We visited Kepshuto for the first time last night and we had a ball. First, the atmosphere is fun and festive. All the staff were so sweet. Lots of families, children, and excitement over the food to come. We do not eat meat, and had quite a lot to choose from. We ended up ordering the falafel platter and the sabich hummus bowl. The falafel were the melt in your mouth, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside type that are very typical for Israelis style falafels but so hard to find around these parts. So yummy. We ordered hummus, carrot salad, coleslaw and fried eggplant. All were fresh and great, but the eggplant was the star. Our sauces included green and red schug, tahini, and Amba. All were delicious. The eggplant prompted us to order the sabich, as we wanted more! This dish was epic. Hot steamed potatoes on top of hummus, fried eggplant....yum! The pita was also perfect for dipping. Can't wait to return.
