I visited Mamoun's Falafel and found the ambiance to be great. There was ample seating, and the music created a lively atmosphere. They have kiosks for ordering, which was convenient, but as a first-timer, I found it a bit tricky to decide what to order. I ended up getting the lamb platter ($13.99 plus tax), even though I initially had chicken in mind. The order didn’t take long to prepare, though I mistakenly went to pick it up before my turn.
The food was served hot, and the beef had a distinct charred flavor, which stood out. However, the rice wasn’t as fluffy as I’ve had elsewhere, and the overall dish felt a bit dry. While the meat was flavorful, the pairing with the rice didn’t quite meet my expectations.
Overall, the place has a nice vibe, and the ordering process is streamlined. However, just judging it based on the food, I’d say it was okay. Since this establishment has been around for a while, I’m sure they have a loyal fan base that appreciates their flavor profile—it just didn’t resonate with me.

Previously enjoyed visits to the original NYC location multiple times.
This location is great in the lively downtown Princeton area.
Lovely well-maintained space with nice decor. Lots of seating.
Order via user-friendly kiosks at the counter. Food was ready in about 5-10 minutes.
Food was great...I had a platter with falafel, lamb, rice, grape leaves and hummus. Also had some baklava for dessert...also great. Very satisfying meal.
Prices were reasonable given the amount of food you get.
Staff were very friendly and efficient.
Metered street parking in the nearby surrounding streets.

Love the falafels! Lamb was quite strong for me. Sandwich is great if you want less carbs but if you're hungrier, platter comes with rice

Great food, great service!
They accidently sent me the wrong order and within a few minutes they made it right by sending a new order + extra to make it right. Great customer service! I'll be back again.
Thank you to the manager for making it right :)

Great lunch at Mamoun's! Nedal hooked me up with 2 hot sauce to go with my Macdougal. Also informed me the name comes from the street that the original the restaurant was on in NY!
