This well-worn, well-loved cafe serves Israeli fare as well as the diaspora’s best hits. Everybody’s here for a taste of home, be they from Tel Aviv, Manhattan, or St. Petersburg. Start with matzo ball soup, the big sinkers enriched with schmaltz, continue with chicken-filled kreplach, and then dive in to a platter of Israeli salads, freshly made falafel, and lamb shawarma. If you order Holy Land’s halvah for dessert, you may find yourself loving the stuff for the very first time.
