Are you still having some time for a quick breakfast before getting on the train or are you still hungry after returning? Maybe you have just been on one of our IsraelRail day trips and after an exciting, long day of exploring and travelling, your stomach is pretty demanding. You get on the train back to Tel Aviv and all you can think of is a pizza or a big plate of hummus or shawarma. You know that feeling, right? Don’t worry, we can help you out on that! Here’s a list with the 5 best places for food near the Tel Aviv train stations (excluding Tel Aviv University). We assure you, that neither of them is further than a 15 minute walk from the station, so:
Bete’avon– Enjoy your meal!
Close to HaHagana
Dilek’s Turkish Bakery
Dilek is located right next to HaHagana station (2 minutes) and offers plenty of delicious meals and snacks, both sweet and savory, like pastries, börek or baklava. Besides their location and variety of the menu, Dilek has another major advantage: It’s open on Friday night! Whereas Jewish shops close every Friday afternoon for the Schabbat celebrations, Dilek as a Turkish shop is available for starving stomaches until 4am on Saturday morning.
Suduch is a chain, that guarantees a very tasty and very meaty kosher experience until late night! They offer their famous meat sandwiches, freshly prepared for a fair price. However, vegetarians and vegans better miss out on that one. After a 15 minute walk from HaShalom train station, even late night cravings will be satisfied.

Hummus Eliyahu
When travelling to Israel, of course, one cannot miss out on Hummus, a puree of chickpeas and different other ingredients. Hummus Eliyahu is a chain with several places in Tel Aviv and a great place for food near the Tel Aviv train stations. They offer a variety of hummus dishes, for example with tahini, eggplant, mushrooms and even vegan shawarma. Also, the traditional middle eastern dessert called Malabi is up the menu, which is commonly served with rose water or petals. Located only 5 minutes from Savidor Centre, we highly recommend a visit.
Traditional, but vegan-friendly Israeli food: Vegan shawarma, hummus, pickles and pita.
