The Passion for Authentic Israeli Food
There are some life experiences that you take with you wherever you may go. For Dorit Paz and Hava Nachum, that was the aroma of freshly baked goods from the markets back home in Israel. The coffee shops and Shabbat cooking that wafted through the streets of Haifa and Herzliya, Israel, where they grew up. The blend of food, culture, taste, and ambience, they look forward to sharing here in Northern Virginia.
Upon moving to the United States more than a decade ago, they brought with them the taste of home through cooking for both family and friends. The atmosphere which they brought to their homes preserved culture and the ambience from Israel. The struggle to provide the same level of healthiness, not just taste, to their recipes led them to discover new recipes (and in our opinion, perfected) through the use of the finest, natural ingredients.
What began as a hobby, turned into a catering service, and evolved into a concept for an Israeli restaurant for the community. Hava and Dorit created an ultra-modern falafel and hummus menu, which they refer to as “art”. The know-how of making falafel and the toppings and then perfectly stuffing them into the right pita make the experience out of this world. The menu, which is based on fresh, all natural and organic ingredients, offers a unique, high-end Israeli falafel experience.
