Great place for large sandwiches, soups and hot food. It has a nice area to sit down and eat inside or outside in summer or warmer weather. The table service isn’t great but after you get over having to order at the counter it is a good vide and atmosphere. The food is cooked kosher style and is very hearty and filling.
I also suggest you try the take away meals as they always go down a treat later in the day or next day.
Very nice babka, coffee and warm environment… absolutely recommended
We visited here with our 7 weeks old son and he liked it too
Coming back sometime
Excellent food. Pastrami to die for! Service was great as well. The lady taking the order was mighty helpful in helping us decide. The dessert looked nice too.
What is Ashkenazi Jewish food?
There are many different types of Jewish cuisine, but for this meeting, we sampled the Ashkenazi branch of food, via NYC, in Caulfield! Think Matzo ball soup, lox bagel and reuben sandwich, with great Melbourne coffee!
While Ashkenazi cuisine as it is known today is largely based within the context of American-Jewish and Ashkenazi-Israeli food, much of the culinary tradition of Ashkenazi Jews springs from Central and Eastern Europe. It has evolved over many centuries, shaped by Jewish dietary laws (kashrut), Jewish Festival, and Shabbat (Sabbath) traditions. After having been expelled from Western Europe in the Middle Ages, Jews were forced to live in poverty and thus were limited in terms of ingredients. Dishes were made with fewer components; they werent heavily spiced and ingredients that were more flavorful had to be used sparingly. This is often why some dishes in Ashkenazic cuisine are known for being blander than dishes in Sephardic or Mizrahi cuisine.
We had a few extra guests on this day who hadnt had the Chutzpah to join us yet, schlep on over to join us Goys in Caulfield!
Cafe Dlish is part Melbourne Cafe, part Kosher deli, with many ready made and frozen kosher meals available to take home. As we were there on a Sunday for brunch, there was the added bonus of a delicious Cholent available, which i took home for dinner that night. Others picked up bagels and Lox, Chicken soup (AKA Jewish Pennicillin) and Matzah balls for easy Sunday night dinner options.
We ate:
-Cabbage Rolls (beef mince and rice stuffed and rolled inside cabbage leaves, slow cooked in tomato)
Chicken Noodle Soup with Kreplach
Challah French Toast with Mascapone, Cinnamon, Maple Syrup and cinnamon
Reuben Sandwich
Various meats, salads and deliciousness from the heaving deli offerings
We drank:
-Great coffee, and lots of tea.
Would we go again? Absolutely however it is a schlep if you live in the Northern suburbs all the way down to Caulfield. Really delicious food, and this family run business could not have been warmer and more welcoming to us Goys.

I love this cafe! Staff are friendly, coffee is great and food is fresh and delicious! I have tried the salads and the crepes. Both delicious. The caramel slice is sinful but out of this world!
An interesting little cafe which has tasty food with a small and simple menu but I like it. Not much seating space but it’s good to sit outside when the weather is warm.
