A recommendation from a reader led reviewer Galit Or to "HaBakata" (The Cabin), a kosher meat restaurant in Ramot, Golan Heights. Or, who typically avoids lamb, was particularly impressed by the lamb spare ribs, finding them so delicious she "cleaned the bone to the end."
Or visited the restaurant, described as a cozy, all-wood cabin with a romantic atmosphere, seeking quiet and good meat. She noted the restaurant opens at 1 p.m., allowing ample time for meat preparation. The establishment features Argentinian meats, some smoked overnight, served with local "Bazelet" beer.
While Or's companion ordered a salad and fish, Or focused on the meat dishes. She praised the roasted eggplant with preserved lemon, balsamic, and tahini, and the juicy, flavorful beef fillet carpaccio. The smoked meat platter included satisfactory smoked entrecôte, well-prepared pulled asado, and chorizo.
The standout dish for Or was the lamb spare ribs, which she enjoyed despite her aversion to lamb. She attributed this success to the meat likely being from a young lamb, prepared with care by owner Gadi Azulay. Or concluded that Azulay has created a welcoming place where even those who dislike lamb can find enjoyment, emphasizing that the restaurant focuses on quality preparation rather than excessive flair.
The restaurant is located in Ramot, Golan Heights, and is certified kosher by the Rabbinate of the Golan Heights, with meat adhering to the Beit Yosef method.
