| - So after three days in Vegas for recent trade show I finally hit the bad hotel food, steak dinner, fast food & anything on the strip, wall. I needed some, no make that, craved something unique & off the beaten path so when an old industry friend offered to take me & our other salesman out to dinner, I was all over it.
Having never really had much experience with kosher food aside from a Hebrew National frank & some macaroons I was a definite neophyte in this regard. The restaurant itself is actually a Glatt style kosher restaurant, which is essentially follows the strictest laws of the kosher standard. The menu follows what are considered traditional Hebrew & Mediterranean cuisine most of them you've heard of like shawarma, falafel, kabobs & pita based wraps. The meal starts out with platters of salads & toppings for the pita breads. Baba Ganoush, red & white cabbage, a Moroccan salad made with cucumber, tomatoe, red onion & spices, an awesome spicy eggplant relish & some& other tasty stuff.
We all had different entree's so I had a chance to try some of everything & everything simply rocked! The falafel was smaller than I'm used to but extra crispy & then creamy on the inside. The kabobs were made with some of the tastiest, juiciest meat I've had in some time, was seasoned perfectly & BBQ'd to perfection. The chicken shawarma, simply epic. I could eat one of their chicken shawarma laffa sandwiches (aka burrito) every day & never get tired of it. The fish balls were tender & tasty & the rib-eye, freaking unreal!
You can tell it's authentic kosher food just by their regulars on hand. The jewish community in N. Vegas flock to this place & finding a table wasn't easy. So it's a little of the beaten path (15 minutes from the strip) a total hole in the wall, kinda slow service & the (almost) deal killer...NO beer, wine or other alcohol served there. (hello to-go order) That aside I could put up with that a dozen times over again, the food is that good. Beer & wine would have made it a perfect 5 star rating.
