About the provider

When you're feeling like a taste of Eretz Yisroel in Long Island, be sure to check out Laffa Bar & Grill in the Five Towns!

Laffa Bar & Grill was taken over by new owners in January 2019 and has continued with the Middle Eastern menu and added a few Bukharian inspired dishes such as plov and dumplings.

The restaurant is still family friendly, but with white tablecloths, a mural of Israel on the wall, an expanded menu, and a veteran hands-on management, Laffa Bar has a classic atmosphere. This is now the only sit down, full-service Middle Eastern meat place in the area and just 10 minutes from Central Avenue - not only is the need present, Laffa Bar fulfills all expectations and beyond!

The majority of the menu is standard Middle Eastern fare, like shawarma and kebabs. They also have Bucharian cuisine, including bakhsh (which is rice with parsley, as well as hand cut beef and lamb) and samsas, dumplings filled with chopped onions and beef, served with a tomato sauce.

On Fridays be sure to check out Laffa Bar's take home buffet. The food is a sure fire crowd pleaser, for any Shabbat you just don't feel like cooking. They might just become a staple to your Shabbos meals!

Be sure to fulfill you shawarma craving with Laffa Bar & Grill!
