NuNuNu: Fun Found in a Brioche Bun

I am always curious when a new restaurant opens up. Curious about the dishes the restaurant features, curious about the service I receive as a customer, and curious about the taste of the food. It is no wonder that after Chef Guy Gamzo opened up NuNuNu, I had to try it. Centrally located at 16 Herzl St, NuNuNu serves up a variety of brioche bun sandwiches which they like to call "dirty dining". NuNuNu specializes in six savory buns and two dessert buns. The savory buns include a shrimp bun, braised barbecue beef, schnitzel, macaroni and cheese, a classic hot dog with all the fixings, and even for the brave a pickled herring bun. As for their dessert buns, NuNuNu has a special cheesecake bun and a housemade ice cream bun as well. Side dishes include house seasoned fries, sweet potato fries, onion rings, classic coleslaw, and a green salad. The brioche buns that NuNuNu serves are definitely a guilty pleasure meal that you eat once in a while. The buns are saturated in butter and you can taste it. These heavy delicious buns are also not that cheap on your wallet either. The two dessert buns are priced at 26 shekels which is quite reasonable for a sweet treat. On the other hand, the savory buns range in price from 26 to 45 shekels. Once you add a drink and side dish, you could be paying over 60 shekels for a quick bite. After eating all the buns, their shrimp bun is by far the best in my opinion. Besides their staple menu items, NuNuNu also offers specials most weekends. Some of the specials have included a soft shell crab bun, steak tartare bun, Thai chicken curry bun, and a chili con carne bun. If you are gluten-free, you are in luck as NuNuNu does offer a gluten-free bun as an option for an additional charge of 4 shekels. Service at NuNuNu is above average from the service you tend to get around the city. Once you make your order, you are given a beeper which goes off when your order is ready. The staff does not give off a negative vibe which is always a good sign. As for returning to NuNuNu, I would have to say I would be a return customer. I would not eat it every day or week, but I would indulge in having one of their buns once in a while. NuNuNu offers a unique dining experience in Tel Aviv and is a must try for any adventurous eater.
