Great food - they call is modern Israeli, which seems to be a mix of classics and some interesting twists on Mediterranean food. I'm vegan and there were several options (be sure to speak up since several were easy adaptations of dishes that usually come with non-vegan sauce or cheese). It's like an Israeli tapas place. I suggest the salatim... More

We visited Zahav in May 2013 and took the recommended menu selection which cost 45 dollars per person. It was amazing experience and perfect full dinner for two people. The main course was the most amazing piece of lamb I have ever tasted. Highly recommended.

Service was very attentive. Noise level was extremely high. Got tasting menu but there wasn't enough taste for most of the items.

The view was lovely, green from most angles.The waiter was extremely careful with allergies and ignorance of Israeli cuisine which he translated pleasantly; the 10-year old with us was treated respectfully. The best item we had was the flatbread, a relative of naan. Many forms of hummus on the menu.... More
