Angelica's younger sister.

Angelica has been a Jerusalem culinary institution for sixteen years. Zahara is the next chapter — a new restaurant on the ground floor of Nucha Hotel (Nucha by Fattal Colors) on Ben Sira Street, steps from Independence Garden and Zion Square.

Chef Roi Achdut, a longtime Angelica veteran, offers a generous Mediterranean kitchen here, anchored by classical French technique with Asian influences. The kitchen is kosher, seasonal, and built on fresh local sourcing — fish, meat, and vegetables that change with the market.

Instead of the conventional starter–main–dessert order, Zahara plays on a sharing is caring concept. A joyful table, dishes moving between guests, dynamic rhythm — and at the heart of the room, an open kitchen visible to every diner, connecting the food to the people making it.
