"Mifgashim" is located near the Kiryat Krinizzi and Tel-Hashomer / Tel-Litvinsky neighborhoods of Ramat Gan. It is very close to the Sheba Medical Center.

This is a very good Middle Eastern restaurant, with a nice variety of first courses (stuffed zucchini and peppers, mushrooms, matias herring fillet and potato-filled-"cigars", among others), traditional Middle Eastern salads (tabuli, Turkish, various kinds of eggplant salads, humus and tehina, among others).
For main courses "Mifgashim" offers various fish dishes (sea bream, trout, tilapia, salmon or sea bass) and meat dishes (grilled and roasted). My veal was very good.
Service is professional and efficient.

The Godfather: Almost an English Pub..
Sharon profile photo
Sharon 767 reviews

This Bistro / Pub was originally meant to be sort of an English pub, there are somethings which reminds of but i think its less intimate then the typical English Pubs.
The place is relatively new and quite nice, Located in another area which tourist doesnt really get to. Close to the "border" of Tel Aviv and Ramat Gan in the High Tech area of Ramat Gan.

Diamond Center - when night falls

In the evening and during the night in the Diamond Center in Ramat Gan (or the BURSA as people here call this location) there are a lot of peep shows , street hookers so be careful if you decide for some weird reason to walk there (Although no one will kill you and there is a police activity there).
Be careful - that's all.
