VEGAN! Everything! Fresh falafel with a topping bar. Falafel was excellent and freshly made. Pita was soft and fresh. Salad was good, topping bar was a great touch. Fries were very good, but we ordered too much food. Service was excellent, they are used to tourists for sure, but also indulged me while I practiced my French. There's only a few tables if you want to eat inside (I think 3?) so plan on takeaway, and eat somewhere with a nice view. read more

This Falafel freak flew almost four thousand miles to France to get his fix. Call me a schmuck, but I did not know there was a location just fifteen minutes south and west of Glen Head in Garden City, NY. Five Fabulous Stars for: 1) Amazing Falafel, just so delicious and crispy on the outside and not pasty but perfect on the inside. Hot and fresh, they had a few in the bin but told me it would be a couple of minutes for the new ones. Love it! 2) Love the limitless topping bar with a bunch of great sauces and veggie toppings. The grilled cauliflower was DAYUMMM ( CJ in NY I am trying but only you have the true impact) as were the marinated chick peas. The green sauce Wowza! Fries were fantastic with a killer seasoning. 3) The hours are perfect for the jet lagged and up at 1:15 am ( Paris time which is 7:15 pm previous day in NY) folks with the gavone hunger pangs. Close at 2 am Thursday through Saturday. Open at 11 am daily. 4) Nice location right in the 5th district of Paris ( Latin Quarter) just south of the Siene river. Clean interior and COVID and mask compliant. 5) 2 fivers for a big ass falafel sandwich, plus a huge order of fries and a bottle of Perrier. No that's too French. Just regular agua. The employees are sweet and generous and kept piling on the toppings per my request,. Nine Euros( $ 10.20 approx) is a steal for this quality and quantity plus the excellent and generous service. Few seats inside. Just grab the two mega falafel sandwiches, walk a few yards and grab a seat next to me ( or 2 metres away ;) in this very cool district of Paris. read more

We stopped here for the perfect snack in the middle of a busy day shopping and sightseeing. You quite literally build your own pita, salad, or bowl with the topping bar. They finish it with your choice of sauces and additions like fallafel. It was fresh and fash and some of the best falafel I have ever had. I would suggest requesting extra sauce and going as wild as you can with the toppings (you're not paying on weight so why not). I would also recommend taking it to go. There a few little tables but its not the most welcoming or clean of an area to sit in. Fortunately this is Paris, and there is no shortage of benches and perfect places to sit and enjoy freaking Paris. read more

This is a very small corner falafel place. It's perfect for vegetarians and vegan. The guy who works there is super friendly and we made A mistake and ordered little bit extra. Then he heard us. He was very generous and correct her order. Super fresh falafel with fresh ingredients.. place his heart to sit into, but you can grab your food and walk read more

Stopped by for a quick eats and was moseying around the Latin Quarter. Saw vegetarian and falafel and it drew me in. Reviews looked good, so thought I would give it a chance. It was really good. You can get a falafel sandwich fries and the salad bar for around 11 euro. I got a coke with it. It was all very good. You could tell it was quality falafel at a reasonable price. Fries were good also. Did not take very long to make. Would definitely come back and get it again. read more

Maoz - Falafel Near Me - Paris, 75

This area is very trendy with an array of fast food / sit down quick, tasty eats, souvenir shopping and thrift stores. There's a place to eat for everyone in your family. My son and I are the vegans in our group and we came across Maoz! Sooooooo tasty with many vegan options for toppings. You get a falafel wrap, fries and a water bottle for $10 euros. We are here twice during our 2 week vacation! We would of eaten there more if it wasn't out the way. The customer service is also stellar! Support local businesses. The inside has 3-4 two person tables. read more

Fantastic falafel with incredible topping bar. The bowl is also worth trying. Delicious !

One of the best zaatar and Lebanese restaurant in town. It's definitely worth a try ;)

Could Maoz possibly trump the Ace of Falafels? I think so. To be honest, I didn't have high expectations of this chain that has locations all over the world. However, I was pleasantly surprised when I decided to meet a friend at this tiny location on the busy rue St-André des Arts. We ordered our falafels that took less than ten minutes to make. True they're not as fast as the places on Rue des Rosiers, but we could see that our falafel balls were crisping away in the fryer. While we were waiting, the lady there kindly offered us some free sweet mint tea. There aren't a whole lot of seating options in the tiny walk up restaurant, but I don't think there's a difference in price for take-away or eat-in falafels. We sat on some stools and enjoyed our falafels while the two workers regaled the other clients. When we received our falafels, they were topped with a bit of salad. This might sound disappointing, but once you walk into Maoz, the first thing you'll notice is the overflowing self-serve bar of condiments, couscous, veggies, and sides. That's right, you can fill your falafel to your heart's desire, and top it off with a selection of sauces ranging from mild to spicy. The best part? You can go back for refills. One thing my friend and I both noticed about these falafels is that since you can fill them with as much, or little sauce as you please, they don't end up soggy as at some other places. It's true that the concepts of self-serve and à volonté (all you can eat) aren't that common in France, but when it comes to filling up my falafel with goodies, I'll take this over lining up on the sidewalk for a hyped up falafel any day. This is definitely a new favorite. read more

We stopped in one evening after taking a river cruise. The shop is small with maybe 8 seats total. We approached the counter after reviewing the menu and after starting in French and then forgetting my 20 year old French classes the proprietress quickly switched over to English to help me out. The concept is simple. You order and then the. Make fresh a base falafel of pita, salad (depending on what you order), and tzatziki. Then you get to top it yourself from the toping bar. You're allowed two returns to add more toppings as well. The falafel was delicious and I'll definitely go again. read more

I frigging love this place. Ate there on my last night in Paris. I was on a budget and they really delivered. Only 5,50 euro for a fat falafel wrap with a self-serve toppings bar. The coleslaw and sauces are bomb. So are the kind workers who helped me charge up my phone behind the counter. read more

Fresh, delicious, great service, and wonderful value. I love the fact that toppings are unlimited and you get to choose what goes on your falafel (even though I usually take everything); that's not something you usually find with most Parisian falafel joints. I was delighted that the falafel was fried after I had placed my order, and that they didn't just have some old balls sitting around even though I went at an awkward time. The falafels were crispy and less garlicy than many others (Chez Marianne, Mi Va Mi), and the pita had been toasted in an oven before being filled with all its goodness. read more

Maoz - Humongous falafel - Falafel Near Me - Paris, 75

Please save yourself from going here. I'm a big fan of Maoz, having had it in the US and in Barcelona times. I know what to expect from a Maoz when I see one: friendly, fast service and fresh food. This Maoz is a disgrace to the name of Maoz. After a long day, we went in to get a falafel bowl, only to be served by the most awful man in all of Paris. I've come to expect bad service in this city, but man, this guy really showed us what bad service meant, and all he had to do was fry some falafels... He clearly could speak very good English but refused to even say a few sentences. He took forever to serve us and was very rude to another couple who couldn't speak French. I'm sorry, but this is an international chain serving international cuisine in a place frequented by many tourists, if you hate English then I don't know what you're working here. The options of toppings was a complete joke compared to what is offered in every other Maoz I've been to. No chickpeas, no cauliflower. Just soggy carrots, cucumbers and sauce. I could smell that they weren't fresh at all. They probably don't change out the food for days. We couldn't even fill up our bowls because there was nothing to eat. The falafels he made were just sad. They were half the size of the ones at a normal Maoz. They weren't even spheres. I was just so sad looking at them. We ate our sad dinner which was basically a scam for the price. He wouldn't take my credit card when there was a credit card machine right in front of us. I've never been sadder about a meal in my life. This location has tainted the Maoz name. I will be contacting corporate about this compete rip off. I realize there's a lot of good reviews on Yelp about this place, but they're from 7 months ago. Maybe it changed hands or maybe it was just this guy who made our experience bad. I would encourage you to visit any other Maoz for a good experience. read more

Absolutely delitious! You can add what you want. And the price is also really good. It´s vegetarian friendly place. But be careful! In winter can be inside cold. It´s more like food to go. Because there is also lack of space inside. read more

Maoz - Falafel Near Me - Paris, 75

Maoz isn't your posh Parisian address that would merit 5 stars. It's a nondescript hole in the wall, but one that serves superb food at a very good price! Being a vegetarian who doesn't even eat fish and eggs, when I first discovered this place in 2011, as a student new to France. I knew I'd be a fan for life. The falafels are fresh, and now they use wheat pita bread. The salad selection is fresh too, and flavours are spot on. For 5.90 Euros, you get a falafel sandwich with grilled aubergines, and you can select your salad fillings, with as many tries as you want. Perfect for students, and for vegetarians. read more

Maoz - Maoz Falafel. - Falafel Near Me - Paris, 75

About 5 euros and damn good french fries! Go! Better than the ones in New York City!!! read more

Maoz is a falafel chain that I wish we had in Toronto. It's super-delicious, fast and cheap and a hugely important staple for any vegetarian in Paris. Maoz is also in the Saint Michel area, the student quarter, and the tiny hole-in-the-wall fast-food joint in crawling with students and tourists at all times. The menu is simple: falafels and more falafels. You can get tasty fries, too, but that's about it as far as the choices go. The young guy or girl behind the counter fills a pita with some lettuce and as many falafels as he or she can fit and then leaves you to dress your sandwich as you please. Maoz has a huge salad bar of different toppings that include pickles and olives, tabbouli, cooked carrots, shredded salads, coriander or harissa sauces, hot peppers, diced veggies, and the list goes on. Stuff your falafel to bursting, grap yourself a Fanta and enjoy. The food is always fresh because Moaz is so popular and the falafels are crispy, tasty and not too greasy. Perfect. Don't count on a seat, though. There are only around 8-10 seats in the whole place. Vegetarian Score: 10/10. A Paris must. read more

At last, something vegetarian in Paris! It took us two days to find something substantial to eat that wasn't an omelette. Yay for you, Maoz! This is a tiny little fast-foodish restaurant tucked away down a busy side street. It's more of a take-away, though there are a couple of small tables inside. The Maoz is similar to a gyro--a bit of pitta crammed full of various veggies and toppings. It came with basic fillers such as lettuce and tomato, and there is a veggie bar where you can fill up with your choice of yumminess, like olives, spiced carrots, various dips. Delish! I will also add that there falafel was the best I have ever had, and I'm not easy to please as far as falafel goes. I usually don't like it. Here it isn't too spicy and is a lovely compliment to their humus, which I also threw into my Maoz. If you are a veggie and find yourself hungry in Paris, this place is a must! read more

Was so looking forward to trying the falafel here after hearing so much about it. It did not disappoint. The falafel itself was well seasoned and fried to perfection. The pita as well was perfect. I had it mixed with eggplant then put all the topping I wanted from the topping bar. It was a great sandwich. The big surprise were the fries. Double fried to perfection the old fashioned way. Absolutely perfect. read more

Maoz is a fantastic hole in the wall that one can easily miss in the side streets of the Latin Quarter. Very affordable and very good falafel. Plus, they have the fantastic deal of a falafel (with the toppings you choose at their salad bar), frites, and a can of a soft drink for one low price! And because of the convenient packaging, you can choose to take it to go or eat right there in the tiny shop. Pro tip: If you're planning on sitting down with your meal and it's the high season, make it an early lunch. read more

Moaz is a bit of a hole in the wall and that's probably what makes it great. The menu is simple. They serve falafel and have a large assortment of vegetables and sauces to top it with yourself. We stopped by while walking through Paris and really enjoyed the food. 4 stars. read more

I prefer the other nearby Maoz location but you can't go wrong at this location, either. I'm not a connoisseur of falafel (not sure how you could be a fried chickpea snob) -- they are just an excuse for me to eat a lot of toppings and tahina sauce. This location doesn't have all the toppings you'd see in Amsterdam or the other location but there is still plenty to pile on. They don't like to give out napkins so be sure to bring a few napkins or wet wipes. read more

Possibly the best falafel I've ever eaten. C'est magnifique! And as a vegetarian visiting Paris, Maoz was a beautiful, meat-free oasis. The place is small (a mere store-front) so you might not be able to actually dine inside, but don't go too far without partaking in the "salad bar" at the counter. Even if the falafel balls weren't just amazing, the fresh and delicious toppings would satiate any desires. The garlic sauce is simply divine. The other major perk is that Maoz actually stays open during the afternoon! Being used to businesses staying open all day/ 7 days a week, it was hard it adjust to the midday closing of most restaurants. We definitely had to plan lunch stops in the sightseeing... except when we were headed to Maoz. So convenient, so veggie-friendly! I wish there was a Maoz in my city. read more

Love.This.Place! When French food gets too heavy (and expensive), this place fills the void. Love all the fresh sides and crispy falafel! Also great price and friendly service! read more

Decent fast food place, for the price it's a great deal! The salad bar had many options and falafel were cooked fresh upon ordering. I would recommend this place for a quick grab-and-go food stop. read more

Maoz - Half-eaten falafel sandwich - Falafel Near Me - Paris, 75

This place was amazing! The staff were super friendly and really helpful and accommodating. Not to mention, they never appeared flustered by our language barrier. Another example of how nice people actually are in Paris, vs the misconceptions that I went to Paris with. Falafel = Crisp exterior with a flavorful, firm center. I added hummous and it was perfect. The pita was so soft! I have never tasted pita so fresh and soft before. Topping Bar = This is like a salad bar to top off your falafel. The toppings were amazingly fresh and tasty. Fries = The fries were perfect! Crisp with the right amount of salt. Slightly thicker cut, but not too thick. With the exception of the fries, this place feels very healthy, yet satisfying. Wish we had a place as good as Maoz in Atlanta! read more

Looking for a cheap and veggie-friendly place in big old expensive Paris? Come no further! At Maoz you have the choice between several sizes and only get the falafel balls. Then, it is up to you to fill your pita up with any veggie/sauce you like! I also encourage you to eat in if you can, because after nibbling on some veggies, you will be able to refill, for free, your pita as much as it can hold with any item from the diverse buffet. Definitely one of my favorite places during my student's days, but I would return there anytime. read more

Loved my veggie couscous. It was a neat experience to be sitting in a really small street like food place watching people in the Latin Quarter. The crowd is impressive and the falafel was pretty good too. read more

L'as du Falafel is the place to go for a decent falafel. This place wins the attraction only for the self help salad bar. But if you want the overall delicious experience with the soft bread, delicious harissa, tender veggies and kebabs, the left bank's crowded, touristy Las du Falafel wins hands down. read more

I was first introduced to Maoz in Barcelona ten years ago. I had their falafel gyro again today and it is still amazing. Party in my mouth! Why can't we have this chain in the states?? read more

I wont bother getting into the treacherous waters of whether here or L'As falael is better, but I can say this: these guys make a good falafel. The pita was stuffed full of fresh fried chickpea goodness and there were a lot of different toppings. I was dissapointed there were no pickles, but it might have been on account of me going at an off time. That being said, it was actually very pleasant sitting and eating while looking out into the street. It was a definitely positive contrast to the chaos and crush of L'As. I have to say, as tamil kid who grew up in a chinese part of Toronto I can sometimes get sick of all the rich buttery pastries of Paris and really crave something spicy and hearty. I love a good baguette as much as the next guy, but the harissa drenched falafel+fries combo is definitely something I will keep in mind the next time I'm fiending for some spice. Also as a vegetarian, I will give them a point for catering to us in Paris (the parisians do love thier meat). Bottom line: it's not as transcendentaly good as some of the reviews make it out to be, but its a solid option if you want something to stick to your ribs for cheap. Minor side notes: for those of you hot sauce connoisseurs, the harissa was oilier and less blended than that of L'as. It was closer to the chili oil in pho places. I couldnt tell if it was a one off or not since the sauce next to it (the slightly less hot one) was more emulsified but that could be because it had tomato in it. I wouldnt dock a point or anything, but between the deep fried falafel and the fries, I was less inclined to go to town on it with my hot sauce than I normally would. read more

I love being able to put whatever I want into my falafel pita, so Maoz is definitely a winner in my book. Since I had read about how this place was ~better~ than a certain other spot, I took a couple people along with me. I don't think they ever got over to Rue des Rosiers for falafel, but one of them was gushing to me all the way back to our hotel about how much he loved Maoz. There is very little room to eat in there, but it's possible. Prices are the same for that, and I think it was around 8 euros for a pita with 5 falafel, fries, and a canned drink. It was awesome. Both the fries and the falafel were made to order, which was awesome. The salad bar was completely stocked with everything Maoz is an international chain, so there are locations all over the world. I hope to run into one again soon. read more

After hearing my sister talk about Maoz's falafel...I couldn't wait to try. They did not disappoint! I loved that you could add your own condiments and that you can make it as spice or non-spicy as you like. This is a must eat place if you are in the Notre Dame, Saint Michel area. read more

Maoz - Yummy!!! - Falafel Near Me - Paris, 75

Stumbled across this popular (judging by the number of people in line) little eatery and it smelled so good we decided to get takeout. Ordered 2 big Falafel sandwiches (you choose veggies and sauce you want to add on top), order of soup and fries to share. Fresh, delicious and filled two of us up for 17€. Great service! All vegetarian. read more

We were looking for quick vegetarian meal in Paris when we came across Maoz on yelp. The food was great! Build your own falafel with fresh veggies and tasty sauces. Fresh pita and great selection of veggies. It is a very small place so eating the falafel was difficult and messy but we devoured ours in no time. The falafel was not too expensive either. Great place if you want vegetarian food in Paris. read more

It is fast food, but it's good. Maoz is located in the sleeziest, cheeziest, most touristic area of Paris so that is a major bummer. But if you find yourself here after visiting Notre Dame, grab a Maoz and stay away from those kababs! You'll thank me later. read more

After looking for a place with vegetarian menu choices, ran into this place by the corner of another busy internal street. The menu choices are limited but falafel is made fresh, a bit smaller in size. The price also was cheaper relative to the area restaurants there. read more

I´ve known the Maoz-Chain from the Netherlands and sadly this one does not compare to it´s counterparts in the land of the many Dikes and Canals. While the food was alright, the place itself is pretty awful. Overrun by tourists (not judging, just saying!), it was very filthy when I was there. The seating is also a bad joke as there are prob about 10 seats in there - when there is room for 5. It is also disappointing that they only take cash. read more

Fresh, tasty, quick and good value. After two weeks in Paris I was keen for some different flavours and the mix of salad/vegetable options in previous reviews won me over. Little bit hard to spot in the maze of other restaurants in the area as it is quite small but the guy behind the counter was very friendly and worked out what I was after despite my messed up french. He packed it all up for me to take back to my apartment and scoff down. I had the mega pack with everything including a drink for 8Euro. Great value, couldn't finish it all but we def try for lunch tomorrow with some different sauce. read more
