Yes, I largely agree with the other reviewers regarding the quality of the food. However, I must express my deep discomfort with this restaurant’s name: Tantura. I wonder how many customers are aware of the historical significance of the town it’s named after. Tantura is not just a coastal village; it is widely recognised—particularly in Israeli historical scholarship—as the site of a massacre during the 1948 Nakba (“catastrophe” in Arabic). The village witnessed the mass killing and expulsion of its Palestinian residents, an event that has been extensively documented, including through firsthand testimonies in the documentary Tantura. These accounts, many of which come from the Israeli soldiers themselves, are harrowing and undeniable. To name a restaurant after such a place—while serving food that is part of the very culture that was uprooted—without any acknowledgment of that context, feels deeply unsettling. It evokes the sense of erasure, where the cultural symbols of a people are preserved for consumption, while their history is ignored or rewritten. This is not intended as a smear against the food or service, but as a sincere reflection on the atmosphere I felt. There’s a dissonance in enjoying the cuisine of a people whose suffering remains unacknowledged—whose legacy, in this case, is buried (literally and figuratively) beneath modern conveniences like parking lots. One question continues to linger: Why do restaurants like this, especially outside of Israel, often label their food as “Levantine,” “Mediterranean,” or “Middle Eastern” rather than explicitly “Israeli”? It may be because doing so would require grappling with the realities of cultural appropriation and displacement—the erasure of the Palestinian. I expect this review may provoke disagreement or attempts to have it removed. But I invite a more important question in return: Have I said anything that contradicts the scholarship of respected Israeli historians like Ilan Pappé or Avi Shlaim? The answer is a most definitive no.
