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, -Matt

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...
