The Quarter At Zahav


The Quarter of Zahav
The Quarter, Chef Michael Solomonov’s exploration of modern Middle Eastern cuisine at Zahav will begin dinner service every Thursday, starting on June 26th. There will be two different six-course menus: a Chef’s Tasting and a Vegetable Tasting.

Highlights include Sweetbreads with crispy chicken skin and tehina and Eggplant “Al Ha’esh” with sesame and almond puree. Sounds like at one side of the table will be grossed out by the other! The cost is $65 per person, $100 with wine pairings and seating is limited.
