First time trying Jachnun — completely converted

I had never tried Jachnun before this visit and I wasn't sure what to expect. The bright and fresh with herbs taste hit immediately and made sense of the dish in a way descriptions never quite do. tahini is an ingredient I'd not encountered used quite like this before.

The a Tel Aviv hummusiya setting added something to the experience — this kind of food makes sense in that environment. Israeli cuisine is shaped by Jewish diaspora traditions from across the world fused with local Levantine ingredients. My server recommended arak alongside and it was exactly right. I've been telling everyone to try Jachnun. Outstanding first encounter.
