Tucked into a busy corner of Peninsula Boulevard, Laffa Bar & Grill brings a bold, flavorful twist to the kosher dining scene in Hewlett. Equal parts grill house, shawarma stop, and family gathering place, it delivers a warm, vibrant experience from the moment you walk through the door.
Inside, the space strikes a balance between modern comfort and cultural character. Brick walls, sleek lighting, and open kitchen energy give it a casual but polished vibe. It’s the kind of place where you can sit down for a quick lunch or settle in for a full family dinner — and either way, leave full and happy.
The menu is built around rich, deeply seasoned dishes from across the Mediterranean and Central Asia. Start with hand-rolled beef manti dumplings or golden-crisp beef samsa, then move into grilled skewers stacked with lamb, chicken, or steak, all cooked to smoky perfection. The laffa wraps — warm, chewy, and stuffed with shawarma or schnitzel — are a must-try, as are the rice platters topped with slow-braised brisket or spiced ground beef.
But Laffa isn’t just about meat. The vegetarian options, fresh salads, and house-made sides bring balance to the menu, making it just as appealing for light eaters or family-style sharers.
Expect a steady flow of locals, families, and kosher food lovers who appreciate fast service, good portions, and reliable flavor. Whether you're dropping in for a weekday wrap or hosting a weekend meal with friends, Laffa brings flavor, hospitality, and heart to every table.
