The Dutch falafel fast food chain, Maoz, has started to expand worldwide, opening stores in London, Paris, Munich, Barcelona, Madrid and New York! The concept is pretty simple: you can get variations of the falafel sandwich or salad and add as many toppings (and condiments) as you like from the open salad bar. For a chain, the produce at Maoz is incredibly fresh. There’s cucumber dill salad, fried broccoli and cauliflower, pickled baby eggplant, tomato onion salad, carrots and more. The “meals” include a drink and some come with Belgian fries. I like the salad meal, which includes a salad box (falafel on a bed of shredded lettuce, fried eggplant and hummus) and a drink — I love their fresh orange juice! Each time I visit Maoz, I am blown away by what a good deal it is at less than $10 for this more than copious, very healthy and delicious meal.
