 Does anyone have recommendations for kosher restaurants in the area?
 Yaakov's in Squirrel Hill has been pretty good the couple times I've
 been there; what else is out there?

 Yaakov's serves assorted middle-eastern food (non-meat); the falafel
 balls and spinach pies are particularly good in my opinion.  They're
 located on Murray just south of Hobart.

 Asked a friend that keep Kosher,  and as surprising as it may seem, there
 really only 2 Kosher restaurants in Squrrel Hill, Yakov's and King David
 International Cuisine (one block up Murray).  Kign David serves Chinese and
 a few other meat dishes.

 Many of the other delis on Murray, which seem Kosher style, are in fact not
 kosher.

 I too really liked the falafel at Yakov's - have had it a couple times,
 icluding once on a "everything pizza.  As an appetizer, I had a few
 different types of burekas (a fried pastry philo bread - fillings are
 mushroom, spinach, or potato).

 Cheers,

 King David is TERRIBLE...the 'vegetables' in the different dishes (that I have
 tried) were frozen mixed vegetables (of the peas and carrots variety)...NO
 flavor...
