Had another decent, if again inconsistent meal from here recently. The matzoh ball soup was tasty, again, but the chicken slightly chewy this time. It was cut into small enough pieces, though, that this was not a huge issue. Their version of a knish (filled with ground turkey) was more like a meat-filled pastry than a potato-forward knish, but very tasty. The sweet potato hummus was little too sweet for my tastes, but the markouk bread it came with was excellent. (This is a bread where the dough is rolled very thin and cooked on a convex pan – bulging up. Sofra used to make these in plain sight for a while, but I think they do not any more, although I may misremember this. The bread is called different things in different places. In India it’s called rumali roti and is stretched to its final thinness by a twirl in the air, rather like pizza.)
We also split a pastrami sandwich. It’s about 80% the price of a Katz’s sandwich, but only about 60% (as an estimate) the size. This time the meat was on the dry side, unfortunately.
