Excellent all around. They fit us in on a busy World Cup Saturday night. We had Shakshuka, cabbage entree, and the lamb meatballs. All were tasty and well presented. It reminded me of restaurants in Tel Aviv. Our server Brian added immensely to our experience. read more

corn hummus ($16) - this was actually so yummy it was smooth and delectable - Ive never had any bad hummus at a restaurant though; the only bad hummus ive had would be the grocery store bought ones - i especially liked the corn addition which made the dish sweet lamb kofte sandwich ($16) - very average and nothing special nor memorable about this - I feel like they didn't deliver with this because it just felt very plain with pita stuffed with big chunks of lamb meat rating: 4/5 - we agreed this place is just average; every dish was pretty good but not amazing nor memorable - the only thing that stood out was the corn hummus - service was quick and attentive - beautiful upscale interior but still a welcoming friendly environment for all individuals IG: @nom.noms.only read more

Dizengoff - IG: @nom.noms.only | corn hummus & lamb - Middle Eastern Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I love the vibe in here. it's fun, warm, casual, really great food and efficient service going on. Hummus Tehina: amazing. can be shared between four people, but my family of four does two orders and everyone gets a half. if you really like hummus, I suggest you do the same. the green sauce situation in the middle is great. comes with 3 pitas, if you want more it's $3 extra per pita. Merion Park Labneh: this labneh is thicker than other restaurants which I really like actually. the photo I insert may be deceiving, as it looks chunky. rest assured, it's absolutely smooth, just a thicker consistency than most labnehs. the spices on it are so so good. I think this is a must get along with a hummus. me and my sister are vegetarian, we share a hummus and a labneh and are decently full after those. we also snack on some small plates for the table (fries and olives) and leave full. Israeli Pickles and Olives: comes with two ramekins filled with varying sized pickles, not pitted olives, and some tiny yellow peppers I *think* are either pepper-chinos or at the very least taste similar. they also come with a small ramekin for the olive pits. The yellow peppers are very spicy, but I loved them. the olives are green, and i'd consider them friendly olives for those who are particular around olives. pickles were great as expected. French Fries: easy order for the table. portion is large and I think $8 is a steal for the quantity and quality. comes with a yummy ketchup my sister loves (she is considered a ketchup hater). COCONUT MALABI: I did not know what to expect. and honestly, first bite I was a bit confused by the texture, but by the end, I really liked it. its a thick pudding consistency, smooth, has a decent bounce to it, not too sweet at all, subtle coconut flavor. has a strawberry (I think) jam situation on top with some sort of crunchy thing. will be getting that again for sure. we had three people split this and it was enough. would consider getting two for four people though. service was quick, efficient, and kind. love the atmosphere. it has a sort of lively fun vibe to it. also we were in and out pretty quick without being rushed at all which is nice. just efficient. Also, I haven't tried them yet but they have a good little mocktail menu for those who don't drink! read more

I loved Dizengoff when it was a quick-service hummus restaurant, and I love it just as much post-refresh. If you haven't been since the renovation, be prepared for an entirely new, full-service restaurant space complete with a revamped menu, including entree plates, hummus, sandwiches, and desserts. The standout of the restaurant is still the hummus with jammy egg, but dishes like the sabich are very tasty (if not a little salty) in their own right. The atmosphere is fun and trendy while still being casual, and the cocktails are a fun pairing with the food. Overall, 4.5/5. read more

Sabich... oh delicious sabich, where have you been in my life. This sandwich took me back to the hole-in-the-wall spot in Tel Aviv. The flavor profile was incredible... a combination of the delicious eggplant, perfectly cooked hard boiled egg, sumac flavor and a small touch of heat. Definitely come here if you want to try this Iraqi Jewish sandwich. We also had the Israeli breakfast... omelette with zatar cooked to perfection and the zhug and labne were delicious. Don't wait... come to Dizengoff today! read more

Do yourself a favor and order the Turkish Hummus. I will be thinking about that hummus forever. The place itself is very modern with a bright atmosphere. Service was quick and attentive. We finished up in less than an hour (not usually my favorite way to dine, but that's okay) The steak dish was meh & a bit chewy, so points off for that. I think if I were to do it again, Dizengoff is a place to enjoy the hummus & drinks. Save the meal for somewhere else. But the Turkish Hummus was so excellent, I still give it 4 stars. read more

The wife & I stopped in for the first time for HH which runs 2 pm to 6 pm. We just had lunch & wanted to try their interesting cocktails. Mike was the initial bartender & he's fantastic! So knowledgeable & passionate- he really cares about your experience. Emily (I'm guessing manager?? Definitely running thangs) was SUPER nice & gracious & Kate, our final bartender (shift change) was equally amazing. We had fantastic cocktails, & get the Turkish hummus- delish. Never had hot hummus before, I'm in love. Everyone was generous- we got comped stuff, I mean...I felt like they WANTED us there & they WANTED us to be HAPPY. & apparently, they LIKE their jobs! This is so lacking in customer service these days, I'm tired of spending my money in a place that treats me as if they couldn't care less about my experience. Bottom line: Dizengoff- take my money! Can't wait to go back!! read more

Dizengoff - "Gin" & "Whiskey" Cocktails - Middle Eastern Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Usually a busy spot during dinner time, was able to stop in during their happy hour. Happy hour has some good $10 hummus and $10 cocktails which is good to try out some new things. Menu is not that extensive so check it out before stopping in to see if there is anything you are interested in. The atmosphere is a bit industrial and rushed. Had the Greek salad with chicken schnitzel added. Pretty good greens with lots of added feta, and the dressing matched nicely. The chicken schnitzel had a good crisp fry on it. Also had an arak midori cocktail which had a good flavor. Overall pretty nice, thanks. read more

We met an old friend here this past weekend on a whirlwind trip to Philadelphia. It was a very pleasant meal, with a couple hiccups in the experience. The restaurant was quite busy when we arrived. The rather joyless host took us to our table, but a minute later a much more cheerful server greeted us and introduced us to the menu. As luck would have it, our reservation during their weekend brunch service, so we ordered items off that menu. We started with their traditional hummus tehina. It was good but not memorable, though the pita bread was soft and fluffy. For our individual meals we ordered: Israeli breakfast - a za'atar omelet with salad, olives, and pita. Served with labneh and a spicy schug sauce, this was quite good Malawach egg-in-the-hole - flatbread topped with two fried eggs, schug, resek, and Bulgarian feta - maybe a little too much feta. This was also very good, but very salty with all that cheese on top. The eggs were kind of lost in the mix. The schug worked really well with the dish, but I had to use it sparingly because it was rather spicy. Shakshuka - traditional eggs in a tomato stew. I did not sample this, but it was well-liked by the person who ordered it. The only major issue with our meal is that while the Israeli breakfast and the Malawach came out fairly quickly, there was a very, very long interval between the arrival of those and the shakshuka. It was at least 15 minutes, probably even longer. Our server did apologize, but still it made for an asymmetric dining experience. Prices were quite reasonable; a similar meal back home probably would be at least 20% more expensive. The atmosphere was lively but not so loud as to make it hard to have a conversation. It was an enjoyable meal, service issue notwithstanding. read more

I always enjoy the food at Dizengoff. However, although the remodeling that they did a couple years ago is beautiful and it now now has a bright, colorful atmosphere and bar, I kind of miss the old, tiny and unpolished charm of the prior restaurant (same location). The service is friendly and fairly prompt, but as the restaurant popularity has grown, it has become busier and you may have to wait. Additionally, I believe the prices have increased a bunch since this remodeling and rebranding of the same restaurant. It's another Michael Solomonov success, and I congratulate him and his team. Although I miss the old place, I will still return because it is good food. I especially like the chicken schnitzel and have had it as a platter and on the kale salad; I often have leftovers for lunch the next day. Also, the hummus is always creamy and delicious. The Turkish hummus that is served warm is good, but I'm not a big fan of strong garlic and it was a little strong garlic for me... I know I am often in the minority and garlic lovers will rejoice with it. The pitas are always fresh and warm. Enjoy! read more

I was craving pita and hummus and this place just hits the spot. I was a bit disappointed that they don't have a hummus platter for me to try out different flavors. The two that I ordered are really good. They are both very smooth and creamy. One has beef and pine nuts that add more flavors. The other one is served hot and it has a really unique taste that I like. Though it can feel a bit too much if you eat a lot. I wish the garlic flavor is spread across more evenly. I'm not a big fan of the shakshuka since I don't like the pepper taste. The place xan get pretty crowded during peak hours so reserve if you can. read more

FAST REVIEW: Food: 9/10 Atmosphere: 8/10 Service: 2/10 :( Tips: Get a reservation in advance. Limited st parking. Manager was professional and handled our concern well (see below) The food at Dizengoff was outstanding--some of the best I've had in Philly. The baba ghanoush was rich and flavorful, the lamb platter was fantastic, and the chicken was so good I didn't even stop to take a picture. The pita could've been a bit softer, but was still well-baked overall. However, I'm giving three stars due to the service. Our waitress started off attentive but disappeared for over *30* minutes after serving the food. We weren't checked on, offered dessert, or given the bill until we flagged another staff member. It seemed like our table was forgotten, despite the restaurant not being busy. The manager did handle the situation professionally and apologized which we appreciated. We of course gave a nice tip to the waitress given that she did provide good service in the beginning, but the wait and inconsistency of her service was not acceptable. NOTE: I don't believe in nitpicking or complaining unnecessarily--I've worked in the service industry myself and deeply respect the challenges of the job. That said, I also believe that when you're paying for a full dining experience, especially at a place that includes gratuity, it's fair to expect at least a baseline level of service. This review is not meant to shame, but to share an honest experience with respect and fairness. read more

Dizengoff - Middle Eastern Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I hadn't been to Dizengoff in a while, and everything is different! If you've been to Dizengoff before, you might remember it as a small hummusiya (casual cafe serving hummus other fast dishes). But in the summer of 2023, it closed. For the next few months, the space and the space next door (RIP Abe Fisher; I miss that restaurant) were renovated. In January 2024, the new Dizengoff opened. Now, it's a beautiful, full-service restaurant. The menu is now quintupled in size, with great drink menu to match. But the quality hasn't changed. Our group of four enjoyed the Tafrit experience, which is a family-style experience for the table. You start with a hummus sample, and then each person - all people at the table have to participate - can choose a salad or mezze and a entree for $53/per person. It was probably too much food (we got too full and weren't able to finish our entrees or even think about dessert, even though I would have loved some Malabi), but I'm really glad we were able to try so much of the menu. We started with our hummus platter: Hummus Tehina (their classic hummus), Hummus Yerushalmi (hummus with beef, baharat spice, pine nuts, and parsley), and Turkish Hummus (hummus baked with brown butter, crispy garlic, and urfa pepper). Served with plenty of pita (that was fluffy and soft and beautiful but not hot), all three were great. We all had different favorites. For our salad/mezze choices, we tried the Shish Barak (smoked code, fava beans, and red chermoula); English Pea Falafel (with herbed labneh, kishk, and cucumber); Za'atar Seared Tuna (Castelvetrano olives, kale, and zhug); and Moroccan Cigars (beef, mushroom, Izak spice, hot honey, and raw tehina). Of these, I thought three was excellent. The Shish Barak didn't work for any of us (strange flavor that I couldn't identify at all without refreshing my memory by taking a look at the menu again), but the other three?! A table favorite (although it wasn't my favorite of the mezze) was the Moroccan Cigars, which was sweet and savory and crispy and flaky. The falafel was a bright, fresh, delicious bite. I could have eaten all five myself. The Za'atar Seared Tuna was also bright and flavorful, and unique. I loved every bite. For the entrees, we tried the Chicken Schnitzel (with leek babaganoush), Za'atar Roast Chicken (with crispy garlic and an arugula and sumac onion salad), roasted cauliflower (with passionfruit amba, poblano, zhug, and pepitas); and the slow-roasted lamb neck (date molasses, fennel, and pistachio dukkah). All four were really good. The lamb neck is a little rich and sweet for my taste, but the other three really blew me away. The schnitzel was so thin and yet so moist - a delicious schnitzel. The cauliflower read a little more steamed than roasted (wish it had a more of a char/roast/crust; it was a little soft), but the flavor was great (I didn't get passionfruit from the amba but I did love the way it tasted). And the roast chicken was delicious: a half chicken, both the leg and breast were great. And the skin?! I loved the very bright salad it was served with, too. Overall, the food was very good! So were the drinks. Between the four of us, we tried two wines and three or four cocktails. I really loved my sumac onion Gibson - delicious. I wish they had a few more Middle Eastern wines by the glass, since I wanted or stick with wines from the region, but they have a great wine list, too. The service was good, and the decor and ambiance were great. The restaurant is casual but cool - and a great place for a fun, delicious dinner with friends, family, a date, or by yourself! I'm sad Abe Fisher is gone, but so happy that its closing allowed a great business to have a bigger, better, expanded restaurant! Dizengoff is great - a real treat. read more

The service was phenomenal. Our server, Lindsay had a wonderful personality and suggested amazing dishes. This place is clean, well lit, and has great seating. The food: That butter hummus was the BOMB! The Ceasar salad was so tasty and fresh and the egg added a nice touch. Them French fries were the best I've ever had. So thick and crunchy and the harissa sauce to dip in was such a tasty combo. The chicken was sooooo juicy and delicious and paired well with the green sauce and rice.

Turkish Hummus $17 (Brown Butter, Crispy Garlic, Urfa Peppers, Served Hot) - it's very hot when it comes out so be careful! Extremely smooth mash potatoes texture. Crispy garlic was a nice touch. Comes with one piece of pita. Would be nice if there was a least two since there were three of us. But we just dipped our fries in the rest of it. French Fries with Tehina Ketchup $8 - very crispy Za'atar Chicken $29 (Sumac Onions, Green Tehina) comes with chopped salad and rice pilaf - Good portion size for a more than normal full meal or good to share. Nice charness on the outside. Juicy chicken. Charred Eggplant $24 (Cherry Agrodolce, Dukkah) comes with chopped salad and rice pilaf - the sweet sauce on the eggplant was nice. Very mushy. The little bites of things on top gave it a nice crunch to break up the mushy eggplant texture. Goes well with the rice that it came with read more

Came to Dizengoff for the second time and loved it! Came here for brunch both times. The first time I came here, we ordered from the brunch menu. I ordered the Israeli breakfast which included a Za'atar Omelette, Chopped Salad and Pita. My friend got the Shakshuka which was absolutely delicious! We also got the hummus sampler platter which comes with the original hummus, Turkish hummus and you can pick one more type of hummus from the menu. The original hummus (Hummus Tehina) was delicious and smooth. The Turkish hummus was unique-was a warm hummus & yummy. The second time I ordered from the lunch menu- ordered the lamb kofta platter and fries which were 10/10! Definitely enjoyed the regular menu more than the brunch menu honestly.

I'm one of the people who miss the old Dizengoff. I really enjoyed the daily change of the menu, which made coming often for lunch interesting and exciting. The quality of food is still the same -- which is very high -- but the menu feels a little stale. Also, giving people a single pita with takeout orders is a crime. I just paid $25 for chickpeas, mushrooms, tomatoes, and cucumbers. The least you can do is throw me enough flour and water to eat it with. read more

Out of the 7 of us I may have been the only one slightly disappointed. The restaurant being associated with Zahav held high expectations for me - not that anything was really wrong but the food, for me, didn't reach Zahav's level We went with the Family-style menu which gave you a wide assortment of choices that you might want to share and which, price-wise, was worth the cost. With this menu the table gets a Hummus Sampler - which means 3 different selections. For 7 people it was on the skimpy side with one at our table asking if it came with a refill - the answer was no. I won't go into all that was ordered but from my selections I found the Moroccan Cigar good but nothing all that unique other than its shape. The Za'atar Roast Chicken was half a chicken in a delicious sauce with crispy garlic and arugula but was on the dry side. Those who had the Falafel-spiced Dorade as well the Slow-roasted Lamb Neck said they thoroughly enjoyed their entrees. The service was spot on, the place lively and pretty much packed the entire time we were there. A good place to check out. read more

This meal almost brought me to tears. Bold flavors, thoughtful and attentive waitstaff. Bold and vibey interior. Kitchen is a well-oiled machine. We came for lunch on a Monday. It was busy, but we were sat immediately. Cocktails were amazing. Roasted pepper hummus was the best I've ever had in my life. They have these marinated onions that will make you jiz in your pants, they are that good. Husb ordered the lamb Kafka plate and I ordered the skirt steak. Both Devine. Skirt steak was tender and flavorful. We also got the pickles and olives mix. Those pickles are perfection and I'd buy them by the jar, if I could. I cannot wait to take my friends, take my kids, and take myself back to Dizengoff. read more

Another review for Dizengoff now that I've visited the new upgraded location! I went for dinner with a few colleagues. We easily made reservations for a weeknight and were seated right in front, so we had great views of the whole restaurant. My initial Diz experience was their casual spot that was mostly take out so this was a HUGE glow up but without compromising any of the flavor. The ambience was just right, fitting the overall vibes and with welcoming decor. Our server was absolutely fantastic, sharing so much advice on the menu and their honest takes on various items. We started off with a sampling of the various hummus plates, which were all excellent. The seasonal hummus was so divine, but nothing beats their classic - the creaminess is unparalleled and the flavors just don't disappoint. The pita is what dreams are made of - so fluffy and soft and the perfect vehicle for scooping up the goodies. I'm not going to lie, I ate a lot of hummus so I was barely hungry for my real meal! At the server's rec, I opted for the eggplant which was a great selection. The eggplant itself was massive, perfectly charred and with creamy interior. The spices and toppings were so good, really adding crunch and extra flavor to the overall smoky and creamy eggplant. The rice and salad sides accompanying were nice, fresh touches too! I didn't enjoy any cocktails or other bevvies, so I can't speak to that. The price point for the amount of food you get is so reasonable, and I took home basically a whole other meal. I would highly recommend a trip to the "new" Dizengoff - I can't wait to make it back! read more

I came here for a birthday for the first time ever and didn't know what to expect. I quickly looked at the reviews and was pretty excited due to everyone raving about it. I got the chicken platter and we got a complimentary frozen lemonana. Chicken platter (4/5): Was a little lackluster but it was still tasty and perfectly crispy Frozen lemonana (3/5): Superrr lemony and sour! I'm not super into lemony drinks but we got them handed to us so I had to at least try it. The hummus is where this place really stands out. We got the turkish and yerushalmi hummus and both were to die for. Super creamy and flavorful. Overall really liked the relaxed ambiance and enjoyed the food. read more

Not sure why it took me so long to figure out Dizengoff offers a brunch, but sure glad I finally discovered it! Their brunch menu offers many of the Israeli staples, some reimagined brunch plates, and of course, a variety of hummus! We started off with some cocktails --- I ordered the tequila (pineapple, aperol, lime) and my friend ordered the vodka (rose, pomegranate, lime), and both were delicious. They offer the classic Lemonana, a favorite from other Solomonov restaurants, but only in frozen form. I asked if they could do it on the rocks for my second round and wound up with a regular vodka lemonade, so I don't recommend this option. In terms of food, you absolutely HAVE to get at least one hummus. We landed on the Hummus Kishu, which featured a tomato sauce and roasted zucchini. The texture of their hummus is divine, and their pillowy pitas make a perfect pairing. They also offered us cucumbers to dip as well, which were a refreshing add. I chose the Sabich for my main, which I typically love. This version was good, but not great, in part because I feel like it was not well layered. The haminado egg was kind of plopped on top and it was challenging to get a bite that incorporated all of the flavors. However, we decided to end with their Chocolate Pita French Toast, which was one of the most unique and most delicious takes on French Toast I have ever had. They layer their pitas with chocolate, deep fry it, and add cinnamon sugar, creating a symphony of textures and flavors. If you're on the fence about ordering this, just do it... definitely my favorite bite of the morning. read more
