Sima

Israeli Mediterranean Steakhouse
Book this restaurant

The mythical meat restaurant whose name has been around for over 40 years is in the heart of the Mahane Yehuda market.
Sima immigrated from Iraq in the early 1950s, and has always “had it” in everything to do with cooking, business, and the joy of life. In 1969, Sima initiated the establishment of the Jerusalem restaurant on Agrippa Street in the Mahane Yehuda market, which proudly bore her name – Sima.
In the beginning, the restaurant was based on home cooking and satisfied the hunger of the market workers. Over the years, the name of the restaurant went before it when the flagship dish was and is – the Jerusalem mix and the dinner crowd expanded beyond the residents of the capital.

Other Recommended Jewish Style Restaurants

Restaurants

Ishtabach

Ishtabach is a compact, unassuming locale serving fresh Kurdish pastries in Jerusalem’s Mahane Yehuda Market. The widely popular bakery-style restaurant is the brainchild of Chef Oren Sasson-Levy, who obtained inspiration from another realm. In the midst of a two-month coma, his grandmother came to him in a dream to explain he could achieve phenomenal success with anything he put his heart and soul into.  Oren decided to open a restaurant in her honor—and the phenomenally successful project has now fulfilled her legacy. Patrons pack out the quirky, tightly packed space on any given night to devour his delicious baked pastries and sip frothy beers. Unsure what to order? Try the signature Shamburak, a hearty Kurdish pastry chock full of veggies and exotic meats.

Restaurants

Shamouleh

It doesn’t get any more “classic Israeli kitchen” than Shamouleh and the food may put your Savtas cooking to shame. In the early morning, restaurant owner and head chef Shamouleh Nahmias comes into his restaurant to start preparing all the food from scratch. By ten o’clock, mouth watering aromas come wafting out of Shamouleh’s doors. Plates are piled high with rice, meats, and veggies; and bowls of kube are served to the brim with delicious beet broth.
Restaurants

Ima

Miryam Binyamin established one of Jerusalem's most beloved kitchens, Ima, in 1981 and has been feeding generations of sabras, olim, and tourists ever since. There is a saying in Israel that everything that comes out of mom’s kitchen is delicious, and sometimes there is nothing better or more needed than touching base with some good ole fashioned Israeli comfort food. The sort of comfort food that comes out of Miryam's iconic kitchen is more specifically Sephardi comfort food and it does not dissappoint.
Restaurants

Mona

The Mona group is a collective of restaurants and culinary experiences run by Chef Tomer Rosenfeld and headed by their flagship restaurant Mona. Nestled deep within the city of Jerusalem in one of the it's historic old stone houses, the tastes of home and simplicity are paramount in all the dishes at Mona. However, as Chef Tomer Rosenfeld likes to remind his patrons “simple is never actually simple," and with a selection of very few ingredients Mona turns out dishes of homemade taste with gourmet color and presentation. The simplicity of raw delicious food is a regular practice at Mona with dishes featuring styles such as sashimi and tartare.
