"Rivals as one of the best Middle Eastern restaurants, with tiny “hole in the wall” charm, and 4 star ratings. Featured in 1000 Places To See Before You Die, this is delicious, cheap, and fast." - 345 Design
"Through places like this, you get to understand the history of immigration and how these people have survived; I think it’s 60 years old, and immigrants are the reason the city becomes so great." - Michael He
"This outpost of NYC’s oldest falafel restaurant opened in 2020 just west of Atlantic Station. Expect falafel, shawarma, and kebabs served as sandwiches and plates here, paired with sides of seasoned fries, rice, and lentil soup. The pita bread is baked fresh daily, too. All halal items on the menu are clearly marked, as are gluten-free and vegetarian dishes. Order the Sullivan sandwich consisting of chicken kebab, hummus, tabbouleh salad, olive oil, and lemon juice." - Eater Staff
"Everybody’s had a falafel sandwich from Mamoun’s, right? What’s that? You haven’t? You clearly aren’t a) broke enough or b) smart enough. Get with the game no matter what you’ve got in your bank and hit Mamoun’s for a $4 falafel hummus sandwich that will blow your mind." - chris stang
"If you’ve ever left Down The Hatch or McSorley’s after 2am, then you are probably familiar with Mamoun’s. And even if you haven’t, you should still acquaint yourself with the best $3.50 you can spend around NYU. The falafel and shawarma are both good options, and you can choose a platter rather than sandwich if you want more food." - hannah albertine, matt tervooren
