The pita itself was great, with a nice crunch balanced by pillowy softness. I added fried potato and a few toppings, which elevated the overall taste. You can pretty much customize the pita to your liking with all the toppings available. Definitely recommend it, along with the sauces, especially the avocado one. The staff were very kind and patient, and service was quick, my food was ready in 5 minutes. The place has a casual vibe with nice decor, and there's parking right outside in the plaza.

Every interaction went something like this: Me: "Hey, can I get..." Him: silent stare... Grabs the item... drops it on the table like he's serving a prison sentence... walks away without saying a word. I honestly started wondering if the restaurant has a competition for "Least Friendly Waiter of the Month." At one point I even came up with a conspiracy theory: maybe the owner keeps all the tips, so the staff intentionally gives terrible service to make sure customers leave $0. If that's actually the strategy... genius. If not... I have absolutely no explanation. Food: Great meats, excellent Baba Ghanouj, disappointing rice. Service: 0/10.

I've been coming to this restaurant for over ten years. It used to be my absolute favorite spot, and I would eat here at least once a week. Since the new ownership took over, it just hasn't been the same. I've gone twice now, and both times were disappointing. The food doesn't taste like it used to. Even the garlic sauce tastes completely different, which is sad because it used to be amazing. On one visit, I ordered a beef shawarma and a chicken shawarma. Instead, I was given a beef kebab and a chicken kebab. Of course, I failed to check my order before walking out. So, that's totally on me. But anyway, the quality overall just isn't there anymore. I'm really sad to see how much it has changed. This place used to be a staple for me, and it feels like the new owners are missing the mark. Just a heads-up for other longtime customers that it's clearly under new ownership and the experience is not what it used to be. I truly hope they bring back the original quality. But they already lost me. read more

I had the shrimp kabob at Mama's Kabob, and it was absolutely delicious! The shrimp was cooked perfectly, seasoned so well, and tasted really fresh. The portion was generous, and everything on the plate complemented each other perfectly. What really stood out, though, was the customer service. Everyone was so kind, welcoming, and genuinely friendly from the moment I walked in. They made me feel appreciated as a customer and were happy to answer my questions with a smile. It's not often you come across service that makes you want to come back just as much as the food does. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'll definitely be back. Highly recommend Mama's Kabob if you're looking for delicious food and amazing people! read more

Family owned and operated. As soon as you walk in, they greet you warmly and the smiling just doesn't stop. They serve Arabic food that they cook very well, mildly spiced and delicious. Mama (mom in Arabic) takes your order and Baba (Dad in Arabic) hooks it up. I would recommend the combo plate because it has the meat, the chicken, the rice and hummus. If you have time, have seat and enjoy their company, otherwise enjoy it anywhere else it will taste good anywhere. Shukrun! read more
