Maoz Vegetarian

With only 30 minutes to get to the Cafe de Paris, and a grumbling tum, stopped in here for a bite the other week. Marvellous value, marvellous food; all so fresh and scrumptious. And all for six quid - you really can't go wrong - highly recommended to all and sundry.

Fancy dining it is not but if you are looking for good value veggie food in central London you cannot go wrong here.

I went there with a friend on 28.02.12 for the first time after finding it through this website,,,We had Moaz Meal & Moaz salad meal,,the food was good,I liked the idea,,but the blond lady who served us was unfriendly and unprofessional,she put our meal on the counter without explaining anything about the salad until I asked.I work in hospitality, As a new customer,staff should welcome&serve customers all the time,thanks.

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, and ever so yum.
