Zahav

Zahav brings the flavors of Israel’s cultural crossroads to Philadelphia. While Israeli Cuisine is in a constant state of evolution, the cooking at Zahav comes from a deep well of Israeli hospitality. We offer two menu options for guests to enjoy: Al Ha’esh (“Over Fire”) is a 4-course tasting menu featuring an expanded selection of charcoal-grilled skewers with Rice Pilaf, and Mesibah is a 4-course tasting menu featuring our signature Pomegranate Lamb Shoulder with Crispy Persian Rice, and two additional specialty entrées with rice, like Whole Dorade in Grape Leaves or Dry-aged Duck. Both menus begin with Laffa bread baked in the taboon, served alongside Salatim and Hummus-Tehina, and finish with award-winning desserts. Guests can enjoy a cold Lemonanna, a cocktail, or a bottle of boutique Israeli wine.

We welcome reservations, Tuesday – Saturday nights. Reservations are released 4 weeks to-the-day, at 11 am ET, in advance of the reservation date and opening one day at a time in a rolling fashion. We are closed Sundays and Mondays and reservations will not be released on those days.
