Passover, or Pesach, is the Jewish festival commemorating the emancipation of Israelite slaves in Egypt. As with most holidays, there’s a special place for food within the celebration. Whether you’re looking for a place to dine out this Passover or want to host a family dinner this year but can’t cook a brisket without burning it into cinders, check out these local restaurants offering Passover meals and goodies.
- Head to any Valley Chompie’s location Monday and Tuesday for a Passover dinner of chicken, brisket, turkey or salmon, appetizer, soup, sides and dessert. Cost is $30 adults, including wine; $15 children under 10. Visit Chompies.com for more info.
- For a certified Kosher takeout meal, stop by Segal’s at 4818 N. 7th St. in Phoenix and score beef brisket, turkey breast, soup, vegetable and potato kugel.
- A Cuban restaurant seems like an unlikely place for a Seder, but Havana Patio Cafe at 6245 E. Bell Rd. in Scottsdale continues their annual Passover Dinner tradition at 6 p.m. this Monday. For $50, you’ll get lamb, brisket, matzoh ball soup and desserts. Reservations are required; visit www.havanacafe-az.com.
- Sprinkles at 4501 N. Scottsdale Rd. in Scottsdale has flourless chocolate cupcakes topped with a Star of David for Passover. Pick up a dozen and impress your family.
Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $17,250 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
