1. Zahav

    Israeli Middle Eastern

    The dining room hums with the precision of a place that has perfected its formula: everyone begins with the same small plates, then chooses between grilled skewers or the legendary lamb shoulder, brined and smoked until it yields without resistance. Zahav has sustained its pull since 2008 by doing one thing exceptionally well, and the devoted still book weeks ahead for the chance to taste it.
