Great Pita Menu

Small restaurant with few seats inside and outside. You can order your food and add ingredients and sauces by yourself at the counter.

We chose the meal deal with mushrooms.

Delicious and fast snack!

Payment via card available. We

Pros: Fully vegan

Good food, not so good service

The food is incredible and tasty, you can build your own meal from the salad options!
The staff felt unfriendly, e.g. I asked for an eggplant base salad bowl and the guy gave me falafel instead, and he thought I wanted extra eggplant, so I had to pay for more. By the time I realised, I felt he would get annoyed at me if I mentioned it. Then the other guy misread my order and started making a wrap instead, when I said I ordered a salad bowl he made me feel it was my fault for his mistake. As my first interaction in Amsterdam as a solo traveller (already feeling overwhelmed) it made me a bit upset

Easy and effective

It’s simple and fast food but always given me good size portions of good quality food. Variety of locations always leave a good option to get a quick bite😄

Amazing food!! Went 3 days in a row!

Absolutely enjoyed the meal. It's fresh, tasty and flavourful! Subway-style concept and it's great we can pick and choose what sauces we want to put and how much! Veggies were fresh and the oranje juice was so fresh and went well along with it. Such a wholesome meal

Tasty and affordable DIY falafel

The falafel pita is very tasty. You build your own from a selection of salads and sauces. Would go again

Best pita falafel streetfood..

This shop is one of my favorite streetfood spots. You can get a pita falafel with salat from a fresh salat bar, and there are excellent sauces to choose from..

Updated from previous review on 2025-02-14

Pros: You can put your own salat on the pita, Friendly people., Nice central shop point..

Veggies aren’t my favorite

I’m a processed food kind of junk vegan who avoids veggies, but I just can’t get enough of Maoz’ pickled veggies.

Mala educación

La comida está igual de rica que en el resto, con la diferencia de que los 3 trabajadores que nos han tocado en este establecimiento han tenido prisas y mala educación. Con tal de despacharte rápido no se molestan en preguntar ni informar y luego se toman mal que les preguntes.
Una lástima haber tenido esta experiencia.

Close to central train station & red light

Very close to central train station & red light; around 20 seats inside & 20 outside (even in winter). Very good falafel, really. Fries are good, it's strange many more people choose the fries outlet next door. Choose your own sides — including sałatka, jalaneños, several sauces 🥬 You may also compose your own salad bowl. #Veganuary

Dress it up yourself

I do like the concept of being able to choose your own toppings, however, it wasn't that clear to us that that was the deal. I almost just ate the falafel with nothing on it. The falafel was alright.

Pros: Choose your own topping, Cool concept

Cons: A bit expensive

Fast food but yet healthy

Fast food but yet healthy. You can choose between pita and salad (wth the same falafel and hummus base) but top and personalize the plate as wished with all the salad toppings they offer.

We ordered the full menu (with fried) and it was quite s huge amount of food. Would not recommend getting the fries if you are not that hungry.

Delicious falafel

I had the falafel, which was very tasty! I liked that you can choose your own "toppings", tough the space in the falafel is limited of course.
It is quite expensive for what you get though.

High quality fast food!

The perfect option for a quick, cheap and healthy meal out! I had the falafel and the mushroom shawarma, both were excellent.

I really appreciated the fact you could build your own sandwich with the wide range of veggies and that all the sauces provided were dairy free. The service was great and there’s a nice area to sit overlooking the canals.

Great falafel and so easy to navigate

What could be simpler than fresh, crispy falafel stuffed into a pita and covered with whatever fresh ingredients I pick from a flowing topping bar? And add French fries with a sauce of my choosing? Curry, please! Perfection! 👌🏼

Pros: Fast service, Great location , Crispy falafel

You can take what you want

I liked the buffet and the sauces.
For fast food it feels very good.
What I didn’t like is that you get only disposable dishes and cutlery.

Good and cheap food

I had the salad bowl. After receiving the bowl with some lettuce and the ordered ingredients (I had eggplant and falafel), you can put more salad on it from an open buffet. Since you can pick what you like by yourself it is tasty and the prices were cheap. The staff was a bit busy but to be fair there were a lot of people when we went there and still the staff remained polite and friendly. If you want to have something in your stomach without going to some expensive restaurant overspending a lot (especially in Amsterdam), then I can clearly recommend this place.

Pros: Cheap, Fast, Many options for customizing your dish

Cons: The poor staff was very stressed

Great food but rude staff

Honestly some of the best food we had through our visit even with the service being quite poor.
One of the servers whipped his dishcloth a bit too close to us when we hadn’t finished our food fast enough?
We had the falafel with fries a couple times and were sad we couldn’t stop off again before we left!

Pros: Ironically the best fries next door “No.1 fries”

Cons: Really rude staff

Perfect for a snack

You can fill your pita yourself, what I really like. So you can put just the stuff you like in there. I took the one with eggplant and it was so delicious. Everything is vegan here. Also the fries are really nice.
