Most kosher restaurants here are certified by Kosher Shevet Ahim, the kashrut department of the city’s largest Sephardi community, and about half of the restaurants are in Paitilla, within walking distance of the hotels there. Many close by mid-afternoon on Friday and reopen on Saturday night, so plan Friday lunch early.
The certifier marks meat and dairy, and whether a place is chalav Yisrael or pas Yisrael. Where it doesn’t say, we leave the field blank rather than guess. Certification can change, so check the certificate on the wall when you arrive.
From their published hours, these open on Saturday night after Shabbat:
Opening times move with the season; check before you go.
