Both pitas were good, filling, and as others have mentioned, I also forgot to ask for sauces they offer only if asked, which might have taken the pita from a 4 to a 5 (unlikely). Solid spot for lunch and it gets busy, so get there a bit early to avoid the line and the rush when assembling your order.

Upon entering, the space seems limited, seating for a total of 6-8 people max. We went simple this time for a falafel pita. Ordering was cafeteria style with two people manning the station. The wait after ordering was around 5-10mins and it didn't come with sauces either. Only later found out you can ask for them thanks to another customer letting us know. The pita Falafel was average, a little dry for me, maybe if I had the sauces, then it would have changed the flavor/texture?, only suggestion would be to offer add-ons/sauces if that's a option.

Everything was fresh, well-seasoned, and clearly made with care. This was a small hole-in-the-wall spot, but it really impressed us. I also got to try the rice and grain, which were both absolutely delicious. Our server, I believe named Faresh, was very attentive and welcoming, and did a great job making the experience even better. The restaurant was busy, and I even overheard someone say it's the best Turkish/Mediterranean spot in town. I'd honestly agree. Portions were generous, especially the sandwiches, which were huge. I will definitely be coming back.

They've been around for decades, and were renowned for their falafel sandwiches. Fast forward to 2026, and sadly, the Mamoun's I used to love no longer exists. Same location but now terrible falafels! Just awful!! My Falafel sandwich was made with what seemed like a hard supermarket pita pocket, loaded with a ridiculous amount of iceburge lettuce, with 3 half falafel balls which I could barely see or taste. It only cost $6.50 but you're basically paying for a lettuce pita sandwich! I wish I had remembered to take a photo to show you all, but I was so distracted & disturbed by my lettuce sandwich, that I forgot! What a disappointment.

No rush, we sat in the back so as not to be bothered, as it's a somewhat small space. But it comes with big flavor and freshness. We'll be back for sure.
