Mamoun’s Falafel Restaurant

WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU MAMOUN’S?! My SO and I were dying an hour after eating our platters. TOO.DARN.SALTY. The sodium level in one meal is certainly more than what should be an annual intake. We desperately doused our organs in buckets of water to no avail.
The falafels are still quite good but even that was saltier than before. The mint lemonade and mango juices were on point– quenched my thirst and my sweet craving on a very hot summer day.
The hot sauce is still unbeatable, but I’m likely staying away from this joint until my aversion to heavy salting subsides a bit (I’ll likely forget and get myself half killed again).

First visit to Momoun’s. Amazing food, authentic and very affordable! The falafel is really good, though the iced tea could be a lot better. The outside seating adds the fifth star to the place. I am definitely visiting again.

This is definitely the go to spot for falafel, Great flavor, reasonable prices. The mango drink seemed watered down for a $ 2.00 cup. tehini is poured on the falafel even if you dont request it so my advice is tell them to put it on the side, I personally like Tizaki better but they don’t offer that as of yet. Next time I will try the shaworma. But this is a great place to come eat in hoboken!

I feel like this place is always raising their prices… Perfect spot to eat out late night, I believe they’re open until 3am. I got the Chicken Kebab Plate served with Salad. The Mabrumeh dessert is beyond my favorite! Mango juice was refreshing. The Baba Ganouj wasn’t up to my expectations, I’ve had it before and it just didn’t taste as refreshing to me. Last night the chicken was very salty, but overall their stuff is pretty good.
The workers all have cool personalities :)

My first meal back from having my tonsils removed, not regretting it either.
I got the chicken sandwich, which was quite delicious but felt a little dry to me, but a dap of hummus cured it.
The rice in my option has a lot going on, many different spices and flavors and I wasnt a huge fan of it.
The hummus is delicious! My favorite thing there honestly. I buy the bigger portion and take it home for later.

I remember going to the Mamoun’s in the Village back in the day. The falafels were $ 2 then. Now they are $ 3.50 and they taste just as good. Add the hot sauce and they taste even better. Just don’t go too crazy with the hot sauce.
I will definitely go back the next time I’m in the area.

First time trying mamoun’s and the Unilocal reviews are very accurate. I’ve been to flatbread grill and it has been good, but mamoun’s seems more authentic. I got the meat combo platter with chicken, hummus, falafel and salad and it is enough food for two meals! The prices are also really good. When I went to pick up my order the restaurant was pretty busy and a lot of people were waiting for their to-​go orders. Will definitely be a return customer.

One of my favorite falafel places! The baklava is one of the best I have had and a huge fan of the sides of hummus and grape leaves. Oh and the mango juice is really good too! Great weeknight cheap date spot!

I looooove their chicken sandwich!!! Being an Indian, I enjoy my chicken spiced up and juicy and this place successfully satisfied that craving!
The chicken was well roasted and loaded with spices. It was near perfect!
My problem is their falafel platter. My husband ordered it and was served with horrible bread, so dry and inedible! Also, their rice is not flavorful but filed with garam masala, not a very healthy thing! But yes, that platter saved him because of the crispy falafel they serve. So we would never have the falafel platter but chicken!!!
Ps. Hot sauce is hotter than halal guys! Believe me.

Not a big fan of their mint lemonade, I feel like the mint isn’t fresh which would make a huge difference. BUT… their falafel is on point. Absolutely addicted, I crave it all the time. My friend from Cali came with me to Jersey and all she ate was falafel. Perhaps she would pick this over NJ/​NY pizza.
They are a little stingy with their white sauce but by now they probably know me by my name ;)

Mamoun’s is a great delivery and late night option. I’ve been here multiple times and have never been disappointed. Food is always hot and fresh, and portions are generous considering the low price.

what was it… maybe 4 am. jesus christ iv been up for a long time. running off 3 hours of sleep since thursday, i veered off 495 on my way back to the city to get the only thing that’s open at this crazy hour… mamouns.
well, fuck maybe diners are open in jersey, but the point being, for the hour, for the craving, when i say the name pop on google maps, it was an obvious beeline.
and you know its late when there’s parking right in front of the spot. nobodys there, goddamn, just me ordering chicken kebob, shwarma and falafel sandwiches. no regard to when im going to eat them all, just knowing that i want it all and i dont want to compromise.
jump back in the car and fly back to into the city, flash forward not even 10 minutes later laying in bed making love to a sandwich. or was i standing up? i devoured the falafel and started on the chicken but tossed it all in the fridge. mamouns the next morning, which is when im writing this, absorbs last night’s sin so effectively. they’re practically hamburgers in terms of nutritional value, except i would argue they taste way better.
i realize too this is like the 3^rd mamouns iv reviewed on Unilocal,i guess you could say its my favorite place to eat period? is that crazy. no. i think that’s totally justifiable.
open around the clock, oddly wherever the fuck i am, and mouthwateringly delicious every single time.

This place was so delicious. The service was a little slow, although the food was fresh hot and delicious so it is worth a little wait. It is a small, relaxed and casual restaurant. Great spot for a cheap, filling and delicious meal. I can’t wait to go back! YUM!

This is probably one of my all time favorite spots to eat at. I will drive distances to get my damn falafel sandwich. This place is so great that my friend that lives four hours away is begging me to bring their food in bundles.
Listen try this restaurant out whenever, whether it’s 3am leaving tally ho’s drunk or you have five dollars to your name this place will keep you satisfied (because the items are amazingly priced). The staff is always friendly so make sure to leave a tip. The place is sometimes messy but honestly the rushes they get are insane so I don’t care about cleaning another person’s mess sometimes. Oh and their hot sauce will have you tearing up a bit but craving for more.
Five stars forever and ever, it’s 1:35am and I’m two seconds away from driving there right now. (oh another perk is that they are open till late!)

Back to four stars (from five) for Mamoun’s. Still good, but with the price increases and some inconsistency in several recent purchases, I think four is the right number. The falafel pita at $ 3.50 is still quite a bargain in Hoboken.

I love this place. It’s straightforward. It’s always good. The staff (while looking a little like male strippers which is all good) are efficient and pleasant and do their job really well. They speak fluent bro.
I always order the grilled chicken sandwich and it’s delicious. It’s basically grilled grilled chicken and salad in a pita — so no guilt. I love spicy stuff like no one but their hot sauce is out of control spicy, so I mix it with their tahini and wow. Perfect!
Their hummus, in all honesty could be updated a little along with their baba, but it’s still solid. Old school good.
Desserts are great as are their lemonades.
Great casual place.

After a day of traveling for the holidays, I came back to Hoboken starving. Luckily, Mamouns was opened and I could stuff my face with one of their plates.
The menu is not extensive but what they have they do very well. You have the option of sandwich or plate, the plate can be easily split between two people if you’re looking to skip the pita bread.
I love their shawrma and chicken. Additionally, honorable mentions are their desserts (literally every single dessert is worth a try, they’re super flaky and just plain delicious) and also their juices (mint lemonade and tamarind).
Great quality and consistent food for a chain. It gets packed in here as it’s a great late night spot and also they deliver, which can sometimes take a while but well worth it.

We went for shawarma the day after Xmas and both of us were pretty hungry. The meat in the pita was a chewy challenge instead of the expected succulent mouthful. At one point my companion thought he had bit down on a bone but it was a shred of ossified jerky.
Having been a long time customer at Mamouns on MacDougal and St. Marks, this NJ experience was a surprise. Save your shekels and pass on Mamouns during a Holiday weekend.

I can’t take my mother anywhere. I’ve driven her to Jersey on at least 666 occasions, and every time, she exposes her bottom to the staff. Some of them think it’s gross, some think it’s funny, and that one creepy hairy guy in the back seems to actually enjoy it a little bit too much, if his burly grunts are anything to go by. I don’t know why my «Ma moons» them but what I do know is, it’s become so famous here in Ho-​boken, that they have renamed the restaurant after these predictable moonings, accordingly.
What to get: Pita combo with Falafel and Shawarma
What else: I have a super hot Unilocal friend who lives just near this location (hi!)
Why this Mamoun’s: Best service and best food of any location
If the employees thought my mother was a cow (they may do by now), it’d be Ma-​moos.
My best experiences of Mamoun’s of Hoboken are when I leave Buffalo shortly before Midnight, and then still manage to miraculously make it to this location before they close, which is 5am on Fri and Sat. I actually managed to roll in here by about 4.47am before a 5am close, after a 6-​hour-​high-​speed drive from Buffalo. Not only did they serve me, but gave me a bunch of free stuff. Customer service was absolutely exemplary. Quite the opposite of that waitress in Syracuse. Mamoun’s has some of the best customer service anywhere. Lovely guys.
If a hot Unilocal girl in Texas sent me a music player to work out to, it’d be Ma-Zune’s.
Hummus World (Long Island) was the best until it closed down. Mamoun’s is the best that is still alive, it’s exemplary and incomparably delicious. OK, their shawarma is a little grizzly and fatty and chewy. Tastes delish though. OK, their Ho-​boken location is small. But my goodness this pita sandwich is otherworldly and perfect. I pita the fool that disagrees.
If Bart Simpson and Eric Cartman were regulars here (Eric is a regular everywhere), they’d be Ma-​Cartoons.
Get the shawarma and falafel combo in a pita. It’s just $ 6.50 and stuff it with *everything*. When I say everything, I mean pickles, hummus, crazy flavourful bits n pieces of spiced veggies, drizzled with tahini. It comes together into an absolute miracle.
If all the guys in here had a crush on me (or my Mum), they’d be Ma-​Swoons.
They do have other stuff like Kofte and Chicken. But I’m never able to stray from the tried and trusted Shawarma + Falafel combo in a Pita. It’s so good.
If you saw Tom Green’s fave bird here, they’d be Ma-Loon’s. And that’s not very fun. When you always expose your bum. Or rather your Mum. Or rather she exposes her own Bum. Maybe it’s where I get it from.
I’ve also tried the Mabrumeh, which is a honey-​drenched nutty dessert similar to Baklava, and is absolutely delicious and well worth a try. Notice that dessert sounds like desert, so no wonder the Middle-​Easterners make good ones. I first had it here, and it’s amazing.
If they sold digital songs whereby the artist got almost no profit, they’d be Ma-​itunes.
As well as the ridiculously low price (NYC area and yet 6.50 for a stuffed pita full of heaven), there’s the added bonus of their hours. 5am on Fri and Sat, and 1, 2 or 3 on other nights. So you can come for breakfast if you’re insane and up early. The MacDougal Manhattan location is open til 5am every night!
If they closed at 12pm instead of 5am, they’d be Ma-noon’s.
Since Hummus World is gone, get one of these Mamoun’s these combo pita sandwiches with everything in it. It’s so good, you may cry. Middle Eastern deliciousness at its best. Until HW is resurrected, Mamoun’s is my favourite pita kebab in all of New York State, and possibly in the USA.
And if they had big scary sand worms (no not my sand-​worm, but actual sci-​fi sand worms) then they’d be Ma-Dune’s. Or after my sex change, then Ma-P**n’s. Wait, what? You didn’t know I was having a sex change? Yeah Eva talked me into it. She said she usually prefers men but for me, she just gets a «girlie vibe.» I dunno if this is a good thing or not, but she says that after the operation she will show me a very, very good thing.
And when people say «your life has been a rollercoaster… does it ever get hard?» Then I’ll finally be able to say «no, never. Not even partially.» And mean it. I think that will make me feel great about myself.
Besides, becoming a girl worked for Starlight’s favourite boy-​turned girl, Cat-​lyn Jenner. It worked for Zac Afro, The Artist Formerly Known As Pint-​Sized, and Justine Belieber. Then I saw her face. Now I’m a Belieber. Not a trace of doubt in my mind. I’m in love with Justin Belieber, I hope he leaves Selena tonight. Oh, wait, I missed the boat on that one. Sweaty.
What I do know, and nobody can ever tell me otherwise, is that shorty is an eenie meanie miny moe lover. However when it comes to Falafel and Shawarma sandwiches, there is no choice for her to make. She goes straight for Mamoun’s. Not that she ever goes straight, mind you. But you knew what I meant. That’s my Justine Belieber. Totes heart you JB. xxxxxxxxxxxxx.

Si querés comer rico, rápido y muy barato, este es tu lugar.
Nos encontramos éste local de la franquicia casi sin querer porque estaba muy cerca de donde nos estuvimos quedando, y fuimos un par de veces. Una vez pedimos el falafel sandwich, que ya conocíamos y me encanta, más un puré de garbanzos y estaba todo buenísimo. La siguiente vez decidimos probar unos platos que tienen de menú, el mío vegetariano y el de mi novio con carne, y estaban bien pero no eran lo mejor, sin dudas me quedo con el falafel sandwich.
También pedimos unas limonadas con menta que estaban muy buenas, y a muy buen precio.
El local es muy limpio, te atienden muy rápido y la comida sale casi enseguida.
A demás abre hasta tarde.

If you love Mediterranean food, you must try this place out! They are always packed no matter what hour of the day. They have several tables inside and outside for those nice summer days. Even though they are always crazy busy, food comes out in a timely fashion.
The Falafel sandwich is absolutely delicious ($ 3.50 each). For those that don’t know, its deep fried chickpeas, fava beans or sometimes both, and usually put in pita bread with lettuce, tomatoes, and hummus or tahini sauce. Its great for vegetarians and vegans as well. The falafel here are perfectly crispy, filled with flavor and compliment the toppings nicely. My only dislike is that the bread isn’t strong enough to hold the sauce they use. So halfway in, it tends to break apart and fall off. Easy fix is just getting the sauce on the side, and that solves the problem.
Kafta sandwich is to die for. The Lamb patty is seasoned perfectly and has great flavors. Although I wish the patty was a bit thicker, for $ 6.50 I really can’t complain. For dessert, I shared a knafe, it was very sweet and loaded with honey, one bite and I was done, it is good but can’t have the whole piece by yourself.
Prices are very reasonable, I suggest to get 2 sandwiches since one isn’t going to fill anyone up unless your on a strict diet. They play Arabia music in the background so don’t be surprised when you hear it. If your in the area, you can’t pass this place up, It’s a must try for all ages and budgets.
