Dish of the Day: Israeli Specialties at Dr. Shakshuka
Craving an all-you-can-eat Israeli feast? In the center of busy Tel-Aviv, alive with markets, shops and eats, you'll find Dr. Shakshuka's packed with tables full of colorful plates of food. Shakshuka is a traditional dish with roots in North African culture, consisting of hot tomato sauce and poached eggs that arrives in a steaming iron pan.
Dr. Shakshuka's will have the food to your table in a zip and will keep it coming. Besides the shakshuka, our long, wooden table was filled with baked beans, couscous, lettuce salad, cucumber salad, cooked carrots with cabbage, and dips for pita served family style. Although you'll think you're full, stick around for dessert of sweetened hot tea and moist cakes with raisins.
Tip: Join a friend and split their lunch for two: shaksuka, salad, a spread of small spicy dishes, bread, lemonade and tea, for just 88 NIS total (about $23). Great price for great food.
