Love it! Food is fresh, authentic and super yum. Not the usual falafel place. They do Egyptian falafel, which is with broad beans rather than chickpeas, so it’s not as dry. They also use lots of interesting side dips and pickles, which you’d rarely find elsewhere. The outdoor seating area is very pleasant in a warm day - it’s in a pedestrian-only mall, isolated from traffic. In winter, I imagine the best option would be take-away as they indoor area is quite small with a couple of seats. They lady (owner??) who took our order at the counter was extremely helpful and explained different options to us patiently, waiting for us to decide.
Best falafel in Melbourne!
I did not like falafel before, but this converted me. Extremely delicious and satisfying especially when eaten fresh. We used to drive 1 hour just to get here! Very friendly service!
Our go to falafel place. Actually the only falafel place we go to. Tried their traditional, half moon and colibaba wraps and would say the half moon with chilli is my favourite. Occasionally the falafel can be a bit dry and hard but most often then not its a hit. Service is standard. Usually busy. Limited seating inside, few tables outside. Would recommend.
Cheap and cheerful Egyptian-style falafel and shawarma spot - pretty low key in terms of ambience but the delicious food and friendly service more than makes up for it. The falafels are perfectly done: crisp on the outside, bright green and soft on the inside and very tasty. For $17 you get a plate of four falafels, generous scoops of hummus, tzaziki and smoky baba ganoush, pickles (several kinds), tabbouli, chickpea salad and pita. Enough for two people! Just straight up good food. Recommended.
The best falafels I’ve ever had🥰 they’re to die for. They’re good in the wraps too, but are best eaten on their own imo as the other ingredients overpower the falafel. All their dishes are good value and have yet to be disappointed by anything. This is a no-frills experience but you’re guaranteed amazing food!
I googled best falafel in Melbourne and half moon cafe came up so I had to give it a go. Wasn’t disappointed! By far the best I have tasted, and the service couldn’t have been better too. Fantastic!
Couldn’t fault it. I got a half moon lamb and all the ingredients were tasty and fresh. The hummus is especially good. Service friendly and for such a busy little shop they know exactly who ordered what. My only regret is not ordering falafel - I’m usually wary as I hate dry falafel but the reviews here have me thoroughly convinced. Next time.
ETA: had falafel the other day. Amazing.
Half Moon Café is situated in the Coburg central mall area which is bustling especially on the weekends giving a very upbeat atmosphere. The falafel was particularly delicious, bread went well with the plate and coffee was well made. A standout was their baklava which was very fragrant, sweet and tasty.
It's no wonder everyone raves about Half Moon. That serve some of the freshest, healthiest and most affordable falafels in Melbourne. The best part is the wide range of condiment combos. All are good but my favourites are the chickpea and hummus, haloumi or eggplant and cauliflower options. The haloumi slices are large and moderately fried and generously portioned. The housemade pickles are a must-have addition to any wrap, as is the nutty tahini. If you're craving something sweet after the meal, a piece of rich, vegan baklava will do you right.
i came here with my friends and we had the Falafel. it was so good!! the falafel was perfect, and the other ingredients were yum and all went so well together! We got to speak to the owners for a little bit and they are so lovely! Loved my eating experience here, cant wait to come again :)
Extremely fresh and delicious falafels - even when it's really busy, they make the falafels to order. Very well-priced and generous servings. Highly recommend!
Its been a long time waiting to give this review half moon has the Best falafel in Melbourne! I have been eating here for 6 years and never had a dud wrap, the family are very friendly and welcoming and i have never waited long considering the falafel is freshly made. I get the colibaba with halloumi and hot sauce, Amazing flavor combo! To think I didn’t even like falafel before i was introduced to half moon.
Consistently excellent falafel. One of the best I've ever tried out of a whole lot. Great prices too
They have the best falafel in Melbourne. The food was so delicious (try Colibaba, you won’t be disappointed). Everything was so clean and fresh. Great customer service and the staffs are very friendly. Highly recommended 👌🏻
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.
Best Falafel in Melbourne! The Falafel is cooked fresh, the taste is unbelievable and the serving is generous. To top it off the customer service is friendly and to the point. I can't wait to come back again.
My absolute favourite felafel in all of Melbourne, I get cravings for it if it has been too long. The freshest ingredients, best flavour and superior service. I love the half moon kebab and the falafel plate, but also strongly recommend the ful medames in the cooler months for a nourishing and tasty dish.
