WHAT SYDNEY SAYS
"Transport yourself to Tel Aviv."
Have been enjoying the food, coffee and hospitality of this business for many many years. I cannot say enough about how amazing this place is. Corny but I have to say make this chapter a part of your next chapter.
Best coffee in Sydney. Owner is passionate about his coffee n food. Evident within the taste. Don't go bye without a try. It's all delicious 😋
Amazing Israeli food with friendly service! Fantastic and delicious brunch options, highly recommend the malawach-sabich (yemenite flat bread with eggplant and boiled egg), shawarma and açaí smoothie.
Great service from Issi with personal coffee detailed 🙂 Amazing food flavour! every time I challenge the menu and it is served perfect!
Authentic and amazing Middle Eastern food. The humus made on site is the best I’ve had in Australia. Definitely gonna make this my go to for felafel or shawarma from now on. 10/10
The food is amazing, everything is made fresh in house from the hummus, bread, falafel. Service is 10/10. They have a big menu and are happy to talk you through it.
3 of us came for breakfast and were blown away! Absolutely delicious flavours! I had the Malawachshuka, I’ve never had such delicious hummus- it was so creamy! My husband had the Malawach Sabich and the curry flavours were phenomenal! We’ll be back next Sydney trip for sure!
Amazing vibes this place. Owner Issi is a champion - gives me faith in humanity again. Lamb plate was incredible. Keep up the good work!
An amazing food! The staff were very kind and helpful, The service was awesome. Highly recommend Thank you so much 🙏🏻❤️
All good tout est très bon. Coffee and fresh food with bagel, sandwich... Friendly people. Merci
Had a shawarma wrap that was the best I had in town and great coffee after to call it the perfect lunch with a very good service makes it a highly recommended place in my opinion
Best shawarma I’ve had in Australia! Highly highly recommend, good vibes and warm service, you won’t be disappointed x
Excellent food and very fast & friendly service at this mostly takeaway cafe that serves Mediterranean and Middle Eastern food.There is seating inside and outside tables as well.I'd recommend the shakshuka( Mediterranean dish)which is their specialty along with the lamb falafel which is delicious.Scrambled eggs are done to perfection as are the sandwiches- all at reasonable prices that WON'T make you wish 'I shoulda had brekky at home'.Hghly recommended are the ' green omelette & green omelette sandwich '.Great coffee and delicious fruit smoothies like banana and berry.Staff are always hard working and fast serving while smiling along with the owner Izzy who's also very friendly and always has a smile- great team.
Nah this place is proper good. Food was an absolute banger, coffee was spot on and the staff were legends. Definitely coming back heaps!
Owner Izzy is passionate about his creations. All the food and drinks are made to perfection. His coffee is probably one of the very best in Sydney.-Well worth a visit from the city, if you ain't busy, to see n taste the reason Izzy is always busy.He is THE coffee God of Darlinghurst,is humble, understated,classic, alway happy friendly and cool 😎
Great food and great coffee at Chapter E. The shawarma took me straight back to Jerusalem — authentic flavour and a really good experience overall.
I lived around the corner for 2 years and never knew about this place. The lamb shawarma and the coffee were perfect. Couldn’t be better. Will be back here.
The food is excellent! Really fresh and tasty Mediterranean cuisine, and the workers there are so friendly
Food was unreal, coffee was amazing, and the owner and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend it to everybody.
Came in this morning and left feeling genuinely uplifted. Issi is one of those rare owners who puts real heart into everything, from the food, the atmosphere, and the conversation. You can tell he chooses his staff well too, because the team inside were warm, welcoming and on point the whole time. The shakshuka and iced latte were both excellent, and the spread of Middle Eastern sides is as authentic as it gets. But honestly it was the whole experience. The people, the food, the vibe is what made it memorable. A genuinely special little spot. I hope this place gets all the support it deserves. Will absolutely be back. 5 stars without hesitation.
I work around, and always come for a good Coffee. It’s cheaper than all the cafes in the area
This restaurant has that rare authentic quality where everything tastes fresh, honest, comforting, and thoughtfully prepared with real care. You can tell the food is homemade and made with pride, not shortcuts. Warm, genuine, and full of flavor—exactly the kind of place you hope to find and can’t wait to come back to.
Best shawarma in Sydney! Great Middle Eastern food and good atmosphere. Owner is really generous with the portions and smiling all the time you can tell it’s all made with love!! The only place who actually knows how to make flafels
I was in Potts Point today on business and finished absolutely starving. I could not help thinking of Chapter E, where I have eaten many times before, and it did not disappoint. The food is consistently delicious, beautiful hummus, tender meatballs, chilli sauce and marinated cucumbers, warm pita bread, all simple, fresh, and full of flavour. The coffee is excellent too. Izzy himself is a lovely man. I assume he is the owner, and his staff are always friendly and welcoming. It is very much a hole in the wall kind of place, but that is part of its charm, and it is absolutely worth seeking out. Honest food, done well, in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Highly recommended.
The owner is very nice and friendly. Coffee is really good and so it food . Prices are reasonable Highly recommend
The Malawach Sabich is one of the best things that you can eat in Sydney. Try it and change your world.

The Malawach Sabich is one of the best things that you can eat in Sydney. Try it and change your world.
Heartily recommended. Been here multiple times now. Usually on weekends for brunch. My favourite is the Shakshuka. The way they make it is delicious. I have also tried the chicken shwarma once which is also excellent. The staff is very friendly & accommodating (they recognize me by now, lol). I see myself going here regularly in the future.
Excellent little cafe. We had shakshuka with chorizo. It was a great portion and very delicious. Also had a coffee that was excellent and strong.... just what I needed in the morning. Service was quick and friendly.
Food is amazing, staff and owner were very friendly and accommodating. Portions were very good and super filling, flavours just amazing. It was so amazing that I had to drag my brother along my next visit, now he is a fan and dreams of visiting again when he is around Sydney. 😁 I hope they get a bigger place though, because I would love to bring more friends to try their food, great stuff ❤️
Very friendly service, bacon and egg roll with the spicy chilli sauce was delicious
Dropped by for a takeaway for the first time and omg the coffee was SO good. Reminded me of Melbourne . I’ll 100% be back, even if it’s a little out of the way. Worth it!
