About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Healthy
  • Neighborhood gem
Crafted by the visionary minds who brought you Doris Metropolitan and Badolina Bakery & Café, Hamsa emerges as a radiant gem in the culinary landscape, celebrating the vibrant flavors of Israel. Revel in the artistry of our hummus creations, succulent grilled skewers, and perfectly charred pitas. Indulge in the symphony of flavors with our salatim, a delightful array of vegetable-based delights that promise to tantalize your taste buds.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Yotam

From the OpenTable editors: With a Moorish arch-framed bar, clusters of olive trees, and colorful Turkish rugs, a meal at this buzzy Israeli spot is a fully immersive experience. Grab a seat in the energetic dining room or on the charming patio for shareable Middle Eastern-inspired small plates, grilled meat skewers, and arak flights. Come on Thursday evenings to be dazzled by belly dancers in traditional garb and beats from local DJs.

    The food and service were excellent! We were celebrating a birthday, and the added entertainment of belly dancers made the evening all the more unique. I will definitely return for future special events.

    We come here frequently for the fresh salads and especially the lamb hummus. We have tried the Fixed Price lunch menu twice. Entree portions are way to small for the price, but the variety is good. Service and food are sometimes slow, but we love the servers and quality of the food there!
