Aaris must be well loved by the locals in Jerusalem. I brought Aaris back to my hostel. And the Israeli teacher from the hummus workshop saw Aaris, and said with so much love, “Aaris ❤️”.
That’s the moment I found out Aaris was special. And Aaris is not a person, Aaris is a new store that sells creative Middle Eastern pocket size burger.
Location
It’s near Mehane Yehuda Market. Across Morduch.
The storefront of Aaris. There are some outdoor seats. I guess it’d be quite lovely to sit here and do some people watching 😉 This is a prime location of Jerusalem, by the way!
The kitchen and counter have taken most of the space in the shop. But there are still 3 seats inside. I like the open space design, and it does remind me of Taiwan. We like to eat outdoors too. (Not on noisy streets though)
Menu and Dishes
There’s no menu! Haha! So from what I remember, there are only 3 options. Beef, lamb, and Entrecote.
The price is around 35-42NIS. And you’ll receive a beeper.
After 10-15 minutes wait… voila! I came back and received a beautiful paper bag! Aaris! Inside, there was a box.
I opened it, guess what? 3 pieces of mini Middle-Eastern tacos! I don’t know what to call them. And you get 3 sauces too. The green one is made from Avocado (with mayonnaise?)
I was deeply amused by the odd number, 3. So who is eating the 4th piece?
Regarding the taste… well, let’s just say, I don’t like beef in Israel. It’s too strong for me. (And I don’t eat lamb…. )
But I’m sure the locals love it, otherwise, why would Aaris be popular? I don’t blame Aaris. And you can see Aaris is generous with the quantity of meat! Isn’t that great?
About the price. Well, if this is 35NIS, it is definitely more expensive than eating shawarma in pita bread (normally 25NIS).
I did find the avocado sauce here special though, and I like the outdoor seating too.
So do I recommend this? Hmm. Well, if you like beef, then come here to eat! It is not that expensive 😉
Remember to Give Thanks!
The Jewish tradition is to pray before and after meals. There’s a fixed prayer to read. And guess what…? I found it here! hehehe!
So take the hint, be grateful! God has been taking good care of you! Don’t complain!
About Beteavone
I found this shop through Beteavone (the coupon website).
I spent 65NIS for buying this 100NIS coupon, but I only ordered 2 servings. Eventually, I received 20% off instead of 35%. But even without any discount, Aaris isn’t expensive, to begin with.
Final Verdict
A cute little shop that sells Middle-Eastern like tacos. I like the avocado sauce. Not expensive, and maybe I’ll come back to try again.
