Kiko, New Meat Restaurant in Armon Hanatziv near Arnona



Kiko Meat Restaurant, 
15 Daniel Yanovsky St, Armon Hanatziv, Jerusalem, 
Tel: 0778836883 Kashrut: Rabbanut Yerushalayim Mehadrin


Last week my friend and I decided to eat out, and she had recently read Eluna email and noticed a write-up about a new meat restaurant not far from where where we were. Yes, Kiko is the restaurant. It's right next to the Armon Hanatziv Promenade (the Tayelet), a major tourist destination in Jerusalem.

As we walked over, we decided that if it didn't look acceptable, then we'd go someplace else.

Lucky for all, Kiko seemed clean and comfortable, plus the prices were reasonable.

We went over the menu, Hebrew only, though the guy working here insisted that he could explain it in English if needed. 
 
There's a nice variety and choice of foods and presentations, sandwiches in different breads, platters and salads. 

We both ordered salads with meat. Mine was the kabob salad. After ordering, our meat portions were put up to cook. 

We were very pleasantly surprised to discover that we could have our bowl filled with whichever salad ingredients and dressings we wanted, like at a salad bar. All we had to do was to indicate to the young man working there what we wanted.

Once the salad bowls were full, we waited for our meat to finish cooking, and then we were called to get our dinners. We brought them to the table and ate. Both meals were perfect. We weren't offered any pittot or bread, which was fine with us.  Yes, we look forward to returning.

Thank you for this useful review. It would be even more helpful if the title specified the restaurant's actual location: it is right next to the Armon Hanatziv Promenade (the Tayelet), a major tourist destination in Jerusalem.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try editing it in.
