What User likes about The Left-Handed Chef:
I've walked passed this little gem a hundred times, why? I don't know. Finally walked in.... Beautiful authentic, tasty food. Cosy atmosphere, bake their own bagels & bread. I will most certainly be back again and again and again View all feedback. What User doesn't like about The Left-Handed Chef:
we were told about the place and came to try a real Israeli food. the eating was given in large portions, but the place looks far neglected and the Arabic music fill the air in very high volumes to think that it could be in Cairo or damascus. View all feedback.

The best hummus we have ever had. This will definitely go into your monthly restaurant rotation. Great for date nights and large group celebrations.

The most amazing fresh and tasty food! We keep coming back, traveling from the outer north east of Melbourne because there is nothing else like it!
