Regular Maoz - Edit
Just the regular Maoz, but with tons of people waiting in line, since it's located in a very popular area.

Maoz Never Disappoints - Edit
This was my first stop in Barcelona and, as usual, I devoured my delicious falafel with glee. Maoz is the best. This particular shop was very clean and the salad bar was super fresh and well-stocked. The falafel is made fresh-to-order and that makes the difference! The fries are delicious too. The only thing I found disappointing is not enough room in my falafel to fill it with all the toppings I want, it's hard to pick. I think a falafel bowl might be a better option but I love the challenge of chowing down on a sandwich that's falling apart.
Read moreYum yum yum. Don't forget to douse your falafel in tahini sauce when you're done filling it up!
Pros: TASTY, Clean, Reliably good filling meal

Best falafel ever - Edit
I absolutely recommend this place. This was the best falafel I have ever eaten in my whole life. The falafel itself was very good. But especially the vegetables which you can add yourself are very fine and had a delicious taste. My favourites were the mixed wheat (?) with coriander, tomato-cucumber, some very spicy pesto lookalike sauce and the hummus.The fries were not my favourite (maybe because I'm used to Belgian fries :).
Read morePros: fine and tasty vegetables to add
Cons: no toilet

really good - Edit
The basic is vegan. You can chose humus as the basic sauce. Almost all the ingredients from the salad bar are vegan and 'all you can eat'. They even have 1 vegan sauce.

A fight to the front - Edit
You can generally be guaranteed amazing freshly prepared falafel here with lashings of fantastic salad, as much as you can pile on. In a bustling side street off Las Ramblas this is a very busy take-out affair. Open til 3am and a great place for on the hoof food. Serves cans of cold beer also, which is a bonus. My only concern about the format here is that it becomes extremely crowded with people jostling for position over the salad counter, and even filling up with salad again whilst they have half-eaten their falafel. This to me creates hygiene problems i.e. using utensils again on sandwiches that have already been eaten and people spluttering over and touching the food at the salad bar. On 1 Jan 2013 the place was absolutely heaving with people showing absolutely no concern for incoming customers. We had to leave in a bit of a fury after a 15 minute wait, and felt sorry for the lone staff member who had to deal with some rude customers demanding their food and then crowding the salad counter preventing others from getting in. I have been going to Maoz around Europe since 2002 but now I think I may have 'outgrown' it as there are so many other vegetarian and vegan fast food options available in most cities. Give Wok to Walk a try in Barcelona if Maoz is too busy only a few hundred yards away on Ferran or at Las Ramblas.

Comparison to other MAOZ stores - Edit
I have to admit it - I've been addicted to falafel and visited about 15+ different MAOZ in Europe and the US over the past 10 years. Most of them are closed by now sadly.
Read moreSo I can give you a comparison to other MAOZ stores:
- Unfortunately this is the last remaining MAOZ in Barcelona. There have been much more a few years ago.
- The Interior is the same as everywhere.
- This store also has olives (yum!) and dried tomatoes (YUMMY!!)
- They allow to get as much extra ingredients as you like! Neat! (That's not how other MAOZ stores are handling it - some even forbid to get extra sauces on your fries)
- Staff is very friendly yet some are really crazy people ;-) So if you're mom's beloved personal fairy queen, you might not cope with their jokes.
- Yet they are a bit slower than I have expected it - but no worries, doesn't matter!
- Falafel taste the same as in every MAOZ, also the sauces etc.
- Sadly they have no toilet around.
All in all: Very nice fast food for vegans in Barcelona. Normal prices.

Last Maoz In Barcelona - Edit
Used to be a bunch of these in Barcelona, now this location is the last one. Good falafel, fresh pita, and veggie sides you can refill at your leisure. Small place, might have to stand. They used to have a spicy red sauce to put on the falafel, but no more. Other than that, i enjoyed it as usual.

Disappointed - Edit
Honestly, the only good thing I can say is that I liked the french fries.
Read more- The falafel was way bellow average.
- The staff was rude with some customers.
- The place was not specially clean.
- There was plenty of water in the hummus and in the tahini sauce.
So... being in such a nice location in Las Ramblas, crowded with vegetarian restaurants, I'd recommend you to go somewhere else!
Pros: French fries
Cons: Taste, Staff, Cleaning issues

Simple and good - Edit
I liked this a lot. Staff was friendly. I'll ate that menu which include falafel and fries. Fries were crispy and falafel and hummus was good. And there is something like ten to fifteen ingredients that you can add. I think this is a very good place to start tasting falafel and hummus. Place is very small and there is a sign that you are not allowed to eat food outside restaurant so if you'll try to be a good citizen prepare to wait.

Basic But Tasty - Edit
Don't expect to sit, but you can grab a hearty falafel pita and stuff it full of healthy ingredients just the same. Stand or carry away, and enjoy a great and inexpensive meal. Love this place for a quick complete vegan meal.

Delicious felafel - Edit
We needed some fuel to explore Barcelona and head to Maoz after reading the reviews on Happy Cow.
Read moreIt was easy to find. Upon our arrival, the girl at the counter was extremely enthusiastic and told us that we could have any topping on our felafels.
The felafels were delicious, portions generous and there was cold beer.
Also, some awesome music was playing.
Pros: portions, friendly staff, cheap
Cons: small place

for a quick falafel - maybe - Edit
This place is always full of people, messy and with staff who seem very tired of their work.
Read moreI came here several times, it is ok, but when you look around you start wonder about the hygienic standard of the place.
One time when I was really hungry I even ordered french fries. I couldn't believe it. They collect already heated fries on a shelf and just reheat it. You can imagine how disgusting and unhealthy that is.
Why not try to find a Lebanese restaurant? This fast food place is after all not that cheap.
they do have some great salads, like sun dried tomatoes and olives. However, sometimes they reduce the options so you will not find the things you did last time you were there.
they usually prepares the Falafel when you order them but it has happen to me that they give me already cold falafels or reheat falafels. I get stomach pain from reheated fat...
Pros: in city center, quick
Cons: small, stressful, few seats, messy, impression of not being a clean place, staff of bunch of tired people

Easy to find, good falafel - Edit
You're probably familiar with Maoz, so I won't tell you what they are.
Read moreThere's room for a few people, with some stools inside to sit on. The food is the same great quality you've come to expect from Maoz, and this location is easy to find when wandering around the city.
Definitely worth stopping in during a trip to Barcelona.
Pros: All-vegetarian, Easy to find
Cons: Limited seating

Great Fixins - Edit
The fellafel was really good, albeit I could have had an extra ball or two. The fixins' were great, including sun dried tomatoes and cauliflower. Good deal, albeit EUR 4.50 was a bit steep.

Maoz is always good... - Edit
We knew Maoz from Amsterdam, so we were happy that there was a Maoz in Barcelona. The falafel is really tasty, the salad bar is fresh, it's one of the best vegetarian fastfood concepts we know.

Always a decent vegan snack - Edit
I'm a great fan of falafel. I make them myself from scratch, I eat them neraly everywhere I go. Maoz Falafel does not make the best falafel on earth but so far they were decent at every Maoz I went to. Maoz in BCN was no exception.

Great felafels and chips!! - Edit
Ok, this place is pretty much the same as all other Maoz's but just want to say that I can't recommend these places highly enough. They are cheap and fast and the array of fillings (mostly vegan, all vegetarian) for your felafels is amazing and you can add as much as you can balance on your pitta! Must give a mention to the chips, they seem to part cook them and then fry them on request, I thought this might make them dried up but, somehow, it makes them really tasty..maybe the nicest chips I've ever had. If you are on a tight budget then visit this place for all your meals... I did!
Read morePros: Cheap, Filling, Great chips
Cons: Only a few seats

Maoz Falafel, Barcelona - Edit
Review: I've eaten here many a time for tasty vegan food on the move. Centrally located just off La Rambla and very close to Placa Reial, bargain prices. Only a couple of the sauces in the salad bar aren't vegan. I've been here at closing time and instead of throwing away unsold food they take it outside to give to homeless people.

Cons: None
