O.G. Falafel Pita
$14.40
Green falafel with hummus, tahini, and Israeli salad in a fresh pita.
Tip: Add the 'Amba' (pickled mango sauce)—it's tangy and slightly spicy, providing a perfect lift to the rich chickpeas. The whole wheat pita is surprisingly good and very sturdy.

Mamoun's Falafel
Greenwich Village·$
Falafel Sandwich
$8.44
Crispy fried chickpea balls with salad, tahini, and hot sauce in a pita.
Tip: Be very careful with the red hot sauce! It is famously one of the hottest condiments in the city. Put a tiny drop on your finger first to test it—most people only need a 'line' of it.
