I eat here at least twice a week
My office recently relocated to 19th and JFK, and being a vegetarian I sought out recommendations for lunch places that are veg-friendly. The first place I went to was Mama's, and I've been going multiple times a week since. For the uninitiated, this is not a sit-down restaurant, it's a fast food restaurant, so don't expect a whole lot of atmosphere (although it's a good place to people watch as the clientele are quite diverse). The food here is delicious, and all of the omnivores that I've introduced to Mama's have become repeat customers as well. Aside from Bitar's in South Philly, I can't think of another falafel joint in Philly that gets it so perfectly.

Best falafel in the city
Hands down. And I've tried almost all of them. 'Nuff said.

A piece of home right here in Philadelph
My dad is from Haifa, Israel and he makes all these things from scratch, I definitely would say that this is def good competition for my dad in fact I would venture to say it is the BETTER than the home made made from scratch stuff he makes.. My family is making Sunday our "going into the city day" so we can have it weekly from now on.

The good stuff
I'll have to disagree with the last review. This is the best falafel in center city, hands down, and i will go out of my way, any day, to eat there. sahara, alyan's, philly falafel, maoz - none of these have falafel that compares to mama's. The place is authentic, they make their own bread, the falafel is always hot and as far as falafel goes they get it right. Not that there's much else to choose from anyway, but i've never gotten anything else there because the falafel is that good. The room itself is kind of dumpy but, so what? You will be focusing on your sandwich anyway.

Just okay
The food here is ordinary and fine. The place has the usual pita, hummus, falafel, etc., that you would expect to find. The atmosphere is nothing special (small and not especially well-decorated), either. It's an okay place to grab a quick sandwich if you are in the area, but certainly nothing to seek out.

Authentic Falafel
This is the closest thing to my favorite place in Haifa that I have found on this side of the ocean. Also a full selection of Israeli soft drinks.
