If any of you had any expectations, Giro Sushi, the relatively new sushi at the bustling and sometimes unbearable intersection of Rothschild and Allenby in Tel Aviv, is not an Israeli branch run by the famous Japanese chef Giro Ono, who is responsible for the best sushi in the world in Tokyo.

The person who is responsible for the new place, which used to be the "mini branch" of the Japanica chain, is a group of nightlife partners, who are responsible for nearby businesses in the area. The location, as you read in the title, is attractive because it is an area full of people around the clock - families in the morning, working at noon and spending the evening, but on the other hand, the area is also full of competitors, yakimono for those looking for more expensive, sushi for those looking for cheaper, Another that is expected to open right on the other side of the road in the coming weeks.

However, the Giro seems to be confident in themselves, and rightly so. Although the place offers a relatively limited menu, it is actually nice for a change because sometimes it is easy to get lost in sushi menus. The quality of the raw materials, the decent price, and the biggest advantage is that the place actually meets, despite limitations like a small kitchen, every possible need of a diner.

You can sit at the bar and enjoy a meal for those who like the air of the Allenby buses, you can order delivery at "Walt" or "Give a Bite" and the most fun, in our opinion, is just to pick up the meal and sit on the grass or one of the well-kept Rothschild benches.

As for the flavors, we left them to the end and not because they are not good, quite the opposite, because they are exactly what we expected and wanted to get from a place like this. We ate sushi ball sashimi mix on bean noodles (or poke in the vernacular), rainbow roll, crispy salmon and spicy tuna. What we got was uniformity - simple and delicious dishes, no attempt to be clever, no nonsense, a good meal just right.

Cheeky and vegan

"Heroes' Meeting" combines two strong trends: vegetarian / vegan food and upgraded home cooking, or as Chef Omar Tal, who is behind the business, calls it: "Mom's food with a chef's touch."

Take for example the Greek salad of the Heroes' Meeting as an example. It is enough to read the name of the dish to feel the symptom of fatigue of the palate. Every workers restaurant and small and large cafe will offer you sliced ​​tomatoes and cucumbers with some cheese and olives on top. In this case, the thyme and roasted walnuts are the ones that take the banal dish and add a chef’s touch to it. The quality sheep feta also keeps the hero salad from the Greek with the overly salty Bulgarian that is usually served with the common dish, and despite its tiring name, it is an upgraded salad.

Another satisfying and appetizing example is the "almost sabih" sandwich, which in addition to potato slices and oven-baked eggplant, also contains ambala grind, chopped hot pepper, sun-dried tomato spread, arugula, tomato and sprouts. True, it's still a total sandwich, but when you eat it Enjoy every bite, highly recommended for spicy lovers.

The highlight of the menu, which apart from salads and gourmet sandwiches (but really gourmet) also contains healthy desserts and mixes of freshly squeezed (we ordered apple juice, cucumber and ginger - a winning combination), is without a doubt the dishes, which are served with alternating toppings like " Couscous Clouds "and white quinoa. On the menu you will find an Asian lentil dal with chili, ginger and caramelized root vegetables, lima maya cherry and pickled lemon, and chard and eggplant beans with fresh oregano leaves. No matter what you order, you will not be disappointed.

In conclusion, the menu of "Heroes' Meeting" is homey but cheeky, taking common dishes and giving them an original and interesting twist. Highly recommended for vegetarians and vegans, who instead of settling for boring food are invited to enjoy a celebration of flavors.

Moses Introduces: New Middle East

The Mozes hamburger chain has recently launched a new dish called "Mediterranean". In fact, this is the well-known classic dish that we are all familiar with with a new twist in the plot. With the dish we received "operating instructions" in the form of a video that at first made us raise an eyebrow, but later turned out to be completely legitimate.

The delivery came in the familiar way with the much-needed separation between the bun and the meat and vegetable patty, alongside a finely chopped salad with purple onion and parsley, seasoned with olive oil and lemon. On the side waited for the end of assembly lemon aioli sauce.

According to the instructions we mentioned above, we spread the aioli on the bottom bun and put the salad together with the usual meat and vegetables. From the first defeat we understood that this is a winning combination. The addition of the spicy red peppers was also the part we always miss in the classic dish - the spice.

There is no doubt that this is a winning dish for us, from the wonderful bun of the chain to the fine aioli sauce. Worth a bite

The dish is available at branches, in the Moses app or by calling * 9449
