Fresh crunchy falafel and soft pita mmm... my only gripe is the salads are not spread out evenly (lot of pickled cucumber to get through at once). The shop fitout is basic and staff are friendly.

This is a real personal spot - good food, great people👍🏻 What more would you want? We had falafel plate which was sooo filling.. I could die eating everyday here 😋 I love how they keep it low key but never skimp out on asking if everything was up to expectations!! My friends loved this place too.

Good food. Mediocre chips and a bit pricey but the falafel dishes more than make up for it. Highly recommend the falafel packet it was absolutely amazing. I had it with israeli salad, red cabbage salad,chilli sauce and tahini.

I found this to be really satisfying food. I ordered the falafel pocket with the lot and they seriously packed it in. It was not only huge and filling but also tasty. I was sad though that they had ran out of pickles which were obviously quite popular as someone came in after me to order just that.

A gf and I were looking for a healthy option tonight, so we found Falafel Omisi an attractive choice. It was our first time, not familiar with the sauces, the gentleman behind the service station actually offered me to taste those sauces (i.e. chili and salsa) on falafels. I thought that was really nice! The falafel plate was great value and has heaps of veggies, super content with the food and service!

10/10 for vegan who want a good middle eastern option. I believe they won some awards for falafel making and I must say that this is delicious, customer friendly and they try to go the extra mile. I have had take always, eaten in the restaurant and also had them cater a work function.

I had a falafel in Pita with salads and chips and I felt like I was in down town in the Middle East.

It is worth trying and you won't be disappointed.

I went there alone a few months ago, returned with a BD girlfriend a fortnight later & tonight brought my family.
Very fresh tasty falafel plate & Milawach wrap were "just what the Doctor orders!" 
The staff were helpful & obliging.

The ambience isn't anything special here, but the staff were warm and created a nice vibe and experience. I had a falafel pocket with the lot, which was certainly edible, and had a nice texture, but it was a bit bland considering that it had everything on it.
The guys there were cool enough that I think they deserve a second shot, so I'll probably go again to try a different item from the menu at some point.

Epic Falafel that will turn any frown upside down.

Complete with pickles too...and vegan options.

Yum!

Caulfield Park + Sun + Falafel Omisi = Best Sunday ever.

The guys that work here are the biggest characters - you will always walk out with a massive smile on your face.

Make falafel...not war.

I strongly believe the  little falafel is really underrated in Melbourne.  As a result, it's hard to find fresh falafels in Melbourne. This is probably the best and I suggest you check it out.

Loved my delicious falafel pocket from Falafel Omisi this evening - it was delish! It was my fist time there but it definitely won't be my last! The pocket was filled with lots of falafel balls, salad, dip & a dash of chili. The service was very helpful & friendly! 😊

The Falafel Plate is one of my favourite dishes in Melbourne. The Malawach Wrap is also fantastic for times you can tempt yourself away from the platter. The tables can be fair sticky - but, eh, I'm willing to overlook that because these guys hit a quadruple bottom line... It is delicious, healthy (them veggies), filling and CHEAP. We all love saving that cheddar. Bonus points for the grape drink. The ladyfriend and I love it.

Great falafel pitas. Fresh, clean & basic salads and tasty chips. Dips too are excellent. Only gripe with this restaurant is the UberEats menu - can’t seem to order anything without a can of drink or do custom orders.

Went there for a quick bite to eat for dinner. Was pleasantly surprised with the freshness & the quality of the food. We had the falafel platter which was accompanied by pickled red & white cabbage, sliced pickles, finely sliced tomato & cucumber. The hummus & the marriage of texture & flavor was simply amazing. The side of hand cut fresh chips brought back memories of my childhood. If you're in the area drop in & see for yourself how amazing the food is, you will not be disappointed.

The most awesome falafel I've ever tasted in Australia. As good as what you get at Twins Falafel in Ramatgan, Tel Aviv, which is my gold standard. I usually buy a bag of 10 for $5 and enjoy them hot with a tahini.

Had a falafel with chips and drink meal deal and found it great value for money. The falafel was better than some I've had in the past, and the salad went well with it. The chips were very tasty and had crunch which is always a winner for me when it comes to hot chips! I really liked the great choice of salads and everything looked super fresh- no limp lettuce to be found here. The guy who served me was very friendly and helpful in answering any questions I had. The love and pride of the staff really shines through in their food. I also loved the photos on the walls which depicted the family's history, and which I have a soft spot for as my parents were immigrants in the late 50's and early 60's. This is now my regular falafel haunt.

Felafel- A street food staple of the Middle East turned into one of the best vegetarian delights in the world. A small menu and simple venue with a chaotic and fast pace ambiance -Omisi reminds me of the hustle and bustle of the lanes ways of old Jerusalem city. The felafel here are fresh served with a range of salads with tahini based sauces. The open plate is as colorful and bright as the Mediterranean sun. Love the white, soft and fresh pita bread. Perfect for reasonably priced and nutritious fast food with authentic flavors and excellent quality!

I had the falafel pita with the lot and a side of chips ($14).
I was quite surprised by the ratings on here for their falafel, as I didn't find it outstanding - I've definitely had better.
Overall the pita was pretty good, and it's me being nit-picky but it would be better if the toppings in the pita were a little more evenly spread so it's not all coleslaw and falafel the first several mouthfuls and then cucumber salad at the bottom with no falafel. It had chilli (apparently), but it was clearly not hot chilli as there was no heat on the pita.
I'd eat here again, although not in a hurry as there are many more vego places I want to try first.

My Israelis housemate took me here, he told me the hummus is very authentic, and told me repeatedly that "these guys knows what they r doing!" I have always love falafel , this is different than what I use to have, and I like it. Pita pocket is huge filled with salad and falafel. Very filling and satisfying. My bf loved the wrap, which reminds us Chinese spring onion cake, beautiful fluffy layers wrap, crispy and tasty.

My brother and I just started a vegetarian challenge for reason I am not going to get into now, but I don't think that it will be much of a challenge with all these falafels in my pita. They have only been open a week or two and I have already been there two or three times it's that good.

The falafel is one of the better ones ive had in Melbourne. The pickles and onions in the pocket arent the best but the tahini is really authentic. The pita bread is really soft n fresh too but the Chips are really really bad. Give those a miss. But i would definitely go back for the falafels. Not a very friendly counter with some seriously intense and grumpy faces on the front desk. Customer service is a total thumbs down.

I Falafell in love. I am self proclaimed falafel freak and Falafel Omisi has to be the best falafel-ery in Melbourne. I've found that Melbourne generally has a poor selection of vegetarian middle eastern/mediterranean food and Omisi has to be a breath of fresh air for this signature dish of the kings!

The staff is always friendly, the menu selection is wide enough to keep you interested but with few enough dishes to keep the quality very high.

The falafel is divine, as they fry the falafel balls fresh in the shop, the hummus and tahini was creamy and fresh as was the salad.

They have a pretty active Facebook page and tend to keep you informed about their happenings and times which one needs to check before hand as they can be closed at strange times, but trust me, it's worth the effort.

The price of dishes is bit higher than one would expect, but the quantity and quality of food in flavour and service quite easily justifies the cost, especially considering the many health benefits of this cuisine.

The ambience and seating is cozy and comfortable.

Overall Falafel Omisi does a stellar job of providing fantastic vegetarian food in a country which doesn't tend to do too much for those considerate of animals. Keep it up!

We had the Falafel Pocket (Crisp Falafel balls made fresh from Secret family recipe served in pita pocket with your choice of middle-eastern inspired salads, hummus and tahina made fresh daily).

This falafel restaurant is pretty much as close as you're gonna get to the real thing that you would expect to eat in the heart of Tel Aviv.
You are always sure to get fast and friendly service and even get first name basis treatment from the staff and owner.
The food is always fresh and absolutely delicious not only to the eye (fabulous presentation) but also you can be sure to satisfy your taste buds and leave with a full tummy!
The sabich is one of my favourite dishes..traditional iraqi dish with ftied eggplant, hard boiled egg, potatoes, salads finished off with their homemade tahina! Wow!!!
I love this place and I highly recommend it to all...especially if you're looking for value for quantity and quality!

No frills falafels. Falafel Omisi is a small "no frills" sort of falafel place serving Israeli-style kosher food to the locals.

Their falafels are fresh and crunchy, served in a pita pocket with tahini and a few Israeli-style salads. The only criticism I would have is that the size of the falafel pocket was a bit on the small side, so I can imagine some bigger eaters being a little hungry afterwards. Luckily for me, I ordered a side serve of chips which was more than enough to fill the gap.

While not the best falafels I have ever had, it was an enjoyable meal.

Falafel Om-noms. Just had a falafel pocket, it was sensational! Best falafels I've encountered to date, crunchy and delicious. Their hummus is tops and the pitas were soft. For the tabouli lovers, this place doesn't cater but you won't even mind because the salads taste great in place. There is lots of falafel competition around these parts and this is one of the best. . Can't wait to try the 'Sabich' (Fried eggplant with a boiled egg served in a pita pocket with choice of salads, hummus and tahina). Yummo!

In the Pocket. Falafel Omisi's falafel balls are nice & light, and have a lovely crisp golden exterior. Served in a pita pocket with a variety of salads, hummus, tahina and optional chilli, Falafel Omisi's version of this Middle Eastern favourite is one of the more memorable I've encountered.

Dine in space is a tad limited with seating available for just a dozen patrons; however it's the sort of meal that's not hard to eat on the run.

Crisp and delicious. Seeing a new falafel restaurant opening in the neighbourhood I had to give it a go. Thumbs up to Falafel Omisi for serving up a delicious, generous portion of crisp salad (with very little oil or fatty dressing - competitors in Kooyong Road, take note!!) and crunchy, flavourful falafel balls without the garlicky residue befouling most other kinds. Easy, breezy, beautiful and LOCAL - fantastic.
