Best place to eat Israeli food in Philadelphia.


Review by Daren

At Zahav, the atmosphere radiates a trendy yet cozy vibe that makes you feel right at home. I indulged in the Chef's tasting menu, and it was a flavorful journey! The branzino was cooked to perfection and paired beautifully with the unique fig appetizer. The drink selection is remarkable; I loved the cucumber and sumac tonic!

While the dining experience can be on the higher side, each plate feels thoughtfully crafted. A dessert of hazelnut basbousa was the perfect ending. Reservations are a must! 😊

Dining at Zahav was a delightful journey through flavors! The pomegranate lamb was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the crispy potatoes with whipped feta were a standout. Our server's recommendations were perfect. Don't skip the chocolate konafi for dessert - it's a must! Can't wait to return...

Zahav is a must-visit if you're in Philadelphia! 🌟 We scored a reservation for an early dinner and were seated right away. The cocktails were a treat, especially the Turkish coffee, which added a unique twist to our experience.

We indulged in the pomegranate lamb, which was incredibly tender, and paired it with a side of crispy Persian rice. The dips and bread stole the show, making for a delightful start.

Service was attentive and friendly - everything felt perfectly timed. A lovely ambiance made it even better. Can't wait to return and explore more of their menu! 🍽️✨
