Good, fresh food. - Edit
I ordered the falafel salad, which I forgot to take a picture of.
Read moreThey sell nice and simple vegan food for a good price, which was exactly what I was looking for.
However, the instructions were a bit unclear and the staff wasn't very helpful.
Will definitely buy food here again.
Pros: Affordable , Fresh, Tasty
Cons: Small shop, Could use better instructions

Good falafel, complicated serving system - Edit
We tried the falafel wrapped in the whole wheat pita. The food was savoury, but we could not really understand how in times of Coronavirus the clients have to serve themselves and touch what everybody else has already touched (even though gloves were provided), but still, they could adapt their system (at least temporarily) to the current situation.

Favorite falafel pita - Edit
It has no nice atmosphere to sit, but the food is worth it. For a small price you can buy a falafel pita and refill it with the toppings bar. I love that they are all vegan now!
Read morePros: Great falafel, Cheap
Cons: Not cozy to sit, Can be crowded

Read moreFood is delicious and cheap. There is a large choice of vegetables... Staff is friendly, but the restaurant doesn't have enough seats.
Pros: Vegan and cheap, Good location, Friendly staff

A gem - Edit
If you love falafel, you need to come here. Big pita filled to the brim with falafel or mushroom shawarma and then you can add as much as you want from the salad bar which includes cucumber, tomatoes, onion and olives (among other items). Very delicious. Minimal seating unfortunately so most people took theirs to go.

Simple and fresh - Edit
I been there almost everyday as this was the most delicious food I could trust, Nice location and easy access. You order your main ingredients then you are free to add salad inside and sauce. Chips are really lovely as well, very crunchy and fresh.

Delicious and filling - Edit
You can choose between Pita Bread or a Bowl, I chose Pita bread with falafel (mushrooms, guacamole, aubergine options available), you can ask for them to put hummus for free as well and then it’s a salad self service, they have some mayos included, the garlic one is very tasty! A small pita is 4,95€ and a regular is 5,95€ (regular is fulfilling)

Good but nothing special - Edit
I tried both falafel and mushrooms in pita. They were fine, can't say it was really fulling eventhough you make it a menu. It was considerably cheap.

Best Falafel Ever! - Edit
Have been eating at Maoz Falafel for 25 years. Have yet to eat better. The bread is always fresh and there's a choice of white or wholemeal ✅ falafel balls always crunchy on the outside and fluffy in the middle with perfect spicing. Unlimited salads and sauces, creamy delicious houmous, crispy fried aubergine and chips make this the best value vegan food you can eat. I never tire of it!
Read morePros: All vegan, unlimited salads & toppings, Superb value for money
Cons: Small inside, Usually busy, Not much room to manoeuvre

Few options but cheap and tasty - Edit
Limited options of salad, falafel pitta, or mushroom shoarma - and fries - but really yummy. You can add your own salad and sauces to the pittas and fries and there’s lots to choice from. Great for a quick cheap eat.

OK - Edit
The only reason I ate here, was out of convenience, because it was the first place that popped up, after a day of flying without any food and being very jetlagged. I had the mushroom in pita, which I somehow expected to be deepfried. It was okay, but would not go again, unless they were open late at night, coming back from a club or something.
Read moreThe sauces were really good though.

Filling! - Edit
Great falafel pita with chips and spicy mayo. Really tasty food on the go. Got both for 9 euros which was okay price wise. They fill your pita with lettuce to reduce the options when you help yourself to your choice of fillings. However, no regrets.
Read morePros: Tasty, Filling
Cons: Limited options, Staff could have a smile on their faces
