For the holidays, I was gifted a cooking class with Avi, the chef and owner of Simcha. Alongside four other home cooks, we prepared a delightful 30-minute meal that included turkey tenderloin, a salad of blistered tomatoes, basil, and burrata, as well as boiled potatoes seasoned with butter, basil, garlic, and mint. We sipped on wine and beer while enjoying stimulating conversations over our meal, making for a truly memorable afternoon. I picked up some valuable cooking techniques and fresh ideas—who knew mint could elevate potatoes so much?—and shared plenty of laughs. As someone who is a bit introverted, I appreciated Avi's laid-back demeanor, which helped put everyone at ease. I highly re...
Wow, what a letdown. We had heard such great things about Simcha and were eager to try the Israeli cuisine in Sharon (we love Israeli food!). While the service was quick and friendly, the food unfortunately fell flat. The wedge salads were fantastic, but aside from that, most of the dishes lacked inspiration. The signature hummus was bland and overly whipped, and the baba was no better. The roasted cauliflower sounded promising, but it couldn't compare to Miznon's (or even my own recipe). The chicken shawarma and Yemenite fried chicken were just okay. Based on previous reviews, it seems we may have caught them on an off night. However, considering we drove 50 minutes in Friday evening traffi...
Ordered the large group platter last weekend, along with a few sides for good measure. The platter was arranged very nicely, with great presentation. All the food was really delicious and the flavors were vibrant. Loved the eggplant, carrots, and the fried chicken! Hummus was delicious and perfectly dip-able. When I went inside to pick up the order, the staff were extremely friendly, and they even included a complimentary bottle of red wine with the order. It's very refreshing to have a restaurant serving up something different in this neck of the woods!
I had the pleasure of dining outdoors with a large group in the autumn of 2021. The food and service were exceptional, featuring Israeli-inspired cuisine. We thoroughly enjoyed all the dishes from the special group menu. The cost was $50 per person, including taxes and tips, but I anticipate prices may increase in 2022 and beyond. The restaurant owner was very friendly and took the time to introduce each dish to us. He also had cookbooks available for sale and gladly signed them for anyone who requested.

Accidentally deleted my recommendation. I am sure it was the same though. This place is so good. Good for GF, Vegans and people like me who like good food any way you make it. Wish they sold the fried chicken in buckets. Holy ****! Wings too.
Absolutely delicious food! We saw them on Phantom and decided to stop and and try. Everything we had was so flavorful and the portions are large! Our waiter was very informative and provided recommendations. We will definitely return!
What a lovely little restaurant! The cauliflower dish was excellent, and the pumpkin baba ganoush was a unique touch on the plate. The hummus was also very tasty. The service was good, particularly during the busy times.
Ordered the beef brisket and fried chicken to go. Wasn't impressed . The brisket was very Smokey (like I just smoked a pack and was extremely chewy . Not wowed by the nearly $30 after tax and tips fried chicken either.

Small and intimate. Food was beyond amazing. Love the smaller menu sometimes places that offer too many choices aren't great. You have your recipes down and it's perfect!
Fabulous cook and owner Avi is very particular on his menu. Recommend his tacos FANTASTIC.
