Kosher restaurants and Jewish food centres
Each place below has its own detailed guide and a direct official source. Crazy GAKKO does not certify food; recheck the current certificate, hours and Shabbat arrangements before making a special journey.

What “source-checked” means here
We separate a venue’s own kosher claim from an independent or community supervision reference. Status, hours and supervision can change, so contact the venue directly when the standard matters to you.
How to choose the right place
Choose by location, meal type and the service you need. Chabad House publishes a meat restaurant and delivery service; the Israeli House lists separate meat and dairy restaurants in Haad Rin; Babi’s Grill presents itself as a kosher Israeli grill. The detailed pages preserve the distinction between official claims and independent listings.
Opening hours, delivery and a special journey
Only Chabad’s current official restaurant page publishes a detailed weekly schedule in the source set checked on 3 September. For the other places, contact the venue before travelling. Holiday, Full Moon and Shabbat operations can differ from ordinary weekday service.
Planning Shabbat and holidays
Register early, especially near Full Moon dates and major holidays. Confirm the location, start time, payment or donation arrangement, walking route and whether advance identification is required.
- Ask who currently provides or recognises the supervision.
- Do not infer kosher status from an Israeli menu alone.
- For strict dietary needs, confirm ingredients and preparation directly.
Check the exact service before travelling
Choose the specific venue first, then distinguish restaurant dining, delivery and a hosted Shabbat or holiday meal. A restaurant's ordinary opening hours are not confirmation of a reserved Shabbat seat. Check the relevant venue profile for its source date and contact the host for registration, location and dietary requirements. Do not infer that two Israeli restaurants share the same kosher supervision.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a Chabad House in Koh Phangan?
Yes, at 20/18 Moo 8. Use its official contact channel for current meals, hours and holiday information.
Are all Israeli restaurants kosher?
No. Cuisine and supervision are different questions. Verify the current certificate or recognised supervision directly.
Do Shabbat meals require registration?
Often yes, and arrangements can change by week or holiday. Contact the host early and follow the current instructions.
Where should I stay for walking access?
Choose accommodation near the specific venue you plan to use. Chabad House in Moo 8 and the Israeli House in Haad Rin are in separate parts of the island.
