Union Square Falafel Battle: Maoz, Pita Joe, Moshe's, and Rainbow

Near Union Square is Murray's Falafel & Grill at 261 First Avenue. We take it back to the office and everyone enjoys it. However no one here is a falafel maven, so we're curious to what others think and should we try Maoz. FYI, except for Murray himself, the ambiance is zero but the food is quite good for the type of place.

The Grill on the Alley in Beverly Hills has one of the best if not the best burger in LA. Yes I know it is pricey and the shoe string fries are extra but if you are looking for a burger that is made to be eaten rare (black and blue) then this is the place.

kind of a late post here, but holy cow... Maoz is just about the worst falafel I've ever tried. How could it be any worse? Did someone actually mention Chickpea? They're the all-time worst.

Rainbow is a standard by which all falafel should be judged -- classic and excellent. City wide, Alfanoose, Mamoun's, Azuri, Olympic (in Midwood) and Taim are all fantastic. Comparing a place like Maoz to those spots is sort of like comparing Pizza Hut to Gruppo, or Taco Bell to Pinche... inconceivable. I say no more chains, European or not. Let's not let NYC turn into a suburban mall.

Maoz veggie bar is awesome (that broccoli!) but I don't think any place can beat the ingredient-driven Taim.

We first had Maoz in Barcelona...I haven't been to the NY Maoz but the fries at their Barcelona locations made it a favorite for us. Fried chickpeas plus fried potatoes = heaven.

Did anyone watch the Bobby Flay Throwdown at Taïm?? He won...which is absolutely absurd. I can't imagine anyone's falafel balls beating Taïm!
