This falafel and shawarma restaurant in lower Manhattan specializes in big, dripping platters and wraps that are served up quick and don't cost much. A NYC favorite, Mamoun's even has its own branded hot sauce. Be warned: it's not for anyone with a sensitive tongue. The West Village location is tiny, but there is some limited seating.
