I've been going to Mamoun's for over 20 years and it has never let me down. These falafel's serve as the gold standard: lush, well-seasoned, crispy on the outside/fluffy on the inside...and the hummus and baba are top notch. The place is a hole in the wall, but how do you explain lines out the door at 3am...in the winter!?!?!? Simple...it's the quintessential post-Village party sandwich! They serve only 3-4 things on the menu, but they do it well....20 years from now they will still churn out the best falafels for a couple of bucks. This humble hole is exactly the kind of place that makes NYC and the Village great!
