Simcha

Make no mistake about it, although the owner may not be a good restaurant manager or price his cuisine properly, he is a very innovative and talented chef. This is the 3rd review of a restaurant owned by the same person who owns Chubby Chickpea and A La Esh (see my reviews for both). We got the Yemeni fried chicken as an entree ($22) and pumpkin babaganouj, fried brussel sprouts, and Dukkah beets as apps. Food quality? except for the Yemeni fried chicken which was a little dry, it was excellent. I also thought the chicken was significantly overpriced for what you got. So did the wife. The appetizers were a little more appropriately priced. Except, the Dukkah beets. Take a look at my photo and judge for yourself. It looks like they ran low on beets, but still decided to serve them anyway - in a much smaller portion. Coincidentally, they did the same thing with another dish at A La Esh, another restaurant they own. It would not have affected my rating if they simply said to me the appetizer was unavailable, or that they were short on beets and therefore wouldn't recommend the Dukkah beets. I overlooked this mistake once at A La Esh, but if you do it a second time it looks like a pattern. Again, talented, innovative chef - not so talented restaurant manager. If they had said they ran out of Dukkah beets and priced the food a little more appropriately, you would see five stars on the top line instead of three.

Ordered takeout for the first time. Moroccan carrots only tasted like salt, no tahini or honey. Roasted cauliflower was mushy. Pita with a small portion of whipped feta tasted like raw dough. Very overpriced for the quality

This was our first time here and I am sad that I have missed years of eating here. Amazing !!! I love tapas. We shared 5 dishes plus dessert and brought leftovers home. Great service, waitstaff is super attentive. All the dishes were great. We had the white bean hummus, it was great. We had the shukshaka which was also good. We had the beets which were perfectly seasoned. The chicken wings were vanilla bourbon and were literally (I mean literally) the best wings I have ever had. The carrots were a scrumptious side dish and I don't have enough space to describe the Double Chocolate Skillet cookie with sorbet......... I will be back soon !!!. Try it out.

Had a fantastic dinner at Simcha tonight. Five of us shared a few small plates and a couple of entrees and everything was delicious. We had Carrots, beets, Hummus, cauliflower, Salmon and Israeli wine and everything was outstanding. Service was great as well. We will definitely be going back regularly.

Not that good but it's the only have way decent restaurant in town. The meat was chewy and I had to continue to cook it myself. And the sides just look weird. Like most restaurants in Sharon, it's just off somehow.Hi Avi, I appreciate you taking the time to respond. I definitely agree with you about Wards. But I think Crescent Ridge is over rated and Sharon has never been able to develop a downtown or similar, there's no critical mass and no reason to visit like most other downtowns in the area such as Canton. Walpole, Norwood, and more. I think the new Sharon Crossing will add a few more options.

Ordered the large group platter last weekend, along with a few sides for good measure. The platter was arranged very nicely, with great presentation. All the food was really delicious and the flavors were vibrant. Loved the eggplant, carrots, and the fried chicken! Hummus was delicious and perfectly dip-able.When I went inside to pick up the order, the staff were extremely friendly, and they even included a complimentary bottle of red wine with the order. It's very refreshing to have a restaurant serving up something different in this neck of the woods!

For the Holidays, I received the gift of a cooking class with Avi - the chef/owner of Simcha. A class of 5 home cooks, we made a 30 minute meal (turkey tenderloin, blistered tomato, basil, & burrata salad, boiled potatoes w/butter, basil, garlic, mint). We enjoyed a glass of wine/beer and great discussion as we ate our meal. Truly a memorable afternoon. I learned some techniques, fresh ideas (mint on potatoes!), and laughed often. Being a little bit introverted, Avi was chill and made us all comfortable. Highly recommend the class (already recommended the restaurant)!

It breaks my heart to write such a bad review but they totally earned it. Had the yemenite fried chicken, roasted cauliflower and lamb shishlik. They were just miserable. The fried chicken was inedible. We'd hoped that this was some one off and that the owner wasn't cooking that day but that was not the case.Sorry, but we won't go there again.

Got takeout from here - the fried Brussels sprouts were pretty good but nothing amazing. The okra was a small portion for the price and also possibly taking out was not a great idea for something like that which would likely taste better fresh at the restaurant. The chicken schnitzel was a real disappointment as the chicken was dry and tasteless. Will likely try again one day given the small number of options in these towns.

Amazing food with a continuously changed menu. The service is great. It is a cozy environment, so make reservations!
