Over-rated at best 8/26/2002

Zaftigs offers authentic jewish food... authentic to my very own grandmother's cooking... limp, overcooked and flavorless. The latke's are mushy and oily. The matzo-ball soup is greasy. The briskit is limp and flavorless, covered by gravy that tastes like it's from a jar but has been burnt enough to make it seem home-made. I've never had a good experience here. Pros: Well Located Cons: Bad, Over-rated, Weak more

Classic 6/15/2002

The matzoh ball soup is good, not as good as Aunt Elaine's, but good. It is hard to find get seated here because everyone knows that Zaftigs is excellent. The ambience is really nice, as is the waitstaff. more

Must-try on Harvard Ave. 5/14/2002

If you've ever been down Harvard Ave. on a Saturday or a Sunday morning, you've surely seen the crowds waiting patiently outside of Zaftigs. Waiting an hour is not unheard of, but the wait is oh-so-worth it. Tip: send one member of your party to get your name on the list, then he or she can browse the nearby shops and you can all meet outside when the table is ready. I've never been disappointed by my breakfast, but my favorites are the Macintosh apple and sharp cheddar cheese omelet and then the banana stuffed French toast. more
