About Laffa Bar Charcoal Grill

Laffa Bar Charcoal Grill delivers certified kosher charcoal cooking and Israeli street-food staples in Caulfield South. Flatbread takes center stage here—steaming, house-baked laffa rolled around spiced lamb shawarma, chicken skewers, and scoops of smoky baba ghanoush. Regulars recommend skipping the cutlery to tackle the massive wraps directly, paired with crunchy salads, chips, and pickled cabbage.

  • House-baked laffa wraps: Meats and falafel come wrapped inside expansive, freshly baked laffa flatbread.
  • Certified kosher charcoal grill: Serves shawarma, skewers, and mezze dips under Australian Kosher supervision.
  • Sharing platters: Feast platters pair grilled steak or chicken skewers with salads and dips for group tables.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the food certified kosher?

Yes. The restaurant operates as a certified kosher meat charcoal grill under rabbinical supervision, serving shawarma, grilled skewers, burgers, and schnitzel alongside vegetarian items like falafel and salads.

Should you order the shawarma plate or a laffa wrap?

Platters and rolled laffa wraps are generally well-received for their generous portions, but reviewers caution that ordering a plated shawarma dish can be significantly more expensive for a smaller serving of meat compared to getting it wrapped in a laffa or shared on a group platter.

Should you make a reservation before visiting?

Booking ahead is recommended as the casual dining room can get busy and crowded. You can reserve a table in advance, and the menu easily accommodates family gatherings or mixed groups of meat-eaters and vegetarians.
