Felafels to tempt every body.

No doubt about it - the felafels are the best ever. The felafels seriously melt in your mouth and the combination of salad and pickles and olives and hummus and tahini are amazing. Lovely people and the business has stood the test of time. For over 20 years and many more I hope, the felafels are simply the best.

Pros: Lots of vegan options

Cons: Just that I live so far away.

Best falafels

My favourite falafels in Melbourne. The traditional wrap is vegan but they will also make the other options vegan if you ask. Big portion size for the great price

Best Falafel Ever

I have been eating here for over 10 years. The gentleman who runs it is friendly (as are all the staff) Tell them you need it vegan and they will alter it for you. The Half Moon Falafel is easily made vegan by switching out the yogurt with tahini and I add pickle chilli to mine for extra pop.
Do yourself a favour and discover this place.
Oh and you can buy some to falafel mix to take home too if you ask.

Meat gone

Great broad bean felafel!

Really great options with roast cauliflower and home made dips.

A few hilarious autocorrect fails in there but I think we get the picture 😂 Is the meat really gone?

It’s true this place does do the BEST falafel

A lot of the menu options have yogurt but the staff can sub it for tahini and it’s so good!

Best falafel!

Falafel made to order, absolutely fantastic! First time having Egyptian style falafel and I’m hooked. Pickles and falafel, how good! I’m sad I never got here again before leaving Australia. I’ll always remember this falafel

Pros: Made to order, Made with love

Fresh Falafel

Delicious fresh falafel, cooked after ordering. With a good range of wraps available, I had falafel with fried eggplant and swapped out the yoghurt for tahini. It was delicious. I also had baba ganoush to take home which was rich in flavour.
Friendly service and reasonably priced.

The best of Coburg culture

My favourite place. Vibrant community (and some local crazies), outdoor seating and the best felafal. I don't even bother trying anything other than the namesake Half Moon Felafal.

Pros: Clear Veg options

Cons: No eftpos/credit unless you spend over $15

Do you love falafels?? Then you’ll love this place.

I’ve eaten falafels far and wide, but this cafe wins the prize! Small cafe with outside seating. Falafels, hummus and tahini were delicious. Super fresh salad served with the falafels. 16 dollars for a large serving (actually, easily feeds two, but I was very hungry on the day). Great experience. Highly recommend.

Pros: Fresh tasty ingredients, Outdoor seating, Friendly staff

simply the best falafel

This Egyptian style falafel is different and in my opinion the best. Ask for vegan options, they just substitute the yogurt with another dip. I had one with roast cauliflower, it was amazing
