Mamoun's Falafel

I love the vibe and aesthetic here. The food is well prepared but I feel like the ingredients aren't the best. This is still a really good spot for food. Decent sized menu and everything has lots of flavors. The service is okay but the food is really good.It's a little pricey but the guest experience is great and the food is good.

I've been here 5 times or so in the last several months. Despite the pandemic and the somewhat suspect clientele that wander around St. Marks at night, they run an efficient machine to provide for great mediterranean food in the lower east side. A favorite of mine is their falafel (better than all those Halal carts) and baba ganoush (freshly made; you can taste the roasted flavor in it). I usually get their sandwiches , but their platters are good for groups. Get their loyalty card to earn points and freebies on purchases.

Mamoun's has changed since the early days of $3.50 shwarma sandwiches but the food is still amazing. Today that shwarma will run you $8 plus anything else you want as a side. The ingredients are top notch and the hot sauce is flaming. Enjoy your trendy middle eastern sandwich. The food is still the same stuff that made Mamoun's a late night success.

The place is small like a box, you won't even get a table to stand and eat, or you might end up eating at the table by the Trash can, but all this does not matter if the food is what the mean to impress you. And they could accomplish it successfully! We were in a group of three and we ordered 3 different kinds of falafels with sides of salads, hummus and pita. It was hard to choose one favourite. They were so crispy and yet so tender, so aromatic. The salad dressing was good and a little different from usual. A thumbs up!
