Perfect Falafel Bar - Edit
The falafel are the best we have ever eaten and come with delicious, soft pita bread which they fill with hummus and salad for you. You then get to help yourself to toppings such as onions, tomatoes, chickpea salad, chillis etc etc (only one non vegan topping) and all but three sauces are vegan. The chips they do are soooo good, lovely and crispy.
They have a great meal deal of a pita & falafel, chips and a drink for a good price (cant remember how much, about 7.50 euros I think).
As others have said, this place gets BUSY and even if you do manage to get a seat its not the most comfortable as its quite cramped. When its quiet its perfect here.
We returned a number of times as its such good value and delicious.
Pros: Great falafel, Self service salad bar
Cons: Not 100% vegan, Not a lot of seating room

Quick, tasty and cheap - Edit
If you like falafel, you will not leave this place hungry! So nice and welcoming staff, and you get a lot for your money. The salad bar only have one thing not vegan, and three sauces not vegan. You can also fill up from the salad bar as often as you please.
Pros: Nice staff, cheap, tasty
Cons: The place is very small, and can get crowded

Super lunch - Edit
We had a busy sight seeing morning and we're over joyed to find this little cafe. The food was delicious, tasty and wholesome. The service was fantastic, the young men were very polite and made every effort to make sure all customers were satisfied. Well done!
Pros: Great veggie food, Service was brilliant

yummy place - Edit
I have been there once, and I absolutely adore it since I'm a big fan of falafel. The prices are adequate, and I love the fact that you have a buffet of "toppings", that you can repeat unlimitedly. The fries are also very good and the staff nice. It also has a great location, just close of las ramblas! If you want something quick, delicious and cheap this is the place to go :)

Tasty, small, busy, messy - Edit
In general, I think this is the cheapest vegan food in Barcelona. The pita falafel was very good, we also used a lot of toppings from the salad bar. Very filling.
However, the place is super small, it's busy most of the time and the limited seating area wasn't clean at all.
Still, it's a very good place to grab a bite.
4 cows, because some sauces are not vegan.
Pros: Tasty, Huge pita falafel, Cheap
Cons: Small place, Busy and messy, Limited seating area

Cheap and convenient - Edit
We visited here twice during our recent stay mainly out of convenience as it is open till late. On offer you can get a meal deal consisting of falafel, chips and a drink for about €12 or just buy a falafel individually for about €5. We decided to just get a falafel with one white pita and one wholemeal pita, which was tasty but nothing special. However, you can use the salad bar to refill as many times as you want, which was great with some good salad selections available. Unfortunately the shop can be very congested when busy and with limited seating available this can be very frustrating and time consuming. On the second occasion we visited I was extremely disappointed with one particular instance I witnessed where a staff member actually brought a selection of open meat sandwiches into the shop to eat whilst on their break. I'm not saying you have to be vegan to work at vegan outlets but at least show some respect. I just hope they washed their hands thoroughly. I doubt we will return next time around.
Pros: Cheap, Refils available, Convenience
Cons: Busy , Limited seating, Staff could be more respectful

Cheap, healthy and tasty falafel - Edit
Falafel! It costs only 4,9€ and it is sooo good. Served with pita bread or in a bowl plus a bunch of veggie add-ons: baked cauliflowers, lentils, pickles, tomatoes, hummus... Everything, excepting one salad is vegan. And you can refill your pita as much as you want. Downside: cash only.
Pros: tasty, cheap, good location and opening hours
Cons: cash only

fantastic and cheap - Edit
Their menu is 7.5€ and you get fries and drink beside a pita falafel! It's awesome! I could eat at MAOZ all day everyday! Their add-on salad and garnish bar is the cherry on top! Simply great tasting, really good for hangovers!
Pros: Cheap, Tasty af

Classic pita falafel with salad stuffing - Edit
Maoz is a classic and I´ve enjoyed their pita falafels and salads also in Amsterdam and London (but they are not in London anymore). Their falafels are better than average, but the idea in coming here is to stuff your pita full of marinated vegetables from the salad buffet. Don´t finish your pita straight away, you may go and stuff it again, and again! They had great marinated carrots, lentil sauce, sun dried tomatoes, olives, vinegar cabbage etc. and you may to everything with tahina and hot sauces.
Pros: You can restuff your pita!
Cons: Very crowded, no space to sit down

Would go again - Edit
The service was great, woman working was very helpful and a fast worker. The self-serve toppings bar is a great idea, so many choices! Everything was fresh, well priced and lots of vegan friendly options. Look forward to returning.
Pros: Service, Options
Cons: Not many places to sit (more of a fast food restau

Great food, lousy staff - Edit
We went to this Maoz location early June 2015 in the late afternoon and the salad bar had lots of fresh options. Also the falafels were decent. The staff however ruined the meal to a large extent. On arrival we were ignored for a couple of minutes, until the guy behind the counter had finished his text message. The rest of the service was unfriendly and kept to a minimum. The three guys working there were busy playing practical jokes on each other and checking out the girls passing the place.
We do not recommend going there, in the area there are far better veg options.
Pros: Fresh food, location
Cons: Lousy staff

Nice price, nice falafel! - Edit
Just 4€ and you get a Pitta (whole wheat or white) or a bowl to fill many times as you want...
Include 4 little falafel (fried)
Is good and fast !
The options are many and all types of cooked. They use many herbs to add taste, and you have different types of sauces to choose !
Enjoy your meal!
Pros: Hippie falafel ! (travellers option), Fast and delicious, Amazing price
Cons: Fried, ¿?Quality¿?

Good Food Silly Rules - Edit
The all you can eat buffet is a bit deceiving. Of you order the meal in pita bread and think you will want seconds, make sure you east the salad inside the pita and don't finish the bread as you can't get more salad without bread to put it in. Of you decide to get the salad option you can keep refilling the container...
Pros: Nice Falafel
Cons: Unenthusiastic Staff

Yummy - Edit
This small eatery has everything to provide you with lunch. You'll get a yummy falafel-burger which you can refill with healthy vegetables. And the quick lunch options are not expensive.

Good for lunch - Edit
The falafel is good and you get to choose what salad and stuff you want with it. A bit small though, like 10 seats. But good prices!

Does the trick - as always - Edit
Maoz always delivers excellent value, and, amazingly, this was one of the best meals I had in Barcelona. The falafel was super fresh and the salad bar was the usual splendid-ness. You can't miss here, unless it's super busy, which would be deserved. Fair prices, yummy food. All good!
