As a first dish we took the sweetbreads and the sinta carpaccio, the carpaccio was good (but I always like it, hard to mess it up). For our main courses we took the New York Sinta and the Entrecote - the sinta was much better. Also had 2 wines - and came to 471 nis, way overpriced for the place since the it was very crowded, the service was poor and very slow.

I was sitting outside, even though it was a bit chili in february, but the atmosphere was great.
Food was really delicious, portion was pretty big. Because the dishes sounded so good wanted to order many dishes, but the waiter warned me it might be to much.
Definitely going back there if i am in haifa again

Wonderful food and very friendly staff. The felafel pocket with Regina is one of the best. The homemade olives are delicious too.

We were here' all 15 of our family on the last Friday of December. The street was packed, and the restaurant was over packed.
None of this mattered as the food (set menu) started to pour towards our table. Plate after plate of salads, staffed pastries, meats and more, all so fresh and delicious. The staff managed to give great service, despite the number of diners. and even the price at the end was reasonable.
I recommend Douzan to anyone for a really good meal at the heart of the German colony.
We will definitely return here.

My company held a retirement party for me at this restaurant. We were about 25 people. This is an upper scale restaurant with excellent food and a big selection of wines. The service was very good. Nearby there is a very parking area.

Looking for very close to genuine Romanian folk cuisine? then this is it in Israel. Basic and simple, but honest, done to well-nigh perfection, high-quality ingredients (mainly meats) and very big portions.
The place is very crowded, however, even stuffy, and the Seating is not very comfortably, to say nothing of the atmosphere, which is a mix of a worker's diner with makeshift extensions. Also, the place is open only a few hours around lunch, and they do not reserve tables (since they are always crowded).
Service is very fast and effective, though.

An authentic druze cuisine. ahlan wasahlan
Reviewed By Mike S - Washington DC, District of Columbia
But we had to settle on one each, and sharing; as we had been pulled in to ordering way more than we could eat before. So I had a spicy/sour Druze cheese soup, made from a special cheese that they take a week to prepare. Fuka'aia Soup. The cheese is fermented which adds the sour taste. The also add bulgur to add a unique texture. I don't particularly like sour, nor anything pickled, but this was delicious with the right blend of spicy and sour. We also ordered the Barak, since we had seen it discussed in many places. Of course it came with the full mezze of half a dozen salads, each with its own new and different taste, some appealing more to my wife, others to me. We were delighted to learn that Barak is very similar to Pelmeni we had had in Russia, but the filling in this case was beef and lamb. And swimming in a thinner version of the same cheese soup. A very good combination of tastes and textures. Finishing off with the Knafe which was only mildly sweet and a cup of the Druze coffee with cardamon. The service was attentive and the atmosphere was local, familial. An excellent choice.
