What started out as a simple enterprise providing Indian food to local businesses has grown, by popular demand, into a successful restaurant in a busy shopping area in the town.

When I saw that Prohibition Pickle delivers to Netanya, it seemed predestined that I was meant to sample the food.

There are all kinds of meat and chicken dishes, salmon and other fish, every possible kind of bread and challah, side dishes, desserts – the possibilities are endless.

The long-established dairy restaurant Nina Bianca, which we have visited in the past, is featuring new items on its long-standing menu.

Tenne in Ra’anana is a great place for breakfast (and lunch and dinner), and it also has a huge takeaway section.

The burgers are made from prime Israeli beef, ground on site and served on lightly toasted buns with a top-secret sauce.

This is not so much a restaurant as a show put on by the chefs, who present their offerings in a flamboyant and theatrical way, which induces a very special sense of camaraderie among the patrons.

At the Sunset Kitchen restaurant, dinner patrons are invited to be in their seats by 7:20 p.m. so they can enjoy the beautiful sunset, which gives the place its name.

I have visited Bet Melchett, the restaurant, several times in the last few years and always found it to be a lovely place for breakfast and lunch.

It has been a few years since we ventured into Tel Aviv to sample the food at Nini Hachi, one of the veteran Japanese eateries, which has been around for about 12 years.
