After we first told you about the sad closure of Lev HaRaveh, the legendary institution of Kerem HaTeimanim in Tel Aviv, which resulted in thousands of Israelis arriving for its graduation week, there is also good news. That good news comes at a time when longstanding restaurants and culinary institutions in Greater Tel Aviv are closing down one after the other.
One of the restaurant's staff, Sefi Hamdi, who in that article said that closing the restaurant was "the beginning of the end of the Kerem HaTeimanim neighborhood as we knew it," decided to take the reins into his own hands and reopen the restaurant in the neighborhood itself.

"The pressure since that article overwhelmed me, there was a huge demand from the audience to open something and I said I would open a place with the same name and the same tastes. So my heart is big again, although not the whole family is here, but I'm here," said Hamdi, who opens the new restaurant at 18 Malan Street in Kerem HaTeimanim.
