About Wazzup Falafel

Crispy on the outside and airy within, Northcote’s Wazzup Falafel dishes out authentic Palestinian street food with unmatched generosity. Step up to the counter and the crew often hands you a piping-hot falafel straight from the fryer before you even order. Regulars go straight for the special pita pocket—stuffed to bursting with crunchy falafel, fried cauliflower, eggplant, and rich hummus. Recitations of Quranic surahs play softly in the background, keeping the room calm and centered while you wash it down with hot mint tea.

  • Complimentary greeting bites: Warm hospitality starts at the counter with a freshly fried falafel handed over while you decide.
  • Loaded special pita pockets: Pita pockets arrive packed with crisp falafel, fried eggplant, cauliflower, and creamy hummus.
  • Tranquil acoustic sanctuary: Soft Quranic recitation replaces standard commercial playlists for a calm, soulful dining room.

Why Guests Choose Wazzup Falafel

Discover why guests choose Wazzup Falafel for authentic cuisine, warm hospitality, and a tranquil dining setting.

  • Crisp and airy authentic Levantine falafel

    Light, freshly fried falafel wraps and pita pockets feature crisp shells and fluffy, tender centers paired with house-made breads and dips.

    The falafel is perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside

  • Substantial portions with genuine value

    Large stuffed pita pockets and generous falafel boxes offer substantial portions easily shared between diners at accessible prices.

    Falafel was huge for $17. Definitely could share that between two people.

    L Khoo

  • Complimentary fresh-fried greeting samples

    Guests are greeted with complimentary freshly fried falafel samples while ordering or waiting, embodying generous Middle Eastern hospitality.

    Whenever I have been there I have also been given free falafels while ordering!

  • Personal and hospitable table care

    Warm, attentive hosting makes diners feel welcomed like family entering a home rather than standard transactional counter patrons.

    They treat customers like they’ve invited you into their own home — friendly, welcoming, and genuinely caring.

    Savan Patel

  • Serene, acoustic dining sanctuary

    Soft Quranic recitation replaces commercial radio or pop playlists, establishing a peaceful, spiritually grounding respite.

    What made the experience even more special for me was hearing Quran being played instead of music.

    Fatma Al-Raeesi

  • Calm cultural oasis to unwind

    The dining room offers a calming Middle Eastern retreat to recharge peacefully away from noisy urban distractions.

    A little Palestinian oasis to recharge the batteries.

Beyond the menu

Thoughtful Palestinian hospitality touches and serene atmospheric details that elevate casual dining

  • Arrival Falafel Samples

    Guests are welcomed at the counter or while queuing with a complimentary hot, freshly fried falafel to sample before deciding on their order.

  • Quranic Recitation Atmosphere

    Instead of commercial or loud background music, the dining area features peaceful Quranic recitations that create a calm, sanctuary-like environment.

  • Home-Guest Hospitality

    Guests are treated like family visitors in a home, with hospitable staff personally guiding diners through options and extending generosity to everyone, including delivery couriers.

Before you head over

Practical guidance on portions, spice customization, and ordering at Wazzup Falafel.

  • Plan to Share Larger Pockets

    Portions here are notably generous; consider sharing a single stuffed pita pocket or falafel box between two people if you are a lighter eater.

  • Request Mild Spice if Sensitive

    Dishes like the foul and stuffed falafel carry an inherent chili kick; ask the chefs when ordering to adjust spice levels to mild if you prefer lower heat.

  • Anticipate a Calm Counter Service

    Guests often receive fresh falafel samples while waiting in line, and seating is accompanied by soft Quranic audio rather than background radio music.
