"This Center City counter-service shop is precisely what you’d expect, and just what you need: an entirely vegetarian menu of simple pita sandwiches and gigantic eggplant, latke, hummus, and falafel platters. Our can’t miss items are the hard-boiled egg and crispy fried eggplant sabich sandwich and, of course, the not-too-dense, herby falafel. Everything is under $15 and comes with access to an AYCE pickled toppings bar, so you can get a delicious, fantastic-value, plant-based lunch or dinner for less than your daily commute." - candis mclean

"Not everyone has an hour to spare for lunch. But whether you’re looking to linger or need to eat on the run, Mama’s Falafel in Center City has a meal for you. The Israeli counter-service spot churns out loaded pita sandwiches and gigantic eggplant, latke, hummus, and falafel platters in less than 10 minutes, all customized to your taste. The falafel is airy yet crisp, the eggplant sabich has our eternal devotion, and the AYCE pickled topping station is full of all the tangy essentials. And if all of your important meetings are out of the way, upgrade to a large platter—that comes with creamy hummus—grab a seat at a table, and watch 20th Street pass you by." - candis mclean, alison kessler
"No, the original Mama’s Vegetarian isn’t back, but the same level of flavor and quality is. The Center City shop is still in the same counter-service spot on 20th Street, and the menu is precisely what you’d expect: simple pita sandwiches and gigantic eggplant, latke, hummus, and falafel platters that could easily feed two. Our go-to's are the hard-boiled egg and crispy fried eggplant sabich sandwich and, of course, the not-too-dense, herby falafel. Everything on the menu is under $ 15 and comes with access to an AYCE pickled toppings bar, so you can get a delicious, fantastic-value lunch or dinner for less than your daily commute. photo credit: NICOLE GUGLIELMO photo credit: NICOLE GUGLIELMO photo credit: NICOLE GUGLIELMO photo credit: NICOLE GUGLIELMO photo credit: NICOLE GUGLIELMO Pause Unmute" - Candis R.
