10Best Says

When in the mood for something delicious, convenient and vegetarian, think Mama's Vegetarian. This scrumptious, kosher, Middle Eastern eatery serves up delicious vegetarian fare every weekday. With menu options like soup of the day, platters made up of veggie patties, eggplant slices, grape leaves, hummus and falafel that tastes too good to be true, you know you're in for something up a notch from hum-drum. It's affordable, it's quick and easy, yet it's easy and works with vegetarian and kosher eating plans. That's added value right there, and if you believe what others say about the falafel being stupendous, that's even better. Good food at good prices that's not special-diet-crushing is worth talking about.
