MMM Mamoun's falafel

Not much to say about this place other than it is definitely worth trying for a quick to-go meal. Pros: Tasty (hits the spot for late nite cravings); fast (even when the line is out the door); cheap; large variety of menu items. Cons: Tight space; minimal seating area.

Dishes I tried:

Falafel Baba Gannouj Combo

late night falafel

Mamoun’s is great for 2 reasons: it’s cheap and it’s open till 5 am, which makes it perfect for a late-night, post-drinking snack. Of course, it doesn’t hurt that the food is actually good. The pita sandwiches and plates are made the way you’d expect from any Middle Eastern fast food place (pita, some salad, tahini, etc.).

The restaurant is tiny with a narrow counter running along one wall and 3 tables along the other. There’s also usually a long line of people that completely fills up the place and snakes out the door. So you’ll find most people ordering to go or eating on the many stoops in the surrounding area.

Dishes I tried:

I almost always got the falafel sandwich at Mamoun’s. Every restauarant seems to make falafel slightly different. Mamoun’s is moist and firm, not too crunchy.

Solid cheap middle eastern. Best when it’s not too cold out; take it to Washington Square Park. I stick with the shwarma but enjoyed the kebob recently. Only thing that could make it better would be fries (chips).

You haven’t lived until you’ve had Mamouns. Just one bite and you’ll never think of falafel in the same way again. I get cravings for this stuff. It’s been around since the 70s and looks like it hasn’t changed a day. Let’s face it who can beat a $2 sandwich in New York? I’m passionate about this one folks.

Nothing better than Mamoun's after a night of drinking

This place hits the spot. Cheap, fast eats with some of the best falafel these lips have tasted.

Mamoun’s does the job after a night of drunken karaoke at the Village Ma down the street.

Definitely not dry or mealy and a little hint of texture inside each falafel. It’s great hot but surprisingly good when devoured the morning after even when it’s cold.
