Falafel near North Bergen, NJ

“If you are looking for a restaurant with three Michelin stars and upscale wine list and dining experience this is not your place. However, if you forego the pretense and unnecessary snooty ambiance found in high-end restaurants and are looking for authentic home cooked Mediterranean Kafta and Schwarma with simple yet delicious savory salads then come here!“

“Where is the 6-star button!? This is one of the best falafels that I've ever had. Sam makes the sandwiches to perfection - the falafels balls are made to order, the pita is filled with silky tahini, and the vegetables are perfectly crunchy. At $8 for a sandwich and $1 for a drink, it beats anything. If you want falafel, that's the one.“

“I ordered 100 falafel sandwiches for a camp supporting refugees . Not only was the food amazing The owner delivered the food himself . I have lived in Hell’s Kitchen over 25 years and I just found my new spot for amazing food and service ! Thank you“

“I went here for lunch yesterday and had the Hanger Steak on Whole Wheat Pita (it was on the specials menu) and it truly made my day. So flavorful with sautéed onions and a delicious side salad. I HAD to write a review to help spread the news, the food was fresh and unbelievably good and the service was top notch. <3“

“The most amazing food ever. It is best home made, top quality, and authentic Palestinian food you will ever try. It is the BEST food I have ever tried. I am not exaggerating for those reading. please do yourself a favor and come support this restaurant. everything is imported and quality ingredients. This is far from fast food!“

“If you’re a tourist hunting for a quick, affordable halal meal, look no further—this place has you covered. The $12 gyro platter is hands down one of the best deals you’ll find. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, the rice is perfectly cooked, and the salads and sauces just tie it all together in the best way possible. It’s filling, tasty, and easy on the wallet.

Locals, you’re seriously lucky to have this spot in your neighborhood. Everything on the platter is fresh and full of flavor, and you can tell they put care into making sure each part of the meal hits just right. Whether you're a visitor or a regular, this is the kind of place you’ll keep coming back to.“

“You can never go wring with King of Falafel. Like seriously the best food and amazing uncles serving it: it was cold and I had to stand on line to get food but one of the uncles called me and gave me falafel until I wait, I teared up - hospitality of real Kings! All of their food is amazing and fresh, my favorite is platters with meats and rice❤️ pickles on the side yum!“

“Their hummus is beyond amazing. The taste of creaminess at the end. How they make it I have no idea. Now I’m in trouble I need get these! So recommend to anyone. Make sure you get falafel and eat it within, the best way to have your falafel. It’s crispy so good. It’s better than any places I ever tried. Highly recommended

Vegetarian options: So many options. Just order it if your debating. One of the best. Better than any famous place“

“this store is very clean and all team work is friendly with customer and I try all kind of food is very good everyday I buy my lunch and dinner from this store and I sent all my friends to this restaurant Kings falafel and all of them like this store because the food is very good“

“I visited New York for 6 days from the state of Texas and ended up having two meals at this location because the food was just that good. In a city where you have to be the best to survive, we chose to eat here for two meals! The flavors and consistency of quality and service were great. Can't say enough good things about this place! Keep up the good work gentlemen!“

“My husband gets their food all the time for lunch and yesterday I met up with him while he was on break. I got the falafel plate and my god! The falafels were so fresh and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, the veggies were fresh and really brought life to the dish. The owner and his son were so nice. I cannot recommend enough!“

“June 26, 2022. Walked to get our order of a Lamb wrap, chicken wrap and fries. First time there and a welcome place to the neighborhood. The staff are friendly, the place is new and clean and most important the food is very good. Will return many times. Check it out.“

“Mamoun's Falafel is a classic, old-school establishment that consistently draws a crowd—and for good reason. The food is always fresh and delicious, making it a favorite spot for many. There’s never any issue with the quality or taste of the food; it’s simply excellent.

However, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, they only accept cash, so be prepared. If you’re short on cash, you'll need to use the ATM right outside the store, which charges a $3 fee. The staff, while efficient, can sometimes come across as brusque, especially when you request extras like sauce on the side or if you’re a dollar short. Also, seating is very limited, so it's best to plan on taking your food to go. The prices are slightly on the higher side, but given the quality of the food, it's worth it.“

“You need to know what to get! I personally am not a fan of the fries (they’re more like home fries and the seasoning makes them too dry for my taste) but LOVE the eggplant falafel sandwich and the beet salad!

Vegetarian options: Falafel sandwiches, salads and sides!

Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian and Halal“

“Absolutely fantastic! Can’t wait to return!“

“I only got the falafel sandwich but OH MY DAYS was it good. First bite of that falafel:🤤 crunchy outside n moist interior. Listen man- they not cappin when they say it’s fresh here. The pita, the veggies, the falafel. I didn’t want it to end. HANDS DOWN BEST FALAFEL SAMMICH IN NY😮‍💨🔥🐗“

“Really good food and service. Falafel and garlic is sauce is out of this world.“

“I love the shawarma sandwich I bought , it was so delicious tasty and the good thing of this place, is that it has small section to buy groceries,like Arab bread which is so delicious.“

“This place was fantastic! Over the years I've been here maybe 10 times. I never complain when my friends or family suggest this place to eat for dinner. The waitresses are always a pleasure to deal with. They assist me well when I ask for all my extras and meal modifications. The chef ?‍? in the back is on point. I wish GYRO TOWN long-term success in these challenging economic times

Parking: Paid street parking can be a bit full sometimes, causing me to circle once or twice. I typically never have to walk more than a half a block.“

“🔝 Notch middle eastern cuisine, Hands down the best, Highly Recommended“

“Good Luck � My Friend“

“Super delicious food and amazing customer service 💯✅“

“Benjy was very kind, and straight to the point. The place is chalov yisroel, and the pizza was surprisingly delicious. The store is a bit outdated but in my opinion is reminiscent of the old pizza shops we went to as kids in a cozy kind of way. Benjy, keep being you.

Dietary restrictions: Kosher, cholov yisroel, pas yisroel.

Kid-friendliness: There are highchairs, and the owner will cut the pies in as many peices as you want.“

“I've had a chance to sample most of the menu and it is delicious. Great music 🎶 on all the time too.“

“Everything was really, really, really good, and fresh, especially the salad, meats cooked to order, the falafel. We also loved the hummus, babaganoush, and fluffy pita. Service was super friendly and accommodating to a ton of small special requests. Not sure why they gave us some flat store bought pita with our order and some delicious, fluffy, and fresh made (maybe they were running out?), but overall a really delightful surprise.“

“Best food and best people. The cook and the older gentleman taking our order love their jobs and really took care of us. Both the chicken and beef shawarma were cooked to perfection, with the right amount of juiciness and charred flavor. Even the bread was great. The man taking our order was very welcoming and hospitable. Perfect neighborhood halal spot.“

“1. Phenomenal pizza, baked based upon your desired style/taste. The "undercarriage" is perfection!!!!

2. The ambiance was crafted in a significantly casual yet comfortable fashion. You feel good as soon as you take a seat. They are also constructed for a high capacity crowd.

3. One of the greatest features of all...., SERVICE! An Absolutely enjoyable experience. Warm greetings, and phenomenal all-around-service can be expected. I had an extremely positive experience, the very first time I walked in.

An overall, unbelievable experience can be expected!“

“all i can say is i went here yesterday and got a falafel wrap and have not stopped talking about it - i've said "moist" more than i'd ever care to admit. it's incredible. i went back again today and they served straight fire yet again. looks like a humble take out spot but let me tell you ... the aura in this place is off the charts. for the price, too? wild. i just moved to the area and will be here once a week.“

“Food is excellent! Service was friendly and pretty prompt/quick. It's not quite a sit-down restaurant as the space is pretty small, but there is some space to sit and eat. I would recommend it for anyone who wants a quick and delicious bite.“

“Great lunch! Delicious, great price, large tasty portions great patio seating and friendly atmosphere. Thank you“

“Great food , great prices. Friendly welcoming staff. the classic shawarma sandwich and falafel sandwich are delicious. do yourself a favor and get the mint lemonade, you'll be hooked :)“

“Spectacular service, immaculate price, and dumbfounding taste. 100/100 out of 100/100!!! They even gave me free food because they ran out of one burger?!?!? Have you ever been some where they’ve giving out free food just to satisfy the customer. Will come again!“

“Whenever I am in the area, I have to get my fix!! The Lamb Gyro Platter and Chicken Gyro Platter are so good. You are going to want to order both. I wish I had taken a picture. The last time I was here was in Nov 2021, my flight got in after midnight, so I didn't get to my hotel until close to 2AM. This was one of the few places open, and the food was so good. The Hummus & Pita is delicious as well! You just can not go wrong with this place!“

“Easily one of the best food deals in NYC. 11 dollars for a large bowl with unlimited toppings and four huge falafel that were some of the best falafel i’ve had in the area. Couscous was a little dry but still flavorful and the sauces were fantastic and arguably the best part. Perfect hummus as well.“

“The falafel here is superb! It’s light and crispy with a full flavor. I usually order the falafel platter that comes with red quinoa, hummus, pickles, Israeli salad and cabbage. It also comes with pita but I’m GF so I opt out. They also have Dr. Brown’s sodas which is the icing on the cake! The owner and staff and friendly and want to make sure you have the best falafel in town! Highly recommend!

Vegetarian options: They offer falafel, sabich and cauliflower“

“Absolutely amazing food and magi drink is yummmmmy!“

“Needed somewhere halal to eat when I was visiting the 9/11 Memorial. It was about a 5 min walk. Bit of a queue to order, however that’s generally an indicator the food is good and it was worth the wait. The brother serving the food made it extra spicy for me. I ordered the Chicken Kati roll. You get 2 for about $7-$8. Lovely food.“

“Do not refer to the five stars. They do not reflect my opinion. I just wanted to say that perhaps a short explanation should be added somewhere that the hummus is intended for the palate of Columbia University students so that Israeli clients do not develop expectations.“

“$9 for combo over rice. They don’t list prices on the truck for some reason. The yellow rice is great and has a bit more texture than the rice from the truck across the street. The white sauce is also good—not too heavy, not too light. The rest of the platter is satisfactory, but doesn’t stand out to me.“

“thank you so much for feeding us at Long Island Jewish Forest Hills Hospital . love the authenticity, it's like being back home in my native land of Israel!“

“Fantastic Food! Crowded at lunch time which is always a good sign. Chicken shawarma was fantastic. Make sure to get the garlic sauce! Right by the Bedford L!

Vegetarian options: Falafel, Arabic salad, chickpea salad, pickles, etc.“

“I crave Mamouns, but unfortunately, I haven't been there in years. I walked down from 16th Street and was famished when I arrived.
As deeelish as I had remembered. You can't get a better Falafel anywhere in New York. Everything is so fresh!“
