Review of Zaftigs

This is a go to of mine in Coolidge corner with it...

This is a go to of mine in Coolidge corner with its solid Jewish offerings. It's always busy at brunch and lunch time so expect a wait. The matzo ball soup is delicious and latkes are as big as hockey pucks. The half sour pickles that accompany large deli sandwiches are reminiscent of NYC delis. It's not strictly kosher and if you're in love with your own Jewish family recipes, you may be disappointed, but if approximation is good enough you'll leave full and happy. I love the kasha varnishkes as they can be hard to find around town. Everything is delicious, service is prompt and the place is bustling with energy. The prices are a little high but it's worth it.
