"Incredibly rude owner"
"One of the best falafal I've had"
"Are these the best felafels in melbourne? I reckon they might be"
"My friends have been raving about their falafels and after trying it out for myself, it was indeed the best falafels and baklava I’ve ever had! Their falafels (& cauliflowers) are delicious and made all other falafels fade in comparison"
"If there weren't so many scroungy pigeons and there were a few large plants/pot plants around, this would be an even better "square," well ok Mall then, — C'mon Council get in and make it shady and pleasant for Summer"
Incredibly rude owner. Sitting out the front having a coffee and reading and he comes out rude, no introduction or explaination telling me to leave and physically shooing his arms at me. Theres never any reason to physically touch someone like that in public. There is a right way to address someone and be respectful, and being rude and gruff and waving your arms at someone is not it. I recognise discrimatory behaviour when its done to me. Other people similarly using the tables were not treated the same. Unfortunately there are people like this in the community, avoid this place, there are better, respectful places to be around in this area.
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

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!).

My friends have been raving about their falafels and after trying it out for myself, it was indeed the best falafels and baklava I’ve ever had! Their falafels (& cauliflowers) are delicious and made all other falafels fade in comparison. The baklavas aren’t as sweet as most other ones, which is perfect for me because I often find baklavas too sweet for my liking. The male owner was also super friendly to us. 10/10 will come back.
If there weren't so many scroungy pigeons and there were a few large plants/pot plants around, this would be an even better "square," well ok Mall then, — C'mon Council get in and make it shady and pleasant for Summer. Maybe a cooling foot bath pool. Meri-bek you need to think outside the Square!

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.

Falafel Plate
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.

Authentic Egyptian food. Been going there for almost 10 years. Same high quality of service. Friendly staff. Colibaba is a must try. Foul plate is my favourite for who love fava beans. Falafel always fresh and delicious. Option to buy raw falafel and cook at home.

I eat here maybe twice a month. I love everything here and never imagined how good falafel can taste especially as they cook it when you order. So it's always super crispy and nice. I love it with the baba ghanoush or the haloumi. Or both! I can't wait to come back.

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 :)
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

Amazingly good falafel wraps that are cheap as chips. $8 for a wrap with 3 falafels and a choice of fillings is simply amazing value. The falafels are fried fresh to order by the friendly staff. It's fascinating watching them expertly assemble the tasty wraps. Highly recommended
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! More
Delicious falafel - love the Halloumi and Half Moon. Only downside is having to wait outside in the cold for your wrap.

Half Moon Falafel Wrap
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
I don't really eat Falafel, but this was very tasty. The baba ganoush wrap is nice.

I love this cafe!!! I appreciate that they’re not on any of the delivery apps - you have to go in-person and it’s worth it. On a weekend you might have to wait a little bit. I’ve tried all the felafel wraps and they were all delicious.
Absolutely the best felafels in Melbourne, and have been for years. I will walk through fire to eat here. EDIT: Still the best, worth the 40m round trip. Thank you Half Moon Cafe!

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

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! More
Easily the best falafel wrap I have ever had - the half moon wrap is perfect, every flavour is perfectly balanced and the wrap itself doesn't degrade into a dripping mess like the wraps from other places
Amazing falafel wraps. Would recommend the “half moon”

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.

Hands down the best falafel of my life. halloumi is a winner. Huge portion, friendly service and it comes out quickly.

A hidden gem for sure, as out-of-towners this was a shot in the dark and am I gave these guys a shot! I could go vegetarian if I could eat those falafels every day!
Half moon is an institution. Really freakin amazing felafels every time!! We always phone order 15 minutes before and it’s hot and ready in time every time
Most amazing falafel, salads and fried halloumi. Everything is super fresh and tasty. It’s expensive but you get so much, so it’s definitely worth it More
They make the best falafel in Melbourne, been going there for many years, they won awards for their falafel try it, you won't be disappointed,. More
Yummy ..very good falafel .. clean fresh ...highly recommended.. very nice staff ..I changed my order twice but the staff were very nice .. thanks
One of the best falafel places in Coburg, Great choice of filling for your wrap or grab a plate. Definitely worth going to if you are in the area!
Fresh fried falafels, top ingredients, great balance of flavours. Had the namesake kebab (Half Moon) and for $8, I'll definitely be coming back.
Fantastic and crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside falafels combined with amazing service and even better baklava. A definite must try.
Absolutely the best falafel in Melbourne! The pickles are perfect, the falafel is crisp and soft while the pita is just right. More
