Information About Laffa Bar & Grill

About Laffa Bar & Grill

Located in Hewlett, New York, Laffa Bar & Grill brings together bold, comforting flavors from Middle Eastern and Central Asian and Mediterranean culinary traditions. First opening in January of 2019, the menu ranges from slow-cooked rice dishes to hand-formed dumplings and house-made laffa bread. The restaurant offers a distinctive dining experience that has earned it a loyal following in the Five Towns community.

Among the standout features of Laffa Bar’s menu is its commitment to traditional Central Asian dishes, particularly plov and bakhsh. Plov is a fragrant rice dish prepared with carrots, beef, and lamb, and Bakhsh offers a lighter variation, made with rice, cilantro, and finely diced beef. These dishes are not commonly found locally, giving Laffa Bar a unique place in the area's culinary landscape.

The appetizer menu builds on this regional focus with items like samsa—crispy pastries filled with seasoned ground beef—and manti, oversized dumplings that are generously stuffed with beef and onions. Soups also reflect this diversity, with options like Yemenite beef or chicken soup served alongside kubaneh (a traditional pull-apart bread), hilbeh (a fenugreek-based dip), and schug (a spicy herb condiment).

Laffa Bar doesn’t shy away from innovation either. The menu includes items like shawarma and brisket pizzas, combining familiar comfort foods with regional influences. These 10-inch pies offer something different without feeling gimmicky.

The restaurant is all about bold flavor and generous portions, which is often commented on by the guests that come. The popular Seasoned Meat Platter Boards feature premium grade Steaks, Lamb, Chicken, and Beef Skewers are always served in delicious combinations. For a group meal, they recommend one of the Meat and Chicken Board Platters. If you want your own plate, try one of the individual Rib Eye Steaks or Beef Skewers, which come with your choice of 2 sides.

Dishes are served with attention to detail, and the restaurant’s atmosphere is described as airy and relaxed, with both indoor and outdoor seating options. The staff is frequently noted for being upbeat and attentive to customer needs.

Open Sunday through Thursday from 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM, and Friday until early afternoon, Laffa Bar also offers online ordering through its website for pickup and local delivery.
