Difficult to add much to the falafel wrap. Fries are good

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.

Reliable quick option

Maoz is one of those reliable quick to grab food. Nothing fancy but it's always a good bite

Pros: Cheap

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.

Okay I guess

The mushroom pita was nice, but the fries were not that good and the cashier was unfriendly. Not really a cosy place either.

Pros: Mushroom shoarma, Price

Cons: Unfriendly cashier, The fries, Cold inside when the weather is bad

Delicious falafel

I didn't have to wait long for a fresh falafel. The pita bread was very tasty. You can choose which toppings and sauces you want. The staff is friendly. The only downside is that you don't get a plate.

Pros: Freshly prepared, Pick your own toppings and sauce, Delicious pita

Cons: No plate

Literally saved my life besties

Okay, so the title for my review is ofc a joke, I don't know the employees nor did they 'literally' save my life. However, after a tremendously straining journey on night trains, I've been looking for a fully vegan place near the train station, that's open after the New Year's Eve - and this turned out to be the only choice in walkable distance to fulfill this criteria.
The place was bustling with life and the workers were under a lot of pressure, but managing it gracefully (though, I certainly don't envy them). The falafel was very very tasty, the only downside for me was that I couldn't fit all of the many many condiments in the pita haha! The struggle to choose...
Also, while I like the salad bar concept, it *does* however feel strange to be touching the same instruments as possibly dozens or hundreds of tourists, and then eating with those same hands, though of course in a hectic environment that is kept clean to the best of the employees' abilities.

yummy place with good pitas & more

Been to Maoz Amsterdam two weeks ago and it was lovely. I liked the pitas with sautéed mushrooms (they also have froed eggplant and falafel) you can fill on your own all with the veggies and salad you like.
Friendly staff and a nice place to get a small meal

Pros: good prices , friendly staff, all vegan

Nice. Not more.

Cheap.
Meal is ready in 2 minutes from order time.
Food tastes good but not special.
The least tasty falafel and hummous I tried (still good though).
Staff was impatient and unclear.

Just ok

Falafel pitas were decent. Falafel was cooked well & lots of toppings to choose from. Price point was good, but the sign explaining how to order was not very clear. They were kinda rude when we asked about the ordering process. I would understand if they were super busy & we were holding up the line, but that was not the case. Another customer who said he’s been there before saw us struggling & jumped in to tell us how it worked which was nice.

Pros: Fair price , Grab & go, Lots of toppings & sauce options

Cons: Unclear signage
