"Kiyufim" advertises itself as a cafe-restaurant set in nature, with "nice things for the house"; its theme is the combination of a store and a cafe-restaurant.
The "natural environment" is misleading; the property is close to the Yarkon River, but this is by no means a riverside restaurant. There is an outdoor section which is set in a pleasant closed garden, and an indoor section right next to the store.
The menu is varied, with sandwiches, toast, salads, pasta, meat and fish.
My fetuccini were nice, David's lasagna was excellent, Yossi's hamburger was ok, the girls' salads were fine. The service was satisfactory.
If you want to combine your dining experience with a shopping experience for all kinds of house ornaments and special household goods (suitable for presents), this is the right place. You are actually required to pass through the various parts of the store before reaching the restaurant (I wonder why...); when you leave the restaurant you may exit right out to the parking lot.

Fatut is like a puff pastry scrambled with eggs and chease.

Avazi is a well known restaurants chain in Israel.
you can eat here meat and middle eastern food.
We came here to party on a friend's birthday and it was really fun.

An Introduction to the Restaurant
Alfredo is a kosher restaurant with italian food.
When my Uncle and Aunt came from France to visit us they wanted a nice place and this is what they decided.
The place is always full with people - in the morning and noon business people and evening and night - local people most of them religious (like i said it is kosher).
What we ordered
We ordered for the begining a big focacha with wine for them and beer for us.
After that i orderd pasta with alfredo sauce - cream , butter , wine , garlic and parmesan.
my wife orders the same.
my sister ordered lasagne with mushrooms.
my father ordered salmon.
my uncle ordered pizza.
my aunt orders also pasta but i dont remember with what.
After that we ordered caked and cofee.
The Service
The waitres was very nice but it took a lot of time to get the food !
my father waited for the salmon so much we almost finished eating.
BTW - the food came out slowly but the bill came very fast !
The Food
The food was good but the dishes were small.
Favorite Dish: The pasta alfredo was very good (but small)

Couscous is a middle eastern food , many jews from north africa that came to Israel love this food and everyone says that the couscous from their house/country is the best - Tunisia , Marroco and more.
My father if from Tunisia so i think that their couscous is the best.
There are a lot of middle eastern restaurants that you can enjoy a good bowl of couscous but i like the one that i am making myself and if you want here is the recepie :
Favorite Dish: I use 2 cooking pots for the vegetables that i put on the couscous :
1: the soup
cut 1 big onion and fry it with oil until it is brown (not burn).
add cubes of 5 potatoes , 2 carrots , 2 zucchini , Humus , 2 sweet potatoes , small piece of a pumpkin and mix it with oil for 2 minutes.
Cover with water and add garlic , parsley , salt , pepper , cumin , a little bit turmeric and paprika.
cook the soup until the vegetables are ready.
I prefer cooking it until most of the water are evaporated.
2: it is not a must but i liked it : beans.
cut 1 big onion and fry it with oil until it is brown (not burn).
add beans and mix it with the oil , add small tomatoe sauce , cumin , garlic , salt , pepper and coriander.
cover with water and cook until most of the water are evaporated.
For the couscous i use Instant couscous and i put it with olive oil.

Must say I'm not a dining-out type of person, and know more restaurants abroad than in my neighborhood. Also I prefer small elegant place where one can hear the person across the table. Having said that, I'd like to offer a note:
Looking at Israeli restaurant portal I realized there were very few "Russian" places there. So I'll try fill the gap. By Russian place I mean here the middle-size restaurants, that are normally used for family-style celebrations.
They came up as alternative to typical Israeli halls and positively differ from latest in size, atmosphere and food quality.
You can get a table for two as well, but need to call in advance.
Of course they come in a variety of styles and quality, but in general they offer fine and rich menu on a very reasonable price. Must admit I can't remember proper wine list in any of these places though.
There is normally also a band and a singer there and repertoir depends on the taste of the place owner. Also unlike in original "Israeli" places one can dance in there center of the room in between dishes.
These restaurants are mostly located in "industrial areas" of Gush Dan and Haifa district so you probably will need to take a taxi ride to get there.
It's a shame this whole sector is virtually ignored by native food lovers in Israel. From my own experience dishes they serve here are much superior comparing to "Russian" cousine for example in Helsinki, where "Russian" restaurants are said to be the most expencive in the city.
