"A discovery for me on this trip was the flaky Yemenite Jewish flatbread known as malawach. We had it at Saluf & Sons in Tel Aviv's Levinsky Market area along with a tomato sauce, tons of zhug (spicy green chile sauce), and a few cold beers."

"Start with the 'kubaneh' to have fresh, hot bread with a variety of dips, and follow up with a flaky 'malawach' wrap (fried pancake-like Yemenite bread) paired with a 'shawia' beef stew over couscous."

"Saluf & Sons is one of the places in Tel Aviv where you can eat on a budget and get one of the best Hummus in the city."

"In the heart of the endearingly chaotic Levinsky Market—a mix of spice shops, dried goods, and cafes—this restaurant offers terrific modern Yemenite fare, from wonderful olive oil–kissed hummus to zesty lentil soup."

"My weakness, while in Israel, is hummus with mushrooms and caramelized onions, and this beauty at Saluf & sons did not disappoint."

"The hummus was the perfect partner-in-crime — rich, smokey and creamy with a slight hint of garlic and lemon."

"Another highlight is malawach, paper-thin layers of puff pastry, brushed with oil or fat and cooked flat in a frying pan, served with a variety of fillings and toppings and green zhug, a spicy chili and cilantro sauce."

"Excellent, excellent hummus. Something like Nutella meets peanut butter, only helthy. I thought I've already tried the best one until I've tried this one."
"A must if you're in Tel Aviv - I have taken a bunch of people here and never been disappointed. Loved the Shawia too - slow cooked beef with yemenite spices."
