tenders very good – for dessert home made halvah which was excellent

hello all, just checked out Turquoise Grill (Amsterdam Ave between 122 and 123) for the first time last night on a recommendation from an Israeli friend of mine. she gave the food (esp. pita, shwarma, schnitzel, and halvah ice...

looked fresh, and none were prepackaged. I tried the pistachio halvah-kulfi. Very fresh, and cut from a deep-dish round pan, it looked like regular halvah, albeit flatter. Yum! As the name implies, it’s halvah made with...

. And the bread was made in house, dense homestyle Greek bread, quite different from the type Greek bakeries sell. Good service, great portion sizes. Free halvah and melon at the end of the meal.

Got a hankering. Thinking about Blue Ribbon Bakery bread pudding, but $11 is a little steep. Any suggestions? Too cold to walk very far from Mercer/W. 3rd.

Enjoyed the vegetarian buffet at Bombay Sweets on Hillcroft several weeks ago. The bakery and retail sweets area looked really good but had no idea what to order, except halvah. Does anybody have experience or expertise on this?...

Yes, they’re good. On Rivington, near Allen, I think. Delicious fresh halvah.... Halvah is even better at a little place on Christie near Essex whose name I’ve forgotten. They also sell inexpensive and very fresh...

or saffron-like drizzle. If you’re hankering for a tongue or calf’s brain sandwich, this is your place (though I’ll pass). Next door is the deli, with produce, dried fruits, nuts, pastry, spices, frozen foods,...

Bitar’s in South Philly does nice catered trays, and they have excellent grilled falafel, and all the trimmin’s. Especially good halvah, labneh, and pita with zaatar spice. Thank you.
