About

Ha'Agas 1 serves fresh Mediterranean dishes with a focus on housemade hummus and tofu shakshuka — some of the best in Jerusalem's Mahane Yehuda market. The venue is small and casual, with outdoor seating and a quiet upstairs area offering respite from the market bustle. Cash is preferred for payment, and the atmosphere is informal with occasional remarks about the owner's brusque demeanor.
