jerusalem grill - turkey, chicken hearts, onions, tehina, pickles
Really good, the turkey and chicken were extremely tender, could have used a bit less pickles.
sabich - fried eggplant, haminado egg, chopped salad, amba, tehina
The best fucking non-meat sandwich I’ve had in a long time. Loved everything in this especially the crispy eggplant and perfectly creamy egg balanced with the freshness of the salad. @TheCookie, @Chowseeker1999, @Bookwich
I can’t remember if it was at the Now Serving event or on Good Food but someone asked him what Israeli dish he would recommend that’s not as ubiquitous as falafel et al and he brought up sabich. Would love to try his version.
I liked the sabich at Dune a lot. It’s been some time since I’ve had it, but I remember there being some untraditional elements to it. Still, it’s delicious and they have a house made amba that’s nice.
Bavel’s pita is softer, fluffier and more absorbent, merkaz/dizengoff’s is thinner, more dense and sturdier. Kind of like a terry cloth vs waffle knit bathrobe.
Did you travel to Philly for this? Hehe…
