IS MAZAL A
vegan restaurant?
No, and it is better to say so up front. Mazal is a Mediterranean street food restaurant in Magnolia Park, West Ashley, and the kitchen also cooks shawarma, kebab, schnitzel and grilled chicken.
What we do have is a real vegan menu built from Mediterranean staples: chickpeas, tahini, cauliflower, cabbage and a salad bar. 12 dishes are vegan and 10 of them are gluten-free, so a vegan and a shawarma fan can order at the same counter and sit at the same table. The brothers behind Mazal grew up on this food.
ORDER THE BOWL.
Not the pita.
Falafel and roasted cauliflower come two ways: in a pita or in a bowl. They look almost the same. Only the bowl is vegan.
Three things to know, at the counter or online
- Falafel or cauliflower: choose the bowl. The pita versions are vegetarian, not vegan.
- Hummus plates come with one pita. Ask for no pita to keep the plate vegan and gluten‑free.
- Salad Plate: pick any four salads from the salad bar except the red cabbage in mayonnaise.
Sabich and the farm fresh omelet contain egg, so they are vegetarian in either format. Tahini and amba contain sesame. Gluten-free here means no gluten ingredients: our kitchen also handles wheat (pita, schnitzel, kebab), so we cannot offer a gluten-free environment.
ROASTED. CARAMELIZED.
Drizzled by Hand.
Thick-cut cabbage steak, slow-roasted in the oven until golden and caramelized. Finished with a tahini mustard drizzle, by hand.
WHOLE-ROASTED Cauliflower.
A full head of cauliflower, roasted until the edges char and the inside turns tender. Finished with lemon, garlic, and parsley. No pre-cut florets, no shortcuts.
Order it as a starter for the table ($16), or get the Roasted Cauliflower Bowl ($16) for a full vegan meal.
12 Vegan Dishes.
11 Also Gluten-Free.
SOAKED OVERNIGHT,
Fried to Order.
Chickpeas soaked overnight, ground fresh, fried per order. Three ways to enjoy them at Mazal.

VEGAN QUESTIONS
No. Mazal is a Mediterranean street food restaurant in West Ashley, and the kitchen also cooks shawarma, kebab, schnitzel and grilled chicken. What we do have is 12 vegan dishes built from Mediterranean staples like chickpeas, tahini, cauliflower and fresh salads, so a vegan and a meat eater can order at the same counter.
12 dishes are vegan: Falafel Bowl ($17), Roasted Cauliflower Bowl ($16), Baked Cauliflower ($16), Cabbage Steak ($12), Mazal Salad ($8), Salad Plate ($12, any four salads except the red cabbage in mayonnaise), Falafel Plate ($10), Seasoned Fries ($10), Falafel Salad ($16.90), and three hummus plates without pita: Classic ($12.40), Tahini and Chickpeas ($13.40) and the MAZAL Signature with falafel ($15). 10 of them are gluten-free. Falafel Salad is not, because it is topped with crispy pita chips, and Seasoned Fries are not, because they share a fryer with breaded items.
Yes, when it is served without pita. The Falafel Bowl, the Falafel Plate and the MAZAL Signature hummus (no pita) are vegan and gluten-free. The falafel pita is vegetarian only, because our pita is not vegan or gluten-free. Falafel Salad is vegan but comes with crispy pita chips. More on our falafel.
Yes. The Classic, Tahini and Chickpeas, and MAZAL Signature hummus plates are vegan. Each comes with one pita, so ask for it without pita to keep the plate vegan and gluten-free. The hummus plates topped with chicken, shawarma or ground beef kebab are not vegan. See the full hummus bar.
No. Our pita is not vegan and not gluten-free, so a dish served in a pita is vegetarian at most. Order falafel or cauliflower as a bowl, and hummus without pita.
Yes. 11 of our 12 vegan dishes are made without gluten ingredients, including the falafel when it is served without pita. Falafel Salad is the exception because of its pita chips. Gluten-free here means no gluten ingredients: our kitchen also handles wheat (pita, schnitzel, kebab), so we cannot offer a gluten-free environment.
Yes. Tahini and amba contain sesame, a top-9 US allergen, and most vegan dishes include tahini, including the tahini mustard drizzle on the Cabbage Steak. Please tell us about any allergy when you order. Cross-contamination is possible in a shared kitchen.
The whole-roasted Baked Cauliflower. A full head of cauliflower, roasted until charred on the edges and tender inside, finished with lemon, garlic, and parsley sauce. Order it as a starter for the table or next to a bowl.
Yes. Order direct at mazal.cloveronline.com for pickup or delivery. We are also on DoorDash and Uber Eats (all ordering options are on our order page). For the vegan version, order falafel or cauliflower as a bowl, not a pita.
