Daily News | Will ‘Jaffa’ be a new Mike Solomonov and Steve Cook restaurant in Philadelphia?
Mike Solomonov and Steve Cook, among Philadelphia’s most prolific restaurateurs, appear to be planning another Kensington restaurant.
A liquor-license application in the name of Jaffa was filed May 10 for a century-old former firehouse at the triangular intersection of Cecil B. Moore Avenue, Howard Street, and Turner Street — a block from their restaurant Goldie and event facility, Lilah. The site is several blocks north of Laser Wolf, amid Fishtown and Kensington’s sizzling dining scene.
Such a liquor application might not pique interest, especially since the restaurateurs’ names or their corporate name, CookNSolo, do not appear on the paperwork, but Jaffa is the name of a bar-restaurant that the pairThe Jaffa license application bears the name of a limited-liability company whose Center City address is used by Pearl Properties, one of CookNSolo’s primary landlords., was bought in March by a holding company with the same 19th Street address.
Jaffa joins CookNSolo’s Laser Wolf on the hotel’s roof and K’Far on the ground floor. The menu includes raw and cooked seafood options such as yellowtail pastrami with grilled cucumber; octopus shakshuka with charred tomato sauce; and brisket kebab-stuffed squid with harissa tehina.
