by Greg P. on My girlfriend and I went to Zahav on a Friday during restaurant week, and we agree that this was one of the best restaurant week offerings we've ever had, perhaps only rivaled by La Croix. This was a truly excellent restaurant experience! We arrived for a 6:45 PM dinner, checked out coats, and were seated within 10 minutes. The main dining room is a large, high ceilinged room that has been decorated to be open and inviting, with warm colors, candles, lamps, and attractive Israeli/Middle Eastern decor. The room was kept quite warm, very appropriate given the setting and the bitter cold of the evening. The restaurant week menu consisted of four courses-, mostly in the form of small plates. Their standard salatim and hummus are a fantastic way to start off the meal for the many different flavors to try out. I would recommend highly the crispy haloumi, Savta Mati's bourekas with sweet potato, and the Balkan pastel for the second course. For the third course, my hanger steak was good, but the branzino dish (The Jaffa), was delicious. Soft whitefish with crisped skin on one side, served warm. Absolutely amazing, and very well done. The desserts are perhaps not quite in the theme of the restaurant, but they are also tasty. Perhaps my favorite is the chocolate semifreddo on gianduja wafer with powdered salted toffee and candied kumquat slices--just astonishing and delicious. The service was excellent, from the coat check and rapid seating to the extremely attentive staff--a rarity to treasure in Philadelphia. At the end of the meal, we received two $10 gift cards off our next meal. An offer I think I will take them up on. Zahav-thanks for making our anniversary dinner absolutely perfect!
by Soila Perrin on I went here with a date after dinner with no real idea of what kind of club it was or where it was. We arrived and the bar is decorated well. It has a clean look. Lots of space with an upstairs and a downstairs. It was my dates' friends bday and so I only knew my date. We checked out the bar and it had plenty of room. I liked the venue and thought it could be a cool placed to come. However, the bartender was out of his mind. I had an open bar with him and he kept hitting on my date. I just had to laugh at the humor of the situation. Im not a jealous guy but the bartender is hitting on my obvious date and then expects me to tip him well....not happening. We actually both laughed about it later because it was so obvious and rude. He was trying to run some game but it just didnt happen for him. On a better note, the bartender upstairs was much cooler and didnt seem full of himself like the guy downstairs. He was very mellow and really cool and I wish I knew his name but I dont. The drink prices were not cheap, especially for that area, so I thought it a bit odd that they charged a cover too but not a big deal with me. I gave 3 stars for the location and the prices of the alcohol. Im a drinker so if you are charging crazy prices, I probably wont frequent the bar much.
by ray M. on Ethiopian is a cuisine I have been meaning to indulge in for quite some time. Several reputable sources have informed the committee that this exotic food would meet logistical and egotistical standards. As a moonlighting(bullshitting) vegetarian debutante I am always looking for a non-chemical-flesh filled meal. Never once have I crossed paths with or even been informed of the existence of Rassela until yesterday when I attended an external dinner party. Of the six person group only one had any experience in this business of Ethiopian cuisine. He led us on our excursion by taking the liberty of ordering the meal and the wine. The wine was some sort of honey concoction, highly alcoholic and very sweet. I wanted a Lagunitas IPA originally but our chairman insisted. The cook forgot about our appetizer to our waitress' polite annoyance but as it happened our entree was more than enough for the six of us. It is hard to explain Ethiopian food to a virgin. It's closest cousin is South Indian and if you haven't had that then you don't know what the hell I am talking about. SO, this is the break down is: you eat it with your hands, it is spicy, the food is scooped by bread that is a cross between a tortilla and a roll of toilet paper. If you like sauces with various meat or vegi mixes your taste buds will be laid to waste. The service was excellent, we were seated right away and our waitress was genuinely friendly. CONCLUSION: Fifth star is pending since I didn't stay for the live jazz.
