Dr. Shakshuka Review

With its long, shared tables; great food and prices; happy customers; and helpful staff, this is one of the best ethnic restaurants in the country. Shakshuka is a pan-fried casserole of poached eggs and spicy tomato sauce; Dr. Shakshuka's many versions of this dish come from Libya and have been the best in Jaffa for two and a half generations. But there's much more here: Tripoli-style couscous with mafrum (potato stuffed with ground meat, served with stewed beef and vegetable soup); stuffed vegetables; kishke (North African-style intestine stuffed with meat and rice); grilled lamb patties; and fresh grilled or fried fish. Main courses come with a meze of fresh pita and eight Middle Eastern salads. Lemonade is the drink of choice; a la carte, the meze is NIS 15 ($3.75/£1.90).

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
