Mama's is delicious and cheap, wonderful for vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike. The service is fantastic and your order will be taken efficiently and with a smile. I have had Mama's cater parties and their party trays were a big hit. more

This is a great place to pick up a meal to go. The nan bread is amazing. Don't be intimidated if you haven't had lebonese, there's something for everyone. Ex: my kids love the cheese pie (I do too, I admit). more

Forget the overpriced, overhyped Middle Eastern restaurants. Mama's is the real deal: A reasonable price, for great food, served by really nice folks. The only downside is the decidedly unfancy ambiance. But if you can deal with that, you're in for a real treat. more
