Once upon a time kosher restaurants were un-cool, dodgy and definitely to be avoided by all but the most observant Jews who were desperately hungry. Not anymore. This place, under the auspices of Melbourne Kashrut, offers reasonable quality upmarket fast-food at prices that will not break the bank. Not surprisingly it is filled most weekday afternoons and Sundays with school kids and parents needing a break. The food ranges from burgers and chicken to falafel, salads and dips and even Japanese sushi. There is also a healthy alternative menu and freshly squeezed fruit juice. Shabbat/Yom Tov take-away available.
