A historic eatery on Agrippas Street opened in 1970, legendary as the birthplace of the Jerusalem mixed grill, perfect for late-night dining.
Located at 121 Agrippas Street, between Mahane Yehuda Market and Nachlaot, this restaurant was founded in 1970 by the Ajami brothers. The signature Jerusalem mixed grill (me'orav Yerushalmi) features chicken hearts, chicken livers, and minced lamb sautéed on a flat-top grill with onions, garlic, and spices, served either in a pita or on a plate. While the restaurant's claim to have invented the dish is legendary, it remains a local favorite. Open from midday until late at night, it also reopens after Shabbat, making it ideal for late-night dining. Kosher certified. Expect to spend around USD 15–20 for street-side dining and USD 25–45 for sit-down service.
Opening hours
Sun–Thu 11:00 until the last customer leaves; Fri 11:00 until 1 hour before Shabbat; Sat from after Shabbat until late night
