  staple food in amsterdam

  Current

  I first saw Maoz in Amsterdam a couple of years back when me and my ex pretty much had it once a day when we were there for a week! It's great because it's takeaway food but it actually tastes nice and is much healthier for you than burgers (with dubious meat!). I was so pleased when I found out there's not one, but two in Soho! They seem to open pretty late aswell so is perfect for grabbing something quick when you get the munchies on the way home from central.

  Great food! Great price! Loads of lovely fresh salad. Not a great place to take a date though, as it's lively and packed with not many tables. Good for a take away snack!

  Maoz Falafel

  Current

  I'd heard about this small restaurant somewhere in Soho that did really good falafel with a salad bar you could eat as much as you wanted. Not much to go on while walking around Soho on the same day as the Chinese New Year celebrations.
  
  But, a phone call to a friend with googling powers at finger tips, a mention of Maoz, and they're all "Oh yeah, that place!" So armed with an address and my A to Z (I'm not from here) and off we go.
  
  Get there and it's packed! A good sign! When we get inside it's not too clear the procedure of ordering or where the line begins/ends, but hey! We found it, we were happy.
  
  After finding a table and a 4th chair, we happily wait while enjoying the remarkable looking food that keeps appearing. Green and black olives, marinated mushrooms, delicious looking sauces etc, and before too long our own little wholemeal pita packets - which came pre-loaded with fried eggplant and little falafel packets (you get to choose if you want feta as well).
  
  We all filled ours with a bit of everything, leaving them practically overflowing with goodness, and I choose the corriander sauce - which reminded me of a great thai dipping sauce - delicious!
  
  The food was great and more than what we expected and left us with the post food silents. Then the "Oh wow that was good"'s started, for at least 5 minutes.
  
  For around £4 each, we had our fill of healthy, tasty vegetarian food! And I only went up twice!
  
  I'll be recommending this place to my vegetarian and non-vegetarian friends alike.
  
  We left yelling (it was still busy) out to the guys behind the counter "Thank you so much that was great!" - too which they were cleary appreciative, and left on our merry ways.

  Where else in central london can you find delicious, 'healthy' food, for amazing value?
  
  After a Sunday afternoon of drinking Champers, the logical place for dinner was Maoz. Falafel that was moist and delicate, humous that was so tasty that I literally had to tell my dining companion to stop saying it or I would strangle her, a fresh salad bar with my personal fav of fried cauliflower, chunky chips, and if that weren;t enough, the Maoz boys are always flirty and entertaining...all for under a fiver.

  Small, poky, loud and often overcrowded. But for a reason.
  
  Maoz, omnipresent in Amsterdam, has been feeding hordes of tourists, Old Compton St regulars and local office workers for a few good years now, and its main attraction is falafel.
  
  Deep fried - just like their fantastic chunky chips - it actually tastes better than it sounds and in fact looks healthy. Not sure why. Maybe because you can top up your meal with an assortment of veggies, olives, couscous and sauces. But don't fool yourselves - it still is fast food. At £3-4 a portion it's a fantastic alternative to your lardy burger or dodgy kebabs though.
  
  Just don't go there with a full bladder. The toilets are, well, equally cheap....
