Philadelphia: Zahav
Can hummus be haute? Yes, in this laid-back Jerusalem-stone room, where chef Michael Solomonov brilliantly reinterprets Israeli street food. Zero in on the meze—say, Sephardic minted-leek fritters with sheep’s cheese and honey, or kibbe naya, a Middle Eastern lamb-and-bulgur tartare scented with allspice. Dinner for two $68.
