Shakshuka in Israel: best spots?

My brother was just visiting and fell in love (like my husband, and to a lesser extent, me) with shakshuka: the eggs-cooked-in-tomato concoction.

We took him to Itzak's Place on Beit Lehem Road in Baka, Jerusalem - which is the best shakshuka we'd found in Jerusalem-- by far.
Then we went to another place, Tmol Shilshom, which one blogger said was the best shakshuka they'd had in Jerusalem by far - my brother and I disagreed. It was okay, but nothing I'd take another visitor to experience.

Dr. Shakshuka in Tel Aviv is supposed to be amazing for shakshuka, but I haven't been there yet.

Any other recommendations for amazing shakshuka in Jerusalem, or in Israel? I'd love to see the list here!

    I vote for Azura in Machane Yehuda market. Great shakshuka (spicy though) and an authentic family-owned little place. Enjoy!
