Ari SatlinJuly 6, 2013Healthies, Best tasting quality Veggie Falafel ever. Slamming Lamb pita shwarma. like 4$. Everyones a winner.
Moe BenJuly 19, 2017Yum, yum. My treat of the week. I must have shawarma sandwich after work every Saturday. Something about that hot sauce:)
The best falafel sandwich I've ever had (for real), and it's only $2.50! Open really late too.
Gabriel HayesAugust 27, 2015Great place for an inexpensive lunch. Falafel sandwich is $3 and shawarma sandwich is $6.
msMarch 11, 2015Cheap but perfect falafel. The service is great too! Mamoun's is love, Mamoun's is life
I got the falafel; baba-ganouj; shawarma; and shish kabob. All were amazing.
Whether your looking for a quick snack or bombed from a late night of drinking & dancing stop by Mamouds. You'll feel like a million bucks within minutes. I go for the falafel shawarma mix.
steve BEMay 28, 2013It's 2013. Pitas come mixed these days; you can have your babaghanouj and hummus, too ...in the same sandwich!!
Justin AbuzidFebruary 21, 2015Everything here was yum. Go easy on the hot sauce if you don't like too spicy, it really is HOT.
N. S.January 25, 2018Another great cheap eat. Basic and delicious falafel. The hot sauce is awesome.- Evva KraikulJuly 20, 2013Delicious falafels at affordable prices - what more could you ask for? Note, this place is cash only!
Ricardo DinizMarch 13, 2013At this place I ate the most delicious hummus in my life. Try it with the good ol' falafel sandwich.
Michael G.October 6, 2019Falafel sandwich is outstanding. Get two and you’ll be full. They cater, who knew?!
The Corcoran GroupJuly 24, 2013THE place to get falafel to go. The hot sauce is very spicy, so beware!
Tamer BekirAugust 16, 2014It's delicious. Try anything on the menu. Just buy it. You'll be happy. Trust me.
Best chicken and falafel sandwiches in the village. Be careful with the hot sauce...it's killer!
- get two sides - falafel and hummus - and you'll be well-fed for less than $6
Daan V.October 27, 2011Great falafel for just 2.50. Be sure to be careful with the spice sauce or enjoy the notoriously famous 'Mamoun's After party'.
Mike MillerSeptember 28, 2022Ordered meat combo plate with shawarma & there was no meat! I paid additional cost to add meat & waited after customers who ordered after me. I paid in cash & live a subway ride away.
Chris DursoAugust 21, 2017Lives up to the hype. Falafel and shawarma don't get much better, anywhere in the city.
Iren KrugliakovaDecember 6, 2013Best falafel ever, but don't try red souse from a big bottle, it burns your guts!)
soniaOctober 30, 2014Vegetarians: falafel with hummus ... go easy on the hot sauce, it's actually spicy
CompassJuly 23, 2013Dive face first into the falafel and shwarma sandwiches at this grab-and-go Village favorite.
Joy DingNovember 8, 2012omnomnomnom get the baba ghanoush then put it inside your falafel sandwich. it is bombdelicious
This place is awesome. Get a falafel sandwich and put some hot sauce on it.
I don't care how much better you think your local falafel guy is, this is the most famous falafel place in the city. Nothing comes close to the consistency of a delicious Mamoun's Falafel anywhere!
One of the best falafel's at the cheapest price. Love the hot sauce too, but can be crazy hot at times.

"After you've had a few different flavors of the falafel sandwich (green and harissa are my favorites), go for the sabich (sa-beech) sandwich. Fried eggplant, with a sliced boiled egg. Delicious."
Sajid Mehmood - 8.9
"Huge, tasty falafel made fresh to order. Bonus: they're also gluten-free & the menu is strictly vegetarian & mostly vegan. Traditional Middle Eastern fare with a gourmet twist. Try the saffron aioli."

"A beautiful park and a must see for any visitor. It's perfect when you just want to sit on a bench and read a book or do some people watching. On nice days you can find all sorts of live music too."
New York Habitat - 7.8
"Definitely in my top 3. Crust is perfectly crunchy, sauce is well-seasoned & cheese is melted from big chunks. Go with a friend and split the sicilian grandma, sicilian vodka and an artichoke slice."
Mbali - 8.2
"Perfect for a late night snack or a lunch (but be sure to get two rolls to get a filling meal)."
