Reviews Summary
Ramesses offers a delightful culinary experience in Jaffa with many diners praising the thoughtful and flavorful Middle Eastern cuisine, particularly dishes like the short ribs and stone oven zucchini. The atmosphere is frequently highlighted as beautiful and romantic, making it a great spot for a special evening. However, some guests have noted smaller serving sizes and occasional issues with slow service or less friendly reception.
"Absolutely excellent restaurant. I went in thinking the atmosphere is the selling point of the place, but the food blew me away!
The serving sizes are a bit small, but you could tell that every dish I had was prepared with so much thought and care. The ribs was definitely my favourite, the mix of flavours was excellent. It had a slightly smoky, rich taste. The sauces alongside it enriched it even more.
The zucchini from the stone oven was also a hit. Good tang from the Turkish goat cheese and a lovely charred and smoky taste from the zucchini. I think I would have liked if they did more with the zucchini rather than cook them whole, but it was still delicious.
The only dish I personally didn’t care for much was the cauliflower. It seemed under cooked and just lazily placed on top of a curry sauce.
The starter tomato salad we had was also delicious; excellently seasoned and not too acidic.
This was the best meal I had in Tel Aviv. It felt like a light meal yet I was satiated.
My one criticism: the host wasn’t very friendly. Made us feel distant and unwelcome when we told her we didn’t have a reservation. The server was excellent though, we had the Argentinian guy."

The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel truly welcome. The space itself is beautiful and romantic—perfect for a special evening. Highly recommended!"

"Such a lovely place, hidden from a street noise, with jazz music (payed when we were there, but who knows what's coming ;P) and decent cocktails.
We didn't eat much, since we were full, but i couldn't resist their grilled octopus salad > this was a delicious as I imagined from reading the menu."
