And your Jewish mother will kvell over the brisket even if she doesn't take to tray offerings such as pork sausages and smoked ham. Kosher, this is not. In fact, what has made this 'new Jewish'-style restaurant one of the best eating spots in Brookline are the less traditional offerings, including cheddar-apple omelets and banana stuffed French toast. The wild artwork and hip young wait staff seal the deal; this ain't your grandma's deli."

You can never get a seat at Zaftigs on the weekends which is usually a good indicator of some great food. The food is good, but not otherworldly. They start you off with bagel chips and a good dip. The best things i've had here are the knish's and the potato pancakes. I've also had omelettes and sandwiches (corned beef was so-so, chicken sandwich was great). A lot of people mistakenly think this place is kosher, but it is NOT.
