Roladin Restaurant and Café

If you see Roladin owner Haim Gweta this week, be kind, he won’t be sleeping much. He began working on fresh orders of sufganiyot for night one at 3:00 am on Sunday morning.

Unlike a lot of sufganiyot around town, Roladin’s are made with a dairy dough. They have some of the widest arrays of flavors too. We recommend the Nutella and crème brûlée. Last year, Gal Gadot commended Roladin’s sufganiyot as her favorite (video).

There are 78 Roladin locations around the world (it’s Israel’s largest bakery chain), but one step inside the Reseda location and you’ll see a culinary community pillar. There’s a family feel to Roladin, including amongst the staff. One server has worked there since the week after its grand opening 14 years ago.

There is ample sitdown space inside and outside. When the Journal visited, their corkboard was packed with pre-order slips.

Be sure to try the shakshuka sandwich, sabich sandwich and the sfenj (Moroccan donuts).
