Ordered: Falafel Meal Deal (~€13): falafel sandwich, homemade fries, and a soda Aya's take: I have to admit this wasn't my first choice but since it was in the area and the place I wanted to try happened to be closed, I figured I'd stop by for a quick bite. I liked the idea of a customized falafel sandwich where they give you the pita with falafel and you choose your preferred toppings at the salad bar. The falafel was surprisingly well done, and I have high standards for falafel being Middle Eastern myself. The toppings were pretty solid; I liked the cabbage mix and the fried cauliflower the most. The homemade fries were also really delicious and the sauces on the side were great; I went with a mix of the ketchup and mayonesa. Definitely not authentic Spanish food but very filling and satisfying nonetheless! read more

Maoz Falafel - Maoz Falafel - Vegetarian Near Me - Barcelona, B

We had tried Maoz falafel in Paris and we had loved it so I was pretty excited to see Maoz in Barcelona and we made it a point to go here. What's not to love? Fresh falafel balls, great pita and fresh, unlimited toppings and sauces!! The falafel balls were fried right when we ordered and the sauce options here are awesome. There was a mango sauce (amba) which was sweet and spicy like a mango chutney we get in India. The aioli, tahini and yogurt sauces were great. For the toppings, i loved the spicy green chutney, cole slaw, onions, chickpeas, tomatoes, peppers and multiple other toppings. The only downside is the seating available. There are 3 tables and very limited seating. The whole point of unlimited toppings is to sit here and add more toppings as you eat. Some people were standing outside with falafel but eating falafel is messy and it would be good to have more space. read more

Affordable, healthy, place has a buzz. Put your own toppings so you can personalize your own Falafel pocket. I arrived late at Barcelona and after getting a little lost and seeing my pizza shop close, decided to give these guys a shot. I see a lot of five star reviews, and they're well deserved! Fries are awesome btw! Must get some fries with your falafel. Add a drink with your meal for $0.50 read more

The menu was straightforward and easy to a non-Spanish speaking tourist to understand. There were two options of falafel-- one served in bread and one served in a plate. I chose the former way since I prefer the more traditional way of consuming falafel. My server heaped the falafel in the bread along with some optional hummus and shredded lettuce pieces and afterwards handed me the unfinished falafel sandwich to allow me to choose between a variety of toppings to heap on. I recommend the deep fried cauliflower and the soft carrots as toppings, along with their saucier toppings which will add a sweet, tangy taste to your meal. I enjoyed the taste. The vegetable toppings were fresh, the sauces tasty, and the bread of a soft roughness that was a perfect complement to the ingredients inside. There's not much of a seating area so I'd recommend this café if you're in search of some to-go food or a quick bite to eat. read more

Maoz Falafel - Vegetarian Near Me - Barcelona, B

bomb place you can put all the toppings and sauces yourself and as much of it as you want. You can even go back and add more. Super cool staff and the food always fills me up read more

Oh my gosh. This is a must try when in Barcelona. It's super close to las ramblas and the cathedral so this is the perfect place to stop by. Their shop is quite small, fitting up to less than 10 people comfortably. You are given the choice of a falafel wrap or salad and it's up to you to put on as many toppings you like. I got the wrap which is essentially a large pita with 5 large falafels. They literally fry the falafel to order so when I hit into it, it was so crispy yet soft and flavorful. There are sooo many toppings to choose from. The best thing about this place is you can stay in the restaurant and keep piling up the toppings as you're eating. I died a little when I went for the marinated cauliflowers, chickpeas, cold slaw, and the aioli sauce. For like ~5 euros, I finished my wrap feeling super full. It was one of the most satisfying meals I've ever had. read more

Maoz Falafel - What you see, you get! Simply perfect ,) - Vegetarian Near Me - Barcelona, B

Super delicious, hot falafel with uber fresh toppings that you heap on to your heart's desire. Just what our bodies needed after a three-day meat & seafood fest with nary a vegetable in sight. Thank you Maoz for making our bodies right! Extra bonus for the fresh-cut fries extra crispy, Estrella lager & super friendly service. read more

Delicious! A great spot for some fresh made falafel! There are plenty of topping options and everything is fresh. There are about 6 sauce choices, which is awesome. The only downside is there is barely any seating and the store is very small. Also, the toppings are self serve, so you'll be grabbing spoons that dozens of others have before you. The only thing I would request is that staff put the toppings you want on your falafel, so everyone doesn't have to touch all the same utensils. read more

4 Stars for: one of the best Falafels I've ever tried (the croquette itself). Great bang for your buck as you can use the salad bar unlimitedly. Important: No credit card accepted. At least when we were there. The Falafel itself: Crispy outside, tender, moist and very balanced flavor in the inside. Delicious. We had the 7,50 euro menu, which includes 1 drink, fries and a Falafel Kebab. The Falafel itself, as I said before, is amazing. Then put those into a pita bread into which you can keep adding, yes unlimitedly, lots of good stuff from the salad bar and you are up for a real treat. Give it a try! read more

What a great spot for a healthy, tasty meal. Loved the selection of toppings. Darned good value. I'll be watching for this chain around the world. read more

tiny little place... not enough seating... BUT THE BEST FALAFEL! I go for the salad bowl, and ask for very little lettuce - that way i can pile on all the wonderful condiments/toppings available at that salad bar. I almost like those better than the falafel. no... scratch that - the falafels are great. Thank you for being open late when i'm starving after too many of those GinTonicas... so after a night of dancing & drinking, be sure you keep an extra 5 euros for Maoz. *** full disclaimer - It's also just as wonderful when totally sober in the middle of the day. read more

Came once. Menu was explained. Came again. And again. Healthy and quick but can be difficult to eat inside. I'd avoid the ginger slices, other than that wonderful and filling with endless refills. I'd just grab the bowl and go for it. Probably the most affordable fast meal in town! read more

This place is perfect for when you do not have time to dine until late and want something quick, healthier and filling. Yes they do only offer a falafel, salad or potato fries, but this narrow selection ensures rapidness while maintaining the freshness and taste. Plus, you can top your falafel with as many toppings as you can fit onto it! And all for a very good price. The salad toppings were fresh even later in the day and were all refilled. The place was clean and the service was great. This is how I imagine the ideal fast-food restaurant. read more

Perfect quick meal! Freshly​ made falafel and French fries. Healthy and affordable with vegan and gluten free options. Very small location with great toppings. We made it a point to stop here​ every​ day​ on our trip. read more

There were a few days left in BCN, & there was serious shopping to be done. I thought I'd try saving some € by spending less on food. I'd been wanting to try Maoz Falafel since reading the reviews here, so I made my way there in the morning, before doing my shopping. I found myself standing in front of the food joint at around 9:50AM, waiting for Maoz to open. This woman came & unlocked the door, & told me they wouldn't be open until 11 AM. Oh. I really, really wanted to try the food here, so I went back at around 11:30AM after doing some shopping. I saw these girls standing outside, having a cig. I went in & they followed suit, sat themselves at 1 of the 2 tables. There was also a family there (2 boys, & dad), so both tables were taken. Luckily, as it turned out, the family was on their way to the airport to catch their flight (I know this because the dad kept saying "our chips!" & had an argument with the Maoz guy, & while all this was going on, the dad with the unibrow kept getting olives directly from the tray & leaving the seeds on the counter.....srsly dude..), & so 1 of the 2 tables was free for me to grab. I placed my collapsible shopping bag there to "reserve" my seat. Hehe. If you're going to eat at Maoz & want their salad buffet, you're gonna need to eat in. I ordered the falafel with salad buffet + a soda & paid I think €5+ for everything. I refilled my bowl with sides & sauces a couple of times. I was stuffed, & didn't feel hungry until the following day. Thanks to Maoz, there was 1 day that I spent only around €5 for food in BCN. Phenomenal. Only at Maoz. More € for shopping. Hehe. Note: the falafel with salad comes with greens, & a single (small) falafel. I'm reading reviews from another reviews site, & someone said she got 3 falafels. So I dunno. The sides are the ones you can get as much as you want of, & they are so delicious that you wouldn't know which one to get. I got a bit of everything, & thought the fried broccoli was super (never had that before, I think). read more

I really like Maoz from visiting it in other countries and at its previous location in Barcelona. This one, sadly, was disappointing compared to my other experiences. Having just come from Amsterdam a few days prior where the fries can come with curry sauce (YUM), I was heartbroken to see that isn't an option here. I could tell that the fries I got were the day-old ones probably lurking at the bottom of the trough. They were kinda soggy, kinda chewy, and very blah. I didn't know fries were capable of tasting bad! Also, the olives aren't pitted. Whyyyyyyyy. You may as well put plastic bits in the food. I wouldn't go back to this particular location, but 3 stars cuz I love Maoz in general. read more

Friendly staff, delicious homemade fries and aïoli sauce, my boyfriend loved his pita sandwich

LOVED this place. Wish they would come to LA! I'm going to start this off by saying that I don't really like falafel, so I didn't eat my falafel at all, and if I had gone back, I probably would have asked for no falafel, so it wouldn't take up space in my pita. You have two options, a falafel pita, or a falafel bowl, with or without fries I think. You can pay extra to add feta cheese or some strange looking guacamole (we didn't). Then, there's this salad bar type thing with sort of like a smorgasbord of every appetizer from your typical So. Cal Mediterranean restaurant, and let's see if memory serves me: those little lebanese pickles fried cauliflower (yum) some kind of rice salad (yum) sundried tomatoes regular tomatoes olives (yum) garbanzo salad (extra yum) some kind of olive spread (not like tapenade though) marinated carrots mushrooms hummus yogurt sauce tahini I can't remember anything else, but there was tons of stuff, and the only thing I wasn't interested in was the falafel itself. You can put any and all of this into your pita (or bowl) and it was all so good. So you can see why I regretted wasting space with the falafel, when I could have just had some extra fried cauliflower instead. I wish we'd had time to go back. I passed another location in BCN and one in Madrid. I just looked online and they DO exist in the US! Come to LA, damn it! read more

Amazing food and service! The food was flavorful and the workers were very welcoming and cheerful. Will definitely come back all holiday.

It's simply the best falafel place I've ever had the joy of trying, the falafel pita is way too much food and you should eat in to take advantage of the condiments. It's very cheap and is actually one of the best places I've been to so far in Spain. Definitely recommend this place to anyone regardless of whether you're a vegetarian or meat eater. read more

Salad bar is perfection. So many options, and that little bowl you end up stuffing with vegetarian goodies is surprisingly filling.

Not that this joint needs another five star review but here it is! Affordable and healthy. The salads are amazing - especially the roasted cauliflower and the carrots. I wanted to eat here everyday while I was in Barcelona but knew I'd regret not eating more tapas. I really ended up regretting not eating more Maoz. read more

We are strict vegetarians from India. Have been in Barcelona since 2 weeks and looking for a good vegetarian place to eat. Came to know about Maoz on Yelp and went their yesterday. We were overjoyed to get such excellent falafal with lots of vegetables, many of vegetables were seasoned and pickled just like in India. We opted for falafal in pita bread and it was such great value for money. You can refill any number of times for less thsn 6 euros.One suggestion, you can ask them to give less number of falfal in your dish so that you can eat more vegetables topped with their delicious sauces. read more

Any time I visit Barcelona I have to have lunch at Maoz. Great location just off the Ramblas, and with very friendly staff. Everything cooked fresh to order and a decent range of salad available. The most delicious felafel. Very limited amount of seating, though when your food is ready there will probably be a spot free if you don't mind sharing a table. Make sure you're hungry because its really filling!! read more

Great place for a quick bite to eat! Had lunch here and ordered a falafel wrap €4.90. Wraps can be white or brown. There are many options for fillers and sauce and is self serve. So you can fill as much or add more sauce! Seating area is very limited but the wrap is easy to take out and eat on the go. Fillers are fresh, wraps and falafels are toasted. Would definitely recommend this place. read more

Maoz Falafel - Falafel wrap €4.90. Fresh ingredients. - Vegetarian Near Me - Barcelona, B

Wow, Maoz is everywhere. Amazing how it tastes exactly the same in every branch, from Barcelona, to Paris to NY. Passable quality salads and hot and fresh falafel balls. Nothing to lose your mind over, but a good spot for a quick and cheap bite. read more

Best falafel in Barcelona. They always fry it on order and there is a large selection of salads, lentils, sauces etc. to put in your pita bread. I would rate this 5 star if there were better seating options and if you got a plate to eat on. read more

Probably the thing I will miss the most about my trip to Amsterdam! The falafel was stunning, and the subway- esque filling process makes it so much easier and nicer because you can customise it yourself. The home made chips are also amazing. I would recommend for everyone to go here even once- it's affordable, the staff are lovely and accommodating, it's filling and delicious- plus all of the ingredients are vegan which amazed me. I've been vegan for over 6 months now and it's taken me this long to find something as mouthwatering as the food here. My mum who is not vegan also ate here and loved it equally. Recommend very highly if you couldn't tell!! read more

Amazing! We stayed across the street from Maoz and it was the best. They have unlimited toppings you can load onto the falafel wrap and I may have put on too much. I recommend the cauliflower to put on top! read more

Such great food! And nice service. Not nearly enough seating, but that's the only negative thing you can say about this place. read more

Nice space to stop at for a quick bite to eat in the gothic area. The falafel was very fresh and flavorful.

As non-meat eaters, we were so happy to discover this little place. It was fantastic for meals on-the-go. It's tiny and can be hard to find seating, and even if you do get a seat, it's not the place to linger/have a long meal. Since we only had a short time in Barcelona and wanted to get to as many sites as possible anyway, this wasn't a deterrent. We ate here a few times because of its dependability, great prices and delicious falafels. Great veggie find! read more

I had trouble with the food in Spain, it seemed like everything upset my stomach except for this place. Great, cheap veg food fast... what more can you ask for? I went here 3 times while we were in Barcelona. read more
