Milk and Honey Jerusalem Market and Grill is a simple little establishment and very understated, but don't think for a moment that the food reflects this description. This little gem is considered by many Israeli ex-patriots to have the absolute best selection of authentic kosher food and imported items from Israel. Pita is baked fresh daily and the market has an extensive dry goods section. Fridays are particularly tempting, as this is when rotisserie chickens, baked pastries and challah are made.

Carshon's Deli is one of the oldest restaurants in Fort Worth and was founded in 1928 by a Jewish immigrant; it is the only kosher deli in Cowtown. When craving an authentic deli sandwich, this is just the place to fit the bill, offering selections like the Rachel with corned beef and turkey, melted swiss, cole slaw and Russian dressing.  If the craving is for something lighter, the soups include bean and barley, split pea and chicken noodle. And few can resist freshly toasted bagles with a healthy serving of lox and cream cheese. For a more robust appetite, the meat and fish platters are certain to tempt any palate with everything from Knockwurst to smoked trout.

Another solid option for a group is the smoked fish platter with a variety of succulent, fresh fish and garnishes.
