I had the occasion dine here and enjoyed every bite. The pumpkin soup, the tappas and the meat, everything was very tasty. The Sheff Avi Turgeman came to hear that I like the food and enjoyed to hear that it was perfect. The service was great.

JERUSALEM STYLE in the David Citadel Hotel
Scala is located in the David Citadel Hotel, next to the prestigious Mamilla Avenue and the Old City. The leading Italian designer, Piero Lissoni, was responsible for the luxurious hotel atmosphere and the prestigious design, while chef Oren Yerushalmi was responsible for the kitchen and the menu. He collaborated with Executive chef Avi Turgeman to create the dishes served in the restaurant. The welcoming ambiance and fine dining create a warm and inviting feeling that makes the place perfect for a family or couple relaxing at the end of the day. The menu emphasizes Mediterranean style food, including a selection of meats, fish, and salads. Scala is the epitome of Jerusalem culinary experience.
What’s on the menu?
The restaurant’s menu combines two rich worlds: the street food scene that has flourished in Jerusalem in recent years – and a meticulous gourmet style, courtesy of the restaurant chef. On the menu, you will find appetizers such as hot granulated lupine, and chickpeas and eggplant with garlic and lemon. As your appetite develops, you can switch to skewers (turkey, chicken or lamb) accompanied by a selection of grilled vegetables, fresh and tasty fish dishes and a variety of Jerusalem-style main dishes: pine nuts kebab, majdara and shawarma from red meat, lamb, onions and spices. We dare you to try the daily fresh made desserts and not leave wanting more!
Private Events in Scala
At the Scala restaurant, you can organize a host of private events in a spacious and luxurious space for up to 80 guests. Want to celebrate a birthday, anniversary, circumcision, wedding, launch evening, or any other happy event? Scala is the perfect place for your celebration, offering you a private VIP room in addition to the restaurant space, and even a personalized chef menu according to the needs of the event. The friendly restaurant staff will be at your service throughout the evening, which will also include impressive technical specifications.

MoreMy first visit to Scala was for my birthday dinner and it was a delightful evening. We were warmly greeted by Chef Avi and our server Nir. The recommended appetizer was beef stuffed cabbage rolls which were perfectly seasoned in a savory tomato sauce. My veal osso bucco was tasty and tender, complimented by sweet potato hash and delicately grilled vegetables. My husband’s Jerusalem BBQ lamb spareribs were full of flavor, as were the accompanying vegetables in a tantalizing blend of spices. The house salad looked deceptively simple, yet it was surprisingly tasty. We are looking forward to returning again.

“Try somewhere else”
The meal was awful and sadly there was nothing to recommend the place. Our food was unappetising made of old produce which was poorly presented and inedible. Don’t read the menu as what is written has no relationship to what arrives. Try somewhere else as there must be good restaurants with traditional food available...

Don’t read the menu as what is written has no relationship to what arrives. Try somewhere else as there must be good restaurants with traditional food available which is fresh and edible. It is difficult to remember such an awful meal which we could not eat.
