About Brushland Eating House
Nestled in the bucolic setting of Bovina, NY, Brushland Eating House is an eating establishment that embraces simplicity and camaraderie in dining. Co-owners Sohail and Sara Zandi opened this venue in 2014, transforming a historic 19th-century building on County Highway 6 into a meeting point for locals and visitors alike. Brushland's philosophy centers around uncomplicated dishes that tell stories of heritage and community, served in a welcoming farmhouse setting.
Brushland Eating House distinguishes itself by its communal dining format, especially noteworthy during its Friday and Saturday night supper club events. With a single seating at 7 pm, this experience is designed to mimic the warmth and interaction of a home dinner party. Guests share an intimate atmosphere, where the emphasis is on connecting over food rather than ceremony or embellished presentation. Thursday nights offer a more relaxed experience with an à la carte menu featuring small plates and larger bites, reflecting Sohail's creative culinary flair with options like brisket salad accented with herbs and pickled ramps.
The couple's venture into Bovina's serene town was driven by a desire to escape the hustle of Brooklyn and build a space where every meal feels like a celebration amongst friends. The Zandi's restaurant pays homage to the historical 'eating houses' of the past—a nod to simple establishments, which served as local social hubs. Beyond the traditional restaurant setup, Brushland extends the ethos of rural living, welcoming discussions around the table that foster connection and community.
