Raviv: The Wonderful Wizard of Spices

Welcome to Raviv’s realm of the finest spices, oils, herbs and more. He sells to customers ranging from renowned Michelin-star chefs to home cooks everywhere. Entering Raviv’s store is a sensory experience - the scent of all the different spices and herbs he imports from Sri Lanka, India, Turkey and around the world, the warm red lighting and the music playing will disconnect you from the world outside.

This is exactly the experience he planned in his heart when he opened the store 17 years ago. Raviv is known as the wizard of spices in town, he cares and knows everything there is about each and every spice, herb and anything he has in his magical kingdom. He loves opening the door when he arrives each morning and taking in the scent of the store when he first walks in. He says you cannot find that smell anywhere - not at a perfume store, farmers market or bakery. Raviv loves asking customers to smell a spice and guess what it is - and his face lights up with joy as he watches their reactions.

Raviv also creates his own special types of blends for tea, coffee, salad and rice. He is a professional chef and has his own special touch. Raviv is very proud of his Yemenite family heritage and you can easily feel that energy. In his shop there are plenty of pots and plates from Yemen and he even drums on a tin box according to Yemenite traditional tunes.
