Chicken Tenders
Matthew L.

Ladle & Loaf is a Kosher Mediterranean Fusion restaurant that opened in New Haven, Connecticut in January 2021. It was founded by husband and wife Benny and Ephrat Lieblich. After completing his training at culinary school, Benny spent the next several years learning the ins and outs of the food service industry. He also began catering kosher food at various private events. In 2014, Benny and Ephrat launched 'The Gusto Kitchen' out of a little kitchen in Brooklyn. What started out as catering private events turned into unique gourmet sandwiches. Seeking a better place to raise their family, the Lieblichs later relocated to New Haven. After securing a new restaurant location, the pandemic broke out and the couple hit a number of obstacles. They persevered and finally brought their culinary vision to the Elm City. The menu at Ladle & Loaf features several street food dishes inspired by flavors from the Middle East, North Africa, and India. My family and I recently stopped at Ladle & Loaf to order takeout. We were heading to a picnic and thought that we would try them out as we had heard good things. The interior of the restaurant was charming and the staff were friendly and helpful. My wife and I ordered and shared the "Falafel" (fried chickpea fritters in a pita with Israeli salad, pickles and tahini) and the "Shawarma" (chicken shawarma with hummus, fried eggplant, Israeli salad, pickled onion and amba in a pita). They were SO GOOD! We loved the blend of spices and the vegetables all tasted so fresh. My wife said that the sandwiches brought back memories of her time in Israel. We also ordered some "Chicken Tenders" and "Fries" for our son to nosh on; he was very happy. We are happy to have discovered Ladle & Loaf and we look forward to eating their delicious food again!

They were all good, although we found the falafel a bit on the hard side.

I've been eating at Claire's since 1977.. when my mother(not vegetarian at the time) was pregnant…read morewith me she ate here religiously on her lunch breaks. I swear that's why I've always loved tofu! And I'm mostly vegan now the past 28 years, and my mother the past 12. This place is a staple in New Haven and testament to their good food for staying open all these years. When Claire's first opened vegetarian restaurants weren't a thing, and over the years the menu has shifted.. but it's always good. For me it's home cooking style, comfort food.. they have their own style. This place was around before everyone was freaking out about carbs.. thank god! I never leave without a cookie and a muffin for later.. they're the best! I recently got hooked on the Sunbuttter cookie, and also enjoy the Lithuanian coffee cake muffin. Soups and salads come with the classic Claire mini loaf! A delicious buttery(is it vegan? don't know) mini loaf of bread, just as tasty as I remember it from my childhood. Their oat milk Matcha Lattes are creamy and they don't slack on the matcha. The service is always friendly and helpful. The menu accommodates vegetarians, vegans, and gluten free options as well. enjoy!

A nice coffee/tes shop which offers a nice menu for breakfast/lunch/dinner. It is located at a…read moregreat spot where everything and everyone passes by. I had a latte and it was perfect. A nice spot to grab a bite.
