Israeli food with a twist. Very interesting! As tempting as all of the side appetizers are, know that the portions are generous and the kitchen works fast. So choose one or the other. Not both! Also, if you don't have a reservation during a busy week (like when the Messe is in town) you may or may not get in. We didn't have a reservation and got one of the last seats in the bar area near the hotel. It was fine, but even that area got filled fast. I ordered the "I sometimes dream of grilled chicken". It's boneless chicken thighs on a skewer. Served with fried onions and a nice mayo dipping sauce. The bartender suggested the oven baked potato. They were good, but I now realize totally unnecessary as I could barely finish it! My partner got the BFC Supreme which was fried chicken thighs, fried cauliflower and steamed/sautéed potato. Very good (I liked mine better!!) He also ordered the Marko Polovic drink. If you like whisky + orange soda, this is your drink. Very refreshing. Great vibe and nice staff, considering it was a busy night and this is a pretty trendy place, they were helpful and patient with all of our questions. We'll make reservations next time, for sure. But we may opt to sit at the bar again. Very intimate. read more

Our meal was fantastic. Every dish was superb and the service was delightful. Congratulations.

A Jewish/Israeli place in Germany? Yeah. And the best Israeli food I've ever had. Sorry, Michael Solomonov. The space is hipster cute. The restaurant and bar are part of the 25 Hotel. It's the equivalent of Ace Hotel, for North Americans. And it is so yummmm. The wait staff are fantastic and quickly found our reservation. We started with drinks and the hummus. The Tel Aviv cocktail was a liquid Mike & Ike. Wow! I was going to have a Brooklyn Lager for a laugh but ended up getting TWO Tel Aviv. The pita is the best outside of Israel. So perfect and dense. It went well with the better than average hummus. We had the Shwarma and seafood lavah. Both were amazing! The plates are huge; could have shared. This is my new favorite restaurant. It was one of the next meals I have ever had. Truly, go and let go! You'll be glad you did. Open daily. Highly recommend reservations via Open Table. Takes credit. See website for more details. read more

I met a group of co-workers at Bar Shuka for dinner and it was one of the best Mediterranean meals I've ever had. I friend who is local recommended it and I can clearly see why. The service was really great. Our servers were quick to refill drinks and always very friendly. We all ordered a bunch of different things from the menu and shared the plates. Zohan's Favorite (That's the name) was delicious, my other favorite was the "Sometimes I dream of fried chicken" (maybe because we all do!) If you're in the area looking for a great restaurant - check this place out! My only word of caution is the location. You have to walk through a very dirty street with lots of drug users and prostitutes. But to be honest, they don't bother you - it's a Frankfurt thing. In fact, there are a lot of really great restaurants in that same area - so strange! read more

Great place in an unfortunate location, but that certainly didn't stop anyone from coming. We made reservations for Saturday night and although the walk there stressed us out, once we were inside we really enjoyed the vibe, food, and service. We started with the bread + three dips and the dressed olives; followed by the pregnant eggplant and sabih yourself in one million ways. It was slightly too much food for two people and I wished I could've eaten every last bite because it was delicious. They also were able to make any of their cocktails alcohol free -- the mule was so good! read more

We were so glad we had a chance to experience this! We were in transit overnight and just happened to be staying at the hotel next door. We didn't have a reservation but were told we can have a table for 1.5h. The staff was attentive and took our orders quickly. We had to spend some time studying the menu -- all the items sounded delicious! My friend was new to this type of cuisine but was open to try new things. We wanted room for desserts and so we decided on the beef tartare and the black baba. The tartare was DELICIOUS! Super flavorful and there was some spices mixed in. The meat tasted like they were aged a bit because of the meaty flavor without tasting gamey. The bread on the bottom with the meat provided a perfect mix of textures. We absolutely loved it. It looked small when it came in but it was quite filling in the end with the bread. The babaganosh was delightful as well! The octopus was grilled perfectly with a hint of smokiness and yet they're soft in the mouth. The babaganosh with the tomatoes matched perfectly. We were looking forward to trying the ice cream but was disappointed that they didn't have that available that day. But we ordered the pudding and I really enjoyed it. We appreciated the amount of time it must take to prepare that. The crushed pistachio on the top again made the otherwise typical dessert with extra layers of flavor with the mix of textures. I love the modern decor and this places seems very popular with the locals (very good-looking young locals :)) Judging by the "reservations required" from Google Maps. But I'd say if you're in the area you should just drop by to see if they could seat you. The food was definitely worth it. This was such an unexpected find that it closed out our trip very nicely! Thank you and highly recommended! read more

I was really blown away by the uniqueness of the design in this restaurant. Could be a hipster paradise for sure but come here if you are ready for something truly unique and interesting. This restaurant is connected to the 25Hours Hotel next door. The chefs are apparently from Israel. I came by for breakfast and was so pleased. In addition to a cool atmosphere and vibe, they had extra dishes beyond the standard German breakfast that made this place extra special. Can't even explain what they were but they tasted great! They just opened one week ago! Get in here:) read more

Lecker!! Everything about this place was great! Great service, great drinks and such great food. It was so hard to figure out what to order cause everything sounded amazing. Can't wait to come back. read more

We read lots of good things about the restaurant (I have also been a big fan of Chez Ima) and really wanted to try it. But the place did not meet our expectations. The place itself is nice and stylish and the staff very friendly and helpful. We had a starter and two mains. The starter came at the same time as the main, this happened to several other guests around us as well. The fish was too salty and bony and hard to eat. The cauliflower was over cooked and not tasty. All portions seemed very small. Prices are nevertheless ok. The waiter has been nice and noted our complaints and we didn't have to pay for the cauliflower and even got something on the house. We very much appreciated the gesture, but I would have rather enjoyed the meal I ordered. read more
