The great thing about Sarona Market is that you have the choice of so many tasty places under one roof. Even if you cannot all agree on what you want to eat, each person can get what they want and sit on the shared tables in the middle.
If you are just looking for kosher options, check out my guide to kosher Sarona.
Another fun option is to eat each course at a different place like pizza to start, sushi for main course and doughnuts for dessert. Here is my guide to quick bites in Sarona Market.
- Pita Basta (Kosher)
Pita Basta has a number of interesting items but I normally order the Heavy Pita (NIS 34 – not a mistake in translation!) which was grilled chicken liver, silan, lemon sauce, tahina and other delicious toppings. They also served a dessert Pita Loti (NIS 10), a crispy grilled pita with nutty chocolate and banana – sounds delicious!
- Pizza Rustico
The pizza at Pizza Rustico has a perfect crispy base and a range of delicious toppings. The pizza is sold by the weight and there is no minimum so it a perfect option for a quick snack or a starter before moving onto main course elsewhere. Interesting toppings include eggplant melanzaneh or zucchini with spicy parsley sauce.
They also expanded their menu to offer lasagna and soup for winter and have some very good lunch meal deals.
- Ze sushi
Ze Sushi has a large rectangular bar in the center of the market, with comfortable seating all around. As well as traditional sushi options, they also have a selection of noodles and soups and sushi platters for takeaway. All sushi is made to order so you know it is fresh.
- Marinado
For an indulgent meat feast, Marinado is a great option. All the meat is from their own farm in the Golan and it is expertly cooked to order. The menu includes burgers, meat sandwiches and steaks. All dishes are cooked to honor the quality of the meat, with simple seasoning and side dishes but the sandwiches are better than the steaks.
- Chicho (Kosher)
Chicho is a Moroccan food bar specializing in meatball sandwiches. The lunch deal is NIS 38 for a medium meatball sandwich or NIS 45 for a large (about 6 meatballs!) and comes with a side salad, olives and a flavored soda. The meatball options include beef, lamb, fish, vegetarian or vegan. The pita bread is amazingly fresh and there is a spelt option.
- Captain Curry by Yonathan Roshfeld (Kosher)
Chef Yonathan Roshfeld left the world of fine dining at Herbert Samuel (apparently not by choice) and is now focusing on Indian food with Captain Curry. Dishes on the menu include chicken tandoori, sweet potato curry, lamb and chicken biryani.
The Sarona Market branch was so successful that he also opened one on Dizengoff a few months later and they also deliver in Tel Aviv. This branch became kosher in June 2019.
- HIRO Ramen Bar
Chef Aharoni is known for his love of Asian food and HIRO Ramen Bar is a perfect homage to that passion. The menu includes various options of chicken, beef or silken tofu ramen, as well as steamed buns, chicken wings, gyoza and various salads.

Moshe Segev also has Segev Concept in the market, which includes a few different stands with street food options. Junam is a Turkish street food stall which serves a variety of turkish pizza style dishes with meat and vegetable options.
Although there are several dessert options in the market, for me Gulis is the tastiest and the most unique. Freshly made dough balls are drizzled with a choice of hot chocolate sauces and various other crunchy and sweet toppings. Perfect for sharing or as an indulgent dessert.
