Why Travelers Love Dobrumba
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Was looking for falafel but ended up trying the fried cod shawarma instead. I’ve never had any kind of shawarma before, so I can’t compare, but I really enjoyed it — especially with the hummus and fresh pita on the side. A pleasant surprise was discovering buckwheat tea — I had no idea you could make tea from it, but it was really good. Nice atmosphere and friendly service. Excellent, I mean absolutely EXCELLENT food. I would highly recommend this spot for Meditteranean/Israeli food. We walked in here without a reservation so there was a bit of a wait to get a seat, but the servers were extremely nice and efficient in not only making sure we were served a drink while waiting but also getting us a table. The food itself was amazing, there was not one dish that I would not recommend. The menu was fun and interesting and so well priced. The wines were also extremely good and a strong recommendation as they were mostly natural wines with interesting origins! Dobrumba is a welcoming and friendly place. We were greeted with smiles and though there asn't a free table we didn't wait much (for lunch). The same goes for ordering and serving - it was fast with no hassles. We shared several dishes and all of them were warm and freshly cooked. If you are into Middle Eastern food, you'll like it here. Personally I love the flavors. My favorite was the chicken shawarma but I'd also order again the piri-piri chicken, the pomegranate chicken liver and the patatas bravas with aioli. All had rich flavors. If you like homemade lemonade, do try theirs.

The atmosphere is really cool and alternative, and all the food we ordered was delicious. We’d like to compliment the guy with bangs, who was super friendly and fun with us! We liked it so much that we came back again.

We visited last night and had such a great experience. We ordered the mutabal, chicken shawarma, polenta and the fatoush salad, and everything was honestly delicious. They first brought us labneh instead of mutabal by mistake, but they let us keep it on the house, which was really kind of them. The staff were super friendly and the whole place has a great vibe. It was super packed, so make sure to have a reservation. We will definitely be back! ✨
