I’ve been meaning to return to Maoz since I went there years ago with a vegan friend. It’s now moved so I was a little confused trying to find it, but really it’s very handy just around the corner from Piccadilly Circus on Old Compton Street. Maoz is an all vegetarian falafel bar, and although that may sound like they’ve pigeon-holed themselves into a tiny menu, there is actually plenty to choose from.

We chose a Meal Deal which included a wholemeal pitta filled with lots of excellent falafel balls, humus and a large slice of fried aubergine, as well as a cone of Belgian fries and a tin of fizzy pop. At £5.90 a real bargain I think, especially as when they call you up to collect your meal you’re told you get to top your pitta with as much salad and sauce as you like. As many times as you like.
From their fine fresh salad bar I opted for some fried mushrooms, baby beetroot, red cabbage, couscous and coriander sauce. Adam opted for coleslaw, fresh tomato, fried cauliflower and yoghurt sauce. All was delicious and perfectly fresh, as were the fries (perfectly chunky too). You can also choose from different falafel-filled pittas, topped with yums likes avocado, Babbaganush, boiled egg, and Feta.

You can eat in at the canteen style benches, or take out (although I know I couldn’t tackle mine standing up!). And the place is open til 2am on Fridays and Saturdays (1am the rest of the week apart from midnight on Sundays) so it’s perfect for late night bingeing after soho drinks. Oh and there are franchises all over the world, a couple in Paris, Madrid, Barcelona, Netherlands and LOTS in the USA where you can even have it delivered.

We’re sure to see more of this happy little place, if indeed we did rather stuff ourselves and nearly spoil our dinner. It’s great value, fast and convenient, lovely atmosphere and service, and ever so yum.

I feel sorry for them...Maoz should provide a training to its staff : the worse customer service ever ! Food ok.

Avoid at all costs!

Firstly I've no idea what the review below is talking about as Maoz is NOT a kebab shop, it doesn't even sell kebabs!! It's a falafel bar and a very good one too. I've used Maoz's all over Europe and find it amazing that this is the only branch in the UK, every city should have one as they are brilliant. Delicious falafels and an amazing choice of salads, pickles, sauces etc that you help yourself to. I always get as much as I can on my serving as it's all so tasty. All the food is vegetarian, most vegan, and very good value. They also do the tastiest chips I've ever eaten anywhere. If, like me, you are a falafel fan make sure you don't miss this place when in London.

Ignoring the hilarious comments of the kebab loving retard, Maoz is actually a very welcome addition to several European cities. Great Falafel, decent salad selection and unlimited sauces. Healthy, filling and reasonably priced. Open some more branches soon please! Death to the kebab!

Maoz isn't the best kebab shop I've been to! The food was over cooked and the service fairly poor too.

I wasn't expecting gourmet dining as Moaz is only a kebab shop after all, but I was a bit disappointed.
