This place was amazing! I'll start with the service - impeccable! I came here for a friends birthday and the minute we walked in we were greeted with smiling faces! We were sat very quickly and immediately our server came over and walked us through how everything worked. After we placed our order it was time to eat quickly after - please come hungry. Every bite was delicious. The only thing we didn't like was the desert however, this may have just been our taste buds not enjoying the poppy seeds! Must go to - there's definitely a reason it's so hard to get a resy!

Come hungry as there's a lot of food (arguably too much)! We went with the pomegranate lamb for our main, which was the highlight of the meal. Though everything was good, nothing truly stood out especially as we got increasingly full. Everyone who works there is super friendly. Though reservations go fast, had no trouble getting one through Resy Notify.

All disappointment from meet and greet, to service to blent and mediocre food. I can say that the humus was really good and the busboy did an excellent job but we felt unwelcomed by the wait staff, unimpressed with food presentation and choice, felt that the place wasn't very clean and was very noisy. Main signature dish - Pomegranate Lamb was ok but nothing notable and definitely not worth the money. It's a given that our expectations were high with all the buzz going about the place and customers flocking in, but sadly, we didn't find anything remarkable and left feeling quite disappointed.

Overall very overrated. Also felt a little sick after. Skip it, and try Malooga instead--better quality at reasonable prices and better atmosphere.

Best Israeli restaurant! Amazing small plates and lamb, must try if you can get in! The lamb is to die for.

Absolutely a MUST in Phila if you are able to nab a reservation OR just wait for a bar seat right when they open at 5. It was my first time here in a decade and the food is just as good as ever with exceptional service. Our server, Anthony, went well above and beyond to make sure that we had a great experience end-to-end. I would highly recommend the lamb shoulder or the duck - you can add an entree for $55 as well. Both were excellent and the duck is in limited quantity so be sure to grab an earlier seating if you are able to as they tend to run out by the second round of the evening. It's worth the wait on either Resy or for a bar seat.

Had the incredible opportunity to experience Zahav as part of a wedding rehearsal dinner recently. We were brought into a special event room in the back with 2 long tables. The staff was exceptional in taking care of us all night; they explained each course, refilled drinks quickly. The whole experience was remarkable. The absolute standouts for me were the dip with the beets (the purple one, it's hard to miss!) and the pork shoulder. Being that we were such a large group, we had massive portions of everything...the pork was INSANE to look at. The meat fell off without a fight and it was ridiculously delicious. All of the dips were great, the veggie sides, the chicken... I mean there wasn't ONE bad bite. Now the dessert deserves its own shine. We had this chocolate ganache coconut pie thing... I don't really know how else to describe it. Looking at it you wouldn't expect the middle would be warm and chocolately but it sure was. It was super coconutty too, but not in an overpowering way. It's very clear why Zahav has the notoriety it does. Big fan!!

By far the best hummus I've ever had in my life. All the opening dishes in the tasting menu were incredible. The chicken kebab was good, brisket was eh. Halloumi and labneh both insanely good. Love this place.

The shoulder lamb was incredible! Highly recommend! The flavor and quality was amazing. It's so tender and melts in your mouth. The tasting is $85 per person and an automatic 20% gratuity is included, so expect to pay over $100 per person. For me personally I think it is a bit overpriced, however a unique one time experience that you should try at least once.

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!

James Beard got it wrong with this one. uninspired, unoriginal, unremarkable, colonialist garbage.
Be the first to Reply0 Replys, 0 commentsEveryone seemed to love this place but me.
I had very high expectations from this place due to all the hype people were telling me. It was such a disappointment!! The service was less than many other high end restaurants that I have been to. Maybe it was an off night for the staff. They didn't change our plates after eating the first course so that the first and second course I had to mix the flavors!! The restaurant was a bit too dark to be able to see well also. I understand about ambience but it was a bit too dark for that so I worry about the cleanliness!! As for the food, definitely not worth the calories consumed!! Their famous hummus was very salty!! I always believed that good food does not have to be salty. I get it that people drink wine or cocktails need the salt to taste the food!! As for their fried cauliflower, I was so excited to try but it tasted burnt and a mouthful of oil came out as I chew it. Not the greatest experience!! I have had deep fried cauliflower or broccoli before at other restaurant, let me assure you there is a way to keep it not that oily!! Holy cow!! The other dishes were ok nothing to write home about for sure. As for the meats - the lamb was a bit too gamey for me. The short ribs was definitely the worst I have ever eaten. It was all fat!! I actually had only a couple of bites and left the rest there!! Usually I do expect it to be fatty but one can also find some meat but what we got was mostly fat and thin strips of meat!! The steak with mushrooms were cooked very rare!! The mushroom were quite tasty but again it came out not hot and I am not the type to eat bloody pieces of meat!! So I only ate the mushroom and they were delicious!! I really don't know how this place can be the best to eat at. Honestly I left the place hungry and had to go to Positano which is nearby to grab some food! What a disappointment!! I am going to assume it was an off night for them!! But at these prices there should be no off night. Being a foodie I expect at high end restaurants to serve food that is not too salty and to ask how do we want our steak to be cooked.. etc... I apologize for giving such a bad review but I really didn't like it. I have been to Tel Aviv many times for my business travels and let me tell you the restaurants there are incredible!! This is terrible compared to those places!! I remembered not ever having a bad meal there from the bread to the hummus to the grilled fishes. So fresh!! Another thing I can't imagine is people have to wait two months to get a reservation for two. Save your time and go elsewhere. All hyped!! Hope the owners do some reflection because I do want them to do well!! If you like their food - good for you but for me, I will not come back anytime soon!! Save your calories for other places with great food, great service and a place that makes the food taste homemade and not over salt it so you have to keep drinking liquor to overcome the saltiness!! Remember as you get older you only have so much appetite, eat something worth the calories that you can consume! At least I didn't get sick eating at Zahav!! I guess that is one good thing I can say and the mushrooms were very good that came with the steak!!
Be the first to Reply0 Replys, 0 commentsAmazing! I have never had a bad meal at Zahav (the inside
Amazing! I have never had a bad meal at Zahav (the inside not the patio seating). The meal was 85 dollars per person but included small dipping portions with fresh pita, mezze, and one mesibah with an ending of dessert. The meal alone was so much we ended up with a ton of leftovers. I started the meal with a cocktail. It was the open sesame and it was very delicious. The drink had scotch, sesame, and bitters. Fresh pita was brought out with a ton of small dipping plates surrounding the hummus. The pita was ok but the hummus was the best I have ever had. The dipping portions were equally amazing. Broccolini with Caramelized Onions and Pickled Napa Cabbage were so amazing. We had so much left over, the staff graciously gave us more pita. The bartender at the bar (which we were seated at) was very helpful and friendly to chat with. The mezze came up next. Of note was the Roasted Broccoli. I loved how the broccoli was marinated in lemon and how the dipping sauce was tehina. The Phyllo-wrapped Haloumi was delicious. The cheese melted in my mouth. The entree was split between 2 people. We split the Pomegranate Lamb Shoulder. I think this is the only dish we regretted. The bartender said it was the most popular entree but it was a bit too sticky and the lamb taste was too pronounced for my liking. I also didn't taste any pomegranate. I think next time I go I want to try out the other side of the menu. The dessert that came was so so good. The Malabi Custard was a delicious custard that had candied walnuts.

Just wish it was easier to get a table and enjoy more often! That lamb ... it haunts my dreams. :sigh:
Be the first to Reply0 Replys, 0 commentsReserved a spot for two at the bar.
I prefer it since it's more intimate than shouting across the table. The bartender explained the menu to us and another couple. He would provide us silverware, drinks, and that our orders. The first two portions are automatically ordered with every item ordered and delivered. The first portion included 5 items that were all fantastic, with the Beets with tahini and twice cooked egg plant shining out the most. Ordered another Laffa bread since the first was insufficient. Next, the various Mezze plates were served. They were simple but delicious. After that, we chose the pomegranate lamb shoulder. Neither of us like most lamb but it was zahav signature dish so we went for it. It wasn't great. We'll choose the Al' Hahesh dishes next time. The Malabi Custard was excellent. The custard mixed well with the candied walnut. We were also given a date who's seed was replaced with almonds. Soo good. Out of all fine dining Israeli restaurants I've been to, Zahav is the only restaurant worth it's $$$.

I have eaten in so many high end restaurants, but this one is special. It. Was. Everything. The entrance. The warm greeting. The perfect round table for 5 where we could all talk easily to one another throughout the meal, the decor, the lighting, the amazing food, and Sydney! Sydney is one of the all time great wait staff people. She gracefully handled 4-6 tables of 5 and 7. She was the exact right amount of present, attentive, delightful, professional, and kind. Yes, our wait staff person was kind! This is a special TREAT restaurant. The food on the tasting menu was abundant, flavorful, creative and delicious. I am a weirdly picky pescatarian who doesn't eat spicy food or beets. Skipping those two dishes, I enjoyed so many unusually deliciously prepared "salatim"salads; the most amazing dorrade fish wrapped in grape leaves and chocolate kanafe. I didn't like the drink I ordered. Sydney noticed this and promptly insisted that I get a drink I liked better, and did not charge me for the one I ordered originally. This entire meal experience was unforgettable and I feel grateful I had the chance to dine here. You should, too.

Dined here last night and every aspect of the night blew me away. Our reservation was at 7 and we were seated immediately. Graham was our server/bartender and he was absolutely incredible. His knowledge of the menu was truly impressive and his drink recommendations were second to none. Another standout was Anthony who was super attentive and personable and did a great job of making us feel right at home. The sheer volume of food is overwhelming and the entire experience is MORE than worth the money. Not only is the quantity of food large, but the execution of every dish is spot on. This is the best restaurant I've eaten at in Philly and a must try for any foodie in the area!

The most amazing restaurant in Philadelphia! The waitress we had was so nice and welcoming as well as extremely knowledgeable able the dishes, ingredients, wine origins and was so excited to share this eating experience with us. The Salatim were amazing, our personal favorites being the fennel and cabbage. The hummus and laffa were great and had amazing zaatar seasoning. Appetizers were also very good, our favorite being the carrots and the crispy potatoes. At this point we were so full! We recommend the Al haesh to be able to try several different skewers which were served with cabbage and baharat rice. Lastly the malabi dessert with calamansi was amazingly refreshing and fruity! I recommend the wine pairing as well. Cozy feel in the restaurant and friendly atmosphere was a plus.

It's difficult to think of a place I would like to eat at less than this one.
Be the first to Reply0 Replys, 0 commentsI love Zahav! I wish it wasn't so hard to get a reservation
I love Zahav! I wish it wasn't so hard to get a reservation otherwise I'd be here at least once a month. When you come you have 2 menu options and each comes with several courses. The first time I came I got the one with Persian rice and it was good but the second time I came I tried the other one (pictures below) and it was much much better!! Parking is easy to find right outside and the service is phenomenal. Would def recommend
Be the first to Reply0 Replys, 0 commentsJust an exceptional experience as Lisa E.
and I celebrated our 31st anniversary with a one night getaway. We toured Philly on foot logging just under 9 miles and worked up quite an appetite. Yet, we have enough leftovers to host a Shabbat dinner for 4. We sat caddy-corner at a table for 2 allowing for views of the kitchen, bar, and main dining room. Our waitperson Chris provided an overview of the tasting menu. While awaiting my cocktail, he brought us flutes of a crisp sparkling pinot noir blend from Australia. Seeking something more traditional from the cocktail menu, he recommended the Quench Me- rye, calvados, cynar, and vermouth. Complex , nuanced and quite enjoyable. The first course began with the delicious zatar flatbread served with salatim. My favorites were the hummus with green tahini, the fennel, and the Napa with onions. The second course standouts were the kataifi halloumi and figs with tzatzik. Dishes kept coming at a perfect pace , with the exception that the third course and main entree came at the same time. Not sure if that was an oversight but my preference would have been to have a pause between the courses. By the time we finished the crisp skinned branzino and took one bite of the rich lamb with the crisp rice we were done for the evening. Dessert and off menu stuffed dates will wait for tonight's after dinner treat back home. We walked off the meal with a moonlight stroll towards our hotel on a fine spring evening, satiated, content, and ready for the next life adventure together.

Get the humus and sit at the bar to do the tasting. The bartenders are top notch. Loved seeing Troy there.

Honestly, some things on the menu were really goI'd and other things just okay. I don't get the hype of this place people really rave about it and I (and my whole table) was extremely underwhelmed with the food and the service. Id way rather go to Vetri or Laurel and get my dollars worth. The service was also just okay compared to other similarly priced restaurants in the city. It's a no from me, dawg.
Be the first to Reply0 Replys, 0 commentsThis may be an unpopular opinion, but Zahav was fine and I
This may be an unpopular opinion, but Zahav was fine and I most likely would not return. Let me explain why;Food: the only option they provide is the chefs tasting menu ($75). Which I probably would have ordered anyway. The food was good, but truthfully average and lacked the flavor profile that I have found at suraya and laser wolf. There are only 2 options for the main dish - lamb or eggplant. The lamb was nice but it came out on a dish and presentation that didn't feel like it was supposed to be a main course. However, I will say they provided a lot of food and I was impressed with the quantity. The quality needs some work. Service: our wait staff was lovely. They did a very good job explaining all of the dishes and we did the wine pairing which I think added a lot to the experience. They have a "service charge" of 20% but what was uncomfortable was their explanation that "this is not gratuity, rather a charge to make sure the kitchen and staff can meet living wage, gratuity is appreciated." - I fully respect that, but when the service charge is almost 100$ .... Ambiance: is fine, but this place is so overhyped that I really expected something spectacular. But overall the staff was nice and the service was good. The restaurant was relatively empty and with how challenging it is to get reservations here - I think they must only release a certain number to make it appear in high demand. So all in all - the food was fine but no where near the cost. It was overrated. If you want to go for the experience and to say that you did - go for it. You will not find me here again.
