We absolutely love coming to Zahav! Our only complaint is the wait time for a reservation but it is for good reason, this is THE place to eat in Philly! My husband and I have been several times and most recently took our parents to enjoy the experience. If you are looking for true Israeli cuisine, this is the place for you! The food is beyond delicious, authentic and the overall vibe of the restaurant is fun and fresh. You won't be disappointed!

I'm not sure if we were there on an off service night but from when we arrived to when we left our experience was less than stellar. You arrive & its quite chaotic, table wasn't ready upon arrival for our reservation for us & many others waiting in front of us. Our server was the highlight of the night, she was great throughout our experience. One of the items we came for was the famous Slow Cooked Lamb Shoulder. When asked about it for the tasting menu, we were told they were out already, for a 7:30 reservation which is ridiculous when you can get bar seating without reservations earlier & can order it. Our experience continued downhill from there. Drinks took forever to come out & our food was coming out under cooked, over cooked & cold as we watched the table next to us who sat down 15 minutes after us & took forever to place their order get their food before us having also ordered the tasting menu. Our steak looked well done while theirs came out right after ours looking as if it was just pulled off the grill. They left & paid before us. The "pusher" responsible for reviewing & releasing the food wasn't doing a great job. We watched tables around us get food at completely random times with long waits, short wait & no cadence. The food was rather forgetabble. We have an Israeli restuarant in Chicago that across the board all their dishes were better especially for the price. The hot hummus was the best part of the meal. Reservations are so hard to get & the fact you don't get asked during your reservation if you are interested in their signature dish would make one assume you can't request ahead of time but first come first serve. There is no information regarding any of this on their website. If you are going for that dish, get a bar seat or make 5pm reservations. We are fortunate to travel all over the world & try all types of local food but for us a place with so much hype we would not recommend to our friends based on our overall experience.

There is not enough text space in this dialog box to fully explain the horrendous experience. The service is the main root of the problem. This was one of the worst experiences I have ever had in my adult life whilst eating at out at a restaurant.

Great food, but slow service. Your food will come before your drinks. There is an overall attitude problem here. The waitstaff should take it down a peg or two. The food is the star here, not you. No excuses.

We had a wonderful dinner celebrating our wedding anniversary. The staff wished us congratulations and we had specially printed menus just for us. The food is terrific. Their hummus is the best anywhere The lamb with the pomegranate molasses glaze was heavenly. My only complaint is that the music was a little loud at times. What a memorable dinner.

The meal and service are impeccable. Found a really nice (and reasonable) Lebanese red wine to go with the tasting menu (which is really the only way to go). Table location was ideal (not in the more crowded set of tables). Just a tad warm--although it was a super hot day. Already have the next reservation for next month. Combo of quality, inventiveness, price and service can't really be beat.

I've dined at Zahav numerous times. We made a reservation this past time for my birthday. I have a few food allergies and they curated a menu specifically for me based on this knowledge. It was very thoughtful and really put a smile on my face. Two of the dishes out of many ordered were over-salted to our taste buds and this was never an issue in the past. Overall, I love Zahav and would definitely recommend!

This our second time at Zahav. The food is simple but outstanding. Great interpretations of Israeli classics. At $48 per person, the tasting menu is a great value. More than enough food, plenty of choices, and dessert is included. The wait staff is friendly and helpful. They know the food and how to explain it. I highly recommend Zahav.

Our party of four ordered the tasting menu. The meal was excellent. We loved the great variety of dishes and interesting flavors. The servers were extremely friendly and attentive. The space is attractive, too. Also, I appreciated the personalized birthday message on the menu for my daughter and the birthday greetings from the waitstaff. There was only one problem which detracted significantly from our experience: the noise level. The music was so loud (and not particularly interesting or cool) that we couldn’t hear ourselves talk. We couldn’t even hear the servers trying to carefully explain the contents of each dish, which was a real bummer. I asked a few times for them to repeat what they said, but then I just gave up. We were very interested in knowing about each dish and chatting about that at dinner. That is kind of the point of a tasting menu. Having a crazy loud space doesn’t make it more happening, in my opinion.

We went here with my parents because they wanted to try Zahav. My husband and parents beat me there (since I had to work). I was happy that they were able to be seated prior to my arrival. The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. The food was amazing and they had a good amount of vegetarian options. The drinks were super tasty as well! They offer small plates and they are pretty filling. The hummus is a must get. My dad hates hummus and he even said that this was the only hummus he’s ever had that actually tasted good. If we weren’t so stuffed, I definitely would’ve tried the dessert, but maybe next time!

How could you describe this restaurant as anything but amazing. From the Turkish hummus (a must order!!) to the desserts, we had some of the best food I’ve ever eaten. The only miss was the Lamb tartar which was significantly over salted. Put this restaurant on your list to try, and you will not regret it!
