    I absolutely loved the falafels, babaganoush, and those zesty pickled chillies and cucumbers! The seating is al fresco, and they've got this cool system where they assign you a number, and there's a nifty display to eagerly watch for your food. Trust me, it's a must-try!

    Falafels are good but not the best in Melbourne like how everyone seems to be reviewing about them, not for those looking for fast food cuz its not worth the wait, had to wait 33 mins for a falafel wrap. They are hiring so I hope they find more people. Will definitely return if I pass by and see if it's not busy to try something else.

    One of the best falafal I've had. Great service, everyone was very friendly and it was clear that they took pride in the food they make. I got the Ciro and would definitely recommend it. However, I might get the classic the next time just to let the star of the show (falafel) shine through. Good places to sit Ave eat outside and you can just chill and wait for your order. Looking forward to going back

    I enjoyed my wrap! Got the classic one for a first try and it was really tasty. Staff were really helpful and there is a decent waiting time during busy times but they have a number system! Ingredients were fresh

    Are these the best felafels in melbourne? I reckon they might be. Delicious herby, green balls of fun with so much flavour that go beyond just the bland one flavoured chickpea dry bites that you get from most places. The owners of this restaurant are so lovely and super happy to have a chat if they aren’t serving their many faithful customers (for very good reason!).

    This place is a Coburg institution and it’s not hard to see why. They simply make the best falafel in town. You actually see them frying them right in front of you! I love their falafel roll, but the falafel meal with all the pickled sides is an absolute treat. No visit to Coburg is complete without a trip to the Half Moon Cafe.

    I love this place! It's a Coburg institution, I'll go as far to say this place makes the best felafel in Melbourne! So delicious

    Absolutely loved the food, very fresh and all made on the premises. All vegetarian. The staff were really lovely. This is now my go to falafel shop. A hidden gem

    Order to make falafel warp! We had full moon warp, sunflower warp and lattes. The warp is very big, it likes 2 meals for me. Good coffee and great service. Highly recommended the falafels and halloumi.

    Egyptian falafel is great!! Using faba beans not chickpeas.

  • 5/5 Sophie G. 6 months ago on Google
    It was my 1st time, the lady at the cashier was friendly and welcoming. I Ordered 2. Half Moon, love it! Flavours were good, veggies were fresh and sweet. Will definitely return when i’m in the area! On a side note, dining area is only al fresco.

    New favourite cafe in Coburg! The food is delicious and the staff are lovely. I was a little worried about eating the falafel, as I’m sensitive to onion and chickpeas, but the man gave me one to try. So kind!

    The owner, (nabil) , his wife , his son & the staff 🖐, they assure my belief about business success is strongly based on personalities. They are great , creative & above all happy people. Well done. God bless

    I've been coming here for over 10 years. They are fantastic freshly made falafel wraps! and the owners are always friendly. Support a local family business who make beautiful food. Try the homemade Baklava also, delish.

  • 5/5 Quincy M. 2 years ago on Google
    Hands down the best falafel in Melbourne. Always perfect flavour and consistency - I recommend getting it in a wrap with haloumi. Staff are also always nice and service is quick.

  • 5/5 August Z. 1 year ago on Google
    The food is really good and always tastes fresh. I used to go there all the time. The wraps, falafel and chips are delicious!

  • 5/5 Kitty H. 1 year ago on Google
    Best falafel in Melbourne. Whenever I am near Coburg I make a point of coming here - mostly every week or two. The Ful Medames is also delicious. And the service is welcoming and friendly. I now come here instead of a falafel place close to home. Highly recommended.
