About Yossef’s Laffa-Milia

Yossef’s Laffa-Milia brings authentic kosher Israeli food to Owings Mills, Maryland — rooted in family tradition and made from scratch every single day. Founded by Yossef and Hana Shavi, together with their children, this beloved family-run kitchen grew out of four years of operating a food truck that drew a loyal following across the Baltimore Jewish community.

Every dish reflects generations of Israeli home cooking, from the bold spices of the street to the comforting warmth of recipes passed down through the family. Yossef’s Laffa-Milia is proudly Star-K certified fleishig, and the team is deeply committed to making every guest — vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free — feel genuinely welcome at the table.

The restaurant is located at 10210 S Dolfield Road in Owings Mills, near Wegmans in Foundry Row, and is open Sunday through Thursday. Whether you dine in, take out, or order delivery through DoorDash, every meal is prepared with intention, love, and a whole lot of flavor.

The best place by far when it comes to shawarma, falafel and all Israeli street food. As an Israeli I felt like I’m in Israel. Highest level of food and overall super nice experience! Highly recommended!

Visited for the first time today with a friend who is also a fan of Israeli / Mediterranean food. We both got the Shawarma/Laffa (toasted). Huge, stuffed beyond belief, and incredibly delicious. The staff made us feel very welcome too! Will definitely be back for more.

Shwarma in a pita OMG Everything is coming out that is the best thing I’ve ever tried. The food was freshly made delicious and stunning. I do recommend this place to everybody who eats kosher and non-kosher food if I could I’d give them like 20 stars.

From Food Truck Favorite to an Owings Mills Standout (Updated August 2026) I first discovered Yossef’s Laffa-Milia a couple years ago when they were operating from a food truck in Pikesville, and I was impressed then by the quality of their falafel, hummus, and bread. I recently returned for the first time in quite a while, this time to their new restaurant in Owings Mills, and the food may be even better than I remembered. 💡 MICHAEL’S TIP Do not miss the falafel, Hummus and if the Classic Schnitzel on challah is available, order it. They do have regular schnitzel plates for sandwiches available regularly on the menu. We arrived around 6:30 on a busy Thursday evening and waited a while to order, so allow some extra time during the dinner rush. ATMOSPHERE & HOSPITALITY The restaurant is casual and fairly compact, and when we arrived there was a long line and it seemed to be moving slowly. The ordering process felt somewhat chaotic and could use a little more structure and efficiency. What made the wait easy to forgive was the hospitality. Everyone was warm, welcoming, and genuinely apologetic about the delay. Yossef was there along with his daughter Alona and staff, and despite how busy they were, the feeling was remarkably personal. This is counter service, but it is absolutely not fast food. The emphasis is on fresh, homemade Israeli cooking, and that takes time. THE FOOD We shared the Classic Schnitzel Challah sandwich, and it was outstanding. The challah was substantial enough to hold the sandwich together, with crispy schnitzel, fried eggplant, purple cabbage, hummus, and tahini creating a combination of textures and flavors that worked beautifully. It was also large enough for two of us to share along with the other dishes. The falafel was even more impressive. I called it among the best in Baltimore in my original review, and after eating it again I would go further. It is as good as virtually any falafel I have had, including versions I have eaten in the Middle East. Crisp outside, light and herbaceous inside, it is the kind of simple food that exposes immediately whether someone knows what they are doing. The hummus was also excellent, thicker than many American versions and much closer in style to what I associate with traditional Middle Eastern hummus. We shared it with the falafel along with Israeli salad, making for a simple but extremely satisfying meal. Our total was around $60 for two people, so it’s not inexpensive for quick service but considering the portions, quality and freshness of what you’re getting I figured it’s a fair price to pay. FINAL THOUGHTS Yossef’s has come a long way from the food truck I first visited, but fortunately the qualities that made it memorable have survived the move. The operation could become more efficient, particularly during a busy dinner rush, but I would rather wait a little longer for food this good served by people who genuinely seem happy to have you there. For authentic Israeli and Middle Eastern food in the Baltimore area, Yossef’s belongs near the top of my list. Five stars, and absolutely worth the wait.

Delicious food, amazing vibe, everyone is so friendly. Ordered the Laffa Shwarma and loved every bite. If I lived around here I would be here every week! Just got back from Eretz Yisrael and this was a nice taste of it.
