Mama's serves up tasty Middle Eastern food like falafel, souvlaki, and wraps filled with grilled meat. A lot of the items come wrapped in their delicious homemade flatbread. And the portions are very generous.
I've tried many dishes here, and I think I prefer the ones made with ground meat or sausage. Both the souvlaki and the garlic chicken can be just a bit tough, though they are flavorful. I love the kofta wrap with ground beef as well as the wrap with the sausage. The wraps are slathered with hummus and little pickles; the mixture of creamy, tangy, and savory is very nice.
Another favorite of mine are the pies, which are kind of like quesadillas made with their flatbread. The pies come with your choice of cheese, spinach, and meat.
Most of the seating is in a covered patio on plastic chairs and tables. So it's not fancy, but it's a fantastic place to grab good, fast food for a decent price.
