Pomegranate Restaurant Opens in Queens

Pomegranate, the elegant Glatt Kosher restaurant opened this month at 71-51 Yellowstone Blvd. in Forest Hills, NY. The restaurant serves Bukharian cuisine under the supervision of Vaad Hakashrus of Queens. About 50,000 Bukharian Jews, coming from Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, now live in the US, with the largest community having settled in Queens.

Pomegranate's menu features many Bukharian and Middle Eastern specialties, from a large variety of Kebabs to such distinctly Bukharian appetizers as Manti (steamed dumplings), Samsa (Fried pastry with a meat filling), Achik-Chuck salad (made of spiced tomatoes and red onions), and Shurpa soup (cubed lamb in a rich, hardy broth).

Blue Star BBQ to Open in Rockville, MD in January

Kosher diners in the Greater DC area will soon enjoy more variety, as the owner of the popular Eli's Restaurant in Washington, DC is now opening Blue Star BBQ in Rockville, MD. "It's a combination of a lot of places," owner Sina Soumekhian tells the blog, Kosher Nexus. "We're trying to combine barbecue flavors with different kinds of hamburgers and sliced beef, all combined into one venue." Some of the Texas-inspired menu items will include standouts like pulled brisket tacos, barbecue brisket and burger sliders, veggie-stuffed turkey burgers, sliced meat sandwiches and combination platters with two or three meats and sides including baked beans, corn on the cob, cornbread, grilled pineapple and guacamole. Blue Star will also serve salads, soups and desserts courtesy of Sunflower Bakery in Gaithersburg. Blue Star's location is that of the old Siena's, a kosher staple in Rockville that Soumekhian used to own, which recently moved to Twinbrook Parkway after news broke that the building where it was located would be torn down. Soumekhian says he was able to work out a three-year extension with the property owners, but plans on moving Blue Star to a more permanent location if it's successful. The restaurant will provide dine-in seating and carry out. "We're hoping to bring authentic flavors of Texas barbecue into the area and put brisket on the map." Blue Star will serve lunch and dinner from 11am to 9pm, Sunday through Thursday, 11am to 3pm, Fridays and will be closed Saturdays.
