Taizu

Top choice in Tel Aviv


Indian, Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese and Cambodian flavours shine through the elements at this upscale 'AsiaTerranean' fusion restaurant, and a dinner here is one of Tel Aviv's finest. Start with selections from the 'water' or 'wood' sections of the menu – the Shanghai veal cheek soup dumplings are especially good – and finish with octopus korma from 'earth' or fried sea bass from 'metal'.

The restaurant transforms for its weekly Indian night each Sunday. The subcontinent's rich flavour profiles are illuminated in classic dishes with impeccable presentation, served by staff in traditional garb while faint Bollywood tunes sustain the atmosphere with a vibrant rhythm.

Lunch is served on weekends and the price of a main includes a first course.
