AS one of Melbourne’s kosher cafes closes, another opens.Brothers Daniel and Eli Grosberg have opened Daneli’s Deli on Carlisle Street, next door to Glick’s Bakery.

Specialising in American deli-style food, the cafe is fleishig, open six days a week, and on Saturday night from an hour after Shabbat ends.”We lived in New York for a few years and ate at many of the delis there, and we thought it was something that Melbourne really needed,” Eli Grosberg told The AJN. “We enjoyed it so much we wanted to bring it here.”

The menu at Daneli’s includes southern chicken wraps, buffalo wings and pastrami egg rolls, salads and soups.

More substantial meals are also on offer, such as burgers and hot dogs “from the grill”, as are deli sandwiches including a kosher version of the famous Reuben. The cafe is under the certification of Kosher Australia.

Meanwhile, Sabra Israeli Cafe, which was located further down Carlisle Street, closed its doors last week, with the owner moving back to Israel.

Melbourne’s kosher scene has grown in recent months with the Israeli-style fleishig Laffa Bar and milchig Shemesh Pizza both opening their doors, on Hawthorn and Glenhuntly roads respectively.
