What makes this place different from any regular donor kebab shop is the self service salad bar. Plenty of options to choice from and all look freshly made.
Falafel bites are also freshly made to order.
Had a salad bowl here which you construct yourself from the counter, such a tasty selection and some of the best falafel I’ve ever had! Would highly recommend as a quick lunch stop off
Very fresh salad selection. The garlic sauce and hummus were a perfect match with the baby falafels. I live the bucket of hot chilli sauce/oil at the end. Serve yourself just the way you like your pitta. ♥️ this place.
Absolutely love this place! Their food, salads and falafel are so tasty and it’s all fresh. I love the idea of self serving and in regards to food, I have no complaints. The only thing I find is that it’s a little pricy (mainly the pockets) considering the interior is not cozy at all and it’s self service. Would recommend for a snack on the hand, eating in is cold and uncomfortable.
This place should be 5 stars! Best falafels I’ve ever had! Get the falafel and salad box/plate and you can just serve yourself up a huge plate of yummy salads, falafels and dips! Soo many vegan options and the flavours are delicious and full on! Service is sometimes a little rude but I don’t really care when the food is amazing.
The falafel is delicious, the staff are friendly and the wait-time is reasonable. Only issue is that the service is a bit inconsistent in that the ingredients within the falafel kebab wraps I get are positionally distributed in a drastically different way each time and they're often wrapped horribly; plus the chips are cooked differently each time (sometimes harder, softer, more salt, less salt etc) and the prices and deals can change suddenly like how the price for the kebab wrap was randomly raised recently or how you used to be able to choose a small or regular serve of chips with it but now you can only get one size. Regardless, overall I've tried many falafel kebab wraps over the years and the ones here are still my absolute favourite :)
Wonderful service by lovely woman serving us tonight. First she tantalised us with tasting opportunities, so we went in and gave it a try. Definitely worth while, fresh, tasty food with plenty of good choices.
Falafels are so good here! Some of the best I've had. Self serve salads are really yum and fresh. It's great as you can get as much as you'd like. Everything is clearly labeled whether it's vegan/vegetarian/gluten free etc.
This place is so, so good!
The falafels are amazing- crunchy, fresh and full of flavour. They're made right in front of you, and you can always have a free sample. There are a mix of 6 -10 salads every day, though it changes and you'll never know when your favourite will come back, which can be a bit annoying.
The hommus is light and beautiful, and the pickled mango chutney is delicious. Other favourites include the baba ganoush, the pickled turnip, the fresh pita and the lamb, sweet potato and carrot salad.
Truthfully, there is no dip or salad I don't like from here. I always get the take away containers so I can have the food during the week!
It isn't exactly a nice place to sit down for a cosy meal, it is definitely more a casual juice bar and take away / quick meal cafe. Can be cold, but the food makes up for it, trust me!
My go-to lunch place. A while back Falafel Extra lured me in with free samples and since then I have turned into the biggest advocate for this place. The falafels are the best I've ever tasted and they have so many delicious and healthy options for lunch. Sometimes I get falafel wraps, a self-serve salad container or just plain falafels for a snack. Either way I always love it! I always tell my friends to go there when they're in St Kilda too.
Falafel King. Eaten my fair share of kebabs and falafels during my poor student days and this is one of the best.
Great balls of awesomeness
I work down acland st...n i go here more often than not...great variety n a healthier option too
Super salads!. The pick and mix style salad take away tubs were great! u can fit so much more in there than you realise, the felafels are always fresh, and the salads are quite moreish. a regular lunchbreak at work place for me
Vegan Paradise!. I love this place!! it is just amazing, I can not pick anything bad with any of there Veg food...
best falafels i have ever had (and i have had alot!)
eggplant dip is to die for! salads are great!
Highly recommended! =)
Best Falafels EVER!. I stumbled across this place when I was hungover on a Saturday morning (afternoon) and thought that it would be a safe healthy option. We were given taste testers when we first which is always a good sign. The falafels were amazing and we watched them being made so they were nice and fresh. I think I'll make this a regular hangover cure.
Falafel extra is well worth the money - they have loads of salad options available, and with the make your own - the servings are really generous.
With a stacked plate of VEGAN options - left here very full and very happy. The Falafel is so so good.
Staff were really nice and outlined all the options and had a good chat with us as to what is in the area.

The falafel place has real good ones:) reminded me of ones in Paris! Had Falafel wraps twice! The papers wrapping the wrap was quite tight so hard to eat as I go on eating but I definitely loved the taste of this wrap. Beautiful👍🏻!
I'm not sure if this is the same business or if they are under a new name management?! But this location whatever they're under now has been around for a near 30 years!!! That's a long time right here before vegetarian/vegan food even became an in thing for the last 5 years. As a kid around 1990 myself and my friends back then were always appreciate of the free falafels they handed out and only more till now that I'm transcending towards vegetarian food (still have chicken/fish once in a while) I'm even more thankful for how long these guys have been around and how they have stood the test of time. An original st. kilda business here support them where you can?! And I hope they will still be around as 1990 to 2019+ is still a great legacy here.
