Dr. Shakshuka
Tel Aviv, Israel
The read// why locals go
Dr. Shakshuka cooks the North African Jewish food that Libya's community carried into Israel, from a corner of old Jaffa in southern Tel Aviv. The recipes have travelled through generations rather than through trends: shakshuka in its proper form, couscous on Fridays, fried fish handled simply and well. It is a restaurant with one specific heritage behind it, and that heritage is the whole appeal — the cooking of a single community, served in the neighbourhood where it settled. Portions are generous and the bill sits around ₪65, which for old Jaffa is fair. Come hungry, and let Friday dictate the order if you can.
