Went to Mamoun's Falafel on Macdougal Street tonight. Apparently, it's quite famous.
Now I see why: $2 for a handful of pita, falafel, lettuce, tomatoes, hummus, and delicious white sauce.
While in line, I overheard a seasoned customer give a fairly serious warning about the "ketchup" (the hot sauce is dispenced from red squeeze bottles) to an uninformed newbie. Still, I didn't expect the stuff to have such a kick and layered it on. Wow! How rare it is to find a fast food restaurant that caters to people who know ingesting anything with the label "hot" should result in moderate to extreme pain.
Even though I appreciate its existence, next time I think I will reduce my intake of the "ketchup" for reasons of personal safety.

$2 for delicious white sauce?!?! sign me up!
I've already been there four or five times in my short time here.
i love middle eastern food. too bad that falafel would cost me $7 in laguna beach
I concur about the sauce, although it didn't taste or look like the Tahini I was used to getting in the Bay Area.
Expired ketchup would indeed explain its toxicity to my stomach.
