I had a good experience. We did the tasting menu and I did not get sick. They brought substitutions. The service was great but it was very expensive ($240 for two people).

We visited the new backyard patio, which is a la carte instead of a set menu. The server pointed out options that would be safe for me and offered to bring cucumbers for dipping with hummus rather than pita.

Had an amazing experience at Zahav! As a 5 course tasting menu that gets rave reviews, I could eat 90% without substitutions, even the dessert! The whole waitstaff was extremely conscious of cross contamination (got my own hummus). We had an fantastic time & highly recommend the food & experience!

Had one of the best allergen friendly experiences at Zahav! It is a 5 course tasting menu and I admittedly worried that I would be limited based on my allergies (gluten, dairy and nuts) but the team went above and beyond to accommodate! If I couldn’t eat what was on the table, they brought out an option that was safe for me. They were extremely conscious of cross contamination (got my own hummus) and brought out my food separately. Plus the food was INCREDIBLE.

Super accommodating for celiac including separate hummus bowls for my partner and me so I wouldn’t be dipping my veggies where he dipped his bread. Chef’s tasting menu gave me pause as I can’t control what’s in that but it wasn’t a problem! Anything that had gluten was swapped out and prepared separately. Fearless dining! It was great.

Completely amazing experience! I felt seriously taken care of (and not like a pain). They only had to make a few modifications for gf and we weren’t even charged for the duplicate plates (mine gf, my husband’s normal). It was such a treat to be able to eat almost everything in a 5-6 course (I lost track) meal and feel confident that they were taking Celiac seriously. I highly recommend for a fancy night out.
