Straightforward, basic restaurant keyed into the local Jewish community but has turned others into regulars—Koreans from the 'hood, even—with its varied menu that incorporates East European cooking with a taste from home. Choose from gefilte fish to hummus, but sweet tooths come directly for its reputable caramel pudding. If time is precious, grab nosh for takeaway from the deli side of the restaurant, which has tables balanced right on the perimeter, regrettably prone to dust and gawking from passers-by. A hanging menu outside below a dining room window on the opposite side doesn't have photos, but its position allows for a look at the real idea of what's on plates.
