Nice little food truck that appears to have home base at 46th and 6th. The truck offers the standard array of falafel dishes (pita or platter or straight-up ballin). Today I opted for a whole falafel sandwich with whole wheat pita (that option is always a big plus factor to me). The falafel ball itself is pretty decent, not oily, but I think I wanted a bit more of a crunch. The sandwich comes topped with several thick cut fries and some mini-dill pickles. The fries are actually pretty damn good. The sandwiches come with tachina (tahini in non tribespeak) and hot sauce – the tachina is pretty decent as well.
Might not be on par with Mamoun's, TAÏM, or Cafe Azuri, but it's quick, fresh, whole wheated, and pretty good.
Moshe's is located on the southeast corner of 46th and 6th (aka Avenue of the Americas). It's a food cart located on a street with tons of other food carts. Best to get here earlier to avoid crowds and wait times.
I ordered the whole sandwich which comes with fries. Not sure if the half comes with fries… not sure what the half even is.
If you're looking for a sandwich that isn't your typical cold cuts between two slices of bread, this is it. Moshe's falafel sandwich is filling and quite satisfying at the same time. I've definitely had better falafel sandwiches (i.e. Mamoun's Falafel, Taim), but in Midtown, this truck is pretty much the place to go for your falafel fix. The falafel isn't as flavorful as somewhere else and it is a little less crispy on the outside, but they are huge and along with the tahini and hot sauce (it's not that spicy), it's pretty tasty. There's a pickle and the usual tomato and lettuce in the sandwich as well.
The great addition here is the fries. They're actually delicious, to my surprise. After a 7 block walk, I thought these things would be soggy but they actually stayed crispy and were delicious with the tahini and hot sauce.
Falafel sandwiches are something I don't eat often because for me, they are delicious when I eat them, but afterwards I feel kind of gross for some reason. However, to each their own, and if you're in Midtown and love your falafel sandwiches everyday or once every couple months like me, Moshe's is a solid pick.
I'm NOT a vegetarian but this was pretty dang good for a vegetarian meal.
Stopped by the truck on 46th/6th ave and got the Whole-Falafel sandwich – $7.75
The pita was PACKED with veggies, sauce, and plenty of falafel. Also you can choose to have it topped with fries for free if you want.
The falafels were pretty good and the fries were nice and crispy. The sandwich was VERY big too which is a plus.
Not many places you can find a quality sandwich for under $8.
I reallyyyy wanted to love this place. ever since returning from Israel last year, I've been craving good falafel. Moshe's is a few blocks from the office and had good reviews so I figured I'd walk over and give it a try.
unfortunately, the walk was the best part.
the food truck staff were friendly enough, but the falafel itself was disappointing. I ordered the falafel pita (layered with falafel, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, french fries, more falafel, and a pickle). the pita was dry and bland, the veggies were fresh but the lettuce was still wet. the fries were greasy and unseasoned. worst of all, the falafel was incredibly bland. the texture was decent but there was no flavor, just mush. the tahina was another layer of bland. even the hot sauce was barely flavorful.
overall, a giant portion of bland-on-bland, which landed itself in the trash after a few bites. womp womppp.
My go to cart when I'm in the neighborhood for hot crunchy hint of cumin laced deliciously fried to perfection chickpea balls!!
Come on people, 6 piping hot balls for less than $4 that are accompanied by some amazing briney Israeli pickles, a generous container of tahini sauce and a super spicy and incredibly mouth watering pepper hot sauce to dip in, it's a meal fit for any vegetarian kosher royalty! They also offer hot soup and the falafels are also served the traditional in a pocket pita with whatever fixings you desire as well.
The staff is super friendly and accommodating when you ask for extra sauce and the cart is there rain or shine closer to 6th on 46th (minus shabbos/shabbat or however you know it as)
Truly a gem in the food cart foodie category!
Ugh
Had their 6 falal combo.
Disappointed but the owner is pretty nice.
I wish I could lie and give a 4 stars.
But
I cannot
I am a good person with a pure heart pursuing for food
And the taste of the food here is – ugh, come on!
Along with the cheap price
I may be less unhappy
Still
I am disappointed.
This is one of the best falafel I have ever had. It's freshly fried unlike most other places which have fried falafel waiting there for the customer to come. Cold fried falafel does not taste good. The tahini sauce is great. The hot sauce is really hot, so have your drinks next to you. The fries are good, they fry it on the spot. One winter day I was waiting for my food and they gave me one falafel to eat while I was waiting, and no they don't short change you by giving you one less falafel in your sandwich, awesome service, knows how to take care of the customer.
I am not hating on this falafel. Never greasy, still moist yet crunchy, cheap, lightly coated in tahini (if you want it to be) and easy to walk and eat – it's a thing I like to do in the city.
It's hard and I do mean HARD to find good falafel in Manhattan, whether it be a restaurant or a stand. HARD! But Moshe's definitely hooks it up for the $4, a little plate of satisfying falafel balls.
