Is this your business?Claim it freeAlma's soup bar on King George Street in central Jerusalem, serving kubbeh soups and soups of the day from a family business that began in Nahalat Shiva.
Alma began, by its own account, in 2008, when a Jerusalem family opened a meat restaurant in an old stone building in Nahalat Shiva; its soups became so well known that the family opened a small soup bar beside it, and more branches followed. The branches serve soups made fresh every day: kubbeh soups with beetroot, hamusta, okra or hamo and a vegan kubbeh, and pea, sweet potato, vegetable, lentil and bean soups. This branch is in the city centre at 19 King George Street. It opens from 10:00 to 23:00 on Sunday to Wednesday and until midnight on Thursday, closes on Friday two hours before Shabbat, and opens again on Saturday night until midnight. It is one of the chain's seven branches: five in Jerusalem, one in Tel Aviv and one in Haifa.
