Tanduka, Yokneam Illit – Kosher Steakhouse

Tanduka is a kosher meat restaurant in the Yokneam Illit area, nestled at the foot of the Menashe forest reserve and offering a rustic, pastoral atmosphere in the heart of the Jezreel Valley. The restaurant serves a rich chef-crafted menu featuring meats aged on-site, fresh vegetables from local Jezreel Valley farms, and house-baked focaccia bread.

Tanduka’s interior blends rustic charm with elegance, and it includes a new event hall exuding a warm Tuscan ambiance. The venue hosts a wide range of private events, both family celebrations and corporate gatherings. It accommodates intimate weddings, brit milah ceremonies, bar/bat mitzvahs, birthday parties, as well as company events, team evenings and product launches, with up to about 140 guests.

Guests can choose from several event spaces, including the main dining hall, a private VIP room, and an adjacent open-air Israeli-style garden. On Friday afternoons the restaurant opens exclusively for pre-booked private events, allowing daytime celebrations in a relaxed atmosphere.

The Tanduka team customizes a special menu for each event and ensures attentive service with high kosher standards as needed. Event guests praise the high quality of the meats, the generous portions, and the personal attention provided by the staff and owner.
