Olympic charges the tip as part of your bill so you don’t have to leave any extra on the table unless your service was particularly worthy.
What’s wrong with that?

As long as they don’t have shady business practices like Olympic Pita does they’ll be fine. OP charged me gratuity on on a regular meal for 2 people. When asked to see where it was stated on the menu or on the wall they balked and took it off the bill. Really classless move on their part.

I truly think Maoz supercedes all these other chains and falafel vendors (they are far better than crisp on multiple levels, much healthier and tastier than all the others). Also their breakfast and dessert options are delicious. I don’t think there is one item they sell that’s not delectable. I am so happy they are opening in this neighborhood, I plan on make many visits.. CONGRATS!!

Maoz is amazing if a little expensive. The toppings bar is amazing.

Brownie, did you just double-dip that falafel? That’s like putting your whole mouth right in the topping trough! From now on, when you fill a falafel, just do one fill…. and end it!

I know it’s a chain, but I’m a sucker for Maoz. Oh this is dangerous to the wallet…

Question for all you veteran Maozites…is it actually acceptable to refill your pita? I’ve always been vaguely terrified to refill…

It can be a really cheap lunch. I used to feast at Maoz once per week. I would get the salad bowl, no eggplant or hummus mind you. Pay at the register, it was $7.00+.

But I got to fill with whatever I can at the bar. If you can hide the shame of overfilling, then go ahead! I stuffed my salad box till I could barely snap it shut. I saw some guy pile it on and didn’t even close his lid…the fix-ins were on the brink of falling off… so pile on and get a soda from a deli nearby and you got yourself a 8-9 dollar lunch. Plus it’s halfway healthy.

@ andre mika: totally agree dude. i first came across maoz when i was traveling in amsterdam and it definitely satisfied my “munchies.” was psyched when first one opened in u. sq. love that you can keep refilling with condiments. allows you to get so much more mileage out of a single falafel pita and can dress up different layers in different styles. crisp vs. maoz will be good showdown. my bet is crisp wins in specialty falafel category given its innovative creations and size. maoz wins on traditional cart-like falafel category with its array of condiments.

Lisa: Just because there’s a Seamless web decal doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll deliver to your address. A lot of restaurants have strict delivery zones and won’t budge from it. There’s a place that won’t deliver to me even though I live just two blocks North of them because I’m half a block West of their delivery zone. I live a lot closer to them than other places in their delivery zone. But they won’t make the allowance.
