Cosy breakfast spot - Edit
Came here for breakfast on a warm, sunny morning, and had a very good time. Food is delicious... My partner said the falafels (in the Jerusalem Bowl) are competing for the best he's ever had in Sydney. Granola Bowl was delicious and very filling!
Read morePros: Friendly service, Falafel (and all-vegan menu), Nice cultural decor

Best vegan food in newtown - Edit
Khamsa is hands down my favourite vegan Cafe in Sydney. Sarah the owner has done an amazing job at creating Vegan Palestinian dishes that warm your heart and soul and that satisfy every taste bud and craving. Not to mention the cakes are out of this world !

Definitely will return! - Edit
The Imam Fainted (eggplant, pearl cous cous and tahini cream) was super delicious and was a generous serving. So the eggplant shakshuka was disappointing in comparison - small serving and a bit bland. But I’m looking forward to try something else in the future. Service was very friendly too!

Okay food - Edit
This entirely vegan restaurant has a vast range of baked goods and palestinian food. I've been here twice and underwhelmed by both experience. The first time I went there, I got myself their customers' favourite mushroom crepe. Which I find their homemade vegan hollandaise is lacking in something. (But most people enjoy it thoroughly and think otherwise!). The second time I got there was to try their newest dessert: knafeh. The knafeh was too syrupy sweet. If we were get to pour the syrup ourselves, it might be better. Location wise, it is a very beautifully decorated cafe. Also, dont get me wrong, the food is still enjoyable, but I do not find anything to be special.

One of my favourite eateries in Sydney! - Edit
I have been going to Khamsa since it's opening and it is such an amazing cafe. It's a family run restaurant with friendly staff and amazing food! Sometimes there is a bit of a wait for food, and tables (as they get very busy), but I promise it's worth the wait.

Great drinks! - Edit
I had the turmeric latte which has ginger juice in it for that extra delicious kick! My partner had an orange juice that was so fresh and satisfying. We ordered the hummus plate to share and whilst it did taste good - for $22 it was quite sparse and could have done with more than one falafel and a bit more hummus. Wait staff were friendly but a bit vague - we were given a bottle of water and no cups until I went to fetch my own. Apart from that go and check it out even just for the mega zen atmosphere!
