What People Are Saying About Mamoun's Restaurant

The Scene – Very quick, perfunctory service caters to a fast-moving line of takeout customers that often extends out the door. A few battered wooden tables do exist, but they're usually full and crammed against the wall. It's best to take your order back to the office, or over to nearby Washington Square Park. Taking a place of honor on the wall is a portrait of the portly Mamoun himself, circa 1971. – – The Food – Cheap, very filling and good enough to consistently merit a mention in arguments over the best shawarma and falafel in the city. The creamy baba ghanoush…

REVIEW FROM CITYSEARCH's 3BUCKBITES DICTATOR
by LingboLi
One of my pet peeves is falafel made out of spiced sawdust. Off Bleecker Street, I found falafel that victoriously avoided this by being moist and green on the inside, delightfully crunchy and brown on the outside. Tossed together with some tahini and tomatoes and sold for a mere 2 bucks and 2 quarters, my only regret is that tomatoes are not in season. Maybe next time.

How can you not like this place. These sandwiches are amazing. I love the chicken kabob sandwiches, and this is the only falafel place whose hot sauce is actually hot
- Pros: chicken kabob sandwhiches
- Cons: What are the drawbacks?

gem in the Village
by giocomo
This place is fantastic for quick, inexpensive food that is fun and tastes good. They always seem busy and the prices are great. Unfortunately, it's difficult to sit down, but if you're on the run it doesn't matter. I've tried multiple menu items and have enjoyed everything I've tried here, including the baklava.
- Pros: inexpensive, food quality
- Cons: no space to sit
