What's Maoz?
Maoz is a chain of falafel restaurants started by a guy from Amsterdam. What they sell is basically fast food. But it's fast food with a difference.
The difference is that they don't sell meat in any shape or form. They sell falafel, a snack from the Middle East (or to be more precise, from Israel) that's made from chick peas and herbs, formed into small balls and deep fried. These balls are then served in warm pita bread with your choice of raw and pickled vegetables, olives, and sauces.
Sounds simple enough, and it is. And it's delicious.
I've had plenty of falafel in Egypt, and I can honestly say that Maoz sells the best falafel this side of the Mediterranean sea.
The first Maoz store was in Amsterdam, and there are four there now. Furthermore, there are stores in Groningen, Nijmegen, Leiden and Rotterdam, and also in other countries: India, France, Spain, Australia, the UK and the US.
Healthy, tasty vegetarian snack food is about to conquer the world. Go, Maoz!
