The legendary Orna and Ella restaurant doesn't really need any recommendations. This place is running for years and became a symbol of Tel Aviv and Shenkin st. The food is amazingly good, these women know how to cook! The atmosphere inside is warm and serene - the space is divided into three relatively small parts (the balcony is at the back). The service is good, nice and friendly.
You definitely do not want to miss out on the most famous dish for years - the yam patties: Delicately sweet with a great cream and chives dip. We also chose from their weekly specials menu: the risotto balls (great!) and the shrimps salad (good but too small). And for the main dish we took the meat pie - a mix of minced beef and chicken liver, gently spiced with mint (wow!).
The Orna and Ella restaurant is known all over the country and maybe also beyond. And their food is so good, that you will have to get in line to be able to eat here. Or you just call before to be put on the waiting list beforehand. Don't miss out on this place!

How to get there
