Maoz

Maoz is one of my favorite spots in Long Island to grab healthy fast food without worrying about greasy fries breaking out my face the following day. Maoz is a franchise with three locations in New York. The location I visited is located in the food court of Roosevelt Field Mall in Garden City. I was ecstatic to finally see healthier food options available in the food court. It was a relief to see more than Chinese food and greasy fast food while strolling through the food court.

One of the things I love the most about Maoz is that they provide you with the freedom of building your salad without limiting how many ingredients you can add or charging you extra for each topping. So you know when ya girl comes to this restaurant I'm putting EVERYTHING on my salad! There is always a wide range of vegetables available for you to choose from, so if you are picky with your vegetables you shouldn’t have any problems.

Whenever I visit Maoz I always order a salad bowl with falafel, but you can opt to eat your food from a rice bowl, hummus bowl, or even from a pita pocket. At Maoz you can also find an assortment of fresh squeezed juices, vegan smoothies and daily soups.

Side note, believe it or not, this is where I tried sweet potato fries for the first time, and I've been hooked ever since!
