About Goshen
Goshen has held its corner of Nahalat Binyamin, the pedestrianised market street that runs south toward Neve Tzedek, long enough to count as a Tel Aviv institution rather than a trend. It is a kosher steakhouse that takes the beef seriously: cuts are dry-aged on the premises, the grill does the talking, and the wood-lined room keeps things relaxed rather than ceremonious. The Jerusalem Post called it a solid steakhouse, and that is the right register — this is a dependable meat house for a group, not a tasting-menu temple. It anchors the kosher end of our Tel Aviv dining guide.
The Kitchen
The kitchen’s point of pride is its in-house dry-aging: regulars order the aged entrecôte, hung a minimum of thirty days, and the difference shows in the crust off the grill. Start with the entrecôte bruschetta, a clever way to lead with the same cut before the main event, then move to the entrecôte steak, the asado, or a plate of lamb kebabs. The smart order for a table is the ₪160 tasting menu: you choose an appetiser and a dessert, and the middle arrives as a sizzling tray of assorted meats meant to be passed around. Sirloin, carpaccio and grilled cuts fill out a menu that stays focused on what a kosher grill does best.
Because it is certified kosher and strictly a meat kitchen, there is no dairy on the plate and the room closes for Shabbat. Prices are fair for the quality, which is much of why Goshen has lasted. For the wider city, read our Tel Aviv guide, compare the showmanship of HaSalon, or see where it sits among our best tables for a team dinner.
The Room
Goshen is a warm, wood-heavy room that leans bistro rather than white-tablecloth. The sound level rises with the crowd on a busy night — this is a place that hums rather than hushes — so it suits conversation that does not need to stay confidential. Lighting is low and amber, tables are set close in the way of a market-street restaurant, and the dress code is smart-casual at most. Service is used to feeding groups and pacing a shared tray, and the pedestrian street outside means you can spill out for air between courses without dodging traffic.
Best for a Team Dinner
Book Goshen for a team dinner for three reasons: the ₪160 tasting menu is built for sharing, so nobody agonises over ordering; the steakhouse format gives a mixed group plenty to like; and the kosher certificate means colleagues who keep kosher can eat the whole table without a second thought. A typical scene: a long table on Nahalat Binyamin, a round of starters, then the sizzling tray landing in the middle to break the ice. Reserve ahead for a larger group and ask for a back table if you want to talk. For more options, see our best restaurants for a team dinner and best for a business lunch.
Not for
Not for a quiet, romantic dinner or anyone after a dairy dessert: Goshen is a busy kosher meat house that closes for Shabbat, so it is loud at peak, strictly fleishig, and shut Friday night through Saturday.
Frequently Asked
Is Goshen worth it?
Yes, if you want serious meat that happens to be kosher. Goshen dry-ages its own beef in-house — regulars order the 30-day aged entrecôte — and runs a ₪160 tasting menu that ends with a sizzling tray of assorted cuts for the table. The room is relaxed rather than formal, and prices are fair for the quality, which is why it has lasted on Nahalat Binyamin for years.
Is Goshen kosher?
Yes. Goshen holds a kosher certificate and is a meat (fleishig) restaurant, so it serves no dairy and closes for Shabbat, running Sunday through Thursday with hours that shift around the Jewish calendar. It is one of the better kosher steakhouses in central Tel Aviv. For more options see our Tel Aviv dining guide.
What should I order at Goshen?
Start with the entrecôte bruschetta, then go to the house-aged entrecôte steak or the asado. The ₪160 tasting menu is the move for a group: you pick an appetiser and dessert and share a sizzling tray of assorted meats in the middle. Lamb kebabs and sirloin round out the grill.
Is Goshen good for a team dinner?
Yes. The sizzling-tray tasting menu is designed for sharing, the steakhouse format suits a mixed group, and the kosher certificate means colleagues who keep kosher can eat freely. Book ahead for a larger table. For other group rooms see our best restaurants for a team dinner.
