yeah, that the confusing part, depending on who is there and who is serving the meats are either halal or they aren’t.. so thats why i wouldn’t recommend it.. especially since the falafel is what they are known for.

good review, but you left it @ only falafels, but they got meat stuff too. On several occasions some of us have asked them if they serve halal and there replies left us a little confused. Did you get something similar?

I think there are much better places to get your Shawarma Fix but if you got $2.50 in your pocket and are looking for lunch then there is no better falafel joint in the city! Its a must try for everyone!

Mamoun’s is a great place for cheap quick tasty food. I usually just get the felafel sandwich for $2.50, but last time I went I was thinking of getting some meat. I asked the guy behind the counter if they were halaal. He smiled and said “Na’am.” I got a lamb kebab sandwich, which was surprisingly juicy and flavorful.

I recommend going for my St. Marks Place Triple Threat: a Felafel sandwich from Mamoun’s, a one dollar slice from “Dollar Pizza” (Two Brothers), and a “real deal” yogurt from Red Mango. They’re all right on that block.

Thanks for the response. I was thinking that it would be the Imam from the 1st ave masjid since thats the one closest to the st marks location.

Brother Abdul from the Islamic Center on 1st Ave advised me about this after I made a reference to go there one night. However, I am still giving them the benefit because a muslim brother serving me said so.

this place was really good!
I just had it tonight, the chicken with hummus was the best.
I only wish, I tired it sooner!
