Our Origin
From a Cart to a Kitchen
In the summer of 2022, chef Avi Mizrachi pushed a single falafel cart onto Rothschild Blvd with one goal: to serve the most honest, flavour-packed Israeli street food in the city.
Avi had spent eight years cooking in Tel Aviv's fine-dining scene — first at a Michelin-recommended seafood restaurant in Jaffa, then as sous-chef at a celebrated Neve Tzedek tasting-menu kitchen. But he kept coming back to the food he grew up eating: falafel wrapped in warm pita, shakshuka scooped straight from the pan, sabich assembled with care by a market vendor who knew every customer by name.
That original cart sold out its first 80 portions in under two hours. Within six months, TelAviv Bites had a permanent kitchen on Rothschild and a loyal customer base stretching across the entire city.
