Maybe not 100% as good as it used to be, but it's been here forever and remains my favorite falafel in the city. I'd give it 5 stars except that the size keeps getting smaller each year. I could almost eat two at this point. Still, don't be put off by the rush-hour line or slightly higher pricing, this is the best around. read more

Very bad food Ordered sabich in pita had only one piece of eggplant and the pita was full with salad no taste also the hummus no taste The prices are very high compare to other places Not recommended read more

Sabich is to die for - addictive, messy and tasty and an order to place every day. Ask for extra harif (hot sauce) and extra egg and it's close to perfect read more

Moshe's falafel food truck used to be famous. It used to be good. Don't know what happens over COVID but it's embarrassing now. Price went from 8.75 to 11.50 and what do you get? Two sticks of soggy French fries 3/4 of a pickle four and a half sad crushed remnants of falafel balls all served in a supermarket pita that came apart when I opened the bag. Blessing by Moses himself would not bring this back to life forget about chief rabbinate of queens that appears on their kashrut certificate. I wish I could post a picture together with this obituary. RIP Moshes falafel read more

Without a doubt, the best falafel sandwiches I've had not just in New York, but anywhere. Taim is fine, Mamoun's is good, but Moshe's is amazing. I've lived all over Manhattan, but never in Midtown or in the Hell's Kitchen area and it was always worth it to make the trip just to come to Moshe's. The tahini is so so so good and even though the falafel is fried, it doesn't taste greasy and you don't regret it after. read more

Great food, kosher veggie, always fresh, super fast, delicious, very consistent, great fries and perfect falafel. read more

Moshe's falafel - Falafel stand - Kosher Near Me - New York, New York

My go to cart when I'm in the neighborhood for hot crunchy hint of cumin laced deliciously fried to perfection chickpea balls!! Come on people, 6 piping hot balls for less than $4 that are accompanied by some amazing briney Israeli pickles, a generous container of tahini sauce and a super spicy and incredibly mouth watering pepper hot sauce to dip in, it's a meal fit for any vegetarian kosher royalty! They also offer hot soup and the falafels are also served the traditional in a pocket pita with whatever fixings you desire as well. The staff is super friendly and accommodating when you ask for extra sauce and the cart is there rain or shine closer to 6th on 46th (minus shabbos/shabbat or however you know it as) Truly a gem in the food cart foodie category! read more

Moshe's falafel - Kosher Near Me - New York, New York

Nice little food truck that appears to have home base at 46th and 6th. The truck offers the standard array of falafel dishes (pita or platter or straight-up ballin). Today I opted for a whole falafel sandwich with whole wheat pita (that option is always a big plus factor to me). The falafel ball itself is pretty decent, not oily, but I think I wanted a bit more of a crunch. The sandwich comes topped with several thick cut fries and some mini-dill pickles. The fries are actually pretty damn good. The sandwiches come with tachina (tahini in non tribespeak) and hot sauce - the tachina is pretty decent as well. Might not be on par with Mamoun's, TAÏM, or Cafe Azuri, but it's quick, fresh, whole wheated, and pretty good. read more

Stopped here during my lunch break and really enjoyed the food! As an Israeli I am used to quality tasting food and finally found a great spot in the city that serves authentic tasting falafel. Definitely coming back on my lunch breaks! read more

The falafel sandwich was not heavy. It was yummy and hit the spot just right. I also loved the fries a lot. Next time gonna get just the falafel and the nice and crispy fries. Also the quantity is big, so that was great too read more

I reallyyyy wanted to love this place. ever since returning from Israel last year, I've been craving good falafel. Moshe's is a few blocks from the office and had good reviews so I figured I'd walk over and give it a try. unfortunately, the walk was the best part. the food truck staff were friendly enough, but the falafel itself was disappointing. I ordered the falafel pita (layered with falafel, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, french fries, more falafel, and a pickle). the pita was dry and bland, the veggies were fresh but the lettuce was still wet. the fries were greasy and unseasoned. worst of all, the falafel was incredibly bland. the texture was decent but there was no flavor, just mush. the tahina was another layer of bland. even the hot sauce was barely flavorful. overall, a giant portion of bland-on-bland, which landed itself in the trash after a few bites. womp womppp. read more

Moshe's is located on the southeast corner of 46th and 6th (aka Avenue of the Americas). It's a food cart located on a street with tons of other food carts. Best to get here earlier to avoid crowds and wait times. I ordered the whole sandwich which comes with fries. Not sure if the half comes with fries... not sure what the half even is. If you're looking for a sandwich that isn't your typical cold cuts between two slices of bread, this is it. Moshe's falafel sandwich is filling and quite satisfying at the same time. I've definitely had better falafel sandwiches (i.e. Mamoun's Falafel, Taim), but in Midtown, this truck is pretty much the place to go for your falafel fix. The falafel isn't as flavorful as somewhere else and it is a little less crispy on the outside, but they are huge and along with the tahini and hot sauce (it's not that spicy), it's pretty tasty. There's a pickle and the usual tomato and lettuce in the sandwich as well. The great addition here is the fries. They're actually delicious, to my surprise. After a 7 block walk, I thought these things would be soggy but they actually stayed crispy and were delicious with the tahini and hot sauce. Falafel sandwiches are something I don't eat often because for me, they are delicious when I eat them, but afterwards I feel kind of gross for some reason. However, to each their own, and if you're in Midtown and love your falafel sandwiches everyday or once every couple months like me, Moshe's is a solid pick. read more

Rude costumer service . Food was too late . Falafel not tasty . I wouldn't order again .

Service too slow if you delivery person . They keep give you bad looking . Guy with mask . He so annoying rude

The falafel here is definitely above average. They are not like a lot of other falafel places where the balls have been deep fried too long and end up being dark and hard. They are more soft, light and fluffy. They are also a lot fresher too because this place does brisk business. You can get the falafel in a half pita, full pita, or by themselves. I ordered a half pita one, which comes stuffed with four falafel balls and lots of veggies. The falafel is covered with a nice tahini sauce instead of the usual halal cart white sauce. If you get the falafel in a pita, the guy will also ask you if you want a few french fries on top of it. read more

I normally don't like falafel, but Moshe's is the only one I actually enjoy! It's a sidewalk stand, but since it's kosher, you are assured that it is supervised to high ingredient standards (unlike those other disgusting stands where they have who knows what grilling). They make it right in front of you, with falafel, lettuce, tomato, pickles, and techina in a pita. I got spicy sauce my first time there (since I like spicy food) and it was much hotter than expected, but my return visits have seen the edge come off. Great value deal - the falafel in a pita for only $4.50! Perfect stop for the busy kosher midtown lunch crowd. read more

excellent food the service is great fast service I enjoyed the falafel plate very generous portion at a great price I highly recommend it

I am not hating on this falafel. Never greasy, still moist yet crunchy, cheap, lightly coated in tahini (if you want it to be) and easy to walk and eat - it's a thing I like to do in the city. It's hard and I do mean HARD to find good falafel in Manhattan, whether it be a restaurant or a stand. HARD! But Moshe's definitely hooks it up for the $4, a little plate of satisfying falafel balls. read more

I'm NOT a vegetarian but this was pretty dang good for a vegetarian meal. Stopped by the truck on 46th/6th ave and got the Whole-Falafel sandwich - $7.75 The pita was PACKED with veggies, sauce, and plenty of falafel. Also you can choose to have it topped with fries for free if you want. The falafels were pretty good and the fries were nice and crispy. The sandwich was VERY big too which is a plus. Not many places you can find a quality sandwich for under $8. read more

I have to say, Moshe's Falafel is definitely one of my favorite places to get take out around mid-town. Located on 46th and 6th, right by the Citibank, there's a consistent long line of patrons waiting to purchase Falafel sandwiches. For about $7, it is quite a bargain and they really do fill you up. I always order the Whole, which is a sandwich stuffed with fresh falafell, lettuce, tomatoes, a pickle and topped with 3-4 large cut french fries. Many places double fry or over fry their falafels but you can tell these are always fresh by how light and fluffy they are. I don't know if I can order any other falafel's except Moshe's. read more

Moshe's falafel - Whole falafel - cooked just right! - Kosher Near Me - New York, New York

Decided to visit this place after seeing hyped up reviews on Facebook. Ordered falafel sandwich with hummus. I found falafel to be tasteless and hummus was bitter. Sandwich came with a chili sauce on the side which wasn't that great either. Don't think it was worth the walk from my office to this place..:( read more

Moshe's falafel - Moshe Falafel Half - Kosher Near Me - New York, New York

After working in the neighborhood for years and hearing many good things, finally tried this place. Not sure what the hype is about but it's an average falafel place / truck. You get 5-6 falafel pieces in a regular pita. Sauces are the normal sauces (tahini and hot sauce which are really good and spicy!) Overall, worth trying once but overrated. Perfectly fine getting a falafel sandwich at Maoz (unlimited toppings) or Crisp. read more

Honestly the BEST falafel in NYC. They are so friendly, the food is delicious and tasty, and I am absolutely in love with the tahini!! They open at 11 but there is always a long line (but moves fast - should tell ya something!) they have falafel, pita sandwiches (whole or half), platters, salads, etc. Their fries are really good and they are never stingy with the amount of food they give you. Definitely check this place out for lunch if you haven't! Side note: my Mom has been coming to this place since 1992... need I say more?! read more

Whoever said the portions are small is full of it! I ordered a 1/2 falafel and fries, the 1/2 falafel was huge! Good service good food, highly recommend this food trailer. read more

Good service and good amount of food. Falafel was fried and crispy. The hummus was basic....add some hot sauce to it. Pita was fresh and fluffy. All for $10. I would go again. Thanks. read more

I just had a Moshe's falafel for lunch and am so uncomfortably bloated that my secondary, upper roll of abdominal flab is about to cascade over the waistband of my pencil skirt. I wish I could say the unease was worth it but I generally don't like this style of falafel, i.e., the kind with soft, mealy falafel balls in pita that's thick and puffy like my eyes after a good crying jag. I was the only person in line on this rainy day but my falafel maker rushed through my order, cramming the falafel balls into the bottom of the pita pocket then sloppily piling on the chopped tomatoes, tahini, and hot sauce without any consideration for the fine art of sandwich construction. Slow down, buddy! If you had taken the time to layer those dry chickpea balls with some of the sauce and garnishes, I wouldn't have this post-lunch indigestion and your messy creation wouldn't have dribbled white stuff on my lap, and I wouldn't be paranoid about my co-workers raising their eyebrows at this Clintonian stain on my gray skirt. Also, the prices seem steep for a falafel cart: $5.25 for whole $3.75 for half You do the math. read more

"Moshe's on 46th and 6th. Absolutely unbeatable, and I've been around. ..you get more than three falafel balls. You get at least three inside the pita, perhaps four, but then they put ANOTHER one on top of the salad. This gets around the nagging problem of all sandwiches served in pitas. You normally have to take many large bites of nothing but salad before you get to the "meat" at the bottom." SO these are exact posts my brother, Cliff made on nyc.food...IN JULY 1996. 1996 people. Moshe's is still there. 46th and 6th. I was there yesterday. And my brother...well, he lives on : ) oh yeah, and he was right about the falafel. Get it in the pita..lettuce, tomato, pickle, tahini and hot sauce. YUM!!!! read more

It's crazy how people feel comfortable calling anything "the best in the New York," I think the hyperbole really cheapens the review. That being said, Moshe's is siiiiiiick. No frills, but a delicious, filling, cheap, messy, piece of art that is the falafel sandwich. Count me in as a regular. read more

I know. Here I am, giving two stars to this old staple of the New York City falafel stack. But really, objectively: it's not very good. And it's not a simple verdict, either. I have a lot of respect for the old guard of New York Jewish food. Russ and his daughters blow my mind. I love Eisenberg's. But Katz's? Fun and completely overrated. Moshe's is a relic, and while I savor the old, grumpy, curmudgeonly sense of humor, the food is made with sub-par ingredients and has been outpaced by many neighboring falafel carts. Should you try it once? Yes. You might like it a lot more than me. The falafel itself is pretty good, with a great outer crisp. I loved the old school little foil wrapper of slender pickles. But the "salad" is soggy and gross, the hot sauce is just a flavor-less anus exploder, and the tahini is meh. The fries are every street cart fries you've ever had. It's cheap, though. And the guys working there are hysterically stressful and pushy. For a certain type, this is comfort food. For me, it's not a lunch I'll want to repeat. read more

It would have to be that the best falafel in New York City is unavailable at night (or even past the early evening) when I likely need it the most. But for Moshe's I make the sacrifice of my time and will, mid-day, skimp on work to join the actual work-crew for a falafel. I eat falafel all over this city, testing the limits of all fixin' bars and the structure of pita against various sauces. Some of my favorite places have gone the way of the buffalo or otherwise declined in quality. I know that no matter the price increase at Moshe's (well worth the at-present $5,75 tag) that quality will never waiver. Each time I go, I'm remembered as the 'kid with the bike and the dog' and given a free falafel ball while I wait for my sandwich (which i don't even need to place an order for). Extra spicy, fries inside, no need to wrap because I'm going to devour it right in front of them. The falafel balls are among the largest, but also lightest, in town. Expert layering of, first falafel, then salad, and sauce, then more falafel, and more salad, and finally pickles and fries, ensures that each bite is layered. The tahini is thick enough to permanently coat each falafel ball which is perfectly seasoned with cumin, parsley, coriander, and garlic. It's baking soda that provides the fluffiness (and I found in following their recipe, also the bounciness) of these falafel. The sandwich may not be the neatest, but this is street food! Food to be eaten with the hands! Maybe a reminder to value the pleasures in life instead of your business suit. Certainly i can be found licking the last but of sauce out of the tin foil. The pleasures in life. read more

The men working in this little cart/truck are friendly folks. Big grins while they work next to a hot stove on a summer day takes real fortitude. I had the falafel sandwich. It was humongous, heavy in all the right places, and I must say those are some great falafel balls. So even though it's a bit pricy, rest assured you're getting your money's worth, as much as it's worth here in NYC. Next door are a bunch of other food trucks that charge about $10 or more for a sandwich, pizza, schnitzel, what have you. So I was satisfied with my purchase. I asked for a lot of tahini sauce. Did they charge me extra? No, because they are awesome. The falafel sandwich definitely more than fills you up. I was so stuffed. Between the pita bread, next to the falafels are your typical tomato and lettuce salad but then you get a bunch of French fries that cover the top and a singular, long, mild pickle. I was surprised. Pleasantly surprised. What a twist on a classic falafel! read more

Moshe's Makes You Feel Better! I began my lunch break feeling grumpy and not in high spirits. I was even complaining about walking from near Macy's up to 46th and 6th. The light was at the end of the tunnel. Moshe's had a long line, but it moved very quickly. I was up and ordering in about five minutes. Then pause...had to wait sixty seconds for fresh falafel balls to come out of the fryer. Then it was open the pita, pour a bit of tahini, add some falafel, then lettuce, tomato, falafel, pickle, tahini, and hot sauce. Top with foil. Here's a breakdown of my five stars: 1. Everything was very fresh and tasted great, down to the lettuce and tomatoes. 2. A potentially messy meal was manageable thanks to good packaging and no drenching with sauces. 3. Cheap. At $4.75 it's a bargain and for the quality could be charging more. 4. Fast Service - Moshe's doesn't play games, they keep it moving. 5. Keeping it real - they could add just a few falafel balls and skimp for the price, but they don't. Plus, they aren't rude. read more

Moshes has been here at the same exact spot for 40 years or more.4 Falafel balls(he usually throws in an extra for girls)..haha. with the tahini sauce and a hot sauce costs 2.75 and pita sandwich with falafel, lettuce,tomato and pickles costs around 5.75.Its super crunchy and crisp on the outside and stays like that even if you eat it couple of hours later.They have fries and have recently added soups too.. Moshes is not the best falafel around in nyc but some-days you just need something comforting and classic coming from the veteran. read more

A good falafel that suffers from the common issue of having layered ingredients making most of your bites either entirely falafel or entirely topping rather than a mix of both. I like that the pita has some fries stuffed in for good measure. read more

OK and that's all. Had better falafel in the city. Not much to report. If you pass by and hungry consider making the line. Not worth walking specially t there. The falafel was on the bland side, and the salad not properly dressed. As I said, OK, and that's all. read more

One of the best food carts. good quantity for the price & a nice location near outdoor seating (so you don't have to stand and eat like many food cart spots) The Falafel sandwhich after tax was $5-6. I loved the combo of Falafel balls, the sauce and french fries all together in the sandwhich... so good :) Satisfying but not overfilling. read more

This is the best falafel in the city, hands-down. Good selection of falafel's and very consistent. I'm here almost every day, never disappoint. I would recommend this place to anybody who loves a good falafel. read more

Delicious falafel! Met up with my best friend for an impromptu lunch, taking full advantage of the gorgeous day. I got the pita whole - a bursting whole pita filled with 4 crispy falafel, lettuce, tomatoes, delicious tahini and hotsauce, and french fries. Yes. All for only $5.75. There's a line but it moves fast and it's worth it! Great food truck! Word of caution: it's MESSY. haha. read more
