Karma

Karma's ground level offers a covered veranda, while the upper level, which can also be hired for private affairs of up to 60 guests, offers views of the surrounding pastoral village and the Judean Hills. The entire restaurant has wireless internet access, and ample parking can be found nearby.

The kitchen serves up a huge array of dishes ranging from hot and cold salads, seafood, kiddie meals, pizzas and casseroles. Highlights include the 300-gram entrecote steak, portobello risotto with parmesan cheese, the fried cheese sandwich, teriyaki grilled spring chicken, four-mushroom or salmon fettuccine, and the signature chicken schnitzel plate. Specialty dishes from the chef run the gamut from the taboon-baked breakfast, a flatbread covered with vegetables and eggs; the crispy calamari starter with creamed peppers and chipotle aioli sauce; and a Druze-inspired appetizer platter, a thin pita overstuffed with lamb cuts, pine nuts, red sauce, tahini and roasted eggplant. In addition, a comprehensive menu of drinks includes fresh fruit shakes, cocktails, three beers on tap and 17 types of whiskey.
