mmm Mamoun's Falafel

Mamoun's Falafel
119 Macdougal Street
New York, NY 10012

Fast, cheap and good.  Especially when you're drunk or have the munchies.  Mamoun's is a mainstay of the NYU college scene and serves excellent falafel and shwarma.  It is in a tiny hole-in-the wall place in the Village.  Basically, just look for the line outside.

We ducked into Mamoun's during the Winter Jazz Fest last month for a quick bite.



Mamoun's counter.  There are a couple of tables, if you are lucky to snag them.  Personally, the best way to eat your falfel/shwarma is standing up, while trying not to get the yummy bits on your clothes.

Lamb shwarma.  This is what DJKung always gets.  It's flavorful and always hits the spot. 

I always get the falafel sandwich.  You get crispy falafel, crunchy veggies and smoky tahini sauce, all in a nfresh pita pocket.   The veggies more often than not are quite bland, but it's still very refreshing.
