Alongside four other home cooks, we prepared a delightful 30-minute meal that included turkey tenderloin, a salad of blistered tomatoes, basil, and burrata, as well as boiled potatoes seasoned with butter, basil, garlic, and mint. We sipped on wine and beer while enjoying stimulating conversations over our meal, making for a truly memorable afternoon. I picked up some valuable cooking techniques and fresh ideas—who knew mint could elevate potatoes so much?—and shared plenty of laughs. As someone who is a bit introverted, I appreciated Avi's laid-back demeanor, which helped put everyone at ease. I highly recommend taking the class, and I've already suggested the restaurant to others!

We had heard such great things about Simcha and were eager to try the Israeli cuisine in Sharon (we love Israeli food!). While the service was quick and friendly, the food unfortunately fell flat. The wedge salads were fantastic, but aside from that, most of the dishes lacked inspiration. The signature hummus was bland and overly whipped, and the baba was no better. The roasted cauliflower sounded promising, but it couldn't compare to Miznon's (or even my own recipe). The chicken shawarma and Yemenite fried chicken were just okay. Based on previous reviews, it seems we may have caught them on an off night. However, considering we drove 50 minutes in Friday evening traffic to get there, I regret to say we won't be returning anytime soon.

We thoroughly enjoyed all the dishes from the special group menu. The cost was $50 per person, including taxes and tips, but I anticipate prices may increase in 2022 and beyond. The restaurant owner was very friendly and took the time to introduce each dish to us. He also had cookbooks available for sale and gladly signed them for anyone who requested.

Our waiter was very informative and provided recommendations. We will definitely return!

Good for GF, Vegans and people like me who like good food any way you make it. Wish they sold the fried chicken in buckets. Holy ****! Wings too.
