Maoz Vegetarian *, Sunrise

Falafel is so hearty and warm, it can be easy to forget that it is made from a simple blend of chickpeas and spices. It emerges from oil, crackling and golden brown to nestle among veggies and sauces in pita bread, salads or bowls at Maoz Vegetarian. Patrons can choose from coleslaw, broccoli, tabouli salad, chickpea salad, and a wide variety of other salad bar items to top off their dishes. However, the falafel, which also happens to be gluten free, is merely the centerpiece of a much larger menu of other dishes including Sweet Potato fries or Belgian fries, a thick-cut and lightly battered version of standard french fries. They also feature a line of fresh squeezed juices, smoothies and acai bowls. There are other vegan options as well, and Maoz is a supervised kosher restaurant!
