Gili's kitchen was an unplanned visit that turned into a great food stop for our group. The whole ambiance and cleanliness of the place was so welcoming. The menu is surprisingly diverse taking inspiration from a lot of different Asian cuisines. We all tried different items and they were all delicious and full of flavors. We talked with the owner later before leaving and got to know that they were just starting off. So if you are around and need a good place to fill up your belly, give this place a try.

I've never had shawarma before but this was a delicious lunch time meal. I very much enjoyed it. I got the shawarma pita and my friend got shawarma on hummus. Both were delicious and filling. The staff was polite and the food came out quickly. I will return and recommend Gilis to my friends.

As the only kosher restaurant in Jacksonville it’s sure nice to have this option! The interior is nice and clean Ans the stuff is kind and proactive. I ordered the dirty burger and loved all the flavors. We also got two other dishes but it wasn’t anything too special. Follow me on Instagram for more kosher reviews @kosherfoodworld

Absolutely delicious! The ambiance, presentation and service is outstanding! We didn’t expect to find such a gem here, burgers , chicken fingers, sweet potato fries, were delicious, my daughter who is a very picky eater are her entire order of pasta bolognese:) flourless chocolate cake is a must try as well!

For those who keep kosher, restaurants like this are a true find. Not only is every dish delicious, but the owner is delightful as well. The shawarma and the pastrami were divine, whether one keeps kosher or not. Whenever I'm back in Jacksonville, this will be one of my stops.

Wonderful little place. I ordered the lamb burger with gluten free bun. The cashier checked with the cook to make sure the bun was available, he said it wasn't and offered gluten-free bread. I agreed. The owner was sitting in a meeting just behind us and said, 'let me go look I think I saw some.' Sure enough! He took the time to find them even though I had agreed to the other!!! The cashier was very sweet and explained the Hebrew language on a juice can. I am very glad I looked up this vegan friendly restaurant!!!

A small place we stumbled upon and the food was good. My daughter had an allergy to the pita bread and we were given a suggestion of a much bigger and higher price item, when we later realized she could have had a much smaller dish that was more appropriate. We felt a little conned into the bigger bill.

Great surprise KOSHER kitchen in downtown Jacksonville. It was such a wonderful treat to eat delicious Israeli falafel, scrumptious Matzah Ball Soup and perfectly prepared barbecue pulled BEEF! Hummus, cabbage and Israeli salad accompanied and even the fries were good! Absolutely stop by this hidden gem.. and feel like you stepped into a hideaway in Brooklyn!

Kosher restaurant. I’ll start with the staff and owners of the place , they are charming, welcoming and super nice. The food is fresh and very tasty compared to kosher restaurants overseas but also objectively. I ordered a juicy lamb hamburger (not industrial, homemade), and fries . The price $25, worth and justified. In conclusion, if you're in the area , or near Jacksonville even if you're not that hungry, go for a visit, you won't regret it.

We ordered shawarma in pita and shawarma on a plate, the portion size is less then reasonable, the shawarma is actually chicken pieces (not similar in shape and taste to Mediterranean shawarma). The hummus is made on the spot but is not tasty, the tahini is too thin and tasteless. Shawarma on a plate came with a small spoonful of vegetable salad (I’m not exaggerating). And the price does not match the dish.

Exceptional in every way!!! The presentation is artistic and appetizing, the flavors are mouth watering and the service is warm and welcoming!

The restaurant has tables to eat inside, we placed our order at the counter but I see people came in after us and the lady took their orders at the table. We ordered a hamburger and fries which were good and also ordered Sharwama which was very good but the sauce was not to my liking. Nice clean place nothing fantastic but very nice employees and the food was good. Would recommend.

Possibly the best fries I've had in my entire life. The vegan burger was amazing as well. Super friendly staff that was knowledgeable about the menu and answered questions. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.

Kosher. Good food but not a huge selection. Catering available. Recommend.

Very good shawarma and falafel! The owner and staff were also incredibly kind. The shawarma is just like in Israel

Worst pastrami sandwich we have ever had. Not much meat for the price & never have I had pastrami I couldn't chew. It was loaded with fat & what meat there was, was tough! The sweet potato fries were excellent.

Wonderful! Food was fresh, authentic, flavorful and reasonably priced for lunch. The falafel was not oily and had layers of flavor. Hummus was creamy, tasty and not too much garlic. Overall, enjoyable, and I expect that if I'm back in Jacksonville, I'll go back.

The food was phenomenal. Had a schnitzel sandwhich with a fries and fountain soda (free refills). The bread was fresh, soft and delicious. I'm really glad they have good kosher food around here.

Simple yet tasty kosher deli. Items reasonably priced even during inflation. Smart packaging is a cherry on top.

Unexpected and actually a quality meal that didn't disappoint. Something the Jacksonville Kosher community should be very proud of! I had the BBQ sauced chicken wings and dirty burger fully loaded. Tasty all around (maybe a thicker bun? It's a pet peve of mine) Overall very solid and I'd definitely eat here again and try other things too. Lchaim

Excellent food, lovely service, pleasure to experience. Loved the Antique but modern ambiance, awesome location. Thank you so much Gili. Food was delicious, your staff were so nice, welcoming and enthusiastic.

The cheese steak sandwich I had tasted fairly good, decently sized, and full of meat little bland, but decent. I did not have any fries. The fountain drinks are normal fare, but quite small cups. Overall it was okay. The only issue was the price. It was expensive for the product especially when compared to other alternatives. In the area, even with establishments that are expected to be more expensive. Cheese steak and a small soda, was $20. A bit steep.

What a delightful experience! The hummus mushroom was soooo flavorful!! Quaint Cafe downtown. Friendly staff. Good food by chef!

I had the corned beef New York style. The sandwich was inedible. The meat was overcooked and the sauerkraut was dry, the bread was barely toasted and the mustard was sparingly spread. The service was almost nonexistent. For 2 sandwiches, 2 beers, large order of fries and a side the bill was over $70.

This is a simple restaurant with outstanding food. Don’t be fooled by the “hole in wall” appearance. The staff is very professional and friendly. The food was excellent and the portions were generous. Highly recommended.

Gili's is a wonderful kosher establishment. With a wide range of menu items to choose from, there's something here for everyone. The service is kind and professional, and the food arrives quickly. American and Israeli cuisines combine in this restaurant, who is located in downtown Jacksonville.

I was looking for a quick place to grab lunch near the court house. We ordered 2 plain burgers with 2 small drinks and the total cost was $42. When we asked the lady at the register why the amount the amount was so high (burgers were $13 each) she told me that I had an upcharge of $3 per burger for adding cheese only, which it is extremely excessive. Not only that, when the lady brought our food we only got the burgers, no sides or anything, so $16 for a simple plain burger with cheese. Even though the burgers were good, I will never recommend it to anyone I know.

The food is exceptional. I am not just saying this, it really is. wait staff very sweet and actualy got the order right the first time. (Very unusual today) . Worth going out of your way for

Great place. Delicious shwarma and fries. Fast service. Easy to get to off of I 95. Great stop for some kosher eats.
