have gluten free bread as an option for sandwiches and toast, as well as one type of gluten free cookies
Very tasty food and great atmosphere..we sat outside, and although the weather was pleasant, fans did the fact well
Chestnut gnocchi was excellent, and bruschetta is also recommended
In addition, there are gluten-free dishes with good attention to allergies
It was a perfect event at Mikasa! The atmosphere was pleasant and warm, the food was delicious, the staff was pleasant and available. There were varied dishes and a selection, nothing was missing, also on the drinking side. Along with the regular dishes, there were also dishes adapted for vegans and gluten-free. The food came out on time and everything was timed properly. The staff helped us in choosing suitable music, starting a kahoot and another performance. The place itself is very beautiful and combines a pleasant and warm interior with a beautiful and blooming garden. We would love to go back there again!!
