“ Located on St. Marks Pl, this branch sits in a bustling part of East Village and features the lively atmosphere of the city. I had the Chicken Kebab Sandwich as a part of a catered order, and the chicken was warm and juicy. All the sandwiches come in a pita with lettuce, tomato, onions, and tabineh sauce. The catered order arrived with the correct amount of sandwiches. ”

“ I ordered a Shawarma Sandwich (lamb) on the app and came in at the stated time and my order was all ready for me. The sandwich was tasty with juicy lamb slices and a happy balance of flavors. The Tahineh sauce was creamy. I didn't try the hot sauce (but apparently really spicy). A great option for a quick bite. ”

“ No frills. Good for a quick cheap eat and a quick snack. The chicken pita is a bit dry and bland but the sauce helps with that. Pita itself is thin so if you wait too long it'll get soggy. Plenty of seating and outdoor seating is good for people watching. ”

“ I ordered ahead via the website which was easy and convenient to use. My order was ready for me when I arrived! There's some indoor and outdoor seating. I sat outside to enjoy my Macdougal sandwich (mix of chicken shawarma and falafel). The tables are kind of dirty, not sure if they are wiped in between guests. The sandwich was huge and filling. They are super generous with the meat fillings. I thoroughly enjoyed my sandwich. Saved half for later and it was still delicious. I had the sauce on the side but I wasn't a fan of the sauce so I enjoyed my sandwich without any sauces and it was still very flavorful. ”

“ Was happy to find out that there was a Mamoun's right there on St. Marks as I was really craving a lamb shawarma. This establishment is now a chain a draws a decent college goers following. My regular spot has been the one in Greenwich Village, which is usually very crowded. This one is more spacious and has a few tables inside as well as outside. The ordering is through a kiosk, which even for me was pretty easy to follow, and the service was pretty quick. Do try their mint lemonade. ”

“ 2.5/3 Food + Beverages; 1/1 Service; 1/1 Value I cannot believe it took me so many years of living in New York City to make it to Mamoun's, but I'm glad I finally stopped by! The EV location is a casual eatery with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. They have an app for easy ordering ahead, as well as kiosks in-store. I ran into some difficulty while ordering on the kiosk, but the staff was able to ring me up using the number associated with my account for a very quick, and seamless experience. The staff is SUPER fast and equally as friendly! Between the kiosk and ordering at the cashier, I got the Bleecker and Macdougal confused and said the former at first. After realizing my mistake, I asked if it was too late to change it and the staff accommodated the request. It probably took a solid 2-3 minutes for my order to be prepared between ordering and exiting. Normally, this would be a red flag if the order is prepared so quickly that food is not made to order, but this is not the case at Mamoun's since it's just so busy that turnover is very quick. The Macdougal is beef shawarma with falafel, salad, and tahini in a standard plain pita. The beef was great quality with a nice mix of well-seasoned caramelized fatty slices and tender lean protein. The falafel was delicious and certainly lives up to the hype, easily being in my top three falafels I've had in this city. The falafels were well-seasoned, soft and very robust. Everything was fresh and they layered the sandwich such that pieces of salad appeared throughout rather than just on top or the side. The sandwich was a little dry at the end because there was not tahini at the bottom to prevent it from wilting. Next time, I'll definitely try it with a spicy sauce and toum, as I thought these elements were missing from making it a classic shawarma sandwich. For $10, the Macdougal shawarma was super filling and satisfying, easily being a meal on its own. ”

“ Really decent sandwich - I got the lamb shawarma for pickup on a rainy Wednesday and it was still pretty bustling in the restaurant with people ordering to go and picking up as well. There's about 10 seats there and looks like there is usually outdoor seating. The employee was quick with the status update of my order! The lamb shawarma was in a pita pocket with a big portion of sliced lamb, lettuce tomatoes and onions and sauce. It was really good, warm and filling but the only was that at the bottom 1/5 of it is just lettuce so you end with about 2-3 bites of no lamb, just pita and lettuce lol. Good for a quick bite! ”

“ Whether you're a vegetarian or a meat lover, this spot is for you. Mamoun's Falafel is a quick serve sit down eatery with delicious options. The falafel is crispy and flavorful and the lamb was also very good. They stuffed both sandwiches nicely and the food was ready quickly. The only downside is that seating is very limited so if you come during a busy time, you may have no choice but to take it to go. ”

“ Came on a Sat afternoon and it was rightfully busy! This is my favorite spot to get tasty + affordable falafel sandwiches. I ordered the Classic in the past and enjoyed it a lot, so I ordered the West Village this time. The baba ghanouj in the sandwich gave a delicious addition to the tahini and paired perfectly with the falafel! I personally didn't find the overall taste of West Village to be MUCH different from the Classic, besides the pickles adding a sour crunch, but it was still very yummy + great to try something new! There's some indoor seating, but it gets packed quickly. There's also outdoor seating, but likely only taken when the weather is warmer. Overall, a great + affordable spot for a quick bite - 10/10 recommend!! ”
