Zahav received the James Beard Foundation Award for Outstanding Restaurant in 2019 [4] and was listed as one of the 100 Best Wine Restaurants in the United States by Wine Enthusiast in 2015. [5]

Zahav's pomegranate lamb shoulder with chickpeas is regarded as the restaurant's signature dish. [6] [7] It was created in 2006 and is loosely based off of another signature dish, the bossam from David Chang's Momofuku Ssam Bar. [8]
