Description
Chef Michael Solomonov takes his birthright to heart. Born in Israel, raised in Pittsburg, it wasnt until his late teens that Michael returned to his homeland and his inner cuisine spoke to him. He didnt speak Hebrew, so he learned to bake burekas (spinach pies) innately. Eventually making way to Philly, Michael opened Zahav restaurant, his ode to modern Israeli food. Plentiful of hummus, mezzes, and kebabs, all inclusive of the Mesibah (Party Time), which highlights a whole roast lamb shoulder, grilled over coals, braised in pomegranate juice, and served with crispy Persian rice. Michael finally found a way to celebrate his place in the world. Thanks to our sponsor, Whole Foods.
