"Ezov is a buzzy, upscale Mediterranean restaurant on East Cesar Chavez with a seasonal menu inspired by the Galilee region of northern Israel. It’s from the Canje/Hestia/Emmer & Rye team, and like all their spaces, there’s a focus on seasonality and local ingredients. Tel Aviv-inspired street art covers the hanging lanterns and walls, and there’s even graffiti on the walls with the lyrics to “Toxic” by Britney Spears, in Hebrew. Start with crudos and hummus, then get the DIY chicken shawarma and put your carving skills to the test." - nicolai mccrary, adele hazan, raphael brion
"Tel Aviv-inspired street art covers the walls of Ezov, and there’s “graffiti” with the lyrics to “Toxic” by Britney Spears in Hebrew. This is a buzzy upscale East Side restaurant with a seasonal menu of mostly northern Israeli and Mediterranean dishes. Start with crudos and silky smooth hummus, then get the DIY chicken shawarma and put your carving skills to the test." - matthew jacobs, nicolai mccrary
"Tel Aviv-inspired street art covers the walls and hanging lanterns of Ezov, and there’s “graffiti” with the lyrics to “Toxic” by Britney Spears in Hebrew. This is a buzzy and fun upscale East Side spot with a seasonal menu of mostly northern Israeli and Mediterranean dishes. Start with crudos and silky smooth hummus topped with whatever looked good in the garden that morning, then get the DIY chicken shawarma and put your carving skills to the test (don’t worry, it’s pretty hard to fail)." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs
"From the same group behind Emmer & Rye, Ezov is the East Side’s bold, stylish nod to Tel Aviv that is part Mediterranean bistro and part culinary playground. The menu plays with spices and textures, like seared octopus with black olive chermoula or a lamb fat butter dip. Order anything that comes with frena bread (the richer, fluffier cousin of pita). Inside, it’s sleek and buzzing, ideal for a night when dinner feels more like an event. Bonus: Impress your date by knowing the graffiti on the walls are the lyrics to Britney Spears’ “Toxic” in Hebrew. Place to-go orders online." - Darcie Duttweiler
"Feeling a little fancy? Israeli restaurant Ezov in Holly comes from the highly acclaimed Emmer & Rye Group and recently earned Michelin-recommended status. In the light and airy dining room, find a variety of veggie-friendly mezze and mains like smashed cucumber and labneh, falafel, and burrata with roasted carrots, or eat outside on the patio. Don’t miss dessert. For a nice date night in, online to-go ordering is available." - Erin Russell
