There’s a new Israeli in town.

We’re a little late to Strut & Cluck, which opened in June. But London’s newest Israeli-inspired restaurant has been getting such ravesthat we wanted to give it a shout-out.

Chef Amir Chen’s turkey-centric menu includes harissa-coated wings, halloumi salad, meat-free koftas and “pita balagan” — an anything-goes, daily-changing concoction. There’s even a baked haroset and almond cake for dessert.

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning, nonprofit journalism during this critical time.

The coming year promises to be filled with more complex and historic developments. We are entering an era where independent, fact-based Jewish journalism will be more important than ever. We need to be ready for whatever 2025 will bring, and with your help, we can be.

We’ve set a goal to raise $260,000 by December 31. That’s an ambitious goal, but one that will give us the resources we need to invest in the high quality news, opinion, analysis and cultural coverage that isn’t available anywhere else.
