Aziza
Day 1: 5-Course Nouveau Israeli Tasting Series
Opened in 2019, this Israeli eatery from restauranteur Tal Baum (of Falafel Nation, Rina, and Atrium) was named to Eater’s 2022 List of “Favorite Atlanta Restaurants” and Southern Living’s 2023 List of “25 Best Atlanta Restaurants.” Israel's cuisine has become increasingly recognized as one of the world’s best, representing a crossroads of flavors from three distinct traditions associated with the Diaspora: the cuisine of Middle Eastern Jews with roots in Southwest Asia and North Africa; the cuisine of Sephardic Jews from Iberia; and the cuisine of Ashkenazi Jews from Central and Eastern Europe. Drawing on all of these influences, Executive Chef Brenda Ogando offers brilliant dishes like halloumi with harissa honey, cauliflower tagine with muhammara and saffron rice, lamb shanks with lentils, dates, and pomegranate, and trout with tamarind and fenugreek. Make sure to leave room for desserts like Turkish coffee tiramisu and pistachio baklava. “Aziza means happiness in Arabic,” says Atlanta Journal-Constitution, clearly delighted with their visit, as we are sure to be too. See you there!
