Shai [Official]
Chef Franklin Becker perhaps best known for starting the vegetable-focussed fast-casual chain the Little Beet is gearing up to open three new restaurant concepts operating from the same kitchen at 30 Van Dam Street, in Soho, in February.
Becker’s restaurants will based out of the Zuul Kitchens, a ghost kitchen establishment at the same location, and include: Galinha, a Portuguese spot highlighting grilled chicken. Universal Taco, which will serve up corn and flour tortillas filled with ingredients like Peking duck, chicken shawarma, and Baja-style shrimp. Shai, an outpost of the venture he launched in Philadelphia, is focussed on Israeli food like chickpea stew, parlsey salad, and falafel.
