Is this your business?Claim it freeA kosher meat restaurant on HaBanaim Street in Ashdod, open since 2009 as Gehalim and now named Babbi's, known for dry-aged beef and grill skewers.
The restaurant opened in 2009 as Gehalim Ashdod and has since changed its name to Babbi's, with new touches to the food and the room. Its site says it serves only fresh Israeli beef, dry-aged in its own ageing fridges, and offers each day the cuts that have reached their best. Starters include fried cauliflower and baladi aubergine from the charcoal grill with tahini, followed by skewers of chicken thigh, butcher's cut and entrecote and soft lamb kebab, with chocolate souffle among the desserts. There is a bar, a VIP area, a separate events hall and an outdoor terrace, and a lunch menu runs on weekdays from 11:30 to 17:00.
