Was Anonym at Simcha a mag?

In the fall of 2021, a large group of 18 gathered at this restaurant one afternoon. We were treated to excellent food and service, inspired by Israeli cuisine. We indulged in all the dishes offered on the special group menu, and the total cost was $50 per person, which included the meal, taxes, and tips.

What Jonathan S dislikes about Simcha:

Wow, what a letdown. 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 sounde... View all feedback.

I had the pleasure of dining outdoors with a large group in the autumn of 2021. The food and service were exceptional, featuring Israeli-inspired cuisine. 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.

Absolutely delicious food! We saw them on Phantom and decided to stop and and try. Everything we had was so flavorful and the portions are large! Our waiter was very informative and provided recommendations. We will definitely return!

Accidentally deleted my recommendation. I am sure it was the same though. This place is so good. 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.

For the holidays, I was gifted a cooking class with Avi, the chef and owner of Simcha. 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!

Wow, what a letdown. 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.

Simcha in Sharon is a small, Israeli-inspired restaurant serving generous portions of bold, eclectic flavors. Standouts include wedge salad, roasted cauliflower, pumpkin baba ganoush and dip-ready hummus; fried chicken and group platters are crowd-pleasers. Friendly, attentive service, owner-hosted cooking classes and signed cookbooks add charm, while a cozy, intimate atmosphere suits groups and casual date nights. Quality can be inconsistent—some dishes feel uninspired or overly smoky—making Simcha a rewarding but occasionally uneven dining destination.

What a lovely little restaurant! The cauliflower dish was excellent, and the pumpkin baba ganoush was a unique touch on the plate. The hummus was also very tasty. The service was good, particularly during the busy times.

The food was absolutely delicious! We discovered this restaurant while watching Phantom and decided to give it a try. Everything we ordered was incredibly tasty, and the portions were generous! Our waiter was very knowledgeable and offered great recommendations. We will definitely be back!

A truly unique restaurant. Food and beverages were incredible and even better to know that they work with local farms. Very recommended!

OMG! I had to stop my dinner to write this review! Amazing food! Amazing drinks! Amazing service!
