Cafe Denya, Court City

August 2026
We have been enjoying Cafe Denya for close to 20 years. The original restaurant opened in Denya Square, Beit Hakerem. Those ambitious Denya people have been expanding and have opened new restaurants.

Today the Cafe Denya restaurant chain numbers three restaurants:
* 102 Herzl St, Beit Hakerem
* 35 Kanfei Nesharim, Givat Shaul
* 15 Sarei Yisrael, Court City (off Yaffo)

Cafe Denya restauants are Jerusalem city restaurants, all easily accessed on the Light Rail. All of the cafes present the same full and delicious menu, and are kasher L'mhadrin.

Start your day with a Cafe Denya breakfast offered from 8am till 1pm. Choose from a light single-course breakfast to a full breakfast for two. Eggs and bread fresh out of the tabun oven are always a go. Our pick for a delicious and creative breakfst dish is either the grill cheese or the eggs benedict. Denya has its own take on grilled cheese, served with a delicious sauce, that you are sure to love. Eggs Benedict are a treat, not usually served in a kosher restaurant.

At 1pm they put the breakfast away and bring on the full dairy menu. This menu is available throughout the day till 10:00pm. I am trying to work out why these restaurants are called "cafe." With their full menu, they are nothing short of full dairy restaurants.

The most delicious breads, pizzas and bakery items area baked in the on-site stone oven. Don't miss Denya's signature focaccia, served warm from the oven with salsa, tahini, and smoked eggplant cream.

I have it on good word that the Tuna Takaki is one of the favorite Denya starter dishes. Fresh, cured slices of tuna are presented on a platter with vegetables. The salads at Denya are legendary. The most popular is the Denya Salad topped with teriyaki-glazed crispy sweet potato strips and feta cheese. The more adventuresome diners will prefer the quinoa- based Barzel Salad with black lentils, and roasted sweet potato.

Pasta dishes are the most popular main courses with Pappardelle Alfredo Funghi with wild mushrooms leading the pack. We love all the different sauces recommended on the pasta. Cafe Denya also offers lovely fish dishes such as salmon fillet and fish & chips.

August 2026: I went to eat with my family of 7 at Cafe Denya on Yafo. It was packed. The waitress was so nice. She did everything with a smile. We had the breakfast for 2, and more. The French toast is out of this world. The eggs Benedict were amazing! The salads were fresh and delicious. They brought us free grapefruit shots they were very good. The fresh squeezed orange juice was a must. There was an over abundance of tasty food. Everything was good! The atmosphere was great. The whole family can't wait until our next visit.

July 2026: Cafe Denya is a family favorite. So much so that when my brother tragically passed away it was clear that the meal after the azkara should be there.
We enjoy all the branches.
Thank you.

August 2026: My husband and I are vegetarians and we LOVE Cafe Denya, especially the branch at 15 Sarei Yisrael. It is very close to the central bus station, making it very accessible, and the ambiance is lovely. There are big windows facing the street and a variety of seating arrangements. The restaurant is clean and modern, the waitresses are polite, and of course the food is delicious!

August 2026: I prefer the [branch] in Bet HaKarem. I have been to all three, but I love the Bet HaKarem neighborhood and I also found the staff at that branch to be the nicest.

August 2026: Cafe Denya is our favorite with friends who live all over Jerusalem and beyond. Everyone always finds something that they are thrilled to eat and the choices whether for breakfast or business lunch or dinner are incredible.  We are never bored going to Denya because of the variety of choices in each menu.  My personal favorite is the Denya Salad.  My husband's favorite is the Fish and Chips.  The location in Sarei Yisroel has been a boost for visiting friends.  Of course our favorite is in Givat Shaul because of the huge mirpeset seating area. The wait staff is always attentive and friendly and also always English speaking for our visitors!

Cafe Denya is an excellent choice for smachot. The convenient location, the easy access on the light rail make it an ideal venue for bar/bat mitzvot, britot, etc. The fine dairy menu is ideal for a daytime or an evening get together.
