Just like their location in Manhattan's Greenwich Village, the local Mamouns is a landmark in New Haven. The food choices are pretty wide and there are non-vegetarian dishes (Halal meats, etc). If you get passed that then you will be rewarded with a page of their menu labeled "Vegetarian (Non-Dairy)" which is all vegan. Falafels, hummus, etc. You can get sandwiches, you can get plates. It's all quick, cheap and available late into the night.

I was excited when I walked into this place. It's cool-looking (nice colorful stain glass lights on the ceiling and lots of plants climbing on the window and the ceiling). And about half the menu is vegan! There are lots of options and I was eager to try a bunch. We had the pumpkin soup, the falafel sandwich, the masdook sandwich, and a Moujedrha dish. The good thing is that they were cheap! The bad thing is that they were very bland. I'd probably go back if I wanted a cheap falafel ($2.95), but I'd go somewhere else if I wanted something tasty.
