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.
