“…This salad is different from all other salads, inspiring onlookers to stop in their tracks and this writer to christen vegetables.”

“With shops on three continents, Amsterdam-born Maoz Vegetarian is a falafel chain that’s achieved the success other such ventures might envy.”

“This falafel spot is the first New York location of a European chain, but it won’t be the last if the long lines of lunching nine to fivers are any indication.”

“Maoz is cheap and healthier than a standard fast-food
eatery. The lines may be long, but the staff works quickly to get you in and out.-“

“When Maoz opened it’s bright lime-green shop in March, the lines quickly started forming …”

“The beauty of the self-serve fixings bar is that you can customize to your heart’s content; the downside is that you may come to the conclusion that the making of a well-balanced, structurally sound falafel sandwich is a job best left to the professionals.”

“Is the country ready for a national vegetarian chain? I think it’s a fact; it’s not really a question anymore.”

“The combination of falafel, salad and juices make it the perfect option for people on the go.”

“At Maoz Vegetarian, falafel is available in a pita sandwich, a salad, or as a side item. Several toppings, eight sauces, and a salad bar help fill the pita pockets. The combo deals include choices of Mediterranean favorites, such as Hummus and Babaghanoush.”

“Our favorite restaurant chain, by far”

“a stunningly simple, yet highly compelling, concept that’s vegetarian in nature but appeals to carnivores as well. With today’s emphasis on fast, healthy food that’s inexpensive I think they might just be on to something.”
