Mama's Vegetarian Falafel is a kosher, vegetarian spot serving Middle Eastern staples on South 20th Street. The menu centers on falafel sandwiches, hummus, fried eggplant, salads, and tahini, with a condiment and pickle bar that regulars make a point of hitting on their way through the line.
Portions run generous, and the falafel is made fresh rather than sitting under a heat lamp. The staff has built a reputation for being friendly and welcoming, and the room functions as much for quick counter-service lunches as it does for catering — the restaurant handles orders for offices, parties, and other events.
