The Qumran Restaurant?

CULINARY REVIEW: Qumran: The magic of Moishik in Tel Aviv - restaurant review. The restaurant is named for the cave where the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered in 1947. (Gloria Deutsch, Jerusalem Post). More accurately, it's named after the wadi near the Dead Sea which contains the caves.
The decor of the restaurant has some visual elements to justify the name – a few stone-like embellishments on the walls, and a mural of cave dwellers painted on a brick-colored wall.

But for the most part, it’s a modern, streamlined place that offers not just kosher dining but a cabaret later in the evening for the diners’ enjoyment.
