Sad to say Mamoun's of Greenwich Village this location is absolutely not. While the soup is always good, this is the second time I spent top dollar on a meal that ended up being sub par for this brand. Sandwich which is the star of my meal was smaller than the palm of my hand, ordered it with baba, there was less than a teaspoon at best, lamb was dry, no vegetables hardly at all. Sandwich was falling apart by the second bite because the pita was thinner than a fingernails thickness. Soup was great as always, the pistachio baklava was superb. The he prices aren't bad but if you factor in that they're not training their cooks to assemble their signature sandwiches and platters to the standard of Mamoun's, it's a waste of money and time ordering here. When I first got the order delivered I called, no manager, said call back, next day, couldn't reach the manager, third day later, no manager and a young woman in her teens clearly not interested in my comments and getting exasperated with me on the phone, she composed herself, but honestly, my comments are spot on. I told her to tell the manager to look at the reviews on Yelp and Google, wasn't looking for a free meal to make up for the really amateur sandwich only a college student in their dorm would be proud of assembling, I simply like the fact that Mamoun's is near my house and management it clearly failing. I left my name and number, have ZERO FAITH I will be contacted back, they don't seem to care. Update: 7 days later, no manager called. These guys just do not care, way to treat a good and EX customer. #fail read more

Today we ordered to go from Mamouns. Our friends have ordered from here before & rave about it. I ended up getting a Platter of Falafel with salad, pickled veggies, feta cheese, & baba ganush. It was honestly very tasty & a lot of flavors. We didnt get to go inside to see the ambiance but the service was fast & efficient! Would definitely order from them again! read more

I have had mamoun's before at the manhattan location and just had the falafel sandwich there, which was nice. But today I tried the New Brunswick NJ location and tried a new item, the Manhattan sandwich. It was delicious. It just hit the spot. This will be my go to from now on. read more

I lovvvvee Mamoun's! Their falafel sandwich is literally all I crave. They can be a little stingy with filling up the sandwich, which does suck, but the tahini sauce makes up for it -- it's the perfect pairing. Their chicken sandwich is also really good. Always hits the spot! read more

Got a lamb and falafel sandwich. The lamb was definitely old lamb. It was not fresh and I'm currently writing this with a stomachache flavor was good but I think that most definitely not fresh. This is unfortunate because I've eaten here in the past and always had good experiences read more

Mamoun's Falafel - Shawarma Plate (lamb) - Middle Eastern Near Me - New Brunswick, New Jersey

This place has gone so downhill!! I've given it a try twice. Both times my sandwiches have come dry with no white sauce with no sauce at all. Why am I paying for something to then take it home and add my own white sauce ?? they should be providing white sauce on the side or putting it inside the sandwich who wants to eat a dry sandwich. read more

You know that disappointing experience when shawarma lamb tastes suspiciously like mystery meat? That's definitely not the case at Mamoun's! Their lamb is genuinely flavorful and fresh, cooked to a perfect tenderness. I also love their generously stuffed pita handhelds and the fact that they offer complimentary and delicious add-ons like olives and pickled turnips. read more

Great atmosphere in the store. Good prices with very filling food. Ask for extra sauce on the side the food gets very dry. Quick service. read more

Mamoun's Falafel - Chicken Kebob Plate 7.8/10 and Walnut Baklava 10/10 - Middle Eastern Near Me - New Brunswick, New Jersey

I'd give it 3.5 stars. The chicken kebab sandwich was good but lacking a lot of chicken. My bites were mostly veggies and pita. Fries were decent and had a nice crunch and came with a tangy, delicious garlic dip. The mango juice was well sized and very refreshing and not overly sweet. Cozy interior for a quick counter service restaurant with middle eastern music playing in the background. We did not have to wait long for our food and overall the prices are fair. read more

I've been an avid fan of Mamoun's Falafel in NYC since the 1980s. I haven't had it in years but when I saw it in New Brunswick, NJ I just had to give it a try. Things have certainly changed since the old standby for falafel started in 1971 in Manhattan. When you walk into the restaurant there are a few large screen kiosks to place your order, pay, and add your name. However, I was pleasantly surprised that the taste, quality, and enjoyment of their falafel hasn't changed at all. I ordered the Manhattan sandwich which was a falafel in a pita with falafel, hummus, baba ganouj, tabbouleh, pickles, pickled turnips, and olives. It was heaven in every bite and I cannot wait to go back to continue to indulge in this consistently delicious food that has stood the test of time! read more

I received a catering order today for the first time from Mamouns. I cannot say enough first how nicely it LOOKED. I wish I had more people over!! The food was tasty and plentiful, I had the chicken, falafel, and the hummus. I Also ate stuffed grape leaves, and baba gannush. All delicious! I will be adding this place to my catering list and so should you!! read more

Some of the best falafel in NJ. Glad there are locations in NYC as well. Fresh and quality ingredients. Love the hummus and the hot sauce has the perfect kick. Great for catering as well. read more

Good spot if you're looking for a quick bite! The service was pretty quick and they have kiosks for ordering. Ordered the combo plate with falafel, hummus, and baba ganoush which came with a pita. It was very flavorful and filling though it was a tad too salty for me. read more

Mamoun's Falafel - Combo Plate - Middle Eastern Near Me - New Brunswick, New Jersey

We really liked their food last time especially the Knafe, that we ordered 6 of it along with falafels & their garlic / hot sauce. We wanted our family to enjoy it as much as we did. While the Falafel & sauces were excellent , the Knafe was stale & had a weird smell . It was definitely old stuff sitting around or the ingredients used was old. Either way the dessert part of our meal was a total flop & wasted. I was completely sold on the Knafe from the last time , that despite my family mentioning an odd smell, i convinced them that it's the natural aroma and asked them to try it. They took couple of big bites and tried swallowing it with a not so happy look, and to probably make me happy, asked me for it's name . I proudly said it's Knafe a Mediterranean dessert loaded with nuts & honey and went on to taking my big bite! Within couple of seconds I had to spit it out as I couldn't handle the smell & knew it was clearly not fresh. I felt sorry for convincing & kinda forcing my family to eat stale food only because I trusted the food from Mamouns based on my prior experience. I understand things go wrong sometimes, but an entire order of 6 Knafe's being bad is not acceptable.It indicates they are storing & selling old stuff. It could be true that food or dessert is not moving as fast as pre pandemic times , but selling stale food to customers is not the way to run a business as it will result in losing the few loyal customers ! Hopefully Mamoun's will do better next time! read more

Horrible service. I have an allergy and was trying to get more info on the ingredients in something and "Lexia D" acted so condescending towards me. She helped a couple shortly after me and wasn't nearly as disrespectful. The food wasn't great so definitely not worth a rude, possibly racist encounter.... read more

I ordered the St. Mark's sandwich and an order of baba ganouj. I liked the sandwich, I just wish the meat was cut a bit smaller. It seem like there were only five big cubes of meat that made it difficult to eat. The baba ganouj was amazing! And it came with plenty of pita. I also got an order of the baklava and mabrumeh. They were both delicious and worth checking out. A word of caution, the hot sauce is extremely hot! A few drops goes a long way. I would order from here again and try something different from the menu. read more

First off I want to say I spent many years running amok on the LES of NYC. I've spent many years stopping at late night food joints after punk rock shows and $2.00 drafts at the Continental. One spot I highly recommend is Mamoun's. Now I know I'm leaving a review for their NJ location. Why? Well one thing I have to say about the NJ location is the quality of the food is the same. The prices are eh but you can't beat the best falafel in the country. Give it a try. They are quick to complete orders and the food is always fresh!!! read more

Paid for swarms and just got falafel. The falafel was still very good. (But less expensive than what I paid for). Make sure you pay attention to what you get. read more

After hearing many good things about Mamoun's, my friend and I decided to give a try and order takeout from there Friday evening. We placed the online order at around 5 pm and to our surprise, we received a text notifying us that our order was ready less than 10 minutes later! Upon entering the location, we were quickly handed our order upon request. We got the falafels and fries as a side and the chicken plate with rice and no pickles or turnips. Sadly, we thought that the meal was underwhelming, the portion sizes were small, the falafels weren't great, and the food was quite salty. Our experience was quite disappointing, but maybe if we tried different items on the menu our experience would have been more positive! read more

Mamoun's Falafel - a plate of fries and a pie - Middle Eastern Near Me - New Brunswick, New Jersey

Decided to stop in today and give this location another chance. Service is non existent . Mamouns staff acknowledging your presence, simply does not happen. Tables dirty and the staff just hanging out behind the counter. I really regret tipping. Stop hiring young kids that dont care about your business. No music playing either. Just me, dead silence and staff buried in their phones. Food was average and nothing like the quality you get at the nyc location. When im in new brunswick and im hungry for a gyro , ill go to efes. Pictures below. read more

Fantastic - everything was fresh and delicious. Falafel is the best in New Brunswick.

Food is just okay. Don't expect the quality from a sit-down middle Eastern restaurant like Sahara. The bread was honestly a bit sad (crumbly and not fresh tasting), baba ghanoush was a little disappointing (too hummusy), the sandwich was what was expected but nothing more (see the picture, it will tell you). But why am I giving 4 stars? Convenience. It's fast, reasonably not unhealthy, and the price is fair (not super cheap either though). If you want middle Eastern without the hassle of going to a great place, this is a viable option. read more

Ordered felafel sandwich, shawarma on pita, lentil soup and shawarma platter. The person in our party who ate the shawarma platter enjoyed it. It was good. The lentil soup was ok. It has tasted better and less watery in the past.

I was in town for work and saw this place while walking around and had to try it! I'm so glad I did. I had the lamb shwarma on a salad (there's a rice option as well). The lamb was so good! The pita that came with it was okay. I also had a mint lemonade, though the mint taste was barely perceptible. If I'm ever in the area again I'll be sure to visit. read more

Mamoun's is always a solid choice in my opinion. It's affordable, quick, and tasty and honestly you can never go wrong with Mamoun's especially if you just need a quick meal. My friend ordered two sandwiches, honestly don't even know which ones he ordered but he killed them real quick. I ordered the falafel plate with salad and really enjoyed it. The falafel was crispy and seasoned well. I was afraid as we had it delivered and it might've gone soggy as I ate it a bit after we got it, but it wasn't soggy at all. It was also pretty filling. The sauce is so spicy but definitely adds a level of flavor to it. read more

Food 4 stars Price / value for money 2 stars It has become high end version of fast food of falafel place At 40% less price - I would give it a solid 4 stars With whole wheat pita option and 40% discount - 4.5 stars The taste does not seem original. Food tastes good but not great Would I still come back to this place - sure when I have no other healthy option. Cheers read more

Aint anything wrong here! I just love their hot sauce and the mango juice! I have been to Manhattan spots but was pleasantly surprised they have one on Easton Av right opposite to CINJ/Rutgers. My stomach will be peaceful now for a long time! I find that their hot sauce given in small cups in store is hotter than what they sell in bottles, just an polite palate query, anyone else felt that? read more

Part of my order was missing. So I tried calling the restaurant multiple times to get no answer. Trying to get a hold of somebody there it's like next to impossible. Never mind the fact that i drive 20 min To get there to pick up my food. So I drive all the way back another 20 min after I relize I'm missing my desserts and I tell the guy who was at the register. I was just here 40 min ago and I was missing my 2 desserts i ordered. And I had my receipt in hand. He got really nasty and told me I should have called the restaurant lmao... I'm my mind I'm like is this guy joking he proceeded to tell me how busy it was and I proceeded to let him know I already did call the restaurant and nobody answered. So he continued to become more nasty and I told him you think I'm going to drive back and forth 20min in each direction to heckle you over 2 desserts I paid for. I'm the last person to look for some type of handout !! People like this have no respect, there just mad at the world but you know what I def won't be coming back here again unless the president of the company calls me !!! This is absurd how i was treated over 2 missing desserts. Lesson here is check your bags before you leave the restaurant they staple them up really nice making you think all your food is there and you come home to find out there Incompetent worker who don't give one flying hoot about his job and how the customer is treated. OHHHH and by the way the Shawarma was dry and had no flavor... back in Manhattan this don't happen. This place is a fraud they have no right to carry the Mamoun's legacy. read more

Always love Mamouns food. Esp their hot sauce with wraps. And baklava of course :). Parking is a bit of headache .. you will probably park 5 mins away ... shawarma is really good .

Dropping down to a two star now because on top of the poor experience, management reached out below via Yelp for me to contact them via email. While I was surprised and happy to see they seemed to care I reached out via email to them promptly including screenshots and they never responded back. I feel like if they ask you to reach out to rectify the situation they should at least follow through and not do it just to take it look like they care on Yelp. I'll update this if they ever get back to me..#ghosted read more
