Falafel near Astoria, NY

“It's a food truck I love getting a free falafel but sometimes they give me one less in my platter so why is that menue says 6 for a platter reason for 3 stats is I can't see the hit sauce and its too hot so I wish they could just give the sauce in a cup would be nice if there was more rice n salad I mean ten buck s cmon fellas how come you have to hand me 5 falafel makes me feel dumb inside“

“The food at this place is absolutely fantastic. With prices that are hard to beat these days, it’s the kind of spot that makes you feel like you’re getting a real deal without compromising on quality. I went with the chicken, while my dad tried the falafel, and we decided to add baba ganoush to both—it was creamy, flavorful, and the perfect complement to our meals.

Our food did take a little while to arrive, but that’s only because everything is made fresh to order, which I truly appreciated. Every bite showed the care and effort that goes into each dish. Beyond the delicious food, the staff are always friendly, welcoming, and ready to help, making the experience even better. If you’re in the area, this is a must-visit spot—supporting this business means enjoying food that’s genuinely unbeatable.“

“You're going to enjoy the atmosphere here. Workers here are so pleasant it adds to the fun experience. The meal was absolutely right. The meal execution and service delivery were excellent. I can't imagine valid criticism of this place.“

“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“

“Love the food“

“This is actually one of those 6-star places, because the food is so fresh and delicious. And it’s that rarest of endangered species in New York—a small business run by people who care and not a fast casual, slop-assembly factory.

Since it’s a hole in the wall kind of spot, it’s strictly to-go, but there are tables available in the indoor courtyard nearby—open to all.“

“Great food and friendly people the best Falafel and Shawarma“

“Presented with Very warm welcoming staff with a fresh crispy Falafel on the start.
I ordered chicken over rice with salad
No doubt salad was fresh and white sauce made it awesome in tasty but chicken wasn’t cook well. Could be better but over all joyful experience .“

“I ate here several times during my visit to NY love the food“

“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!“

“The soups and quinoa falafel 🥙 are out of this world . Mouth waters just thinking about next time I will be eating these items“

“Amazing. Got the shawarma plate and it was loaded. Really appreciate the portions of meat and vegetables. Delicious toppings with hummus and tahini and cucumber and cabbage and eggplant etc. Highly recommend. You will be satisfied. Great, fast service too.“

“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.“

“Well, we visited as part of a food tour of NY. Being quite frank, if we had been by ourselves we might well have walked right past Mamoun's; it doesn't have the greatest frontage, and some might be put off.
But oh, my! Get in there and have yourself the best falafel around. We've travelled to many parts of north Africa and the Middle East and I can honestly say that this is the best falafel we have had - especially with that brutally gorgeous hot sauce (two bottles purchased to take back to the UK).
Definite revisit required!“

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

“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.“

“Absolutely amazing food and magi drink is yummmmmy!“

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

“The food was definitely good: good portion sizes (for NYC), we especially liked the hummus and other sauces which felt authentic. Wide variety of items in the platter. Decent prices for NYC.

My only gripe is that this is a counter top takeout place and the payment system asks for 15/20/25% tip and dude was watching me as I tapped the buttons on the screen, so I felt pressured to tip for no service before even getting my food. Not unique to this place but that’s the only reason I’m not hustling back.“

“I came to Holy Pita and ordered the chicken shawarma, and it was absolutely delicious! The chicken was juicy, perfectly spiced, and wrapped in fresh pita with all the right toppings. Every bite was full of flavor.

The staff was warm and welcoming, and the service was fast. The restaurant itself is clean and has a great, casual vibe.

If you’re in the mood for authentic Mediterranean food, this is the spot. The chicken shawarma alone is worth the trip!“

“I ordered a beef shawarma sandwich — the taste was really good, but I wish it had more meat. The flavor was there, but it felt a bit too light overall.

They also gave me a sample of lentil soup, and honestly, it was amazing! Full of flavor and really comforting. I didn’t expect much, but it surprised me in the best way.“

“The interior arrangement makes good use of the space. The dishes delight while the service enhances. This restaurant offers good value considering its location. Their workers maintained professionalism alongside friendliness. Semkeh demonstrates what excellence looks like.“

“Good Luck � My Friend“

“Super delicious food and amazing customer service 💯✅“

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

“Friendly service, good food takes time to prepare but it's so worth the wait“

“What an incredible find! Naomi Khosher Pizza and Falafel deserves every one of its five stars. The food is absolutely to die for – particularly the falafel. I've traveled the world, and I can honestly say I've never tasted falafel as amazing as theirs. The flavor is simply unparalleled. If you're looking for an unforgettable meal, this is the place to go!“

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

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

“Good food reasonably priced.“

“Inflation in NYC saddens me greatly.
Your favorite inexpensive meals are coasting way too much. I love Falafel sandwich made fresh and the price it was is now a bit like buying a Hero.
Oasis is trusted in the Williamsburg area of Bedford. A falafel sandwhich s $7 and it's loaded with ruffage and good taste. They're pita bread is baked fresh.
4% tax on Credit/Debit users and that's all of Williamsburg in my book.
So if you are cool with today's prices but being yesterday price and still qnt to eat well... Go to Oasis. Those guys there are nice!“

“what an exciting treat to have the truck upstate for the summer. we loved the convenience of getting the tasty falafel from the truck when it came to our colony just in time for the 9 days!!!! cant wait to visit the store when we get back to the city.“

“So, so good; can’t wait to go back!! I had a pita pocket with a bunch of veggies. The worker went above and beyond to accommodate my and my friend’s (annoying) requests. Planned to get just one sandwich but couldn’t. It’s that good.“

“Overall rating: 4.9
Paid: $9 with Tip

OMG SO GOOD. AND AFFORDABLE. Cash only and they accept Zelle. The staff is also sooooo friendly especially in such a small area. It definitely put a smile on my face that I wasn’t expecting during my lunch break. Highly recommend! I tried to go back recently to take a picture but I can’t find it anymore 😭 does anyone know if they moved?“

“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!“

“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!“

“We were visiting the area and were drawn here by the amazing smells. So many different choices of slices were available. My daughter chose cheese and a pasta topped slice. I chose ricotta/spinach and a mushroom. This place makes the best pizza we’ve ever had!“

“I’ve been going to Ibby’s since they first opened. If you want good food, this is the place to go. Their falafels are like no other!! They have the best falafels in N.J. Hands down!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Fabulousness A must place to go“

“good food“

“Quick, yummy, and delicious 😜

I called them at 7:54am. Ordered a vegan bacon egg and cheese. Took the bx22, was there in a few minutes. Order was already prepared and packaged!

He was patient when I had to call my dad and ask him to send the money since I have a chase first card. Usually people get annoyed because it takes a minute or two. Also they held the door open for me when I left.

As for the food, I loved bacon egg and cheeses. When I went vegan, I tried many different replacements and mocks. This was the best one.“

“These street carts were peppered all over NYC. Am unsure why certain carts have longer queues than the rest even though they were all from the same franchise. Nothing much to comment on the taste. I didn't like the mess on the plate which was heavily slathered in white sauce. Reasonably priced. Portions are huge.“
