Mashya Restaurant

Mashya Restaurant, signature cuisine at the Mendeli Street Hotel in Tel Aviv

Mashya Restaurant is a dining establishment operating inside the Mendeli Street Hotel, in Tel Aviv. Its cuisine stands out for its use of mace, a local spice that gives the restaurant its name, and for an approach that combines high-quality ingredients with advanced culinary techniques. The space, carefully designed, uses natural materials of local origin and ceramic and metal tableware designed specifically for the venue.

Kitchen team

Mashya's kitchen has featured chefs with outstanding careers. Bar Tzanger, a native of Kfar Saba and a resident of Jaffa, trained at Alain Ducasse's culinary school and interned at L'Arpège, a three-Michelin-star restaurant, under the direction of Alain Passard. His approach is based on letting the ingredient speak for itself and on using every part of it without waste. Before joining Mashya, he led the kitchen at the restaurant Giardino, in Jaffa, and in 2026 he won the eighth season of the show 'Game of Chefs'.

Gil Dahan, 32, has also served as chef at Mashya. His culinary philosophy is based on deep respect for ingredients and on using them fully to minimize waste. Dahan developed part of his career in kitchens such as Kitchen Market and Weiss & Cena, and his style combines ingredients from different origins with a personal interpretation of local flavors. One cited example of his approach is the squid dish 'Chorizo', made from his grandmother's 'Hamusta' broth.

Events, customers club and other services

The restaurant has a service for events and celebrations, as well as a customers club. It also offers gift cards and publishes a digital magazine with content such as 'Mashya's story', 'A Day with a Beekeeper', 'Abu Ali' and 'A Day with the Fisherman'.
