SHO? — More Than Just a Restaurant
Over the past two years, SHO? has become a cultural hub for Ukrainians, Israeli Jews, and all who appreciate authenticity, warmth, and good food.
The menu reimagines Ukrainian classics — borscht, varenyky (dumplings), Chicken Kyiv, potato pancakes, syrnyky (cheese pancakes), and homemade liqueurs. But more than the food, it’s the soul of SHO? that makes it special.
On NAnews — Israel News, we’ve repeatedly featured SHO? as a rare place where Ukrainian and Jewish cultures don’t just coexist — they enrich each other.

As one local reviewer put it: “An authentic Ukrainian restaurant in the heart of Tel Aviv — generous portions, beautiful presentation, and unmistakable Ukrainian character.”
