"Azura is a simple lunch place that serves superb examples of Jewish food from all across the Middle East, particularly Turkey and the Levant. They make a luscious mejadra, which is the ultimate comfort food."

Ben Groundwater

"This is another of those simple dishes that is far greater than the sum of its parts. Lentils are cooked with rice in a rich stock before being served with sweetly caramelised onions. Sample it at Azura in the Jerusalem markets."

"They serve hummus, but that’s not what you really come to Azura for. You come for homemade dishes influenced by Turkish, Kurdish, and Iraqi cuisine, like mujaddara."

Spirit of the Holy Land

"Dishes such as the famous rice-with-beans are served here all day until they are sold out. An authentic food experience you do not want to miss!"

Tourist Israel

"For delicious homemade dishes look no further than Azura. Well-loved dishes here include magadra (a combination of rice, lentils, and onions)."
