"We were at KabKam. The taste wasn’t very balanced for me, but I saw other people’s comments, so I believe it depends on who is eating it. Aside from that, the service was very good – the staff were nice. We sat outside and we liked it. I’m giving it five stars because, in the end, the place is awesome."

"I eat spicy food, but it was just too much. You couldn't taste any other flavors, just hot.
It will also be helpful if the waitress will give a heads up since usually in Israel the levels of spiciness are adjusted to the Israeli palate."
Sigal Shayevitz
"Thai restaurant with Tel Aviv’s nightlife vibes. This restaurant is a MUST place to visit. It offers fine dishes with Thai flavors (and spicy). The cocktails are amazing specially the one with the Gin and sake.
The place is well designed and the service is kind. Don’t forget to take sticky rice to enjoy the sauce of each dish. The dish with the lettuce and the fish is WOW. Also the dessert with banana-lotti."
