Shila doesn’t need yet another good review, so just posting two photos and documenting a fun evening with friends from Stanford and amazing raw fish/tuna dishes.
We had an amazing time. All dishes were exceptional, delicious and beautiful. If you love sea food it's the place for you!
Great restaurant, excellent food. I have to say, come if you don't have a budget. Some of their dishes, especially the specials, are unnecessarily expensive.
Very creative cuisine, trendy, noisy and not cheap
Shila is a must visit if you like fish and seafood, and are visiting Tel Aviv!
You will love this place, because the food is exceptionally good and doesn't taste like the other places around, and because the vibe is great. But you will also hate this place, because it is soooo overpriced and because the service is not up to par with the quality of the food and cost.
I would really recommend the Sea Fish Tartar, which comes wrapped in Avocado, and was the best dish we had.
Without a doubt one of the best restaurants in Tel Aviv which is impressive given the high level of competition. The only drawback is the price which is very expensive even by Tel Aviv standards.
The prices were high, but the food was unbelievable! The open chef bar was amazing, we were mesmerized by how quickly and efficiently they were working (on New Years eve nonetheless). The flavors and display for each portion was just phenomenal. The wait staff was less efficient, however, but if you're sitting on the bar you're sure to have a good experience.
Such a disappointment. I went back after good experience I had a month ago. The dish came out was very very small. Felt like they doing me favor for serving me. Doesn’t worth the price and the wait.
Very nice restaurant. Expensive above average, but it definitely worth it. Highly recommended. Make sure you book it well in advance.
Friendly staff, great location. Delicious food!! I had one of the best fishes I ever tried!
Excellent food. Almost always packed. Nice bar. Not cheap. Really excellent food
We love coming to Shila. Amazing fresh fish and wonderful flavors. The prices are a bit high but we are never disappointed so it's great for a special evening out. If you like fish and seafood, this is one of the best places to come in Tel Aviv.
My dish (fish with vegetables, calamari in crab souse) was very nice, BUT it was so expensive (170 NIS) that during my meal I could not stop feeling bummed about it. Sitting at a bar was way too tight - I was squeezed in between already seated people, and I barely had enough place for myself. My waitress was very efficient, but I could not get hold of her to order a desert and get a check. I've eaten in Shila several times over the years, and liked their food very much, but price hike and convener belt-liker atmosphere and service approach is a major turn off for. I'm off to check out newer restaurants that still care about atmosphere, pleasant service, and not too outrageous check.
Delicious food and good service. Some of thebest we had in Tel Aviv.
Very good food, great presentation, upbeat atmosphere, rude service not reflective of the quality of the kitchen - passable for Israel but not more than that
Food and service.. oystera were great
In one word : Unreal!! So much attention to details, so many different interesting dishes, we enjoyed like nowhere else. 5 Stars
Haven't even tried the food yet, but just saw the bartender sneeze into his hand and then continue making drinks without washing it. Handling grapes, olives, lemons, bare handed. Disgusting. Scared to imagine what the kitchen is like.
Good food, overpriced, parking service will charge you 40nis. Great for business meetings or special occasions.
Service was great, food was great, and it is all about the ambience :)
Take it from a local - simply one of the best restaurants in Tel Aviv - exciting and fresh food, amazing cocktails and a vibrant ambiance. The only negative is the price tag. But hey, YOLO
High end restaurant. Very good places to eat fish and sea food. The desert is also very good and also other stuff is nice. But the seafood is great!
Shila is constantly rated as one of the top restaurans in town. However, it mostly suites people from a certain age (35-45) and social background (bohemian). Most locals don't dine there. If you want a sure option to take someone out of town this is a good (and expensive) option. We have been there several times to celebrate special occasions.
The food is good (but extremely overpriced), inside sitting space is very crowded on busy nights, service is good but not great (there is NO great service in Israel), atmosphere and vibe are good.
