Review: Their pitas are soft and fresh, and the prices are reasonable. Nothing really amazing here - just basic hummus, falafel, pitas, etc. For a restaurant with the word "vegetarian" in the title, the staff is surprisingly ignorant of veganism. My friend and I kept asking about ingredients in some of the less obvious menu items, and the staff didn't know anything about it. You'd think that a veg restaurant would make what is vegan and what is not more clear than that. Still, aside from not knowing anything, the staff was perfectly pleasant.
 
Pros: decent food * good prices *
Cons: not vegan friendly * *

Review: I had a Spinach Boreka and then had to try the Mushroom Boreka. They were quite good. They have a short menu, but the place jammed full on this Thursday at noon. The line moved at a fair pace. I believe this might be Turkish food.
 
Pros: Inexpensive * Dine-in & sidewalk seats *
Cons: Short, but tasty menu * Needs food descriptions *

Review: My sis and I came here for lunch on a hot summer day. I was surely NOT dissapointed with my falafel, but I wouldn't go out of mmy way to get another when there is far more vegetarian fare.
 
Pros: filling * not bad falafel *
Cons: busy(longish wait) * *

Review: This place is simply wonderful! I had my best falafal ever there... It is not far from the Ritz movie theater, perfect for picking up a sandwich and going to catch a flick! Yum!

Review: i've had all of the falafel in the city and i like mama's the best. they make their own pitas, the falafel is hot and consistently good. not dry like some other falafel places. in addition to the 20th street location (mama's vegetarian) the son's have opened their own joint at 6th and south (mama's grill - not 100% vegetarian as they have shwarma on the menu.) last i checked a small falafel was $3.50 and a large was $5.
 
Pros: excellent falafel * inexpensive * two locations
Cons: small dining room * *
