Before she stepped into her current role as executive chef at Kabab Burger Mediterranean Grill, Michaella Ben-Ari studied at Tadmore Culinary Arts in Tel Aviv. It was there, a culinary school nestled right along the Mediterranean coast, that she mastered the art of Mediterranean cooking. So she’s more than qualified to craft everything from falafel to gyros.

Enjoy a meal hot from the grill, like the chicken kabab. Chef Michaella marinates, skewers, and sears the meat, then piles it atop a bed of fluffy basmati rice with Israeli salad, fresh hummus, and pillowy pita bread on the side. You can also skip the meat and devour the falafel, complemented by the house-made hummus and tahini, a chopped salad, and pita on the side. Don’t forget to check out the list of burgers, many with a Mediterranean twist.
