Eastern European, Belgian, Main Line

We guess citywide domination wasn’t quite enough for Michael Solomonov and Steven Cook, who expanded out to the Main Line for their latest venture, a glatt kosher restaurant and catering outlet. The kitchen is headed up by Yehuda Sichel, formerly a sous chef at Zahav. While flavors and ingredients are reminiscent of the deli, expect presentations and atmosphere that are decidedly more refined. Salmon gravlax is crusted in “everything” topping and served atop a sliver of smoked bagel as a delicate starter; challah French toast becomes a fanciful dessert. Mains skew meaty and feature supremely comforting elements like kugel and schmaltzy potatoes.
