    I have been to this location in the past and it was way better than today. Unfortunately, the falafel were fried in an overused oil, as a middle eastern I can know the difference between a fresh falafel and old ones. Hopefully the management comes and check the oil, we love Mamoun’s falafel and we love to see the consistency in healthy food.

    Service was friendly enough; I've eaten here a few times before and it was generally really good. Last night, I ordered a Manhattan pita. It did not come with baba ganouj or tabbouleh but did include an overwhelming amount of tahini. When I say overwhelming, I mean the sandwich was flooded with the stuff so much that it created a mess on the table when I opened the foil wrapping. When I first bit into the sandwich, I bit down hard on an olive pit. I took this out, and continued eating, then I bit down on ANOTHER olive pit. I asked the staff about this and they said "sorry but sometimes this happens". I've never had this happen with any sandwich I've had with olives and I suspect Mamoun's is cutting corners by pitting the olives themselves to save money. This is problematic when the food prep is very low quality (as evidenced by my sandwich). I will not be eating here again and will actively discourage other people from eating at this particular Mamoun's.

    having to wait 22 minutes for a soup and salad with one cube of feta cheese says it all about this downhill place - not even close to what it used to be. maybe it’s the staff or the management, but Ibby would not be proud.
