Tel Aviv’s New Malach Mayim Grill Restaurant Impresses with Fresh Skewers and Sea Views
A new upscale grill restaurant named Malach Mayim has opened on Tel Aviv’s promenade, replacing the former Greco restaurant. The spacious venue features an open kitchen and offers diners a scenic sea view, especially striking at sunset. Guests can enjoy their meals either inside the air-conditioned dining area or outside on the promenade without stepping on sand.
Malach Mayim specializes in grilled fish, skewers, and a variety of fresh dishes ideal for post-beach dining. The menu starts with a generous selection of six fresh salads served with airy pita bread for 58 shekels, including carrot, herb, Iraqi yellow pickles, eggplant, and cauliflower with tahini. The quality and seasoning impressed reviewers, who appreciated the option for free refills.
Appetizers include a generous red tuna tartare with toast (82 shekels), finely chopped liver (48 shekels), surprisingly good hummus (36 shekels), and crispy green falafel (38 shekels). The main courses feature a range of skewers such as chicken (88 shekels), tender lamb kebabs (96 shekels), chicken liver skewers (78 shekels), and vegetarian portobello mushrooms (72 shekels), all served with pickled onions, hot peppers, tahini, and chimichurri.
The fish section offers sea bream or bass prepared in various ways, including grilled fillets or whole fish roasted over charcoal (142 shekels). Other highlights include excellent fish and chips (98 shekels) and a rich sea bass skillet with tomatoes, onions, peppers, garlic, capers, thyme, and herb butter (118 shekels). Children can enjoy a large schnitzel (88 shekels), while the menu also includes shawarma, burgers, and ribeye steak by weight.
The meal concludes with a highly recommended pistachio cake, praised for its rich flavor and almond flour texture. The overall dining experience, combining quality food, a prime location, and a relaxed atmosphere, led the reviewers to plan a family birthday celebration at Malach Mayim. The restaurant operates daily from noon to 11 pm, including weekends, and can be reached at 03-5168691.
