Mama's Vegetarian

Everything tastes good!! The only problem that I had was that we were concerned about how the sauces were made and the gentleman gave me the impression that egg may be in it but they're okay for vegans? May have just been a misunderstanding but you might want to double check. Street parking is terrible but it's worth the trip.

Posto molto carino e cibo ottimo, hummus da capogiro!!!!!

This place has the best creamiest falafel ever!!! the people there are awesome too for the volume they put out. wish they were open on saturdays so i could use their catering abilities.

The falafel here is exceptional. The pita's are soft and fresh and the whole meal is just overall delicious for a nice inexpensive price!

They have TUNA in the menu. By all conventional and biological norms, it does not count as something vegetarian. The name of the business is misleading. Also this site should change its designation from Vegetarian to Veg friendly. I like their felafel but I was disappointed when I saw TUNA on a chalk board in one of the menus. The other menu on the wall on the right does not list Tuna.

They can sell all the Tuna they want, but they should stop misleading people like me who make an extra effort of changing two trains to get a bite at an all vegetarian place.

Their wash area is too close to the food handing area. There is no barrier that will prevent water droplets from the faucet reaching the food handling area.

This place was great! Went there on recommendation of this website for a quick weekday lunch. The guys behind the counter move so quickly they're a blur! The falafel was perfectly made, the best I've had in a long time. Salads on the side of the room were various and all so tasty. Their hot sauces are Really hot.

Whole experience was very satisfying and one of the best meals we had in Philly! This place is clearly very popular at weekday lunch times (there was a steady flow of people the whole time we were eating), and with good reason.

This restaurant/deli was amazing! It is run by Israelis and is both kosher and vegatarian/vegan. My husband is neither vegan nor vegetarian NOR JEWISH but loved it! It was one of the only vegan places that made him full (and there's a lot of him). Order the falafel: it was extremely good. Great for a fast, inexpensive, and filling lunch.

I absolutely love the falafel I had at this restaurant.

The title says it all, best falafel in Philadelphia! Twice as good as Maoz I just wish they had better hours.

On my recent trip to Philadelphia I had their latke sandwich, and it was amazing! My only regret is that I shouldn't have ordered a side of fries because their sandwiches are a lot larger than they look.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
