We absolutely love coming to Tapas! The food is always amazing, the service is outstanding, and the restaurant is beautiful. Would love for the music to be kept lower to enable conversation more easily. That would make the whole Tapas experience perfect!

Everything was amazing. The short rib pappardelle special was a touch salty, and if you’re expecting a traditional knafe, then the marshmallow knafe is not at all that. Overall, I’d highly recommend the Jerusalem bagel and the various dips. The toro was also yummy!

Great ambience, delicious food! love the cocktails as well! but way TOO LOUD! DJ music was great, but should go down a few notches because you cannot have a conversation across the table without yelling at each other. I was surprised to see tables of what look like teenagers, so it does attract a much much younger crowd. This was the case on a Saturday night.

Loved everything about this place. It’s nice to have an upscale restaurant in the valley. The food was spectacular, ambiance was inviting, decor was tasteful. The waiters are attentive and fast. We ordered the Jerusalem bagel, skordalia, zaaluk, okra and oyster mushroom. All were delicious, but my favorite - hands down - was the mushroom. It was seasoned to perfection and slightly charred. We finished off with the Moroccan hafla, which is a whiskey “tea” served with honey, lemon, and mint. It was surprisingly good. Definitely will be coming back here.

The service was impeccable and unrushed. We started with cocktails - Moroccan Hafla, TLV Mule, and a non-alcoholic Ginger Mint Lemonade. Nicely done and presented - the arak-based mule was unique and refreshing, the hafla in a Turkish tea set. The wine list is limited, but the Medoc went very nicely with the apps and mains. The Jerusalem bagel, zaaluk, and roasted oyster mushroom were delicious - really nice sized portions. The ribeye skewer was prepared exactly as requested, medium rare, and was tasty and tender. We would have preferred one more piece of meat on the skewer (truthfully, anyone would!), but the accompanying potato was a miss - dry, crusty, not much flavor. Musakhan was very interesting - pulled chicken with almonds and spices, served on a thick slice of challah - also delicious. The salat hashuk was larger than expected, very fresh, but overdressed - we'd suggest less dressing on the salad or serve it on the side. The desserts we ordered, marshmallow knafe and nights in Beirut, were marvelous - rich without being too decadent. We highly, highly recommend this restaurant.

For some of the best Israeli food in this neighborhood you have to try this Glatt Kosher gem. Innovative cocktails, a good wine list and incredible spices make for a wonderful experience here. Do not pass on the Jerusalem Bagel. Crunchy on the outside and doughy on the inside. Use it for dipping in the sauces and hummus. We started out with a few tapas as appetizers and really enjoyed the grilled kohlrabi which I’ve never had cooked before. Whatever protein you order is going to be cooked and spiced perfectly.

It was wonderful but a little pricey. I expected higher prices seeing that it is kosher, however if the name of the restaurant is "tapas" I didn't expect to see more or less a steak house menu. I had not looked ahead of time at the menu because no matter where I go, I can always find lots of things that I love. But, looking forward to "TAPAS" which is what the NAME of the restaurant is, big disappointment. And, no children's menu, and we had 2 kids with us. That all being said, EVERYTHING was beyond delicious and more so.

The food, service, and ambience are all great!! It's quite expensive, but we very much appreciate having a Kosher fine dining option in the valley. The only issue is that the music is way to loud and takes away from the experience, and makes it difficult to converse. Luckily they accommodated us by lowering the volume. Overall we love TLV Tapas!

Great atmosphere for a kosher restaurant, especially one in the valley, which is something we dont have! I must say, the food is outrageously priced for the portions you get. I cant believe they have been getting away with the prices this long. $90 for a 16oz ribeye, we ordered it expecting it to be huge and delicious. Let me just say, it was harshly underwhelming. $30 for skewers which came out to be tiny as well. Oh, and not to mention $17 for uninteresting salads. Im just shocked as Ive been to all the other Tel Aviv restaurants where you HUGE portions for a very decent price. In my opinion, they are taking advantage of having a nice atmosphere. In my opinion, this is a place you go when you are not very hungry and just want a drink. Although, you probably wouldn't catch me there again.
