Solomonov's flagship in Old City is widely considered the best Israeli restaurant in America, and it lives up to that. The four-course tasting menu starts with trays of hot laffa bread, six vegetable salads, and hummus so creamy it resets your expectations. Then comes the slow-roasted pomegranate lamb shoulder, lacquered and sticky and worth every bit of the hype. Reservations are hard to get, the room glows warm with golden light, and the whole thing feels like a genuinely special meal.
