I've been coming to Laffa Bar for over 5 years now and can't fault it in any way. Each time I go I am reminded of just how incredible it is every time. Honestly can't find better middle-eastern laffa's in Australia!

Came to Laffabar Charcoal Grill with some of my family - we were a table of 4. We got there quite early at 6:30pm and it was lucky that we did because any later you’d need to make a booking as the place was packed and people were being turned away.
One half of the restaurant serves the takeaway clientele and the eat-in area is separate. Lots of men cooking the food in the open kitchen and only one waitress in the restaurant. However, she was amazing; super friendly and knowledgeable and super efficient. She couldn’t have performed any better.
There's a huge menu which includes Israeli dips and salads, falafel, fish, chicken and of course their signature dish of Schwarma. There were lamb, schnitzel and steak - just about everything you could think of.
We chose for the entrée, the Chicken Drumettes, Merguez Sausage and the Laffa bread with garlic and a side of hummus. The drumettes were succulent and juicy - there were 6 of them which was perfect for an entrée size and they were coated with the delicious Laffabar barbecue sauce. The Merguez is a spicy lamb and beef Moroccan style sausage which was spicy, flavoursome and it came out piping hot! It was served with sauerkraut and mustard on the side. The Laffa bread was great to share for an entrée, ripping pieces off, dipping it in the hummus, the barbecue sauce or eating it by itself - just fresh and awesome!
For mains, we ordered from the grill, Aged Scotch Fillet Steak and the Skewers of Steak. All the steaks were cooked to perfection, as we ordered it. Those having the skewers could choose two sides. We chose Israeli salad, red cabbage, and onions with sumac. The Scotch Fillet Steak came with an amazing fresh garden salad with a vinaigrette dressing to die for! I ordered a side of the warm sautéed mushrooms. We ordered a side of chips and they came hot and crunchy and were delicious.
For dessert, we shared a Dessert Laffa which was crunchy Laffa bread topped with chocolate sauce and fresh strawberries. It was heavenly and a perfect end to a delicious meal. I wish I hadn’t shared it.
Unfortunately, the night we came, we were in a bit of a rush so we’d love to come back and try more things and take our time.
A good place to come with lots of people as there were many things to share. Prices are on the higher side but probably due to it being Kosher but when the food and service are this good, you don’t mind a bit.
Casual but nicely arranged dining place. Food is delicious. Everyone enjoyed their meal. I had a grilled chicken burger and it’s full of flavours. It was fantastic! Service was good too. Apparently they only do take away for lunch on working days. But if you have a group of people they take lunch reservations even on weekdays.
A must try if your in the Caulfield area. I have tried nearly every dish on the menu. My favourite when eating there is the mix grill platter. The staff are friendly always try to please and they take reservations.
Sometimes the restaurant is pumping and busy with the restaurant area busy and the take away busy as well. They are also frantic with Deliveroo orders so you know the food is extra fresh as they have a huge turnover of food.
It is not a fine dining establishment so no table clothes etc and staff are friendly and try hard. It is a good family friendly place where you can have fish, salads, falafel, Skewers of fish/chicken/beef/lamb and the Schwarma is just scrumptious.
They are famous for the "lafa bread" which is the size of a small pizza. Worth trying.
Also really great for take away and small catering events or office catering.
A must visit and friendly establishment.
This is a lovely place... delicious food.. hummus platter is super yum.. and all the skewers are pretty good. The roasted eggplant with tahini is one of the top menu items.. overall its a bit pricey but worth trying this place out.. 👍
The service was far from great. The grilled fish made up for the sloppy service. I'm keen to come back as the food was great. The staff may have just have been having a bad night.
Baked cauliflower is divine! Ironic given it's a meat restaurant:). Although expensive, the chicken and schnitzel burgers are really good too.
Standard bar and grill in Caulfield however they are always out of lamb shawarma which is quite ironic. Timely service. The chicken skewers with salad were good. Schnitzel was a bit dry
Oh, those magnificent Laffas and what's in them. The place is called “Laffa Bar Charcoal Grill” – but it’s the first word in the name I want you all to focus on.
Everything off the girl is yumi, flavourful & succulent. Great salads & appetisers.
But when the grilled meat is rolled in a ‘Laffa’ (For those not in the know, it’s a middle eastern flatbread that combines all the best features of a Pita and a Naan),or used to dip in one of the salads?
Pure heaven!
A texture unlike any other, flavoursome, elastic enough to not tear under its “burden”, chewy enough to have a presence of its own, porous enough to “sponge in” all the flavours of the “fillings” in it.
Not to be missed.
Best Laffa...in the world?. I have been coming to Laffa Bar since the first week it opened and it has never disappointed on quality, freshness, scrumptiousness or to fill the hunger void. The Laffa itself is second to none. I have travelled the world in search of bread this good and always find myself unsatisfied until i am back at Laffa Bar. Thanks Guys!
Fantastic place for excellent Israeli food. We had mixture of different salads and meats that brought back a lot of memories for us of living in Israel many years ago. The food was very fresh and delicious and very well presented and was all perfect. All the staff were also super friendly and professional, and made us feel very welcome. We will certainly be back again!
Laffa bar always has fresh meat and salad produce. It will cost more than other places but you get quality here. Staff very friendly and accommodating to requests. Love the lamb laffa with all salads and dips.
Had really nice shawarma, kids had chicken schnitzel, which they ate with pleasure and a plate of dips and salads, of which the star was
baba ghanoush. The staff are really friendly, which adds too the pleasant experience.
Excellent food fresh and very tasty. Professional services with warm home atmosphere.
We definitely will come back!!!
Ktir ktir rawa3! I loved za’atar taboon, kipfler batata and baked cauliflower with tahini. The food here is authentic and honest to the cuisine, and is highly enjoyable :)
Excellent in value, service, quality and kashrut. Strongly recovering from the world's heaviest lockdown.
