The Ali Karavan restaurant serves the Best Humus in Jaffa, and has been serving it for almost 40 years now.
Located in Jaffa, the restaurant was opened by the father of the family, Abu-Hassan, in 1966. Since then it has been known throughout Tel Aviv and Israel for its fresh and creamy humus. You might have to wait quite a while until you manage to get a seat, especially on weekends, but it is worth it. Sitting beside strangers and eating humus with pita-bread and fresh onion. There is nothing quite like it.
The menu is very limited, only humus, Masbacha and pita-bread, topped off with cooked chickpeas or fava beans, and served with fresh onion and lemon juice. Oh, and if you were wondering – There are no napkins.
The ambience is vibrant and friendly, but you will be expected to be on your way once you have finished eating so others can take your place.
Make sure you arrive for an early lunch (or breakfast), because once the humus is finished the place closes down!
Open: Sun-Fri 7:45-14:45 (or until the humus is finished)
Address:
1 Dolphin St. (on the hill),
14 Shivtai Israel St. (the second branch)
18 Shivtai Israel St (a third branch which is open all day)
Tel: (03) 682-0387, (03) 682-8355
