Rate: 4.0/5 (2018 for $11 menu)
came here today (sunday) 12:00 lunch. There was already a line! Go inside and write your name down! Waited about 15mins. We ordered: pumpkin 4 ways, vegan bao, cheeseburger (comes with curly chips). All $11
The good:
– everything is generous in portion (not limited, just because its $11)
– this $11 menu is well and truly WORTH IT. Especially cheeseburger (big portion, and lots of chips, very filling according to my guy friend).
– pumpkin 4 ways is so creative and fried pumpkin is delicious. They give ample quinoa and its complemented well with pumpkin seeds & puree
– staff are very warm and kind, allowed me to move to bigger table and were not pushy with us leaving even after we finished eating 🙂
– the menu is MY FAVOURITE with a HUGE diversity of tasty all day breakfast & lunch menu (including vegan, non-veg options)
Not so good:
– quite popular so there may be a line
– food can take long to get here
Overall, definitely coming back.
What a bargain this cafe is at the moment with $11 meals!! Fritters were good, their haloumi was amazing! Pancakes were so good!! A lot smaller than they look in the photos but awesome!
The food here is absolutely wonderful, and I was delighted to see that they had vegan waffles on the menu! The food is colourful and super tasty, and at $11 per dish it’s a great value. However, it took quite a while for us to get the food, the staff didn’t pay much attention to us once we had received the food either when we tried to ask them for a box to take our left overs in. The bathroom was a bit dirty and the music was so loud that it was hard to hear what people were saying. (*sponsored/free meal)

I had a great experience at this Middle-Eastern influenced cafe. I ordered one of their breakfast boards, which has a few samplings of everything. Everything was good, especially the fritter with avo, poached egg and accompanying capsicum salsa. The granola ws yummy, too. The mini-croissant was average.
Good coffee.
The place is modern, clean lines and decor, and very vibrant.
Some of the staff were really friendly, but others were totally the opposite. I visited late in the day, so it might be tiredness.
Ive read about this place and its $11 menu up to December of this year. I made sure to come in at a time that wouldnt be busy because I drove pass this place during the weekend and it was packed! Rightly so, you wont find all these dishes for so cheap elsewhere!
Presentation wise, its spot on. The Acai Smoothie Bowl was easy and delicious to eat. The Black Buckwheat Waffles lacked a bit. There needed to be something that stood out flavour wise maybe if the cashew cream was replaced with a stronger flavour like raspberry or something, that would help. The drinks were nice too.
On another note, I realised after going home that either we were overcharged by 50 cents or the menu was incorrect or there is a surcharge when paying by card (not stated anywhere on the menu or near the cash register). Clearly this is not a big deal, especially when the food is cheap, but I have to admit I do feel a little cheated when Ive paid for something that wasnt written on the menu
** NOTE: No split bills and no further discounts.
My personal experience at this cafe wont be bringing me back, however I won’t discourage anyone else from going to try it out themselves! Read on if youd like 🙂
| MY EXPERIENCE |
We were so excited try this $11 cafe that we drove almost an hour to get there, it was crazy busy and after standing around for a while I went up to a waitress and asked if we could get on the waitlist, she didnt tell me how long but just told me to sit down (A Hi! How are you would have been nice, as well as an estimated wait time).
We then proceeded to wait 40 minutes for a table.. and once our table was ready we waited even longer because the waiters forgot to tell us! However during this process we did get to chat and meet a lovely woman who I presumed was one of the owners. She did apologise for the wait and took us to our table.
I was S T A R V I N G by this point about to eat my own foot tbh so naturally we ordered a lot. And our first meal (the roti with crumbed egg) was yummy! I love how they put their own culture into the dish by adding a roti. But thats where it ended. BECAUSE THEY FORGOT OUR OTHER DISHES! I was so upset I didnt get to try their waffles or the sides we ordered no compensation was given and we just got up, paid and left. The owner apologised and again she seems lovely, but our personal experience overall saw service that needs to be more attentive / aware. We were so disappointed because we traveled so far for something that was just not worth it.
If you havent been to Muharam yet, now is the time to do it. All breakfast dishes on the menu are currently $11 for the year to celebrate their 11th anniversary.
Muharam is a cosy cafe located along Burwood Road in Hawthorn. I was fortunate on the morning I visited I didnt have to wait more than 10 minutes to be seated. However as the morning went on the line out the front started to grow. I recommend that you come early if you dont want to wait long.
Feeling like something savoury we opted for the smashed avo with added poached eggs and the big breakfast. I had the smashed avo, overall it wasnt bad however I would have preferred a crunchy sourdough rather than the chia loaf this dish came with.
My sister had the big breakfast which included eggs of your choice, bacon, mushrooms, avocado, spinach & rosti. I thought this offered great value for $11.
Overall we didnt mind our dishes however next time Id be interested in trying out their sweet options.
Ordinarily Id rate Muharam 3.5 out of 5, however Ive added an extra 0.5 because of the current promotion. Therefore I give Muharam out of 5.
