We had a reservation at Haachim about a month ago and were really disappointed. We were first seated at a bad table and asked to move. After waiting, we were given another table, right next to the waiters’ station. The spot was even worse, but since the hostess had already given us attitude when we asked to move the first time, we didn’t feel comfortable asking again. While we were sitting there, about five waiters stood right next to us, laughing, chatting, and even taking chasers together. Despite us clearly holding menus and trying to make eye contact, no one came over or acknowledged us. It felt like we were invisible. After sitting there for 20 minutes without any service, we just got up and left. Very disappointing experience. Not coming back.

Wonderful place. Its name is in Hebrew only but means Brothers in English. Very spacious. You can sit inside or outside. At the entrance there's a small vegetable garden growing tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, limes, and others. In the summer time, sitting outside can be quite challenging if you are very loved by mosquitoes. The food is wonderful. We really enjoyed it. The recommendation includes Fish Msa'hen and Hot Masbaha out of the small dishes. We also ordered Eggplant which was immersed in tahini with rich flavor. Leaf salad is very fresh and refreshing.

One of the tastiest restaurants in Tel Aviv! Ha'Acim (The Brothers) delivers simple and delicious food that is great for sharing. The small plates and starters are a must, my personal favorites are the Fried Artichokes with Labneh (Greek Yogurt) and Grilled Kohlrabi. If you are around in the weekend then the Friday brunch (all you can eat buffet) is a must-try, though it must be booked at least a couple of weeks ahead of time. Place has a great lively atmosphere and serves really interesting, relatively cheap cocktails.

Like a criminal returning to the crime scene, I find my self keep returning to this wonderful and corrupted place, time and again over the years. There is one definite conclusion: consistently excellent place and great service. No point for blurbs about individual dishes because they are all very tasty.

Amazing place to have lunch, they got a great deal at lunchtime and the meals are so amazing that you enjoy eating them. The staff are great, the food comes out in time. You don't wait a lot. Mediterranean food. If you are looking to try something new, this is the place you should go.
