Ahuzaleh Cafe/Restaurant takes the space of Cup O Joe restaurant in the inner courtyard off Bar Ilan St. This is a new restaurant in the heart of Ra'anana serving good dairy foods and excellent coffee.

Ahuzaleh is located in the small shopping center at the corner of Bar Ilan and Ahuza Street, across from the Kupat Cholim Maccabi building. The restaurant does not face Ahuza Street. Thus the restaurant has a quiet and intimate ambiance even though it is in the heart of the city.

The best place to park at this busy corner, is in the underground parking lot. Enter the lot from west side of Bar Ilan Street and take the elevator up to street level. Ahuzaleh will pick up the first hour if you ask for a parking slip.

Dining:
Ahuzaleh offers very comfortable indoor and outdoor seating. The indoor area has tables of different sizes, inviting chairs and banquets. The restaurant is bright and pleasant and it is a welcome place to dine. At Ahuzaleh you can enjoy a range of foods from just a drink to a full dairy meal. The restaurant does a very nice job with the usual selection of dairy fare. Platters are generous, meals are very nicely presented, the food is tasty and the service is good.

A friend and I enjoyed a lovely mid-day lunch at Ahuzaleh. The restaurant was busy but not packed and we found a very comfortable table for two in a good location inside the restaurant. The air conditioning was purring at just the right temperature, the decibels were bearable, and we were quite comfortable.

We were impressed by the creative menu. The restaurant offers imaginative salads, pasta dishes, fish and chips, quiches and many other items. The menu is quite tempting and before we ordered our fist dish we were already talking about our next visit to the restaurant.

Sitting at the restaurant was so pleasant that we decided to dally over a cup of coffee and dessert.
"What's for dessert?" we asked, and the waitress recited a list that could have been a separate menu. We decided to share one piece of cheesecake which turned out to be super creamy and delicious, and great with the cafe hafuch.

A full write up will appear in this space. Stay tuned.
