Half Moon Cafe in Coburg has to be the place that makes the best falafels, plenty of options to add to your wrap & bloody delicous - highly recommend

Approximate cost: $12

Best falafel wraps, also do a share platter that is Delicious. Great coffee, lovely people. Only a few tables inside- the place is small and busy. Many sit outside, lovely on a sunny day. Highly recommend.

I'm not a fan of falafels but this cafe has made me a fan. Try the Half Moon wrap, a winning combination of smashed falafels, hummus, olives, pickles and a touch of chilli. This made my tastebuds do a little dance....yum yum. The toasted lamb kebabs are also a ripper.Very nice owner as well. A happy man who likes to talk to his customers about his days in Egypt

Approximate cost: $9

I went on a busy Sunday afternoon and the service wasn't great - took them a while to acknowledge me let alone serve me, and subsequently (after a long wait) mixed up my order. But now I've got that over with - it doesn't really. For a delicious, fresh wrap full of tasty ingredients, for only $8.50!! One can't be too fussy. If only they were open at dinner time too

Pretty easy to miss this little shop, and it is not the most inviting from the outside, but they make a great felafel wrap. Friendly service inside as well.

Classic secret gem - you'd walk right past it, but this place has the most delicious, freshest falafel, kebabs and stuff I've ever had in Melbourne

Approximate cost: $7

I can't believe I have lived in Coburg for years and years, yet I only discovered Half Moon a year ago.

It is nothing to look at. I've walked past it hundreds of times without even noticing it. There are a few tables outside, and even fewer inside. It gets very crowded at lunchtimes. They make the falafel to order, so you may have to wait a while if they're very busy.

But, OMG, the falafel. They are divine. Being made to order, they are hot and fresh and crunchy and spicy and wonderful. They haven't been sitting for hours inside a wrap, getting cold and stodgy, like you see them at a lot of fast food places.

If you are accustomed to Lebanese-style falafel, made with chickpeas, then Half Moon's may come as a surprise. They are Egyptian style, made with broad beans, and are green inside. And - at the risk of starting a war between Lebanon and Egypt - in my humble opinion the Egyptian ones are better.

They make about five or six different types of falafel wraps, although are happy to tweak them a bit if you want something slightly different from what's listed on the menu. Their most popular falafel wrap is the Half Moon, a traditional type filled with falafel, pickles, chickpeas, tabouli, yoghurt, and other yummy stuff. It's excellent, but my favourite falafel wrap is the Primavera, which contains chargrilled vegetables. It is truly fabulous. As soon as I walk into the cafe, whoever's behind the counter says "you want the Primavera again?" And now that I've said that, they'll know who I am if they're reading this, because I think I'm almost the only person who orders the Primavera. So much for trying to keep my identity secret here on WOMO.

No matter how busy they are, Sharif and Nabil and their staff are always friendly and welcoming. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. If you live anywhere near Coburg and you like falafel, you must try it. If you don't live near Coburg, it is worth crossing the city for. I've eaten a lot of falafel in my time, but I have never found better than this. It must be a strong contender for the best falafel in Melbourne.

Now, if they'd only open in the evenings, I could die happy. There's nothing worse than getting a falafel craving at 6pm after they've closed for the day.

Great place to dine for a small dinner lunch breakfast etc. make a nice coffee says my dad and a good hot chocolate so overall its good. i would go again

Possibly the best falafel in Melbourne. In a little outdoor mall that is nice in warm weather it is situated in an outdoor walk through where other little cafes are.
