This is our 4th visit here, and we have revisited after 5 years. The taste of the food is not the same as before, and it was a bit disappointing for the price. It wasn't an atmosphere of welcoming guests. Moreover the staff was a little bit nervous I thought, because we were foreigners. It was not hygienic, with several flies flying around. The good memories of the past are disappearing.

Lot of dishes from menu were missing.
The food itself was a so-so, I wasn't asked about the steak cooking level, I assumed it's gonna be medium (as a normal steak should ) but git a well done , the other meat we've ordered was a but dry , the salads were good .
The service was okay.
Not crowded.
I probably wouldn't come back .

After many years, had an opportunity to visit the place again.
I was alone, took some dishes to bring back old memories and the taste was perfect as expected.
Fortunately, the waiter I know for more than 35 years was in and we had a nice chat as well.

Wow, what outstanding food and service. My wife and we're visiting Israel and our friends took us to this restaurant and the vegetarian selection was the most varied with the best unique flavors we have ever had. The lamb kabobs were amazing. I recommend this restaurant without any hesitation!! Way to go Abu Gosh!!

Great Hummus! very good service,  but all else is ok and lacks a delicate taste and style.  The Chef has a very strong hand when it comes to using spices,  sometimes it's just too much. other than that, the prices are on the  expensive side and rising....

It serves the classic fare that the popular village outside Jerusalem is known for, a variety of tasty meats, fresh Arabic salads, hummus and of course, falafel. Word on the street is that you should stick with the meat and salads.
