One of the few constants in ever changing scene in Jerusalem. And one the few where you can have dinner on a Friday night (Jerusalem is getting more Kosher by the day). Crowded though (a reservation a week in advance is a recommended for the weekend). We had steaks, lamb chops, and fish and all where good and the price... More

Lovely ambience;lively without being too noisy for conversation. Excellent variety of food on the menu, both a la carte and the prix- fixe. Our steak- eaters got luscious steals but the schnitzel was disappointing - dry and flavorless. The appetizers were the hit of the evening and we would have been happy making a full meal of them.

Food and atmosphere was terrific. Probably the best fish (filet) I have ever had. The cauliflower appetizer was fantastic- try it! With a party of 8 and everyone meal was delicious!

Enjoyed a great dinner with a 'pre-fix' option that includes an assortment of appetizers, an entree, side and dessert. There are two price points depending upon your entree selection. The assortment of appetizers were delicious and great start to a fabulous dinner. Our top three favorites were the calamari, eggplant, and beet preparations of the 8 items delivered to our... More

We intended to go to the Chakra restaurant (apparently on 2F), but found ourselves in the Cafe (1F) instead. The food in the cafe is delicious and reasonably priced. We had stuffed grape leaves, fish filet w/ tabouleh, and chicken livers + mashed potatoes. Everything was cooked very nicely and flavorful. The atmosphere was very relaxing, and the staff was...

5 very hungry business men, one fix menu of tasting dinner, 2 bottles of geart Israeli wine, lovely waitresses and one very talented chef. 3 hours later, I can say with full tummy that this place is serving superb innovative food for fair price. Will come here every time I'll be in Jerusalem!!

Lots of dishes to choose from. Excellent bruchettes. Nice atmosphere, good and attentive service. We recommend the Chakra - we had some very good soup and good pasta with sea fruits.

The restaurant is among the top 3 in Jerusalem in my book (Machne Yehuda, Mona and Chakra). On the upper level (street level, versus lower level for the restaurant) you will find the Cafe. Run by the same owners the prices are lower and the fod is excellent, If you have kids both the resturant and the cafe are ideal... More

First Impressions: When our tour guide suggested we go to Chakra's for dinner, I had the distinct impression of us heading to an Indian curry joint. (Shows you how much I know.) Just off King George Street, below Cup o' Joe café, Chakra's was everything but... From its classy décor to its elegant ambience, everything points to a fine gourmet... More

We just returned from a wonderful meal at Chakra. We sat outside on the patio over looking a park. Delightful atmosphere. I had the spicy tuna for an appetizer that was great. Then we had the sea bream filets and the salmon but outstanding. The side of mash potatoes was also great. Wait staff was helpful and friendly, food came... More
