New Pita Shop in Bnei Brak Draws Parallels to Tel Aviv's Famous "Jasmino"

A new pita shop named "Yasmin" has opened in Bnei Brak, drawing immediate comparisons to the well-known "Jasmino" establishment on Tel Aviv's Allenby Street. The owner of Yasmin, Yaron, previously worked at Jasmino for seven years, having been involved since its opening. After a stint elsewhere, he returned to the area and opened Yasmin two months ago, naming it after his daughter.

Yasmin offers a similar concept to Jasmino, focusing on high-quality pita sandwiches with a personal touch. The menu includes options like chicken, spicy lamb heart, and, upon special request, beef brain. The beef brain pita, priced at 53 shekels, is described as flavorful, tender, and juicy, though it is noted as a niche item. Other pitas, such as the chicken and spicy lamb heart, cost 44 shekels and are filled with protein, salad, roasted vegetables, and chosen spreads.

The reviewer highlighted the meticulous preparation of the kebab pita, emphasizing the layering of ingredients, the use of high-quality tahini and amba sauce, and the overall excellent taste. The reviewer suggested that Yasmin feels like an unofficial extension of Jasmino, offering a delicious and accessible meat-based meal, especially for those working in the vicinity. The article also recommends asking about off-menu specials, as Yaron enjoys surprising customers.

Yasmin is located at 9 Mesada Street in Bnei Brak and operates Sunday through Thursday from 10:30 AM to 5:00 PM. The establishment is kosher.
