Delivery Service Is False Advertising!

by veggiefriend

Maoz offers pretty decent food for a quick option, but they can never seem to support their "for fast and free delivery" promise...I have called over five times within the last couple of weeks and they never have anyone available to deliver. Very disappointing...

Great combo!

by JessAtl

I randomly read about this place and decided to try it out when I was craving a healthy way to do falafel- it definitely delivered! The salad bar is so unique and you can create a very filling meal, that's also healthy, delicious, and unique!

  • Pros: Unique!
  • Cons: Slow carry-out

Amazing Falafel, By Far the Best In NYC

by alexgrey

I must say that I am not easily "wowed". Living in NYC you can become quite a food snob. However, when I first walked into the Maoz located on 8th Street between Broadway and University, I was completey amazed at how delicious the falafel was! The freshness and tastiness of the salad bar toppings offered is not even worth putting into words. The french fries and those amazing natural fruit drinks just heaven! This space was larger then the union square location, and I actually got to sit and enjoy my falafel. The pita's are soft, the falafels delicious and warm, and the salad bar to die for! I truly hope that everyone gets the thrill of enjoying such an inexpensive and fullfilling meal in NYC. I wish this chain only the best in its new locations..

  • Pros: Delicious Falafel, Very Clean / Great Environment, Best Cheap Eat in NYC by far..

Yum! Even the fries are good!

by citylivin

I've ended up at Rainbow Falafel on more than one occasion out of desperation to fulfill my craving for falafel. Each time I end up with a sandwich almost entirely full of lettuce and maybe three small, dry, pieces of falafel. I was so excited to bring my food back from Maoz (only three stools for eat-in) and find that even after walking several blocks my sandwich was in good shape and the fries were really crisp! The salad/ toppings bar looked good, but instead I just went with a mix of the yogurt and garlic sacues. Highly recommended! Falafel was plentiful, soft on the inside, and actually had flavor. Now if only the cart guys in Chelsea could make it like this I wouldn't have to walk to Maoz!

  • Pros: Good falafel, fries, garlic sauce
  • Cons: Only location in the city, can't dine-in

By far the best falafel I have ever tasted! The salad bar options and the soft warm pita is a must at this well designed falafel joint. I really think its the best around and all my friends agree! I can't wait until they open the new stores around the city! Delicious and highly recommended, quick, vegetarian, tasty, affordable and rich in flavors! A MUST TRY!

  • Pros: Quick, Vegetarian, Affordable, Delicious

A decent take-out joint

by dlabar

The food is fine as quick/cheap eats, but this is no Top Ten newcomer of 2007. I would not want to get anyone's hopes up. It's really a take-out joint frequented by NYU students. Not the swiftest of service or cleanliness either. Falaffel is....well, falaffel! Can't say that it tastes any better or worse than others.

The falafel joint enters a new age with high design and a DIY toppings bar.

by Justin Hartung

The Scene
This falafel spot is the first New York location of a European chain, but it won't be the last if the long lines of lunching nine to fivers are any indication. The decor is right out of '60s sci-fi: A spacey green and white pattern covers the tiny room, and exposed, round bulbs hang from the ceiling. A handful of counter seats accommodate the lucky few.

The Food
The line moves quickly thanks to the limited scope of the menu, which essentially boils down to one basic choice: Do you want your golden brown, abundantly spiced falafel accompanied by hummus and sauteed eggplant or not? Beyond that, diners customize their sandwich at an all-you-can-stuff toppings bar that includes flash-fried broccoli, sweet pickles, hearty tabouleh, pickled carrots, chunky beets and fresh tomatoes. Three choices of hot sauce add a fiery finish, and garlic mayo sweetens the deal on crisp, perfectly salted Belgian fries.
