The fast-food style menu options listed above the cash till could lead you to believe the food is prepared with speed and expertise. Neither was the case. We ordered the full pocket. I was hoping for the full Israeli style preparation of a large, generously filled felafel, oozing with tahini, and chilli - it is excellent fast food that's healthy and fresh and can be eaten on the run. At Mama Felafel, we watched a clumsy staff member tweezer very mean selections then top it with three tiny falafels. The bread was split in the process of filling it so the final presentation in a plastic basket was underwhelming and mean. I suggest that to survive and build a large loyal following, Mama Falafel management should make an effort - be generous with portions, learn to fill a pocket like a pro. The indifference of the staff and the poor presentation at Mama Felafel does not bode well for the survival of this place.

I don't know why it took me so long to ever try a meal here. It's always busy, with lines out the…read moredoor at times, and people lining up for take away coffees. Tried it today for the first time ever, and I was glad I did. The breakfast and brunch menu have some different items than the rest of the cafes in Melbourne (who all have pretty much the same menus). While I only chose the Eggs Benedict with Smoked Salmon, the others in the group had different items, and we all enjoyed what we had. The service is friendly, the decor is lovely, the food is tasty. IF I had to be picky over anything, it would be the pricing. I do think some items were really high, especially for things you can easily make at home. Also, no effort whatsoever to attempt any substitutions with things in a dish. With that said, I'd definitely come back again. It was also a really nice touch that they gave me a complimentary cupcake with sparkler for my birthday. It just made the whole experience that little nicer still.

While very traditional salads, I just found most of them to be either bland or odd tasting. Most of them are just mayonnaise with some other ingredients. The few that don't have mayonnaise aren't even worth mentioning. The only salad I've really liked there is the fruit salad - but I found it to be inconsistent. Sometimes it tastes like it's been sitting out for several days. Do yourself a favor, go here eat the chicken and chips and leave the rest. You'll live it that way.

They also have a range of tasty treats for take away like spurilina balls and sugar-free slices. Well worth a visit.

Modelled loosely on huge salad bars in the states, you can either choose from a pre-set salad, or assemble it according to your choice. All the topping options are on display for you to pick and choose, and the servings are enormous. One of their build your own salads could EASILY feed two people, and act as a side salad for 3-4 people. It must be said, the options are very basic, and I would imagine that having some more gourmet choices would completely revamp the concept. Instead of thawed peas, why not offer tortilla strips? Many of the options are a little more reminiscent of a camp buffet than a high-end salad bar. Still, a good option for a healthy choice.

What more could you want. The calamari was average and quite a small serving. I wouldn't bother with that next time round. Service was quick and friendly . Staff were lovely.

The food was impeccable as always and transports you straight back to a holiday long ago on a Greek island, with the Mediterranean sun warming your skin, that feeling of eating and drinking way too much (but not stopping) and washing your gluttonous sins away with a bob based dip in a very salty sea with a carafe or two of rosé waiting for you on the shore.
