New Name Contest for Sarit's Cuisine and Grill in Brooklyn
Marani, a one-of-a-kind restaurant which opened at 97-26 63rd Rd. in Rego Park a few months ago, is offering kosher foodies an opportunity to enjoy authentic Georgian cooking. Georgia is a country on the crossroads of Western Asia and Eastern Europe, with a cuisine slightly differing from others in the Caucasus region - for example, it uses a lot walnuts and pomegranate to create some of its signature flavors. While offering plenty of meat choices from a range of kebabs to such specialty dishes like Chakapuli (lamb braised with tarragon, mint and olives), Marani's menu has enough to satisfy the vegetarians as well with its extensive variety of vegetable-based appetizers. While the main restaurant is meat, they have a basement section with an open dairy kitchen and a small seating area, serving a selection of Khachapuri - traditional Georgian dish of cheese-filled bread. The glatt kosher, Shomer Shabbos restaurant is under the supervision of SKO-USA (Rabbi Aharon Chein).
Update on Dairy Restaurant in Philadelphia Suburb
After purchasing a building at 321 Montgomery Ave in Narbeth, PA to house the Dairy Restaurant (a dairy sister of the upscaleCitron & Rose) last summer, the owners started renovating it, with plans to open the location in a few months. However, as they started the work, they found out that nothing supports the roof, so they ended up stripping the old farmhouse almost to the bones and are now undertaking a complete remodeling job. Meanwhile, their dairy catering business has been operating for over a year through Six Points Events.
