Chakra

This sleek upper moderate-priced restaurant for those in the know, offers some of the most inventive and sophisticated meals in Israel at any price--- joyous interpretations of seasonings and cooking techniques that chef-owner Ilan Garousi has picked up from all over the world. To his standard menu, Ilan adds a tour de force of 12 nightly main-course specials and all kinds of dynamite appetizers, depending on what's fresh and available in the market. Come with friends so you can sample and share. You might find a Bokaharian soup made with chickpeas, lamb-meat dumplings, and sweet-and-sour dried berries; or shrimps on grilled figs; or lighter-than-air coriander fish kabobs. Or you might find tempura shrimp or chicken stuffed with rice and minced lamb spiced with cumin. Spicy, delicious European and central Asian meat stews abound. Tapas-style tasting menus can be arranged. Desserts are also inventive; the ambiance is informal but elegant.
