This is one of my favorite restaurants in the world.
As you know, one of my pet peeves is a restaurant that claims to have vegetarian options, only to have just one frozen pasta primavera with horrible cream sauce that tastes like canned cream of mushroom soup. The truth is, I have virtually stopped bothering accompanying my omnivore companions to such establishments. Eating in restaurants is expensive. I am not socially needy enough to tolerate a terrible, expensive meal just to be in the company of others. Restaurants could easily have a meat-free unique item or two. It's not hard. You're chefs and restauranteurs--act like it. You're losing 10% of your potential customer base if you don't--plus their companions, potentially.
So anyway, enough of that.
King David's has many delicious options to choose from, served hot, quickly and with a smile. The prices are very reasonable as well. My favorites include eggplant fries, sweet potato fries, eggplant pita, falafel platter, hummus, and portobello pita. All very delicious--none seem frozen or premade. I can't even choose a favorite among them.
My omnivore husband is quite happy with his meat-based options as well.
They serve local beers. I am not a big connoisseur of beer, but I do like the Syracuse Pale Ale.
The decor and music are modern and ethnic, giving you the feeling of escape to a place far away. Let me reiterate the service--it is fast. I am pretty shocked they can crank out a dinner for two in what seems to be 5-10 minutes. The staff is friendly but not intrusive. Everyone greets you as you walk by, welcoming you in or thanking you as you're leaving.
Clearly the owners and managers are highly skilled and know how to run a business.
