Reviews Summary

Ouzeria garners praise for its delicious and beautifully presented Mediterranean cuisine, with many highlighting unique dishes and a vibrant atmosphere. However, some diners have noted that portion sizes can be small for the price, and a few have experienced disappointing service and ambiance.

"Wow. Great food. Really beautiful cooking. I liked the eggplant as a stater, the bread was on point. I feel that the spicy source plate I took should have been served as a part of the deal though. I would go there again! So should you. My wife said it was a pleasant evening (!)"

Rotem Sivan

"Ouzeria is a fantastic spot for a memorable meal. The food was absolutely delicious, earning a full five stars — every dish was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. The service was also very good; the staff was attentive and friendly, although there were moments when we had to wait a little longer than expected. The atmosphere was vibrant and pleasant, making it a great place to relax and enjoy the evening. Overall, a wonderful experience and definitely a place I would recommend to others!"

Misha Smiley

"We were really disappointed with our experience last night. The host at the entrance (the one with long hair) was rude and unwelcoming. We waited 45 minutes for a table, and when we politely asked him for an estimate, he responded in an unpleasant way.
Once we were finally seated, the waiter treated us with impatience, brought us two dirty plates that he didn’t bother replacing, and placed the food on the table in a careless, disrespectful way.
This wasn’t our first time at the restaurant, but it will definitely be our last. The food was completely underwhelming, and the service left a terrible impression."

In Israel, a Woman's Place Is in the Restaurant Kitchen

​“Kitchens can be very sexist places,” said Avivit Priel, 51, who owns the rollicking Greek-inspired Ouzeria in Tel Aviv’s trendy Florentin neighborhood. “I hear about women getting into uncomfortable situations in the kitchen all the time.” Before opening Ouzeria in 2011, Priel studied at Israel’s prestigious Tadmor culinary institute and owned two other establishments, then took time off to raise her now teenaged children. “Lots of bad language, or inappropriate comments towards women—women have experienced it all in the kitchen.

She and her servers bring Mediterranean mezze like grilled sardines, roasted root vegetables with labne, crudo and ethereal half moons of beet ravioli that were among the best things I ate in Israel—and they splash shots of ouzo and vodka into tiny glasses and lead the dance party in between all the delectability.
