Profile

In a somewhat confusing turn of events, the Zaitzeff family (mom Amine, sons Zachary and Peter), beloved by financial-district workers for their eponymous burger spot, have been retained to manage the East Village space that formerly housed the tea salon High Chai. Until certain issues were resolved, the place was without an official name—but not, fortunately, without Zaitzeff’s signature hormone- and antibiotic-free burgers (sirloin, Wagyu, turkey, or veggie), served on Portuguese muffins and topped with grilled onions. A bright, breezy interior features a tiled floor, white curtains, and plain wooden tables (some of them communal), and the expanded menu includes tuna salad with hard-boiled egg, just like mom used to make. — Robin Raisfeld and Rob Patronite

I ordered for delivery from Zaitzeff without having looked at a menu. The guy who answered the phone was incredibly helpful. I ordered a cheeseburger and fries. The delivery guy was at my door about 15 minutes later. The burger was PERFECT! It was one of the best burgers I have ever had. Fresh ingredients and cooked to my order. The fries were clearly homemade and fantastic. The Portuguese muffin that serves as the bun is the greatest addition in the burger world. I never would have thought of that. Overall, it was a perfect burger experience. I literally cannot think of a thing that would make it better.
