Nazareth, Israel: Tishreen; restaurant review

hummus at Tishreen restaurant in Nazareth, Israel

Tishreen 

 56 Spring St., 04-6084666.

Owned by two Arab men,  serene Tishreen serves Palestinian cuisine. A large stone oven left by previous Italian tenants is used to prepare oven-cooked Arab dishes. One of our guides’ favorites restaurants, he just gives the owners a budget and says, “Spoil me.” Delicious dishes we sampled include stuffed mushrooms, eggplant and cauliflower salads, a brilliant lemony-mint tabbuli that was wonderfully heavy on the parsley, and a spectacular hummus. From the oven, we enjoyed flat kofta meat patties, the house’s signature coffee chicken (recipe here), and Arab pizza (chicken and caramelized onions on flat bread).



More things to do in Galilee area of Israel.

More ideas for exploring the Middle East.
