Gilie's Kosher History

Gillie’s Kosher is a Glatt Kosher shawarma and grill restaurant known for its authentic Middle Eastern flavors. Their menu features a variety of dishes, including shawarma, falafel, kebab, schnitzel, hummus, and shakshuka, all served with house-made sauces and fresh pita. 

The restaurant is certified Glatt Kosher under the supervision of Vaad Kashrus Mehadrin (VKM), ensuring adherence to strict kosher standards. 

Gillie’s Kosher has been expanding its presence, with a new location announced in the Seattle area. This upcoming branch will be certified by the Vaad HaRabanim of Greater Seattle and will adhere to Chassidishe Shechita, Pat Yisrael, and Hashgacha Temidit standards. 

Gillie’s Kosher brings the bold, savory flavors of the Middle East to the kosher table. Known for its sizzling shawarma, crispy schnitzel, and rich, creamy hummus, Gillie’s blends traditional recipes with modern presentation. Each dish is prepared fresh, featuring homemade sauces and warm, fluffy pita.

Proudly certified Glatt Kosher by reputable agencies like VKM and the Vaad HaRabanim of Greater Seattle, Gillie’s is committed to the highest kosher standards—offering Chassidishe Shechita, Pat Yisrael, and full-time rabbinical supervision (Hashgacha Temidit).

Whether you’re craving falafel or shakshuka, Gillie’s Kosher is more than a meal—it’s a celebration of heritage and flavor.

Proudly Certified Kosher

At Gilie’s, we are committed to upholding the highest standards of quality, integrity, and inclusivity in everything we do. That’s why we are proud to be certified kosher by the Va’ad HaRabanim of Greater Seattle.

All of our bakery items are Parve and Pat Yisrael (unless otherwise noted), and our meats are Glatt Kosher. This certification ensures that every product prepared at our location meets strict kosher standards year-round, excluding Passover.

Customers can feel confident knowing that our items are prepared under continuous rabbinical supervision and must remain in sealed original packaging with either the Gilie’s or Va’ad seal bearing the kosher symbol.

This certification reflects our ongoing dedication to inclusivity, tradition, and community trust. Whether you follow a kosher lifestyle or simply value high-quality standards, we welcome you to enjoy the care and authenticity baked into every Gilie’s product.

We take great pride in being part of a vibrant and diverse community, and our kosher certification allows us to serve a broader range of customers with respect and transparency. It’s more than just a label—it’s a symbol of our promise to deliver food that’s not only delicious, but also deeply rooted in tradition and trust.
