Heaven is a Tahina pita

My first experience of vegan food in Melbourne and not a disappointment! Very busy and not designed for customers to linger, but that's true to the nature of street food places. Think old time burger bar, with stools at a long counter, you eat and go and you pretty much have it.

I chose the green falafel pita pocket and my omni partner went with the red shakshuka. Talk about amazing! Absolutely loved every part of this. The pita was thick and pillowy, nothing like supermarket versions and the amount of food! Definitely filling! My partner enjoyed his meal as well.

I made the mistake of ordering a vegan chocolate souffle when I ordered my meal and by the time I finished I didn't know where I'd find room for dessert - but when it came, I quickly found room. Though a small dessert, it's packed with rich, gooey chocolatey goodness. Definitely not something to miss.

This would be the perfect place for a group to grab a meal then head to a nearby park for a relaxed, shared picnic.

Pros: Volume of food, Delicious, The chocolate souffle!

Cons: Not suitable for group dining

sumptuous

Popped in for a takeaway pita. The staff member who took my order was pretty aloof and I didn't feel particularly comfortable, tbh. Oh well. I ordered the Sabbich and asked for the egg to be replaced with cauliflower. The guy that cooked my pita was friendly and the food was delicious so I soon forgot the surly waitress. Soft, fresh pita; tart pickled cabbage; silky, deep-fried eggplant; cauliflower so deliciously crispy at the edges; hearty, almost gritty (in a good way) hummus. Delicious! Can't wait to try more.
