7 Arye Shenkar Street, Herzliya Pituach, Herzliya

A pan-Asian noodle bar with long shared tables in Herzliya Pituach's high-tech zone, the branch where the Zozobra chain began in 1999

Zozobra calls itself a pan-Asian kitchen, established in 1999, that brings together centuries-old cooking from across Asia, India and the Far East. This branch is at 7 Arye Shenkar Street, in the high-tech and industrial zone of Herzliya Pituach, beside the Gav-Yam car park. mako wrote in 2018 that the Asian noodle bar first opened here, on Shenkar Street, in 1999, and the company Zozobra Ltd, incorporated in December 1998, is registered at this address. It is one of three Zozobra restaurants, with branches in Kfar Saba and Tel Aviv, and the chain's website lists branches coming at Ayalon Mall in Ramat Gan and at Hutzot HaMifratz. Diners sit at long shared tables beside people they may not know, as Rest's magazine described in January 2026; mako described the long tables in 2018 as made for large groups, with lounge music. The menu runs from small plates to share, salads, steamed buns and Vietnamese spring rolls to wok-fried noodles, pho and ramen, rice dishes and curries, most of the larger dishes in two sizes, solo and classic, with sushi rolls and poke bowls, dishes marked vegan or vegetarian, kids' meals and separate gluten-free, reduced-sugar and garlic-free menus. It is not kosher and is open every day, until 22:00 from Sunday to Wednesday and until 22:30 from Thursday to Saturday, and it delivers and sells takeaway until 22:00 through its own ordering page and Wolt. Its website takes table bookings for the Kfar Saba branch only. Guests get the first two hours free in the adjacent Gav-Yam car park, on level -1, with a sticker from the waiter. In September 2026 Debbest reported that the chain is changing its concept to self-service with ordering kiosks, that new branches called Zozobra Street will open over the next two years, starting at Ayalon Mall and then two in Haifa, and that the menu will feature more sushi and poke bowls; the chain's own pages, read on 1 October 2026, do not mention kiosks. Rest's magazine put it on its January 2026 list of Herzliya's luxury restaurants, writing that it is not a classic luxury restaurant but is so loved in Herzliya, and its food so carefully made, that it earned its place, and that the queues around it at lunch and in the evening are the best recommendation there is.

Sources disagree on these hours

Its website gives the hours of the Herzliya branch as Sunday to Wednesday 12:00 to 22:00 and Thursday to Saturday 12:00 to 22:30, with delivery and takeaway until 22:00. Its Google listing, as Wanderlog copies it, has the same hours. Its own ordering page takes delivery and takeaway orders from 11:30 to 22:00 from Sunday to Thursday and from 12:00 to 22:00 on Friday and Saturday, and its Wolt page from 11:30 to 21:45 from Sunday to Thursday and from 12:00 to 21:45 on Friday and Saturday. OpenStreetMap, checked on 31 May 2026, has 12:00 to 24:00 every day, and its d.co.il listing gives 07:30 to 19:30 from Sunday to Thursday and 09:00 to 13:00 on Friday.
