I've tried to make it at home too but it always tastes a bit off; sometimes it is not soft enough, and other times the flavor isn't quite there. One of my friends dropped off this loaf, so freshly baked the loaf was still a little warm and minute beads of condensation were forming on the top of the bread bag. This challah was fantastic. The bread was so tender, the taste rich, and the outside perfectly browned. Thanks to The Challah Factory my toddler is now officially addicted to challah.

Welcomed in, first thing that got me distracted was the incredibly large selection of Mediterranean and European groceries available. Everything from Turkish Delight, Turkish Coffee (special pots included), candy, cookies, rows of spices, canned goods, olives, dolmas, oils, teas, endless.... From there I remembered i was hungry and made my way to the counter to order. That particular day i was hungry, so I ordered the Shawarma Combo chicken and beef with salad, great tasting rice, huge amount of hummus and pita. So much food. Whilst waiting, this allowed me time to stock up on spicies, canned dolmas, Turkish Coffee and some other fun stuff to experiment cooking. Food was delivered to the table and such a feast. Staff were friendly and very helpful at navigating the menu and checking for allergies.

Lo and behold, the inside of the restaurant is a barren mess and looks as divey as the parking lot. There was just a worker organizing some dead meat in the middle of the restaurant and listening to very loud music. I stood around expecting someone would service me. After awhile, someone came out and I told them I wanted to order to-go since it was clear they didn't bother setting up any tables. It was then she told me that they don't do to-go and that they can cater. I looked at the menu and it's a normal sit-down type of restaurant menu. Overall, a very peculiar and horrible experience. With how shanty and extremely shady this place is, I came out alive so I guess that's good.

The restaurant's ambiance…read moreis as bare-bones as you can get-a hole-in-the-wall located in a strip mall, with no decorations other than mirrors on the wall. To get attention for service, we had to ring a bell at the front desk three times and we had to ask multiple times about our soup. However, our other two dishes came out extremely quickly and the restaurant made it up to us by giving us an extra soup, which I appreciated. My friend and I shared the samsas, pilav, and the laghman soup. The samsas were extremely disappointing-the meat was tough and needed more flavor. The pilav was the best dish we had-the rice was cooked perfectly and seasoned well, although the meat could have used more flavor and there could have been a better rice-to-meat ratio (the pilav was about 90 percent rice). The laghman soup was OK, although nothing special-the noodles did not look hand-pulled or made as is traditional with this soup. The medley of foods on the menu was interesting, especially for a kosher restaurant, but ultimately fell short.
