Maybe I came here when they were having a bad day, but this place is nothing like it used to be. It’s been years since I ate here and having just moved back into the area, I was keen to try what I believed were the best falafels south of the river. The service was okay, but the falafel and salads simply were not. The falafel was barely crunchy on the outside, and was mushy on the inside. It had the texture of children’s food. The serving of salad was tiny for the price (four falafels are $3.60, meaning the salad is about $6), and they were not great. One of the salads had heaps of small, shrivelled peas. Hardly appetising. The only redeeming factor were the complimentary fried pita chips. After years of devouring Just Falafs and Tahina on the north side, I’m afraid to say the Falafal Man falls far short of these institutions.
Big call but this is the best falafel in Melbourne. Crunchy exterior, moist inside, packed with flavour. There’s so much sad dry falafel in the world so when you find a good one you embrace with open arms.
I fluctuate between getting a plate or a pita pocket depending on how I feel. Both are amazing options. I love the free samples of their pita chips- they are so addictive.
There’s always a line because people know this is good. It’s one of the few places in Melbourne I’m willing to wait in line for. You haven’t tried falafel until you’ve been to the felafel man.
Ordered the lunch plate with the lot which consisted of 4 falafels, salad, pickled veg, couscous and 2 x half pita pockets (1 pocket). There are also condiments and deep fried pita chips for crunch at no extra cost. Enjoyed my meal. Falafels were nice and moist!! Good value but the serving of salads could be bigger. Would consider coming back for a bag of falafels on their own!!
