Revered for its outstanding family-style, modern Israeli cuisine from founder Eyal Shani—also referred to as the “Godfather of Modern Israeli Cuisine”—the powerhouse brand teams up with Major Food Group to transport guests on a vibrant cultural journey in a historic Miami Beach location.

“Eyal is a dear friend and a true original,” says Major Food Group cofounder Jeff Zalaznick. “As peers, we’ve seen eye to eye, building restaurants that deliver excellent hospitality, unmatched food and a nightly celebration—and now, we finally get to do it together.
