While Taam Tov's location is shrouded, it's not trying to be mysterious. Midtown's Diamond District is lined with men wearing sandwich boards advertising "We Buy Gold & Diamonds," but only one among them hawks Taam Tov. He'll show you the door. Head up a worn staircase past jewellers’ businesses to the third floor, where you'll come upon a kooky little takeout window. Carry on to a workaday café selling a homespun menu of glatt kosher food. Soup, such as the big bowl of Uzbek-style shurpa bobbing with tender meat and vegetables, is a meal in itself. Samsa is another specialty—a peppery, juicy beef-and-onion square-shaped pie in a pretzel bread wrapping studded with sesame seeds. Spaghetti and French fries are also available for those not tempted by the kebabs, pilafs, stroganoffs and chops.Taam Tov
