| - One thing I learn about Kosher food is that it is exceedingly pricey. And it makes me wonder why is kosher meat way more expensive than non-kosher meat. While dining in, I had an opportunity to speak to the manager Aviva and learn a great deal about how to distinguish Kosher meat while also gaining some knowledge about Parve food.
The reason why kosher meat is more expensive is that in Jewish Law, they follow specific criteria how an animal is slaughtered. In order for the meat to be kosher, the animal must be healthy, must not have any disease, punctured wounds, or broken bones. This information in itself gave me assurance that the meat I'm consuming is from a healthy animal.
Next I ask what is it that makes Parve food so different. In Jewish Law, they cannot cook or consume meat together with dairy. However with Parve food, since it has no dairy and no meat, it can be eaten with either meat or dairy. It is a little confusing to understand, but I can see why it is important to consume good quality and clean food.
I begin my order with a Limonana Slushie ($5) which is a house blended lemonade with fresh mint leaves, and this drink taste light and it's so refreshing. I went for the Matzaball Soup ($9) which is a Jewish soup dumpling made from a mixture of matzah meal, eggs, water, and oil. The soup is serve hot and it comes with two homemade Matzaballs that are slow cooked in a savory chicken broth, and it has soft vegetables like carrots, onions, red bell pepper, zucchini, celery, and pumpkin. I like the soup and I can taste the flavor, I just wish I had more than two Matzaballs.
For entrée, I chose the Hummus & Shawarma ($15) which is serve with thin strips of slow roasted chicken, Jerusalem hummus, and two freshly baked pita bread. The pita bread is thick and it's sourced from a vendor that makes real pita bread like in Jerusalem. The strips of chicken are tender and well-seasoned. The Jerusalem hummus has a pronounce taste of tahini flavor and it's garnish with cooked chickpeas, onions, bell pepper, paprika, and parsley. I like the hummus, it is very filling especially when it's eaten with pita bread. I wanted to save room for dessert so I had the rest of my meal packed to-go.
Now there isn't a dessert list on the menu, it's something you would have to ask and inquire what they have available. I chose Parve Triple Chocolate Fudge Cake ($12) and given how there is no dairy, the cake does taste very light but I wish they had put more chocolate flavor to give this dessert a little more oomph. The interior restaurant looks modern and high end, there is good music in the background, they have TV for entertainment, and the service is exceptionally friendly. One important tip is if you are a local resident, you get a local discount on your meal.
