With natural wooden interiors and dried floral accents, Kedem is all about warm service and relaxed dining. The menu of this Levantine-inspired restaurant on Hermannstrasse is thoughtfully curated: by day, guests can savor creamy hummus, vibrant salads and dishes like the Sabich plate – a colorful combination of crispy aubergine, potatoes, hard-boiled egg and bright pestos. The dinner menu, meanwhile, offers dishes like siniya lamb baked in tahini sauce and a chef’s tasting menu paired with wine. Must-try favorites include Masabacha, a rich hummus variation topped with house-made Tbile paste (a blend of garlic, chili and lemon). Desserts like “Malabi” (panna cotta with berry sauce, peanuts and roasted coconut flakes) are homemade and much of the ingredients locally sourced; founders Nir Ivniezki (of Rixdorf eatery Aviv 030) and chef Navot Schelach opened Kedem with a view to making it sustainable. Whether you go for a casual lunch or an elevated dinner experience, your food is sure to be flavorful and colorful.
