I have a hard time finding good Israeli food where I live, so when I travel, I like to seek it out. Osi’s Kitchen had good reviews, and I had time on a Thursday evening, so I decided to give it a try. The restaurant is easy to find, located in a strip mall with plenty of parking. It’s small on the inside, and although it wasn’t busy when I arrived, it was pretty full by the time I left. The waiter brought me some olives and pickled veggies to munch on while I mulled over the menu… first sign I was in a quality establishment. I was torn between a few menu items, so I asked the waiter for his suggestion, and he pointed me toward the pargiot sandwich on a baguette. He knows his stuff. The meat was moist and flavorful, the baguette was perfectly toasty, and it tasted just like the sandwiches I got with my dad when we traveled to Israel when I was a kid. I raved about it to all of my Israeli colleagues, so hopefully I can bring him some more business. If you’re looking for an authentic, delicious, satisfying meal, this is your place. Just don’t go on the Sabbath. I’d recommend going as a group so you can try all of the salads because that’s the best part.

First time here and I love it! Warm cozy environment smooth Israeli music in the background and the food was really good! Home cooked meat balls and amazing hummus I was very surprised and I wish them great success!

Luckily I found this kosher place after searching for a meat resterant, I was not expecting such good food! I ordered couscous with vegetables and roast beef. It was so amazing! Real couscous made from scratch and I was very impressed, highly recommended! The roast beef was worm and taste like home made, which it not obvious at every restaurant! The service was amazing! Definitely will visit again. Thank you Eyal for serving us you are awesome!

I ordered lunch for 5 people, to be delivered at 11 am. My rating is based on the quality of the food(mediocre), the price(too high given the quality of the food), and the lateness of the delivery(almost 30 minutes). The food was lacking flavor. The fries were soft and under cooked. The falafel was bland. One person ordered some kind of chicken salad — it looked like hot chicken soup on a bed of lettuce. The portion sizes were small. $ 75 for 5 people is fine is the food was better, but this seemed more like mall food. Finally, I told the person who took the order that I would prefer they were early rather than late(we were on a tight schedule). I never got a call saying they would be late. I had to call. I never received an apology. I would have preferred to have been told that they couldn’t make it by 11. It was a serious inconvenience. I can’t imagine giving them another shot. Bummer because they are close to work and they deliver.

I’m not too familiar with Mediterranean food, but everything I’ve tried from here was delicious. They don’t seem busy at all during lunch, so if you’re coming with a group at this time, you should be fine. The interior is very trendy and clean and almost has a coffee shop vibe to it. My food always came out so fresh. Also, be prepared to pay for a pricey lunch! Kind of weird, but my part of 3 asked the server for more water and he brought back just one cup. Where’s the pitcher at?

First of all I want to preface this review by mentioning that I’m a professional chef who has worked for some of the best chefs in the city(Alain Ducasse, Guy Savoy and Joel Robuchon among others). I ordered delivery early in the afternoon upon the recommendation of an Algerian fellah I was with. The food arrived after about 45 minutes(not too bad considering the veritable feast me and my «friend» had ordered). The food arrived lukewarm to slightly cold, except for the mint tea which was hot. This didn’t matter at all!!! The food was that good! Highly recommended and can’t wait to eat at the restaurant itself. If you wish to hear me get all«chefy» and ramble on about the individual dishes read on. If not, drop what your doing now and go eat at osi’s. The merguez plate I got with couscous and pita. The merguez(four links) was tender and spicy with a nice snap and pleasant lamby flavor. It was garnished with lightly charred onions, which added a counterbalance of sweetness and savoriness to the mildly assertive sausage. The cous cous was fabulous. Even though the online order form says it’s «Israeli» couscous it was in fact the more common semolina variety common to North African cuisine. It was topped with an unexpected stew of carrot, acorn squash, potato and zucchini. Flavorful and delicious. From a text book perspective the veg was over cooked and very soft but I truly appreciate the flavors and textures of braised and stewed vegetables. So for me it was beautiful, especially paired with the NOT over cooked and properly steamed and seasoned couscous. The side of pita came with two very large, fluffy and soft flatbreads with the smallest hint of char on the exterior. Superb. If they are not made in house then they are from an excellent supplier. Not your average sad side of pita We also ordered the falafel and hummus plate. The hummus was smooth and creamy with a texture that was not too thin or too thick. The flavor was in perfect balance between the nuttiness and earthiness of the tahini, the sharpness of the lemon, the piquancy of the garlic and the richness of the olive oil. Not one overtaking the other leaving the dominant flavor of chickpeas intact. The falafel was not great though. It was truly amazing. I have probably eaten falafel in nearly every middle eatern/med restaurant across the valley(no joke). Even though it was cold it was still crispy with an amazingly creamy interior. None of that starchy and dry texture that can often be true of mediocre falafel. The flavor was bright with herbs and spices but still not dominate over the flavor of chickpea Also shared the platter of homemade«salads» Babaganoush was smoky and very good(not the best in town but still delicious) The carrot salad was fantastic. Carrots were sweet and had a slight crunch and very redolent of aromatic spices like cumin and coriander and high quality olive oil Beet salad was filled with properly cooked red beets(not too soft or undercooked), herbs and lightly crunchy onion. Good balance of sweetness and acidity The vegetable«cole slaw»(not sure of the proper name) was fresh and crunchy but did need a little more acid The true gem of the salads was the matbucha. A thick chunky purée of stewed tomato, peppers, garlic and spice. Addictive. Just plain addictive. The combination of the matbucha, couscous and acorn squash(in the couscous) was one of the best bites of food ive had in a while Finally the mint tea. It came hot and full of fresh mint. It was subtle yet flavorful and complimented the whole meal. Thanks fellow Unilocalers for hanging in their while I wax poetic on one of my new favorite restaurants in town. Seriously go eat there. NOW!!!

This is the BEST Israeli comfort food place on this side of the Atlantic. I recommend ordering the Mazza plates for two and either the merguez or the pargiyot– both are cooked and spiced to perfection. I did not have the pleasure of having some of the other items, but I imagine that they are also amazing. The service was exemplary, the waiter was extremely friendly and attentive, and our food arrived promptly. I plan on visiting this place again in the near future.

***First, they LIE about being Kosher certified. They ARENOT– despite claiming they are. There are SEVERAL, OFFICIAL Kosher certification sites that list REPUTABLE restaurants on their sites. You will NOT find Osi’s Kitchen on ANY of them. See for yourself.*** My gf and I ordered delivery from Osi’s via Eat24. 45 minutes later we get a text saying that our food can’t be delivered because they have no driver. –Seriously? 45 minutes later? So we drive there to pick it up. «We didn’t make the food yet, we didn’t know if you still wanted it.» –SERIOUSLY?! You haven’t even started it yet?! But our credit card was charged– Over $ 34, with a 20% tip. No «We’re sorry for the inconvenience» or «Can we offer you a complimentary appetizer or something to drink while we make it for you?» All they kept saying was«We had no driver.» I asked them why it took them 45 minutes to tell us. «We contacted Eat245 minutes after you placed the order» They were so cowardly and unprofessional in person, and made 0 attempt to correct their mistake. When we called Eat24 to have the charge on our card cancelled, I told the employee that I understand mistakes happen, but why did it take you 45 minutes to contact us? Eat24 representative: «Osi’s Kitchen contacted us at(EXACTLY44MINUTE) s later. It’s logged on the computer. We’ve refunded your charge and apologize.» They might be great chefs, the food might be awesome– I don’t know. But my gf and I will NEVER give them another chance. They are lousy business owners who had absolutely NOREGARDFOROURTIMETHATTHEYWASTED, made NOATTEMPT to correct their mistake, and LIED to our faces. Too bad. We are both vegetarians and enjoy supporting good kosher restaurants for humane reasons. These people don’t deserve anyone’s money. Not doing business like that. — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — - Sent to me today, 2÷11÷2016, from Osnat H. Owner «And my lawyer will contact you soon on your public Accusations about our kosher certification.» — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — - My response: «You made no efforts to remedy the situation. You deflected blame. You lied about the time you contacted Eat24. And I know the legal definition of slander. Display your Kosher certification publicly, and I will retract my statement. If you want to represent „Jewish Culture“ well, then be an honest and ethical business owner.» I stand by my statements, according to the official site(Which has since retracted its statement) pertaining to the printing on the business card, and Eat24 still has the log recording the time in which you contacted them. Please let me know if your Lawyer would like my number or email. Shalom.

From 12÷2÷15 I needed a falafel-fix so I went into Osi’s for lunch! First, let me just say this place is really nice, I love the way it’s set up, decorated, and the system they use looks hi-tech! I placed my order; it was ready in a reasonable amount of time, and the lady who rang me up was friendly! My falafel was delicious! I got it on a pita, there is an option to have it on a Baggett, perhaps I’ll try that next time I come here to grub

Delicious Middle eastern, North African food! Don’t need to be Jew to come here and enjoy the food :) ! I’m Muslim myself and it reminded me my sweet Moroccan home! We had the meat balls, couscous, pargiot, shakshouka with merguez! Everything was very delicious! Special mention to the meat ball and shakshouka! Also we were there for Hanukkah and we had free beignets: D !

Almost skipped Osi’s after reading a Unilocal review mentioning that they close at 7:30 p.m. That’s an ungodly hour for this night owl to eat dinner. Happily I noticed on the Unilocal page that their hours were until 9, and after calling to verify, we were on our way. This small storefront is simply decorated, but comfortable and clean. A friendly welcome and excellent service followed. There is no alcohol served, and you can bring wine, but it must be Kosher wine. Most liquor stores these days have a good selection of Kosher wines, but the bright and casual atmosphere at Osi’s isn’t that kind of place. A number of the menu entrees are available as platters or sandwiches. I ordered the Merguez sausage entrée. All entrees come with a small Israeli salad and a choice of potatoes or rice. I didn’t want either of those, so the waiter suggested couscous. Hubby had that, too, along with Schnitzel. We didn’t expect the couscous to arrive in large bowls covered with a carrot and vegetable stew on top, each a portion larger than what you’d get from preparing a box of Near East for a family of four! I enjoyed the Merguez, since it was a new taste for me — spicy but not fiery, and covered with some fried onions. I don’t know if I’d order it again, since some of the other non-familiar items on the menu were also appealing. My husband’s schnitzel was good, too. There seems to be a bit of a price disconnect between the entrees and the sandwiches. Our platters were $ 14.98 for a substantial amount of food. The same items in a baguette sandwich would be only $ 2 less, and come with no sides. I really would have preferred the sandwich, because(wo)man can live by bread alone, even with nothing inside, but I couldn’t justify it. And I’ll get to relive the couscous experience tomorrow, from the styrofoam«gift box» I took home. Oh, and for you who live by Unilocal and don’t have an unlimited data plan, they have wifi! Osi’s is a welcome addition to the growing Kosher restaurant presence in Vegas, and one that will appeal to the non-Kosher among us.

One of the best Mediterranean I have ever try in the area. Small and quite with great service so I recommend this place to anyone that want to try something different with a lot of spices and flavor.

Sweet service, clean kitchen, tasty food. Glad this spot finally opened up, menu offers some great dishes that aren’t found too many other places. I like that they have a daily special, as well as one of my favorite dishes, shakshuka. Tried the schnitzel sandwich and was surprised to see it served on a French baguette roll instead of the more traditional pita or laffa, but the bread ended up making the sandwich: crisp on the outside, fluffy inside, and super-fresh. Schnitzel was thin and crispy, sandwich condiments were a touch peppery for me. Sandwich served with some house-pickled vegetables, which was a nice touch. Heads up that they’re closed Saturdays for Sabbath. I’m used to kosher spots in Vegas having ridiculous prices, but the ones here are reasonable: $ 12 for sandwich above, and it was massive, delicious, and fresh.
