Mamoun’s Falafel has been serving high quality Middle Eastern food since it first opened its doors in New York’s Greenwich Village in 1971. The family-owned restaurant is not only the oldest falafel restaurant in the city, but also the most famous. Loyal fans range from native New Yorkers and tourists to famous actors and musicians. Mamoun’s Falafel makes everything from scratch in a commissary kitchen and onsite using only the freshest ingredients, finest imported spices, and signature recipes. They were highlighted on ‘Best Cheap Eats in the U.S.’ and by celebrity Chef and TV host Rachael Ray. Mamoun’s Falafel franchise has taken over the NYC metro area, the largest mass gathering area in the country. They’re coming to Los Angeles and Chicago next. It’s no surprise that these are the second and third largest mass gathering areas in the US.
