In recent times, Israeli food has become a bit of a hipster craze and many places serving up hummus, falafel and shakshuka are run by bearded youngsters who get to work on long boards and may not always be directly affiliated with the Jewish faith. Chagal Club, however, has been around for a little longer than most other eateries offering Israeli and Jewish food. The menu (clearly created in Word and bound together in a simple booklet of A4 sheets of paper) is intended for the older Russian Jewish intelligentsia, as opposed to the flannel-clad, techno-loving hipsters. Of course, here you can get the usual suspects such as an Israeli meze (hummus, falafel, tahini and co.), gefillte fisch and forshmak. But there are also quite a few Russian and European dishes to cater to all tastes. There are several dining halls which ensure quite an intimate atmosphere even during the busier evening times and a downstairs concert hall where all kinds of live music events and comedy shows take place every weekend (think Klezmasters orchestra, blues, flamenco and much more.). At first glance, you’d think that interior elements are not at the forefront here but upon closer look, you’ll notice all the vintage photos and paintings, antique books and record players, menorahs and other quirky trinkets.
