Delicious Israeli infused BBQ, some of the best BBQ I’ve ever had. Sharon is lucky to have this establishment.
Ribs and brisket delicious. Best in area
A La Esh is a recently opened Israeli-style barbecue restaurant from Sharon native Avi Shemtov. Just a couple of doors down from its sister restaurant Simcha, this one focuses on food revolving around fire and smoke. The Hebrew word for "on the fire," Al Ha'esh means "barbecue" in both the method and grill used for cooking and that's what chef Shemtov is trying to highlight will still keeping more American barbecue techniques in mind.
This results in a very unique (and delicious) array of dishes from the highly creative smoked mashed sweet potatoes to the Shamin beans which are a mix of beans that have been slowly cooked for many hours with a few Jalapenos to create a luxurious, creamy side dish that's far removed from traditional barbecue beans and yet still very familiar.
The brisket, a true test of most traditional barbecue restaurants had a nice bark and was still moist and tasty. Served either as a sandwich ($11) or a plate with 2 sides ($13), it's hard to beat that kind of value and this makes it an a great bang for your buck. Do not sleep on the side of Brussel slaw, which features shaved Brussel sprouts, currants, chopped apricots with vinegar and a little bit of mayo. Those stood out to us and my only regret is not getting an additional side of that. The Couscous Mac & Cheese is also very unique and a very original take on a dish that is typically incredibly fatty and rich; this one is lighter but still satisfying.
Brisket aside, there's also plenty of other options like sandwiches like the Reuben ($11) and tuna melt ($9) as well as a grilled cheese ($6). There's also additional options and specials like salads, chicken noodle soup and even smash burgers and chili hot dogs. Keeping a close eye on the restaurant's social media feed is a must to see what the latest and greatest specials are.
All in all this place offers another unique offering to an area which typically doesn't have much going for it. Sharon is a pretty sleepy town but chef Avi is working hard to change that and this new addition is definitely a superb one. I look forward to many more trips there in the future.
