Restaurant #15: Sabra (finally)


Finally. I found someone to go to "Sabra" with me. It was Todd, and he brought his friend Dave. It's located on Grant at the corner of Bush, just up from the Chinatown gate. **** (out of 5)

We climbed the long staircase up to Chinatown's only Glatt Kosher dining experience.

At the landing there's a bulletin board where you can leave messages for other travelers. Many of the flyers are in Hebrew.

The interior pays homage to traditional Chinatown restaurant decor with its crisp white walls and ceilings. The furniture is also nice. The walls are decorated with drawings of rabbis, paintings of Moses and old tourist posters of Israel. The stuff in the last sentence is not typical of other Chinatown restaurants.

We ordered the hummus plate appetizer which came with pita bread and pickles. Delicious. Our entrees came with salads, ingeniously made of iceberg lettuce, cabbage and diced tomatoes. The three of us ordered the exact same entree. I can't tell you what it was. It's not that I don't know what it was (it was chicken and rice) it's just that I want to pretend that I'm somehow not allowed to tell you what it was. Dig?
