The best falafels on the planet! Bondi might be out of the way for some but the trip is well worth it. The food is excellent and the owners are very friendly and polite. Service is always quick and with a smile. This is only place that I'll go to for falafels ant pitas!

Savion serves up falafel like you've never had it before. Crunchy on the outside, moist yet fluffy on the inside, and laced with a concoction of finely chopped herbs, these deep-fried, chickpea puree balls are so much more than the typical garlic laden, late night snack edible only by drunkards' standards.
On the corner of Wairoa Avenue, this unassuming diner sits further enough back from the beach and Bondi's busy bars that it doesn't typically have hoards of people walking through the doors. This lack of patronage I initially took to be an indication of local's disapproval - a recent visit disproving this theory altogether.
For $14, I ordered the unexpectedly massive falafel plate - five of them, plus the sauce of your choice (I went for a rich tomato puree) along with three salads (I ended up with the roast eggplant, tabouleh and cucumber and tomato options). They even gave me a little pot of tahini upon insistence. The restaurant space is pretty big considering the tiny counter from which to order, and is rarely populated in full, while the fluoro lighting doesn't do much in the way of ambience. Dismiss these minor points, and you're in for a deliciously affordable meal, Israeli style.
