Zahav – Middle Eastern
The air at Zahav is thick with the scent of warm, pillowy laffa bread and wood-charred meats, drawing guests into a vibrant celebration of modern Israeli flavors. A kaleidoscope of seasonal salatim and silky hummus-tehina gives way to the theatrical Al Ha’esh tasting menu, where succulent beef cheek and spice-kissed shishlik skewers emerge from the flames to create a communal dining experience that feels like a joyous, sun-drenched party.
