Someone mentioned G&G - Was that establishment ever actually kosher?

I recall a place called Jerusalem Cafe–across from The Butcherie in the mid-late 90s–but I don’t remember House of Kabob. You may be right.

Come to think of it, “House of Kabob” and “Jerusalem Cafe” may have been the same place. (I think the sign said “Jerusalem Cafe: House of Kabob,” but in high school, we only ever referred to it as House of Kabob. Jabbet might remember this?)

Anyway, it was either in the location where Taam China is now or somewhere close to there, in the mid-90s.

I believe the restaurant in Sharon was called King David’s, not David’s Table. Also, I think Dershowitz’s restaurant in Cambridge (open for a few months in 1988) was called the Maven’s Court (or perhaps Maven’s Kosher Court).

What was House of Kabob, and where was it? When?

And one more from about 30 years ago on Harvard St. - Harolds.

Ok, now who can post photos of some of these places?

Lance, how can you forget about House of Kabob?

(And from the present, Ruth’s Bakery and Deja Vu/Shalom Tel Aviv, both in Stoughton.)

Zaatar’s failure still mystifies me.
