- Gökhan TopalhanOctober 6, 2013Ok so you made a mistake and poured that hot sauce instead of dripping it? grab a bottle of Ayran (Turkish yoghurt drink) from Turkiss a little south on the same street. your mouth will thank you.
- A neighborhood favorite for a quick and inexpensive meal. There are only a couple of seats inside so be sure to get moving quickly if you snag one or even to take it up to the park and snag a bench.
- Chris EvansOctober 11, 20157aram 3alek you left your friends at the bar for some delicious falafel, but it's kind of hard to feel bad when everything tastes so good.
- Derek T. KuAugust 4, 2017Super spicy hot sauce. Try at your own risk. Make sure to order a baklava at the end to finish your meal on a high note!
- 孟 MAugust 23, 2016Best Babaganough I haven't found anywhere else! I wish I could make the equivalent at home ...until then I Ill get it as a sandwich to eat right away and sometimes as plate to take home.
- NVDKAugust 7, 2014Mamoun's is legendary. One is able to overlook the decrepit, tiny interior because the authentic falafel and shawarma sandwiches are to die for. Perfect for lunch or dinner on the go.
- Celena ChanJuly 27, 2015The chicken kebab was a bit dry-- a great cheap eat though, get the platter! The tahini sauce is a must.
- Cindy lauAugust 11, 2015Cheap, filling and fast. Also, it's not too unhealthy. I love the baba ganouj but others swear by the falafel. For $3.50 each, try both.
- Aniruddha MandkeNovember 2, 2014One of the best falafel, hands down. Try out chicken kebab version as well. Don't be dissuaded by the long line - these guys have an exceptional turn around time.
- LilyNovember 24, 2019Falafel sandwich has never failed me in the 18 years I’ve been coming here. Bring cash. Use the hot sauce (with some caution).
- Gabriel ChungApril 16, 2016I love mamoun's! Best beef shawarma around and the falafel is also excellent. Great place to come to late night after hitting up the bars in the area.
- Jess KellyJune 15, 20166 bucks for the falafel plate which is basically two sandwiches. So good. So cheap. Classic example of where even the meat eaters go veggie.
- Shermans TravelAugust 15, 2012For less than $5, you’ll get a pita-full of schwarma, deliciously creamy baba ghannouj, and falafel that’s cooked just right (crunchy on the outside, fluffy and moist on the inside).
- Tobias WackerAugust 22, 2014Even if you don't care much for falafel (I don't), their shawarma is out of this world. Go when they are not crazy busy and the meat is deliciously charred on the edges.
- M Ben-DavidApril 20, 2012Yummy Eqyptian Middle Eastern restaurant in the heart of the Village. They have delicious falafel, chicken shwarma, hummus. The line is usually out the door because the prices are reasonable as well..
- You can do a full course meal here. Start with a side of babaganoush, then falafel or shawarma sandwich, a baklava and a cup of tea. 12 bucks on the outside.
- 🍰August 30, 2021the best shawarma sandwich i have ever had and i have had A LOT. half pocket fill so nothing falls from the bottom
- Yada yada yada - if u don't know the falafel sandwich is the best in the city, where've u been for the past 15+ yrs? Don't sleep on the lentil soup. It'll change your life. Hot sauce all around...
- Pedro CristianiOctober 8, 2014get the delicious $6.00 shawarma and a soda to go. walk to Washington Square or West towards Hudson River Park. sit down and enjoy the best meal in town.

- Joanna FlammMay 6, 2019Cheap and delicious sandwiches. Get a falafel sandwich for $4.50 and eat it on the street for a true Village experience.
- HashtagNYUAugust 29, 2014NYC’s best cheap falafel costs $3.50. Also try the pita with baba ganouj or the shawarma sandwich. Careful with the spicy sauce!
- Munch On MeNovember 8, 2011Small, tasty and veggie-friendly - falafel is the best thing to come from a chickpea. New Yorkers have certainly taken to these fried fritters, but if you're looking for the best, look no further. Read more
- Raied FarghalyMay 8, 2017Chicken Kebob sandwich and the hoy sauce on the side. Also falafel platter.
- Jeremy CohenNovember 13, 2015I can never decide between Shwarma or Falafel, but Hummus say they're both delicious.
- IsameowDecember 22, 2014Love the falafels here. If you get the player don't get both hummos and baba. Portions are big and they are heavy! Cash only.
- joahnnaJuly 28, 2015There's always a queue but it moves pretty fast. And yes it's worth queuing for. Their falafel doesn't disappoint.
- TingFebruary 16, 2016Tiny joint, cheap n decent. Baba ganoush a bit strange. Falafel is great. Next time will try the shawarma.
- Carrie LawsonJune 10, 2016The chicken kabob and falafel sandwich combo is the BEST. Hope you like spicy! Their sandwiches send you to flavor town.
- Lisa FinnJanuary 4, 2015Open late with delicious pita sandwiches to soak up all that dive bar liquor. Definitely try their fresh baba ganouj.
- Sabrina AsanoNovember 27, 2015Shawarma and falafels were great. Good value for the quality of food. Meat is cooked very well, marinaded well.
- William HAugust 23, 2014It doesn't look like much, but it's some of the best falafel in town. Ignore the daunting line, it moves quickly.
- michael deveroMarch 30, 2019Super good falafel. Great desserts too. Fast, fresh and tasty hole in the wall!! I love it!
- Chris KonecnyFebruary 12, 2015Wow. Great place to get some falafel after bars close. Shawarma and lentil soup were fantastic as well. Cheap.
- My favorite falafel place in NYC by far. Cheap, delicious, and open until 4 AM. Doesn't get much better. Cash only though.
- Kirill KukuruzaJanuary 31, 2016Take a veggie/meat combo plate if you are really hungry. Hummus and baba-ghanoush are very delicious!
- The best, but they've been slacking lately - none of the requested hot sauce OR hummus on my $4 (!) falafel and hummus pita the other evening :(
- Alex RobertsonJanuary 13, 2017Oh hell yes. $3.50 Falafel sandwiches with salad and tahini. Small but nice vibes
- DipikaNovember 12, 2014Love their falafel sandwiches with extra white sauce and of course the spicy sauce (used very sparingly!)
- Lauren AlexaSeptember 29, 2016Tiny place with basically no seating but the food is great! Go for the falafel of course!
- Not only is the Falafel the best in the city it is the perfect post drinking snack. Defiantly a must eat. 4 stars!
- Jay LOctober 7, 2013Forget the falafel, baba ghanoush is so much more flavorful, saucy, eggplant goodness. This sandwich is a hot mess, you can't eat it delicately at all.
