Parash

When Yerushalmim hear the name Parash they probably think of Parash catering or Parash cakes that can be purchased in different parts of the city.

Here's a flash - Parash also runs a proper dairy restaurant (mehadrin) in Kiryat Haovel. Recently renovated, the restaurant has the atmosphere of a European cafe. The decor whispers Vienna or Budapest. Luscious cakes in a glass display case greet the eye, and there is comfortable and intimate seating throughout.The location is pastoral, with a spacious grassy area off the street and far from the traffic. It is a nice atmosphere for family dining or for couples. The indoor area seats about 25 guests where the tables are nicely spaced.

The menu starts with great breakfast options. Then there are toastim, salads, quiches, pasta, ravioli, spaghetti and fish. The family embraces their Tunisian culinary traditions with dishes such as stuffed grape leaves, spicy shakshouka, and more.

All the dishes are prepared fresh when you make your order. This takes another few minutes but at Parash you won't be served unevenly reheated foods. At Parash, for example, the quiches are not made and frozen like at so many other restaurants. The elements are ready to go, and when you make the order they put them together and bake. This takes a bit longer but the foods are fresher and always delicious.

Parash cakes are well known. These are prepared both for the restaurant and for their extensive catering operation.

NOTE: Parash specializes in gluten-free breads and cakes. They have an extensive variety of products for celiac.

Service is the Parash calling card: that means service in the restaurant and service to the community. They train their staff to be considerate toward elderly clients – many elderly people live in the area – and they do community service.
