Why'd you search the thread back to 2012?

I was in Israel for one night, Sunday, and went to Keyara with my great niece. I have to say, it was my best meal in that restaurant in a long time. Starting with their lemonade, which was delicious, I then ordered the special liver appetizer in wine sauce. It was so soft and delicious. Then they gave some kind of sangria drink which was also delicious. For the main, my great niece got the stuffed chicken, which she loved and I got another special - chicken in pasta with sun dried tomatoes and other great stuff. For dessert, plain old sorbet, 3 flavors, excellent. The atmosphere, as usual, was very nice and the staff superb. The bill for all of that, with the tip, came out to about $100 American. I highly recommend the place.

FYI, lots of places have opened up in Cinema City, it's a short bridge away from the Rose Garden and Gan Sacher, and it's a nice place to go to.
