I had my first meal here with my dad and partner for Father’s Day, and it was amazing. My father is very orthodox and keeps kosher, so finding a place where he could eat without any issues while visiting from Israel was special. This restaurant exceeded our expectations. The pulled beef sandwich and the perfect fries were so memorable that my partner and I had to come back for more. The prices are on the higher side – our first visit with three sandwiches, a large fry, and two drinks with tip came to around 90. On our second visit, two sandwiches, one with a side of fries and one drink with tip was around 40. Despite the cost, the quality of the food and the experience makes it worth every penny. Highly recommend!

Delicious . Was served by Tanya. Got a hamburger with fries. Very good. If you don't care for mayonnaise, make sure to let them know, because mine came with mayo on it. No cheeseburgers, since it's a kosher restaurant. But they have vegan cheese to top it with (if that's what you're craving). Also got a cinnamon filled pastry for dessert which I also recommend. Would go back.

Gili's Kitchen is an absolute gem and truly felt like a home away from home for our family. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with warmth and kindness. Tanya was the highlight of our experience. She is the most amazing, patient, and kind-hearted woman. She loved our kids, treated them with so much care, and made us all feel relaxed and happy. She was also super helpful and fast with taking our order and offering thoughtful suggestions that made everything even better. The food was incredible. Real, authentic Israeli Mediterranean flavors that took us straight back to the taste of home. Every single bite was delicious and comforting. We enjoyed the meat hummus which was creamy and flavorful, the lamb kebabs which were juicy and perfectly spiced, the baguette shawarma full of amazing textures and flavors, and the huge schnitzel which was crispy on the outside and tender inside. Make sure you ask for their spicy paste called schug on the side. It adds the perfect kick. They also have amazing desserts. We tried the babka and the brownies and both were delicious. They even have gluten-free dessert options which we really appreciated. One of the best parts is how much more there is on the menu. There are so many other dishes we are excited to try. We are already planning to come back to explore more. The prices are very fair, especially for the big portions and high quality of everything. This place has everything you could want. Delicious food, great service, a warm and family-friendly atmosphere, and a staff that truly cares. We highly recommend Gili's Kitchen and will definitely return again soon.

Glad I found out about this spot through one of our local Facebook foodie groups, it gave me a new option for lunch. I had the tuna fish sandwich and sweet potato fries. Delicious! Great service too.

Fantastic!! Food is amazing!! Humus and Schwarma is great! Don't miss the schnitzel!! Just the fresh pita is worth the trip alone! They carter as well! The people that run it are so friendly and welcoming!! Its a can't miss spot for downtown Jacksonville!!

Gili’s Kitchen was the bright spot of my jury service day. I rarely find myself downtown so I am not well versed in dining options. Gilli’s proved to be a tasty find- I had the falafel pita with fries. The falafel was crispy and seasoned well. The pita was exceptionally soft and the right size for lunch. The fillings were fresh and in a good proportion to the falafel. The fries were screaming hot in all the best ways. Thanks for a great lunch experience, Gili’s!

Amazing Mediterranean food authentic like home their falafel shawarma and hummus are just great

Stopped by this place on the way to the art walk. The lady who greeted us was very sweet and the food was incredible. We tried the falafel pita and the lamb pita, and both were very good and ingredients were super fresh. Will definitely be going back to support this local restaurant.
