" This place is famous for a reason! I stopped in for a quick lunch and was thoroughly impressed. The falafel was super tasty and crispy, and I loved the fresh vegetables they included in the wrap. The crowd was very lively, and even though the interior is small, everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. Parking is a bit of a challenge in the area, but it's worth it for the food. Just be prepared to pay cash, as they do not accept credit cards! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been to Mamoun's many times over the years and it has consistently been excellent. Their falafel is crispy and properly spiced. The sandwiches are larger than I expected, and the value is tremendous. However, the seating situation is something to be desired as it’s quite limited. Noticing the decor and cleanliness could greatly enhance the overall experience, but I still love the food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't express how much I love Mamoun's! The flavors of their falafel remind me of my travels through the Middle East. Every bite is packed with a blend of spices that evoke memories of sunny days spent at street markets. While the seating can be a little uncomfortable, it's worth it for such authentic food. I always make it a point to visit whenever I'm in NYC. Highly recommend their hummus as well! " (*Curated Review*)

" I discovered Mamoun's after moving to NYC, and it’s quickly become one of my go-to spots. The sandwiches are hearty, and the falafel hits all the right notes – crisp on the outside and soft inside. I love how quick they are, which is perfect for a lunch break. Seating is limited, yes, but I usually take my meal to-go and enjoy it in the park nearby. A reliable and satisfying meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" While on a food crawl, I made sure to include Mamoun's in my list of places to visit. The falafel taste and texture were spot on, combining a perfect crunch and spice. However, I was a bit let down by the cleanliness of the space. It felt a bit chaotic, and cleanliness should be a priority, especially with food prep areas. I enjoyed my meal but hope they can improve on that next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I hit up Mamoun's after a night out, and the late-night falafel was exactly what we needed! The sandwiches were delicious, and the portions were quite generous for the price. The only downside was the limited seating and the fact they only accept cash. Other than that, I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a late-night bite. " (*Curated Review*)

" Mamoun’s has been on my list for ages, and I finally got around to trying it! The falafel was fantastic, with a great crunch and a lovely flavor. While I wish the sandwiches were a tad bit bigger, I understood the cash-only policy beforehand and planned accordingly. For those seeking authentic Middle Eastern fare, Mamoun's is a must-try in New York City. I can’t wait to go back. " (*Curated Review*)
