Avramito Family Meat Restaurant

January 2025
The Biblical Avraham Avinu inspired humanity for thousands of years. Little did our forefather anticipate that his hachnasat orchim, his practice of welcoming guests, would be the inspiration for a restaurant in Beit Shemesh.

Avraham Avinu may not be waiting for you at the entrance to the Shaar Ha'ir mall, but at the restaurant of his namesake you are sure to get a meal fit for three angels. Avramito describes the cuisine as modern Mizrachi. I would describe it as just good food, without pretension. Avramito offers good quality meat dishes, comfortable seating, in a clean and orderly environment with pleasant service. There is no fancy chef and the dishes have a simple and clean presentation. The variety is sure to satisfy everyone with a price for every pocket.

Avramito is a grill restaurant with a variety of meats. The highlight and the most popular dishes on everyone's agenda are the shipudim (skewers). These come with different cuts ranging from pargit and other chicken skewers, to meat skewers. They also do an all-vegetable skewer for those who prefer.

This is a restaurant for families, for groups or for a comfortable sit-down with friends. There are children's menus and combinations sized for different groups who can opt for shared platters of salads and a mix of meats piled high on platters.

The menu, in Hebrew and English, offers starters and assorted salads. The starters include humus, chips, spicy cooked vegetables, etc., each priced accordingly. The long list of cold salads served in individual bowls, shipudiya style, are priced at 30 shekels per person.

The appetizer section that follows includes light dishes that can be shared or can serve as light main dishes. These include meat salads, chicken wings in a chili sauce, charred eggplant, all in the NIS 40 range. Then come a list of skewers ranging from chicken and pargit to entrecote and lamb meat skewers.

An attractive option on this menu is the combination shipudim dinners for two and four diners. These offer a mix of meat skewers plus a vegetable skewer served with two side dishes of your choice. A combination skewer dinner for four comes with eight skewers plus two vegetable skewers. The combinations skewer meals have an economical advantage and are priced according to the choice of meats.

Though the shipudim are the calling card, the restaurant also offers platters of grilled meats. Schnitzel, mixed grill and steak.

We started our meal with a selection of salads. The salads were the usual suspects, tasty and pleasant. We also had a very tasty plate of humus topped with techina and sprinkled with chopped parsley. This was served with a big crispy laffa bread, warm from the oven.

My companion went on to enjoy two meat skewers and cooked vegetables. The vegetables were served in separate bowls for a clean and attractive look.

Avramito offers a fixed price lunch daily. The lunch includes a selection of shipudim, priced according to the type of meat. The restaurant also offers a unique specialty lunch that changes daily. Here's a tip: Monday is meat ball day. Plan your day.

Avramito is owned and managed by a team of three talented restaurateurs with years experience in other restaurant ventures. They are always innovating ideas, working out the best models.

Avramito caters group meals in the inner room of the restaurants. Meals can be configured to the needs of the group. The restaurant offers at 5% discount for groups of 25 or more. Avramito restaurant is located on the 3rd floor - the commercial floor - of the Shaar Hair Mall, Beit Shemesh. The mall has underground parking.
