The Bell Works campus in Holmdel has welcomed its newest eatery with the debut of Miznon Kosher, a Mediterranean street food concept that’s marking its first New Jersey location.
According to Inspired by Somerset Development, which owns the 2 million-square-foot property, the Kosher-certified restaurant occupies more than 2,300 square feet of ground-floor space. That includes the capacity to seat 65 guests, an open kitchen and a design that replicates the energy and atmosphere of Tel Aviv, with features such as olive-colored walls decorated with chalk drawings by artist Guy Mizrachy.
It’s among the latest additions to The Block at Bell Works, the property’s main dining and retail hub.
“Adding Miznon Kosher, a globally renowned culinary brand with locations around the world, to the community at Bell Works is an incredible addition to the diverse lineup of eateries at Bell Market and throughout the Atrium,” said Ralph Zucker, founder and CEO of Inspired by Somerset Development. “The Mediterranean street food eatery is the ideal tenant to cater to the vibrant mix of professionals working within our ‘metroburb’ and residents of the surrounding area. The restaurant’s reputation for delivering innovative and high-quality Mediterranean and Kosher food makes it the perfect addition to enhance our culinary landscape.”
The Miznon Kosher menu, which is certified by the OU and adheres to all Kosher dietary laws, features simple plates with dishes served in brown paper bags and on cardboard, according to a news release. Popular dishes include a falafel burger, melting chickpeas, rib eye minute steak and an amburger.
“After nearly a year of Miznon Kosher in New York, we are excited to spread our wings and bring the taste of Tel Aviv to our Jersey neighbors,” said Liad Balki, Miznon’s director of operations. “Our mission is to bring our food philosophy and the essence of the pita to our Kosher community far and wide, and what a perfect way to do that by opening our second Miznon Kosher in the U.S. inside a forward-thinking community hub like Bell Works.”
