Barbecue lovers in Sharon, Massachusetts, have a reason to celebrate as A La Esh, a restaurant known for its fusion of Israeli and Southern BBQ flavors, is making a comeback. A group for local food enthusiasts, Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants, recently spotted a poster heralding the return of A La Esh to its old spot in the Sharon Heights Shopping Plaza on South Main Street. Eager foodies have been told to "Stay tuned" through a Facebook post by the business alongside a teaser of the new menu packed with drool-worthy items like lamb chili, brisket sandwiches, pulled pork sandwiches, kebabs, and smoke-infused hummus.

During its initial run starting in the fall of 2020, A La Esh became a beloved dining destination, serving up a blend of traditional and innovative barbecue dishes, and now after saying goodbye in the fall of 2022 the restaurant is slated to open doors once again. The revival comes after the location briefly housed Hummus v'Hummus, which has now pivoted to focus on catering services. The spot will see a revival of flavors with additions to the menu like smash burgers, smoked salmon, tacos, macaroni and cheese, signifying a true blend of global tastes with a local twist as reported by the Boston Restaurant Talk blog.

Avi Shemtov, the culinary mastermind behind A La Esh, also manages The Chubby Chickpea food truck and catering operation established in 2010. His expertise in creating a diverse range of flavors is critical to the restaurant's identity. On the restaurant's website, the team touts its barbecue as an award-winning caliber drawing diners into a realm of progressive tastes, billing A La Esh as "something very familiar that's unlike anything you've ever had before."

The anticipation for A La Esh's return is high among Sharon's residents and visitors, who've previously indulged in the joint's diverse offerings the revived restaurant is located at 370 South Main Street in Sharon, MA, and aims to once again become the go-to spot not just for hearty barbecue but for an inventive menu that pushes the boundaries of traditional grill fare. Those who've missed the unique combinations and smoky flavors that A La Esh brings to the table won't have to wait much longer, and while the exact date for the grand reopening is still under wraps, the teased menu items suggest that the relaunch will be worth the wait.
