Emily M.: If Zahav had a funky teenager, Dizengoff would be it. INCREDIBLE hummus, colorful decor. Perfect for a snack; get a plate of hummus (comes with a couple other goodies and a pita) to split with a pal!
Brian: Get the regular hummus with an extra pita. Tasty.
Elaine Lee: Try all the hummus. They are all good but my favorite is still tehina. The fresh pita is great. Wish they had the laffa bread from Zahav though.

Michael Kauffman: Salatim (salad/tapas assortment) with hummus and fresh-baked pita. Perfection. World-class.
Lauren Mac: Grab happy hour at the bar & hope that Gabriel will be there to take care of you for cocktails (Z&T!) & recs. Don't miss the Branzino or fried cauliflower, but honestly, the fresh pita is the best!

Adam Greenfield: The hummus hasn't changed in 30 years, and it's every bit as good as it was then. Pita too!

Shoshana Schiller: Haven't been here in ages, but went on Friday. I had forgotten how good it was. It still gives all the new restaurants a run for their money.
