Serious EatsApril 23, 2013Toppings Bar: Not all of the salads and sauces are vegan, but plenty of them are: carrots, cabbage, broccoli, pickles, and tabouleh. That's plenty you can stuff in a pita, with or without falafel.
Ms HeleneApril 11, 2013For under $6 get a falafel sandwich (5 pieces) and as much salad as you can pile in. Garlic sauce was both sweet and spicy - perfect! Small sandwich comes with 3 pieces and less room for salad.
Eat to BlogJanuary 14, 2012For some of the best falafel outside of Israel, head to this Dutch chain. The co-star to the falafel is the toppings bar, with great options like pickled baby eggplant.
Paige CAugust 27, 2015Good food however their method of service is all backwards. You are rushed to order and then the food is basically thrown at you and you have to make your own salad/sandwich while people push you.
Paola TrabancoSeptember 6, 2015Great Falafel salad! Their topping choices are great as well. Also enjoyed their lemonade with ginger
Jacqueline FloresOctober 1, 2013The falafel and eggplant and sweet potato fries were awesome! I will definitely be coming back for more.
Hungry, running late, and facing a long subway ride? Grab a falafel salad and a boxy paper to-go bag. Easy to eat standing up on the platform+train without bothering other passengers or making a mess!- Tim TayshunOctober 18, 2017This place has some tremendous healthy food options for a great price! The salad box with yogurt sauce is amazing!
Add a squirt of tahini sauce first to add sauce, then fill her up w/ toppings. I also like the falafel shakshuka on whole wheat--nice and saucy
You can stuff your falafel salad bowl here from open buffet, and that can be your both lunch and dinner.
Elysia MannApril 27, 2016That salad/topping bar is killer. Broccoli and cauliflower is delicious with the tahini sauce.
Their garlic sauce is like crack. Please make sure you have gum on hand for afterwards. Your friends will thank you!
- Serious EatsMarch 15, 2013Dutch vegetarian chain with a vibrant toppings bar for customizing your pita sandwiches.
Kathryn PhillipsAugust 24, 2015Delicious and truly authentic falafel! Might be my favorite falafel in NYC.
Salad box is so delicious. And the people who work here are always so nice, even during lunch rush.
Diego RufoApril 4, 2011Falafel! Delicious, healthy, and portable! Grab a falafel pita with hummus & mixed fries (sweet potato and regular mixed together! genius!). Read more
Falafel plate. Broccoli runs out quick, but you can always ask for more.
Chris HariharNovember 18, 2013Food and people are great. Falafel sandwich with hummus and avocado are amazing.
Top notch fast food vegetarian eatery. Very filling. Good variety.
AmandaOctober 19, 2010Broccoli, broccoli and more broccoli. Best topping ever...and if you want to get into the hype, GET IN LINE because sometimes you gotta wait for them to refill the container!
- Peter CrysdaleJanuary 24, 2013The falafel sandwich is a meal in itself! Only get more if you're hungry.
StephanieApril 24, 2013Got a junior maoz falafel, piled on thank you! Veggies with rice pudding, perfect.
The checkout process gives me anxiety but it's a good cheap lunch if you work in the area.
1. Not the best falafel in NYC. 2. The salad bowls have seriously shrunk since this place opened (the prices haven't). 3. The food is good.
Chris DavisJuly 9, 2011Get the salad box w/ yogurt sauce! Don't go for the apple juice, with all the pulp it's like drinking an apple through a straw.
Daniel M.August 2, 2011I signed up for DailyGobble.com today and got a $6 coupon to use at Maoz. Pretty sweet deal. Get it while you can!
Subira WilliamsJanuary 18, 2013Good food. Plan on going back tomorrow. Filled me up and still had leftovers.
Kelly BruceMay 26, 2010Don't go here during the busy lunchtime hours if you actually enjoy a few inches of personal space. And give yourself time to go back and refill on the salads as many times as possible!
DiabloSeptember 17, 2010The food is OK, but it's kind of stressful to eat here. It's so small, everyones on top of each other with the toppings and the close range seating.
