NYC’s Original Falafel Spot, Since 1971

Founded in 1971 as a tiny Greenwich Village hole-in-the-wall by Syrian immigrant Mamoun Chater, the unassuming Mamoun's still draws hungry locals, NYU students, and tourists for a taste of what many agree is the absolute best falafel in America.

Mamoun passed the restaurant on to his four sons in 1991, and they’ve kept the recipes for his falafel, lamb shawarma, chicken kebabs, and other Middle Eastern street foods exactly the same since then. Everything they serve is made from scratch using only the freshest natural ingredients and the finest imported spices. Millions have made the pilgrimage to NYC’s original falafel stand in the past 50-plus years, and for the first time, it’s finally shipping nationwide!
