Angus Steakhouse serves quality Angus meat “straight from
the field”, the portions are large the meat soft and the prices are small. If
you are looking for a great Angus meal – this is the place for you! There are branches in Tel Aviv, Carmiel, Migdal and Ein Hamifratz.

Angus Steakhouse is owned by the Dabah Family who has been
raising cattle for over sixty years in the Galilee Mountains. The family opened
a small butchery in Carmiel (Deir Al-Asad) that turned into a small chain of
supermarkets, butchery and now also Angus restaurants. Angus has a number of
branches in Israel, in Carmiel (Deir Al-Asad), Migdal, Tel Aviv and Ein Hamifratz.
I read a number of reviews about the restaurant; they were
all too good to be true. This is why I was so keen to try Angus’ meat, and I
now join those who praise it.
We came to Angus in Tel Aviv on a Thursday noon. Angus is
divided into three areas. On the front of the building you will find Angusry
for faster meals and butchery, and in the back – Angus Steakhouse Restaurant.
Angus has plenty of seats indoors and outdoors and some near
the bar. The restaurant was very busy. The décor is up-to-date but has some
retro style.

The waitress was nice and had a lot of relevant knowledge – types
of meat, what’s soft, and how it is best to serve it. The menu is divided into
starters and types of meat – beef, lamb, and poultry and by types of dish –
steaks, hamburgers, etc. There is also a salad for those who prefer something
lighter and for the vegans. There are lunch deals as well.
Starters
We started with the House bread, cauliflower and eggplant.
House Bread
The House bread arrived first. Warm, covered with a layer of
Durum that gave it a gentle crunch and soft inside. With it, 3 dips were served
– smoked tahini, tomato salsa and seasoned butter. The dips are very unusual,
not the common dips you get with the bread, and were good. My partner loved the
salsa and smoked tahini and I got hooked on the seasoned butter that contained
herbs and some chili that turned it red and spicy. I couldn’t stop eating the
bread with it, which is not typical of me.

Cauliflower in Santa Fe pepper sauce and sour cream
Cauliflower chunks made Al Dante in yellow marinade, I felt
curry and curcumin in it, but it was very gentle. On top of it there were
parsley and chips of Parmesan cheese. It was served with diluted sour cream
that balanced the flavors. I prefer a thicker sour cream. At any rate, we enjoyed
the tasty cauliflower a lot and finished it. This dish is dairy.

Hunter’s Eggplant with herbs, chopped meat and Tahini
A small roasted eggplant served whole on a flat plate,
covered with ground beef, pine nut and sprinkled with white Tahini (the latter
wasn’t felt much). This is a very tasty dish! I felt that the eggplant was a
bit think below the meat, but the overall quantity was just right for a
starter. A very good starter, seasoned but not spicy.

Main Courses
We both like beef filet, so we ordered a fillet steak and a
pepper steak. We picked fries, and home fries for sides. The steaks are relatively
large portions – 250 grams each.
Pepper Steak 250g – 250g beef filet steak in creamy pepper sauce
Three seared rounds of beef, served on a hot skillet on top
of a pepper cream sauce with whole roasted peppers. We were taken by surprise
with this dish, as we expected the classic pepper sauce with Allspice and not
fresh peppers sauce. The meat was ordered medium – gentle, soft and juicy. The sauce
was a little spicy – so this is the dish for those who like spicier food!

Beef Filet - A tender, delicate cut from the tenderloin of the calf
Two rounds of seared Angus beef filet served with roasted
tomato and onion, beef marrow on bone and a small cabbage salad. I asked for a
little bit of mushroom-cream sauce (from the stroganoff on the menu) which was
excellent. I ordered the meat medium-well, one round (the thick) was perfect-
soft, and to die for! I loved every bite! The second was a little thinner so a
little more done and less juicy but still soft and tasty. The marrow was a real
treat! There aren’t many restaurants in Israel that make the meat perfectly the
way I love it – tasty and so juicy!

Fries
The fries here a bit different here, with a twist – steak
chips seasoned with paprika and chili (that’s what it feels like) – it makes it
a bit spicy but very yummy!

Home Fries
Medium sided potatoes in yellow seasoning (somewhat similar
to the cauliflower’s seasoning) with onions and parsley. Wow this is so yummy.
I couldn’t stop eating it.

Dessert and Drinks
We picked two desserts that are made here by Angus – Caramel
Budino and Malabi. They also make Knafeh (and I heard very good one) but we
were too full for it.
Malabi Angus
A very good choice of dessert after a full meal. A large quantity
of Malabi that was made without much gelatin and no artificial colors (it isn’t
red at all) served with coconut chips. The taste of the roses is strongly felt.

Caramel Budino
A small sized dessert, very sweet. The caramel is strongly
felt, covered with crushed fresh pistachio. Tasty.

Angus serves a large variety of beers, wines and cocktails.
We preferred not to have too much alcohol for lunch, so we shared a glass of
red wine. We picked Shoresh 2014 from the Israeli Tzora winery. An excellent
aged red blend.
In summary, Angus serves high quality tasty meat, well made
and inexpensive. I highly recommend it!
