I had a wonderful time dining here.
We managed to secure a reservation for an early dinner and were seated immediately upon arrival.
The waitress impressed us with her extensive knowledge of the menu and courses, and her drink recommendations were spot on.
The ambiance of the restaurant was delightful, enhanced by enjoyable music and a staff that was both attentive and efficient.
Each dish we tried was delectable, and I am eager to return to explore more options from their menu.
Instead of the typical espresso martini, they offered Turkish coffee, which was equally delightful.

ZAHAV was an amazing experience from start to finish.
The food was outstanding all around and the service was on point.
We had been trying to get a reservation for 2 years to get in and finally were able to.
The ambience and location is also great as well! The highlight of our night aside from the entire experience was meeting Michael Solomonov and being able to just have a conversation for 10 minutes.
I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone and plan to return again in the future.
We chose the lamb shoulder and it was great.

Had a wonderful dining experience at Zahav! Menu featured a lot of items I wouldn't normally eat or order, but everything was absolutely delicious and glad I tried it all! Since it was our first time, we tried the pomegranate lamb and it did not disappoint.
Pulled right off the bone and combined well with the stew and pickled veggies.
If I had to find any complaints, it'd be minor at wishing the rice had a little salt sprinkled on top, but the Persian rice was still crispy and paired well when you built a full bite with lamb and sauce. Our waitress was wonderful and our meal never felt rushed, with our water glasses never empty and food coming out well timed.
Thank you for a great evening! Hope to be back soon!
