Story & Atmosphere
Welcome to Mamoun's Falafel, a cherished eatery nestled in the heart of New Brunswick, NJ, at 58 Easton Ave. Renowned for its vibrant flavors and quick service, this spot has become a favorite among locals and visitors alike. Whether you're in the mood for a hearty sandwich or a delectable side, Mamoun's serves up a culinary experience that leaves a lasting impression.
With a menu highlighted by their signature falafel sandwiches, Mamoun's prides itself on maintaining an authentic flavor that has endeared itself to many. As customer Bil Ka puts it, "I had the Shawarma which was fantastic!" The combination of textures and flavors in each bite is truly something to savor. Although some might prefer the variant offerings at their other locations, the consistency remains strong here. The falafel is crispy on the outside and fluffy within, elevating each sandwich to an art form.
One of the standout items is their famous hot sauce. It packs a powerful punch with a heat that many find exhilarating, though, as Krish Sharma notes, "2oz goes a long way." Plan accordingly if you're sensitive to spice! Additionally, the creamy hummus is a popular choice, although it’s worth noting that its saltiness may not suit everyone’s preference, particularly those watching their sodium intake.
Mamoun's also offers a variety of other Middle Eastern dishes, including kebabs and chicken options, ensuring that there’s something for everyone. While the venue may be on the smaller side with limited seating, it's a testament to the fast, friendly service that keeps guests returning, as seen in Amer Abu Shanab's experience: "Overall good experience." The small outdoor dining area provides a perfect spot for people-watching in this dynamic college town.
While parking can be challenging, the reward of indulging in Mamoun's expertly crafted dishes is undeniably worth the effort. As a reviewer, I can't help but appreciate the consistency and quality they've delivered over the years. Each visit is a delightful reminder of why Mamoun's Falafel has captivated many with its irresistible flavors and welcoming atmosphere.
So whether you’re a local or just passing through, make sure to carve out some time for a delicious meal at Mamoun's Falafel—you won't regret it!
“ Excellent food. Stopped in for a sandwich on my way to a meeting in New Brunswick. I had the Shawarma which was fantastic! I don't get to New Brunswick often but now I know where to go for a quick bite to eat! ”
“ Their signature falafel sandwiches are awesome. Recipe never changed and it’s been a treat every time we order. Their hummus was very salty, if you are in a low sodium diet, stay away from their hummas. Their hot sauce is so hot it literally burns your mouth. So 2oz is goes a long way. Over all very good experience and one of fav stops for a quick bite. Oh btw, you can never find parking by that place. We parked like two streets away and walked to get there. ”
“ First time visiting this location. Somehow it was missing the original taste and quality from the one in Hoboken and also in NY area. Almost same menu and vegetarian options. The quality of Baklava wasn’t good surprisingly! The famous “ Hot sauce” same taste and same kick too. No parking, you ll have to find street parking. Limited seating space. Quick service. Staff were good , friendly. Preferred to order upfront via online or through the other food delivering services. ”
“ This is one of the best place to get Falafel. Over past couple of years , they are still providing same tasty food. Located walkable distance from New Brunswick train station in vibrant college town. If you are riding car, parking may be challenging but worth it. They have small dining area as well few outdoor tables. Service was quick. ”
“ Great Falafel restaurant, with amazing taste and texture. The Falafel was so good, and the sandwich was full and delicious. Other options including Kabab and chicken which was fine. Parking might be an issue sometimes. The place was small in size from inside. Overall good experience. ”
