Zahav (from Hebrew: זהב zahav, lit. "gold") is an Israeli restaurant in Philadelphia founded in 2008. It is managed by head chef Michael Solomonov.[1][2][3]

History[edit]

Solomonov's preparation of hummus, which he dubbed "hummus tehina", served at Zahav.

Zahav received the James Beard Foundation Award for Outstanding Restaurant in 2019[4] and was listed as one of the 100 Best Wine Restaurants in the United States by Wine Enthusiast in 2015.[5]

Critics have called its pomegranate lamb shoulder with chickpeas its signature dish.[6][7]
