    Locale carino ma piccolo, i tavoli sono molto ravvicinati e la musica riempie la sala(piacevolmente a mio avviso). Il cibo è buono, le cameriere, preparate e molto gentili, consigliano di prendere piatti in condivisione (molto bello a parer mio), in 2 abbiamo preso 5 piatti e 2 cestini di pane (forse 3.50€ un po' esagerato per mezza pita e una fetta di pane), e siamo usciti molto sazi. Consiglio la barbabietola, i funghi ostrica, la patata schiacciata con tzatziki e il labneh, tutti da scarpettare rigorosamente. Il conto non è basso, ma riconosco una buona materia prima, e una lavorazione consapevole, che rendono l'esperienza piacevole e consigliata per chi ha voglia di provare una cucina contaminata.

    This is a charming newish restaurant near St Stephen's Basilica. The staff are warm, welcoming and knowledgeable. We enjoyed both cocktails and a glass of wine, accompanied by inventive and delicious small plates. We particularly recommend the spinach sour cream cigar and the lemon chicken shawarma. Good value for the quality!

    I really recommend Goli, we went there twice as the food was so good. Delicious sharing plates which were unbelievably tasty. The bread with labneh was wonderful. Beets done on charcoal were a revelation and the potatoes with sage was wonderful. Great cocktails, friendly staff and prompt service.

    I highly recommend the experience at Goli, from its open Kitchen and great ambience music that exits you upon arrival to its great dishes to share. A must are their home made drinks, the hazelnut my favorite.

    What a fantastic last meal to end our 18 days in Eastern Europe. Fantastic in food, service and ambiance. The owner is a Hungarian who has spent much time in Israel. His food is a innovative new twist on middle eastern deliciousness. Highly recommend

    Great food, great vibes and outstanding service! My only note would be that the volume of the music was a little too high - Depeding on the table it can be a bit hard to have a conversation. But overall great experience and would definitely recommend! Big love!
