Falafel in New York, NY

“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.“

“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.“

“Love the food“

“We ordered 4 Catering trays for our hospital holiday potluck and the food was delicious! Mr. Wissam is such a nice person and very professional! Will definitely always order from him for all of our holiday potlucks! Thank you for the special delivery and special additional items. All of our staffed loved it and will come back with their families for more!“

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

“This is my favorite place in the Union Square area. I've been coming to this small family run shop for the falafel platter for over 15 years. The owner and son couldn't be more welcoming and the food is very fresh and tasty. It is also a great value for the money.“

“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 .“

“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.“

“Mamoun’s Falafel is one of the tastiest, most reliable spots for a quick Middle Eastern bite, and it never disappoints. The falafel is crispy, flavorful, and super satisfying every single time, amazing sandwiches, which is why it is so easy to keep going back. After what feels like 100 visits, the place really feels like a favorite go-to for a fast, delicious meal.“

“Absolutely amazing food and magi drink is yummmmmy!“

“I’ve been meaning to come to this place to have their falafel. It’s a little bit of a walk from my work but I made the trek out today because I had some time, and I am very glad I did. They were incredibly kind to me and gave me a sample of their lentil soup, and their iced coffee was really good too. I was going to go to a fancy coffee place and I enjoyed Rakka’s iced coffee even more than I would have enjoyed the offerings at a specialty shop. I ordered a falafel sandwich and it was very good. Everything was super fresh. I asked about their lentil soup and they very kindly gave me a sample. It was delicious and I am now hooked, I’ll definitely be back soon. Give Rakka a try!!!!“

“Good Luck � My Friend“

“Amazing Mediterranean place in UWS/Columbia. Authentic food, beautiful music, friendly and welcoming staff and the chef! I love their chicken and lamb shawarma, lentils soup, and baklava. Feast for the soul and body! Recommend it to all my friends too!“

“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?“

“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.“

“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!“

“Every time I've been here, the food has come to me within 8 minutes of me walking into the restaurant. There's always plenty of open seating with a quiet atmosphere and great music. Friendly employees and delicious food. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Always a delicious meal at Mamoun’s. Proud patron for over 30 years. Never disappoints.“
