<h2 style="text-align:justify;">The Smoothest Hummus</h2><p>Hummus Shel Tehina near the Mahane Yehuda Market has become one of the top institutions for high-quality hummus and tehina at reasonable prices that harken back to the days when the shuk&nbsp;was still a working man's market. Known best for it's extra smooth and creamy hummus, Hummus Shel Tehina is a bastion of delicious homestyle cooking and warm service that'll make you feel right at home.</p><h3>&nbsp;</h3><h3>The Menu</h3><p>Hummus is obviously the star here, and it comes out freshly made, warm and absolutely delicious with a side of pita bread (white or whole wheat) and house-made pickles with the option for a refill on your hummus (if you can handle it). If hummus isn't enough, you can also order up sides of falafel, salads, home fries and soup in the winter. And if you've had enough hummus, try the famous hetzi-hetzi masbaha -- a variation of hummus with whole chickpeas and more tehina. You won't regret it. For those with a sweet-tooth, don't worry.&nbsp;</p><p>There's plenty of desserts to go around. Hummus Shel Tehina also does take-away and pre-ordered meals for group dinners and events, and once a year they celebrate "The Great Day of Hummus", when every guest gets a free sample of hummus. &nbsp;</p>

Pinati restaurants are the natural choice for anyone opting to experience an authentic Israeli-style hummus experience.

<h2>Just Like Mom Used to Make</h2>
Ima is a family-owned restaurant in the Nahlaot neighborhood that's been a Jerusalem favorite for over 30 years. Though she's trained a talented kitchen staff, Miriam Binyamin, the original Mom, is still known to cook at the restaurant even today preparing her signature simple, but tasty Mediterranean and Middle Eastern classics.
<h3>What's on the menu?</h3>
At Ima, you'll find all your Mediterranean and Middle Eastern favorites, including kubeh soup (meat or vegetarian), stuffed vegetables, salads and main courses like the fish of the day, Middle Eastern meatballs, chicken skewers, schnitzel, Jerusalem mix grill and much more.

Lunch is a popular hour at Ima thanks to the generous business lunch deal, but don't be shy about stopping by for dinner with friends or even a date and pairing your meal with a nice bottle of wine from the restaurant's choice collection. Ima can also host private events and offers a variety of special menus to suit any occasion.
<h3>Additional Information</h3>
Ima is certified kosher under the supervision of the Jerusalem Rabbinate.

<h2>Fine Casuale Food with a homely touch and an authentic Jerusalem atmosphere</h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Hamarakia has been one of Jerusalem's most beloved "food institutions" for over 16 years now. The restaurant is located on a side street, in a quiet corner at the city center, and it is known for its unique atmosphere and delicious soups. The restaurant is eclectically designed and soup is served in colorful bowls. Hamarakia feels like a living room where you can enjoy fine food, meet all sorts of people, watch intimate live shows, and dive into that Jerusalem mood.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">At the Hamarakia, the food has 3 main features: it needs to be fresh, it needs to be of the highest quality, and the taste has to be absolutely divine. All dishes are cooked on the spot, served hot and made of the freshest raw ingredients. The service is great and the staff is professional.  The food is served in a homely spirit, and the prices are affordable for everyone.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So what's on the menu? The soup menu changes daily. If you're lucky, try the bean soup, leek soup, tomato soup, and lentil soup. There is also an extremely good homemade hummus, a Jerusalem shakshuka, labane (strained yogurt) with eggplant, a variety of salads, and a French crepe as a sumptuous dessert. You can also find an impressive alcohol menu with draught beer, arak, whiskey, vodka, ciders, mulled wine and cava.</p>
