Zahav Restaurant Review

: Zahav, which means gold in Hebrew, showcases chef Michael Solomonov’s love for the foods of his homeland. Whet your appetite with an inventive cocktail (try a Lemonnana, with bourbon, muddled mint and verbena) before scooping up the flavorful, chickpea-studded masbacha hummus (one of four hummus varieties) served with homemade flatbread. Sample hot and cold mezze --- don’t miss the grilled sheep’s milk cheese sweetened with bits of date and the fried cauliflower --- before moving on to the restaurant’s signature coal-fired kebabs, including a skewer of ground duck with almonds or spiced eggplant over Israeli couscous. Or place yourself in the talented hands of chef Solomonov, who offers a limited availability, ten-course tasting menu on Friday and Saturday nights.
