A Fairfax fixture for decades, Canter’s is the go-to for Jewish deli faves. The piping hot (and we mean hot) bowl of matzo ball soup at Canter's might not look like much, but the savory broth packs a (knockout) punch of flavor. While hefty, the matzo ball still manages to be light and airy.
If you grew up filling your soul with matzo ball soup, then mom’s is probably the best. Period. But for those—goyims included—looking for a restaurant version of the comfort food, Canter’s and Umamicatessen give any Jewish grandmother a run for her money.
