The food was absolutely delicious and I cannot recommend more highly! It's just like eating a home-cooked meal in Israel! Thank you for a wonderful dinner!
Yummmmmmoooooooo
Just like home food... every time it’s simply better n better... go ... enjoy
First of all - lovely amazing service and always feeling welcome! And the food compliments that service. Full of love and goodness. Every time i go to eat at Ravit (the owner) I know i'm coming for an 'on the spot' clean meal and completely satisfied. Highly recommended!
Delicious food, great atmosphere and amazing owner (Ravit). 5 stars is not enough to rate your delicious food and salads. My daughter and I go crazy for your carrot salad, nothing is left at the end of Shabbos

Scrumptious authentic home-style middle eastern food.
Amazing food and vibe! Somewhere I would definitely recommend to anybody
Luvvvvvved the Moroccan fish and all the side dishes served with it. I don't usually eat white flour but for Ravit's delicious pitta, l'll make an exception!
Was there today for lunch. Excellent service and such large portions! Your schnitzel burgers are amazing! We had a great time and will be back again. Thanks Ravit
Amazing food!!! Especially the Shabbat Friday food! YUMMY!!!!!
Thank you so much for such wonderful hospitality. Our party of 25 were well looked after with fresh food and lots of variety. It was all delicious!
Hilulim is the reason I'm not a full time vegetarian. The grilled chicken breast is amazing.
Food is always fresh and has a great aroma all the time.
Fantastic food and great staff. Always welcoming and delicious quality
...the most tasty, clean, healthy, soulful food in town... in a wonderful environment...with a gorgeous hostess, Ravit... creating magic in the kitchen with her mother, whose home made cuisine has to be seen...and tasted....can't rave enough...and it's KOSHER...at very reasonable value... TAKE-AWAY or EAT-IN...!!!! The Kubbe was unbelievable...as is everything else...my family from Paris have been all over the world...I brought them in for lunch and they were so impressed...they are looking forward to coming back...!!
Fantastic authentic Israeli food! Tasty and generous!
Hilulim is a lovely middle eastern restaurant.
Ravit and her mum are amazing middle eastern cooks and the food is as authentic as you can get. The food is tasty and fresh. I wish they were on Uber Eats or Deliveroo so I could get take away.
When I eat there we try the Soups and they are great. I have the chicken soup and my business partner always gets the Kubah soup which is minced meats in these semolina balls. It is lovely.
I also love the grill of chicken or meats and the salads are fresh, tasty and easy to eat.
The service staff are not always as friendly but the tasty food always overrides this. A must try for a tasty lunch which will get your mouth tingling with different spices and tastes. They are open a few nights a week for dinner.
The staff are very friendly and welcoming, and very accommodating to different needs. Their burgers are awesome! They also invite me to practice my Hebrew with them. I highly recommend this place for atmosphere and food!
Chicken Schnitzel burger the best I ever ate . Homus home made , pickles amazing , friendly staff , clean plates & cutlery , open kitchen so you can see whats cooking
Awesome food and Owner.
Tried the felafel Laffa wrap one lunch time it was to die for. Generous and tasty . I also tried their little savoury pastries which were delish . The owner is a gentle soft spoken lady who you can tell loves to cook and feed. They were closed for a bit and have reopened with new hours. Sorry this review is a bit late. Ravit I am the lady who works up the road and comes for her lunch. Can't wait to go back. Give it a go. BEST FELAFELS and DIPS. Highly recommend.
Great place, fresh salads with big selection to choose from, home bake Lafa and pita, the best is the Persian kibble soup,with large dumpling stuffed with meat.
Best humus, best falafel,clean and great service.
Would recommend for all.
Excellent food, fresh in quality and very tasty!!
The staff are very friendly.
Wether you eat in or take away the quality never changes, get in early as the it tends to get vey busy during both lunch and dinner.

Situated on Balaclava Road right near Caulfield Park, Hilulim has been providing kosher meals to the community for a number of years. Owner Ravit Gabai has has purposely kept the interior low key and comfortable, and aims to provide value for money and a family home vibe. Ravit and her mother run the kitchen, working all night to prepare food for the next day. All the food is made fresh and without preservatives, artificial flavours or colourings. Almost everything is made by themselves, from the pita and laffa bread, to the salads and dips like hummus and baba ganoush. As the food here is kosher, it’s more expensive to make because of the cost of the ingredients, but it has been her dream to run a restaurant like this.
Wow what a great meal!
We got the mega plate which comes with your selection of two meats, side of either chips or rice, and four salads between two people. The dish also comes with hummus and laffa. Laffa is this incredibly soft bread which at Hilulim is baked fresh in-house. For meat we got the chicken shashlik and lamb shwarma. Salads were: beetroot, red cabbage, tabbouleh, and spicy carrot.
Where do I start!? The tabbouleh was incredibly fresh, as too were the other salads. It was clear that they had been made on the day from scratch. The meat was mild in flavor but to my taste worked exceptionally well with the more complex salad and hummus flavors. Wow that hummus was just divine - so creamy and well balanced. The chips tasted very fresh as well and left no nasty old oil taste.
I was very impressed with the food on offer here. It tasted very home made but no where near what I could achieve at home myself.
New favorite, will return and would definitely recommend!
Wow. What a gem. Amazingly authentic food. I love the hummus! Delicious and creamy. Good serving portions and warm service. Great stuff. We will definitely be back!

I've been twice now. Tasty food, generous proportions, well priced.
Delicious Middle Eastern inspired food. They are only open on Friday mornings
Amazing food and hospitality. Family owned business and owners who really care. Highly recommend the lamb burger.
My sister put me on to hilulim and i can't thank her enough. Seriously the most delicious food. I've not eaten in the cafe but i go every couple of weeks to get my dips and some of the yummiest salads I've EVER had i recently had a dinner party, i work 6 days a week so decided to buy the salads to save time. I also took home some menus because I knew the question would be WHAT'S THE RECIPE? Can't get enough of their tuna dip, the eggplant and capsicum salad is a MUST TRY. i promise you wont be disappointed.
Outstanding food, filled with flavour! So many different options to choose from. Fantastic array of veggie and vegan friendly too. Healthy and delicious!
Best food, especially the Moroccan fish, schnitzels, salads, great vegan dishes and yummy biscuits.
Great food, and more than enough of it. They have a million Israeli and Moroccan salads and dips and sabich and malawach and they're all ridiculously good. Just wish it was open more nights! (In August 2017, it was only open for lunch most days.)
Very warm atmosphere, great service and amazing food. Great veriaty of choices, everything from soup, mains, salads and even smoothies tastes amazing. Highly recomended a+++
delicious falafel and hummus, really good salads and fillings for falafel in pita and in laffa. Really authentic tastes and salads, so it's not just another falafel place, but a really standout one
