Okay I guess

The mushroom pita was nice, but the fries were not that good and the cashier was unfriendly. Not really a cosy place either.

Pros: Mushroom shoarma, Price

Cons: Unfriendly cashier, The fries, Cold inside when the weather is bad

Yummy and very central

It‘s very near to the central station and here you can make your pita by yourself.

Delicious falafel

I didn't have to wait long for a fresh falafel. The pita bread was very tasty. You can choose which toppings and sauces you want. The staff is friendly. The only downside is that you don't get a plate.

Pros: Freshly prepared, Pick your own toppings and sauce, Delicious pita

Cons: No plate

Literally saved my life besties

Okay, so the title for my review is ofc a joke, I don't know the employees nor did they 'literally' save my life. However, after a tremendously straining journey on night trains, I've been looking for a fully vegan place near the train station, that's open after the New Year's Eve - and this turned out to be the only choice in walkable distance to fulfill this criteria.
The place was bustling with life and the workers were under a lot of pressure, but managing it gracefully (though, I certainly don't envy them). The falafel was very very tasty, the only downside for me was that I couldn't fit all of the many many condiments in the pita haha! The struggle to choose...
Also, while I like the salad bar concept, it *does* however feel strange to be touching the same instruments as possibly dozens or hundreds of tourists, and then eating with those same hands, though of course in a hectic environment that is kept clean to the best of the employees' abilities.

Great fast food

Great option if you want fast food. Very close to central station. I love the fried oyster mushrooms. Salad bar was good and fresh.

yummy place with good pitas & more

Been to Maoz Amsterdam two weeks ago and it was lovely. I liked the pitas with sautéed mushrooms (they also have froed eggplant and falafel) you can fill on your own all with the veggies and salad you like.
Friendly staff and a nice place to get a small meal

Pros: good prices , friendly staff, all vegan

Nice. Not more.

Cheap.
Meal is ready in 2 minutes from order time.
Food tastes good but not special.
The least tasty falafel and hummous I tried (still good though).
Staff was impatient and unclear.

Just ok

Falafel pitas were decent. Falafel was cooked well & lots of toppings to choose from. Price point was good, but the sign explaining how to order was not very clear. They were kinda rude when we asked about the ordering process. I would understand if they were super busy & we were holding up the line, but that was not the case. Another customer who said he’s been there before saw us struggling & jumped in to tell us how it worked which was nice.

Pros: Fair price , Grab & go, Lots of toppings & sauce options

Cons: Unclear signage

Super cool experience 😎

This place is super cool. I went there during the night, on my way home. I was literally blown away, by being able to go to a vegan establishment after a night out. I was not used to that anymore and it felt so good 👍
Definitely worth paying it a visit 🤩

Pros: Opening hours , Pita Falafel

best vegan “fast” food

I’ve been there a few times and it’s always amazing!! I’d recommend the pita with falafel and hummus or mushroom shawarma. The garlic sauce is also extremely good. They give you your pita and you can fill it yourself:)

Lovely food

Quick and easy and cheap compared go alot of food places in Amsterdam. You can choose a filling falafel, eggplant, houmous etc and then fill it with as much salad as you like. Lots of salad and sauce options. The only problem is trying to eat it once you've filled it full.

Simple food but top quality

Maoz had the best fries & a really good hummus pita. At first I was skeptical the pita only had hummus & lettuce but it was really good! Fast food but healthier.

Tasty and cheap

I tried the salad and the pita, with falafels and mushrooms. It was very tasty, I like how you can pick your own condiments. Everything is vegan, including the sauce. The place is a bit small and crowded.

Pros: Tasty , Cheap, Fast

Cons: Small place

Falafel pita and fries

Cool concept, you can put as much as you want in your pita and it was really good. Just the fries were not so so good.

Great for a quick bite before getting the train

The falafel was tasty and I filled my pita with as much salad and sauce as I could. It's a stone's throw from Central Station, which makes it an excellent choice for something to eat before catching a train.

Pros: Quick and easy, You can take as much salad as you want , Central location

Healthy Lunch

The Salat Bowl with Falafel tasted good and I liked that you get to decide on your own how much of each salad you’d like to get. The bowl seemed small but was plenty enough.

The staff however was just okay.. They seemed stressed (although I get that as it was quite busy) but the had trouble understanding our order and got it wrong 2 times and added hummus without stating that it costs extra. So take a look at the screen to check if it’s what you ordered..

Best falafel!

The falafel is lovely, comes in a nice pitta with humus. Self serve salads to add into your pitta are delicious. Only downside is I wish I could fit more salad in my pitta!! Also quite hard to eat once you've stuffed them full of all the salads! Couldn't take a photo cause I couldn't hold the camera and the pitta haha!

Would definitely go back. It doesn't seem as exciting as some of the options available in Amsterdam because as vegans we've been living off falafel being the only option for such a long time that we get lured by newer exciting offerings. But there's a reason there are loads of this chain in Amsterdam and that's because it is really delicious.

Pros: Amazing salads, Self serve so you have more of the ones you like , Choice of vegan sauces

Cons: Hard to eat without making a mess , (maybe that's just me?!) , Would like a "wrapped to eat later" option

Decent if you're in the area

The falafel are decent at this Maoz location. The interior is not that cozy, and the employees seem quite bored to be there. But the opening hours are a lot better than at most places in Amsterdam. So if you're waiting for your train or bus and are hungry, this is a good option.
