Every few blocks away in Manhattan there is a corner selling falafel sandwiches. This over-represented, Middle Eastern food has earned an imperishable reputation in the city as a perennial favourite. Maoz nurtures the reputation of falafel sandwiches with its garden of salad that is as fresh as newly grown leaves washed by a gentle spring shower. The enhanced variety of salads elevates the standing of Maoz’s meals. Its sauces, salads and falafel balls create a fanciful assortment of flavours and tastes inside freshly baked pita pockets.

Salsa and sauces - garlic, cilantro, and green chilli - do well to spice up the salad bunch. Creamy hummus, black and green olives, soft roasted cauliflower and pickled baby eggplant create a nourishing blend to soften the coarse and chewy pita - white or whole-wheat. Freshly squeezed fruit/vegetable juices perfectly complement the healthy veggie package although Belgian fries and soda are not excluded.

Maoz maintains a pragmatic menu to offer its salads and sandwiches in simple combinations. The meal is filling and reasonably priced. With limited seating available, take-outs are brisk and popular.
