Yaniv Cohen, Miami's spice detective, has brought a touch of Israel's bustling and vibrant city of Tel Aviv to Hallandale with Jaffa. The restaurant, decorated with colorful tapestries and Israeli concert posters, matches the colorful plates set down at the dinner table. A deconstructed baba ghanouj in the form of a whole roasted eggplant filled with tahini, chickpeas, and pomegranate seeds, is representative of a meal here — it's a social dish that's meant for sharing with friends over a glass of wine. All the dishes work best with friends or family. The restaurant is especially abuzz during the weekend brunch buffet or on nights when a belly dancer undulates through the small dining room.
