    Definitely a really good option for cheap eats and it’s totally vegan. I loved the falafel wrap and the salad box. You can choose the salads you need and it’s all fresh. The lady who served me was very sweet and helped me choose the fillings. It’s a cosy place and nothing fancy. So if you are looking for a quick bite while you explore Amsterdam this is the place to go.

    Best Falafel Ever. So tasty 😋 and healthy. Everything is so fresh. Best falafel in Amsterdam. Vegetarian and vegan friendly.. that spicy green chutney was so good.

    Best Falafel in Pita Bread in Amsterdam, right across the Amsterdam Centraal (Railway station) - it's besides Mannekenpis. Reasonably priced for such a healthy food option that too with multiple servings till you have the Bread. It's a small eatery - usually crowded so although they have sitting arrangements, people usually stand across.

    Delicious falafel. Fresh, soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside. I like the fact that you can put by yourself whatever you want in your pita. Recommend!!! The downside: small spaces to sit and enjoy the meal. A man actually offered to us his table, as he was alone - which we appreciated a lot. Try this pita, you won’t regret it. I posted the updated prices as well

    Best falafel! The pita is good, white or whole wheat, and the toppings are all fresh and tasty. Kitchen is very clean. Two thumbs up.

    Couldn't believe how delicious this was !!! Got the mushroom shawarma, which was yummy, but it was the toppings (which you add yourself) and the sauce that just blew me away!! Such an amazing combo of pickled veggies, creamy sauces, and soft pita. And a super reasonable price (€6.90)!

    Amazing fresh vegan food but 6,90€ for a tiny pita is a bit meh. I would've needed 3-4 of those to be full and that's just way too expensive. So it was just a good snack.

    Hands down the best falafel bar I have been to. The falafel had schug in it, which is not always a given when having different types of falafel. In my opinion, this is when ti is at its tastiest. The options with which to fill your falafel pita with were traditionally Israeli and delivered in taste as well. Having matbucha to drizzle on top of the pita was the cherry on top.

    Very tasty Pita at affordable prizes. Great concept were you can fill your pita yourself, with a big variety of toppings and sauces.

  • 5/5 Stephanie V. 2 months ago on Google • 12 reviews New
    So yummy. I got the fried aubergine pitta which was unreal - the pitta was so soft. You can fill it with whichever toppings you want from the salad bar, and the garlic sauce was unreal.

    I cannot recommend this place enough. Everything is fresh and delicious. The mushroom shawarma and fried eggplant are both fillings to die for. As someone who doesn’t typically eat vegan, I didn’t even miss the meat. There are so many possibilities and flavors and you cannot go wrong. I highly suggest giving the red more puréed salsa a try. It’s great food at a great price. Fries get messy if you get them with sauce, so be warned.

    Delicious, fresh and vegan! What more to ask for in the middle of Amsterdam’s busiest streets!

  • 1/5 IMsoBU 7 months ago on Google
    no spirit of sale, atmosphere of the welcoming of the waitress is just not professional and very unpleasant, in addition to having asked her to pay for the onion sauce, she started to recite me a whole list of rules except I,I just asked herbto pay for an extra sauce, incredible a welcome as such in the morning like that, it clearly leaves something to not be desired

  • 5/5 Yeshi C. 6 months ago on Google
    Very very good falafel. Such amazing fillings and sauces. I ate to my heart's content. And the Indian gentleman managing the place at night was absolutely amazing. So friendly and professional. Really exceeded my expectations.

  • 3/5 Elise F. 10 months ago on Google
    Very nice service, very friendly. The food was alright, not great tho. I liked the falafal at first, but I think it landed wrongly and I did not feel great after. The fries were very good tho!

  • 5/5 Justus B. 10 months ago on Google
    Yes, it's fast food, but it's absolutely delicious, vegan fast food that you can customize to your liking! Had the fried eggplant pita and it was great, especially the sauces! Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Ankit D. 11 months ago on Google
    Small place but great falafel wraps! You can add from the salad bar as many times as you like, if you feel you want that extra dash of ingredient. The lady running the place is very courteous and jovial

  • 5/5 Harshil P. 3 months ago on Google New
    Stopped by here while I was in Amsterdam after the local one in Philly closed down. I was very happy with the food and the service. The atmosphere and the seating could be better but I guess it’s a fast food restaurant so it understandable.

  • 5/5 Noémi S. 4 months ago on Google
    Great food for the price. Plenty as well. If you order a salad bowl you cannot refill it but if you order a pita and you are lucky, you can sit there and refill your pita bread with as much salad as you want (as long as you have the bread to fill). Salad bar items are chickpeas, coleslaw, cucumber, tomato, roasted carrots, olives, onion, pickles amongst others. Perfect if you need a quick vegan bite. (The falafel does contain gluten!)

  • 5/5 Kim D. 2 years ago on Google
    Best falafels in A'dam! I've been getting a pita with falafels for years already. It's a must-go-there everytime I visit the city!

  • 3/5 Gülsu S. 1 year ago on Google
    Very good fallafel wraps and quick service. Too packed. Good luck finding a table. Also expensive for a type of street food.

  • 5/5 Dimitrina K. 1 year ago on Google
    Very delicious vegan food and great price!Also you add yourself as much salads, vegetables and sauces. Very smily ladies working there with positive vibes. :))

  • 5/5 Simone “Zaimon” I. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place where to eat vegan fast food. The falafels are good, and you can add things on your pita by yourself. Perfect for chemical hunger🤣

  • 5/5 Liene �. 1 year ago on Google
    Good option for a fast meal on the way. You can choose what to put in your bread. They also had a whole grain bread. Friendly stuff.

  • 5/5 Sorcha D. 1 year ago on Google
    Mushroom shoarma pitta and fried eggplant shoarma - both delicious with the best pitta bread ever, and good fillings. Great salad bar to top up your pitta from, the pink onions and garlic sauce were my favourite toppings.

  • 5/5 Hrishikesh S. 1 year ago on Google
    My Wife is a vegetarian and unfortunately there aren't too many options for us to eat out. Maoz Vegan is a serious saviour for us on outings when we do not want to eat Fries or anything sweet. The setup is amazingly simplistic and works extremely well, you order a bowl or a bread (white or brown) and then proceed onto fill it with a choice of salad options between 4 types of "Chutney's", pickles, onions, beetroot, olives, couscous, cole slaw etc. The best part about this particular establishment is that unlike the one in Centraal this is relatively less busy so you can take your time and pick your bowl fills at peace, also as a policy you can fill your bowl once, so when filling it you can do it in an order you like (unlike central where you are in a very busy queue which kind of is a let down from an experience standpoint). Amazing place and given an option i would eat here everyday, keep up the good work people :)

  • 5/5 Bart 1 year ago on Google
    Great place to drop by and grab a delicious, stomach-filling pita - the one with falafel is highly recommended. You are welcome to fill the pitas by yourself with fresh, tasty vegetables, sauces and other toppings. And it’s cheap as well!

  • 5/5 Anna P. 1 year ago on Google
    I have a great experience here. I order fries with spicy mayo and fried eggplant. I can belive how good can be thé vegan mayo. But mostly I love the stuff. The woman was so kind, friendly And comunicative

  • 5/5 pratap t r. 1 year ago on Google
    Hot and freshly prepared falafals. Nice salads with spicy home made sauce and we can add special toppings to pita .. Best veggie food i had and enjoyed ..

  • 5/5 Ram A. 1 year ago on Google
    Super tasty falafel pita sandwich and the fries were good also.

  • 5/5 Abhinav S. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a fantastic little place run by a friendly crew. The falafels are amazing and the fried aubergine 🍆 was also very nice. It's similar to a good German döner place. It gets really crowded during evenings. It's preferable to go and eat during weekdays at lunch time if you really want to try this place out. Otherwise it's a great place to eat if you are hanging out late in Amsterdam city center or coming out of the international theater.

  • 5/5 Anirudh N. 5 years ago on Google
    Ah! Words cannot describe how much I love this place. It's veggie paradise! Great prices and delicious sauces( I tried their garlic sauce!). They serve pita pockets with an unlimited salad refill.

👍👍 The perfect place to enjoy high-quality seafood at a reasonable price. Was surprised to see this large restaurant buzzing at 5pm (both inside and outside!) but after seeing the fresh fish on display and trying the sashimi which just melts in the mouth I understood why. The staff were also very well-...
