12/20Critics' PickUpdated September 24, 2026,first published October 27, 2025Knafeh NabulseyehMiddle Eastern$Dishing up shawarma and falafel that inspire obsession.People wait half an hour for this shawarma. For many, Knafeh Nabulseyeh’s perfectly proportioned wrap is an obsession. The chicken is good. The lamb is godly: intensely smoky, crisp and juicy, and just fatty enough, emblematic of all the good things that fire can do to meat.The thwack of parsley is palpable.The tahini is just present enough to lend its creamy, nutty blessing. It’s only a $16 sandwich, but it’s also so much more. Once you’ve secured the wrap, be sure to snaffle delicate cashew baklava and the shop’s namesake pastry – a cheese and kataifi layered situation that is worthy of its own obsession.Buy a slab as a treat for your next dinner party. Occasionally, a culinary moment is so powerful it becomes a core memory. This lamb sandwich, lovingly wrapped in a low-key Palestinian shop, lives rent-free in Coburg’s collective consciousness.Good to know: The herbaceous falafel are also some of the best in town.Good Food reviews are booked anonymously and paid independently.
