Customer Perception
Customer feedback is mixed but generally leans positive for the food quality and creativity, especially for main courses and brunch. Service can be excellent, with some reviewers praising attentive staff. However, recent reviews highlight significant inconsistencies in service, with some experiences described as arrogant or dismissive. There are also mentions of misleading menu descriptions, inconsistent food quality (e.g., disappointing desserts, chewy steak, overly buttery mashed potatoes), and high prices that some feel are not always justified by the overall experience.

It was excellent.
The best was white corn, which was delicious, creamy and crunchy. Least of them all was crab shish barak (dough was thick and undercooked, flavors were not great) which we pretty much left untouched, the waiter asked and we said it wasn't to our liking, but it remained on the check. Other than that the food was really good.
What a great surprise!
The restaurant is located inside the Mendeli Hotel. For a fixed price, you get access to the hotel’s full breakfast buffet, and one main course from the 'à la carte' menu per person.
There was a great variety of both savory and sweet options. We especially loved the leek salad—it was absolutely delicious!
Everything was incredibly fresh and beautifully presented. I highly recommend this place for a gathering with friends or family, and it’s also a perfect spot for a date.
The quality of the food, the atmosphere, and the overall experience exceeded our expectations. We will definitely be back!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Mashya
Nestled in the elegant Mendeli Street Hotel, Mashya offers a sleek and serene space with minimalist design and soft greenery. The modern Levantine cuisine is outstanding — refined heritage flavors, fresh coastal seafood, and beautifully balanced dishes.
Service is warm and flawless. A truly memorable dining experience. ✨🍽️
Genuinely one of the very best meals of my life. One of those meals you come away from not thinking "I'll try that" but with no comprehension of how they did that with that. The mixture of seafood and meat and generally things that should not all be on one plate was genius. But, despite all of the contrasts there remained a consistent theme throughout the food and focus on ingredients. At no point could you be confused about what you were eating, only how they'd managed it. Perfectly matched by excellent service from our waiter, Elad who clearly genuinely cared about the food and our enjoyment of it. Excellent value for money. I can't recommend this highly enough.
-Some of the most interesting and tasty food I've gad so far. Not always done perfectly though
-Service is impeccable. We were constantly given attention. We were also given bread refills and some small servings to taste
-Rather pricey. Can be mitigated by eating there at noon the "business" dishes
Update: Having been a guest at the hotel above the restaurant I can add they serve the best breakfast in Tel Aviv. Exquisite!
