“Is the country ready for a national vegetarian chain? I think it’s a fact; it’s not really a question anymore.”

“The combination of falafel, salad and juices make it the perfect option for people on the go.”

New York Metro

“At Maoz Vegetarian, falafel is available in a pita sandwich, a salad, or as a side item. Several toppings, eight sauces, and a salad bar help fill the pita pockets. The combo deals include choices of Mediterranean favorites, such as Hummus and Babaghanoush.”

QSR Magazine

“Our favorite restaurant chain, by far”

“a stunningly simple, yet highly compelling, concept that’s vegetarian in nature but appeals to carnivores as well. With today’s emphasis on fast, healthy food that’s inexpensive I think they might just be on to something.”
