“ We have been going to Mamoun's since 1978- the falafel is so original to my experiences in the middle east and the tabouleh is excellent. The environment is very simple and service is sufficient. The owners have been true to their menu and consistent for 44 years! Delicious soups, and love eating there! ”
“ Classic New Haven restaurant that has lasted for a reason. My favorites are lamb shawarma, Syrian rice, spinach pockets, falafels and baklava. I always order tea with honey. This restaurant has lasted for a reason. It now accepts credit cards too. Note: the tomatoes have never been good here but they have improved slightly in recent years. The usual waitress knows what she's doing and is pleasant without being fake. ”
“ Amazing food at terrific prices! We got a side of seasoned fries with our falafel + hummus sandwich and a babaganoush sandwich. My fav was babaganoush, the flavours came together so well with the sauces and veggies. The falafel was a tad bit spicy for me but nothing that would stop me from finishing it hehe. The fries were done well, we enjoyed it in between our bites. One thing that was a bit odd to me is that the place does not serve water, there's only bottled water to buy. Overall I really enjoyed the food and we got all of this for $19 which I thought was amazing for the quantity. ”
“ GET THE FALAFEL SANDWICH! An event had catered a ton of vegan falafel sandwiches for us and they were so good- the falafel is so crispy and not dry at all. There were extras after the event and we all grabbed several to take home because they were so good. I microwaved them in the two days after the event and they were still absolutely delicious even reheated. Highly highly recommend. ”
“ Classic affordable falafel and shawarma sandwiches and platters, open 365 days a year. It's my most frequented spot in all of New Haven. Fast service. I live down the block and have acquired a falafel sandwich ($5.32 including tax) within five minutes. Generous indoor and outdoor seating. ”
“ A lot of people come here to order takeout, but I had the pleasure of dining in! You let the server at the front know, pick a table, and the server will take your order after you're seated. -Falafel plate: 4/5 Comes with 5 falafels and two free pita bread! The falafels were amazing, but the salad itself wasn't too filling given its ingredients (lettuce, tomatoes, onions). Service was super attentive and friendly, so I'm rounding my review up to 5/5. Would love to try dropping by around midnight at some point too! ”
