Is the shawarma cooked on a real spit?

Yes. Our chicken shawarma is slow-roasted on a traditional vertical spit and carved fresh to order — the authentic method used in Israeli and Middle Eastern street food. The slow rotation creates maximum juiciness, aroma, and flavor. Served with tahini, hummus, onions, Israeli salad, and white cabbage. Pita $18 or bowl $22.

Sabich is a classic Israeli street food sandwich. At Mazal it is made with fried eggplant, hard-boiled egg, potato, creamy hummus, amba sauce (a tangy mango-based condiment), and tahini. Served in a warm pita ($13) or as a gluten-free bowl ($19). It is vegetarian.

She Cooked
Every Single Day.

"Grandma Mazal never wrote down a single recipe. She'd say - you cook with your hands, not with measurements. We're still doing it that way." - Gal & Tal Alhadef, Founders

Growing up, the kitchen always smelled like cumin, tahini, and whatever Grandma Mazal decided to make that day. She cooked for family, for neighbors, for anyone who showed up hungry - and somehow there was always enough. No shortcuts. No measurements. Just real food, made with her hands and a generous pour of olive oil. When Gal and Tal moved to Charleston and decided to open a restaurant, naming it anything else felt like a betrayal.
