I found this to be really fresh and of great quality. Perhaps it could have been a little more plentiful but it definitely hit the spot. I went for the chicken pita pocket. There was a dollop of hummus on the plate and a spoonful of veggies. The pita pocket was fresh and fluffy and the meat was juicy and delicious. Really enjoyed this!
Lomah in the ELLA Dining precinct is a nice easily accessible place for some simple Mediterranean food.
I had the falafel in pita with mild sauce. The mild sauce was quite bland. Most of the pickled veggies were on the top so by the time I got to the middle it was basically just falafel and hummus (this still tasted good though). It might have been better to get the bowl option so that I could have gotten a bit of everything in each bite.
But for great food from the land of milk and honey, Lomah ticks the right boxes!
The flavours of Tel Aviv have arrived to the ELLA food precinct and I was keen to check it out. Their menu is mostly comprised of trays and pita, both of which have similar ingredients.
I went the pita route with lamb. The bread has its tip cut off and stuffed with lean lamb, pickles, dill, labne and a couple other goodies. It's not going to beat a nice fatty piece of lamb but at the same time I appreciated their healthier take on the pita as I didn't feel bogged down afterwards. It felt fresh and bright with the herbs and pickles used. I also polished off some fries lightly dusted in za'atar, very subtle flavour and crisp.
I didn't check their counter but there were some accompaniments available, including the tips of the pita. Taking me back to Miznon again, sigh.
Very nice Israeli/Middle Eastern street food in the new Ella dining precinct.
I could barely order or hear over the music as they pump it up incredibly loud inside the restaurant.
The pita is nice and soft. All the flavours in the grilled chicken work well together - spicy green salsa, tahini, dukkah, there are a lot of nice flavours going on.
I ordered a eggplant on a tray once and that didn't seem like great value, as it was only half an eggplant, and the top part near the stem was barely cooked.
Still, I'd recommend to give it a go.
I'd tried Colours kitchen in Prahran before it rebranded to Lomah and loved it. This concept is very similar and just as good. It's off putting that food is served in takeaway containers, but seating is limited in the small shop. I tried the sabich platter, as I love the traditional sandwich but wanted something less bready. What I received was a half eggplant topped with egg and tahini and served with tabbouleh, hummus, salad and chickpeas plus plenty of dressing. There's also a few types of pickles, tahini, spices and pita to add to your meal (self service). There was barely any pita when I went so I felt bad taking too much but the meal is too saucy without it, so I wish pita was just included or served in halves instead of wedges. The platter is more expensive than the pita variation of this dish anyway, so it seems fair to receive some extra bread. Regardless, my platter was really filling even with the measly 3 wedges of pita I was able to gather. It could have been a bit saltier but I guess that's what the pickles are there for.

We tried their shaved lamb on the tray today. It was delicious! Their hummus was so good. Lamb was flavourful and they also have grilled eggplant, capsicum, onion which goes so well with the dish. Will come back to try more !
Really nice space and staffs. Ordered 2 grilled chicken pitas. Food is pretty good and decent. It was enjoyable although I'm not a huge fan of pumpkin, but the smashed pumpkin in pitas was good. Really like the pita bread and the sauce.
Fantastic! Finally a decent and healthy lunch option with beautiful flavours and with some great gin and wine options too!! Cheeky Friday lunches just got better!!
I really enjoyed my shawarma bowl. The flavours were great, although I wish that the cauliflower and potatoes weren’t fried. Otherwise I would include it on my lunch rotation. The hummus was awesome, as was the pita bread. The tabbouleh was not chopped in the traditional way, which was a bit unexpected. Will be back to try some of the other bowls.

Loved the lamb shawarma enclosed in a fluffy pita bread. Had salsa in it to balance it. Super fresh and felt healthy. Falafel was crunchy as well.
Grilled lamb pita and umame fries. Good burst of flavour enclosed in soft pita pocket with generous helpings (self-serve) of pickled gerkins.
Had a delicious falafel salad bowl there for lunch the other day.
The Falafel was delicious! - nice and hot, slightly spiced which gave it an interesting depth of flavour, one of best falafel I’ve ever had to be honest!
The greens accompanying were very fresh, combined with the hummus and wonderfully toasted pita bread on the side made for a very tasty combination that was nice and healthy but big on flavour!
All that with a drink for just over $15 is excellent value
The owner is a proper chef who also runs a seasonal fine dining restaurant so you know there’s plenty of care factor in what’s being served,
give this place a try and see that a properly done vegetarian meal beats 2nd grade food court food any day.
Lomah really hits the lunch time spot! Food is not only delicious and freshly made but it makes you want to come back for more! The lamb is really good and the eggplant is great too! The service is quick and efficient and I think it is great value for money - all in all a 'must do'. :)
O.M.G. tried the lamb swarma on a whim and it blew me away! The pita was soft, the salad was fresh, the hommus was creamy, the yoghurt dressing was tart, the pickles were perfect, the lamb was juicy. Everything combined was the perfect mix of textures, ingredients and it was an explosion of flavours. So damn good. Definitely need to try out the rest of the menu, this beats a dry burger any day. Just enough to leave you deliciously full but not stuffed. Highly recommend!! 👍
I tried medium spice lamb plate come with rice. Service was ok 6/10. The food was good but the rice was little hard. Seems not kept in steam. Overall very nice food with yummy sauce, lamb was awesome.
I was walking through Melb Central to catch my tram when out of the corner of my eye I see a bowl filled with a smorgasbord of colour which tweaked my attention, curiosity and appetite. Turns out it was a salad bowl, but this was no ordinary run of the mill food court salad bowl. This bowl was filled with authentic Mediterranean flavours and ingredients that I call "real food" that is food without processed additives or ingredients that contain names like phenylephrine-a-tate (what feels like a rarity these days). After browsing the simple yet intuitive menu I chose a salad bowl with chicken and added hummus and pita out of a bevy of complimentary extras. When my bowl was ready the fun didn't end there, I was then given the option to add toppings like pesto oil, chilli powder and pickles. What I received in the end and in a timely fashion was a big old bowl of European nourishment that left me satisfied and googling flights to somewhere in the Mediterranean well done Lomah... my mouth went to Europe and didn't want to come back all for $14!
