I have to admit, Mama's Place was extremely good. Best service, clean, and beautiful atmosphere. The menu is really amazing, many fantastic choices, I had to go with Chicken Gyros, and it was amazing. And also, the service was excellent and the staff was very friendly. Glad to see a place like that in this area. read more

It's hard to give more than 3 stars because of the quality of the food. However, I go to Mama's Place quite often because sometimes I'm just needing something quick and cheap. The entree that has been the most tasty so far has been the chicken gyro- very cheap, very filling and quick if you're on the go. Also, the staff is incredibly friendly. read more

Although I felt it was pricey ($13 and some change) for a burger basket and a can of soda. The burger was great and the fries were pretty good too. But unfortunately I can get the same quality at some other great places around town for a few dollars cheaper. But it was a great burger! read more

I really wanted to try this spot but I just walked in and had to leave immediately because no one working there was wearing a mask. I would never leave a poor review during the pandemic because of something going wrong with an order, but refusal to abide by the most basic, easy safety precautions is something people need to be aware of. read more

Great little Greek restaurant! Had the hummus falafel wrap which was delicious. Huge portion too. The side of fries was also good.

Wanted some souvlaki and found this place on Yelp. Never heard of Mamas Place before even though close by. Tried chicken gyro basket and it was delish! Tender, generous amount of chicken (shared it and half was enough). Tasty sauce (though a little thicker than expected). Fries were crisp and tasty. Maybe coated to make them extra crisp? Would def order again! read more

I always get a chicken kabob plate when I go here. Their rice used to be the best rice I've ever had but it's not the same anymore.

Worst Ever. I went around 9:30pm after work. I ordered a cheeseburger and french-fries. There were two very thin burgers tasteless burgers with no cheese. There was more bun then meat. The french-fries taste like fish oil. I will never go there again. What a waste of money. L. J read more

The Gyro was not real Gyro. They use frozen processed Gyro strips. They should be ashamed calling themselves a Greek Gyro serving restaurant. No we're near what a real Gyro should be. I would not ever recommend this restaurant for Authentic Gyro Sandwiches. read more

Worst food I ever ate I will never order from this again... Steal didn't even taste like steak the rice was horrible maybe I got Abad day.. But I cled back n the guy was rude lucky I didn't walk up the street and slap him in the mouth.. But I thought about it and left it alone read more

The best in the area. You can't touch this. My first taste is when my school got catering for one of the club: first of all the pita + tzatziki sauce is so good (always need to get that or else), spanikota pie is always consistently delicious, fresh salad + good dressing, delicious pasta When I'm sick of waiting for the next club meeting for their free food, I go there myself to eat ~ because good food is worth the money ~ Thank goodness they're also quite cheap. I love the patata wrap (potato) with the sauce and the soft potato, really filling and could be make into 2 meals! Chicken kabob plate is really on point, like I said that sauce make everything amazing.. They also have wing dings, really good buffalo sauce for dipping and CHEAP!!! I tried their strawberry smoothies and it was fine, nothing to write home about but it fits my need. I find their desserts a little bit too sweet, but if you're into that - you'll probably like it. Overall a great place for your college wallet. ALSO you can get delivery and order online from Foodler - how convenient :) read more

Definitely try out the fries here - they were some of the tastiest fries I've had in my life. Served fresh and so crispy yet soft on the inside. read more

Attempting to get delivery from this place was a frightful experience. My client was in a 3-hour meeting and wanted dinner. I put in an order through Eat24 and everything was going fine until I got the call from the delivery person. He said he had arrived and I sent my client out to find him. The building is rather complex and since it was after hours my client had to make sure that he could get into the building prior to coming out to pick up the order. I called the delivery person back when my client was outside but he said he couldn't see anyone and told me something about "coming back." After a few minutes I called him back but the call went straight to voicemail. Using a friend's phone, I called him back and he picked up to tell me that my order was at the store. Well...the reason I asked for delivery is because I can't go pick it up! I never got my food and the delivery person was very rude on the phone when I asked incredulously (I think justifiably) why my food was not being delivered. He just kept repeating that my food was at the store. I realize the location may have been confusing, but the delivery person should have stay on the line with me until the transaction has been completed. The elapsed time for the delivery was barely 5 minutes. The delivery person should have waited until my client could find him. This establishment not only let me down, but also my client. You have once chance to make a good impression and you failed. In the end, I never got my food. This is probably an unfair review considering all the other stellar ones, but I had a terrible experience and it would be worth it if the restaurant was aware of the situation if they could prevent this from happening to someone else. TL;DR Attempted to get food delivered, food never got delivered. Delivery person was rude. read more

Was really in the mood for some falafel so ordered from here. The falafel was pretty good, ate only half for dinner so I'm set for lunch tomo. The chocolate cake was so so but enough to satisfy my sweet tooth. Along with that I ordered the lentil soup, have ordered that before and it's pretty good too. I requested the order to be delivered at 725pm via Eat24, but the guy showed up at 7pm. Don't know whose fault that was but lucky I was home to receive it. This review would have gone in the other direction had I ordered while I was out just so it reaches when I reach home. read more

I've ordered from this place about half a dozen times now and everything I've ordered has been really good to great. For a delivery place in Mission Hill, that's akin to a miracle. Their onion rings are amazing; thin, crispy, salty, all the things you want in a fried onion. The gyros are equally great - the tzatziki sauce is a great compliment to the juicy meat, perfectly fluffy pita, and the crisp veg. Their salads are really tasty and come with a lot of toppings. Their rice was a miss for me - it looked and tasted like mush. My husband swears by the salmon burger, and when feeling less healthy, he's a big fan of their regular burgers, too. Delivery is always pretty fast and while the prices are just a tad higher than I sometimes feel they should be, that obviously doesn't stop me from ordering from them! Ah, convenience. read more

Chocolate shake was awesome, but I went for the wings, and they were probably some of the worst I've had in boston. the breading was moist, and i specifically asked for blue cheese, only to receive 2 packets of ken's ranch. i've heard the burgers are good but i just want to make sure no one orders the wings again. $11.50 for 12 read more

God, it's hard to give this place 2 stars because the burgers are so good! I ordered food online at about 630pm for delivery. By the time 8pm rolled around we we at Mama's Place to pick up our grub (just 2 burgers). So we waited 1 hour and 15 minutes to find out it hasn't even gone out the door yet. Rather than wait longer for the delivery guy to get back, we decided to pop in the car and go pick it up. Keep in mind we paid online so we already paid the tip to the driver as well as the delivery fee. When we got inside we asked for compensation, but they only agreed to give us 1 piece of cake. Which we didn't want, but it was a take it or leave it opportunity. Well thanks a lot Mama's. Not going back. read more

This place is basically fast greasy food. We tried a few dishes like the veg burger, eggplant parm, veg wrap. They were all just ok... They just microwave all the food we ordered in front of us, killing our appetite. It's open late. read more

I love this place! Typically, we order using GrubHub & get delivery, but I have gone in there on occasion to pick up my order. There food is always fresh & I have yet to eat something from there that left me disappointed. My favorites are the beef gyro, chicken fingers & of course, their chocolate chip cookies! There was one time they delivered spicy fries instead of my chicken fingers. They fixed the problem within 15 minutes & gave me a free cookie & a brownie bite for my troubles! read more

This place was delicious! The staff were super friendly. I ordered through Grub Hub, they no longer do delivery so that solved that problem! I'm glad I got their small fries because they were more than plenty! the bag was soaked in grease and so was the wax paper they put around it, but that actually ended up being a good thing. Less grease in my stomach! I got the falafel sandwich...I was used to the falafel balls rather than it crumbled up in the pita, but it was still super delicious with all of the fresh veggies and hummus. The hummus could have been tangier, but really balanced well with the sandwich. And the pita bread tasted very fresh like they had made it in the shop. I will certainly be back! read more

I like the burgers because they taste like what my own mother would make at home. Very comfortingly nostalgic and delicious. The onion rings are crunchy and filling, though far from the best I've had-- and I consider myself a discerning onion ring addict/conneissour. The service here was off-putting recently when one of the girl's gave me unnecessary sass when I pointed out that my burger came without tomatoes and lettuce....and I definitely didn't want a naked burger. She made it seem like an unbelievable burden to add these simple toppings to my burger. Dunno if I'll be returning soon. read more

Loves the avgolemono soup and the dolmathes. Also the Che ken souvlakia was tasty as was the rice.

Docked off a point because the service was not on point. It should actually be 3.5 stars. I work near the Prudential and that area has such limited lunch options if affordability is something I'm considering. I don't always want to spit out a lot of money if I only have time for a quick workday lunch. Work took me to the Longwood area for a little bit and I was stuck between going back towards the Pru or exploring Mission Hill. I'm lucky to have found Mama's because I found a quick place to grab a quick lunch. It does not have many tables but if you're here with one other friend or alone, it's great. They just have a set of bar stools and bar area to eat but it is also a great to go option. I ordered an 8 dollar salad and while I could get an 8 dollar salad from Sweetgreens, this one is going to last me another meal. If I'm ever looking for a lunch in the Mission Hill area, I'll be back to try out more things on the menu. read more

Heard good things about this place for so many years I've been going to school in the area. Finally tried it for the first time. Honestly everything would have been delicious if it only weren't for all the SALT. Hopefully it's only a one time thing and someone just messed up. Am I the only one this happened to? We were starving so we ordered a lot of different things. Curly fries: Weird and chewy but tasted good otherwise, good seasoning Spanikota pie: Such a letdown... I looked forward to trying this the most. My mouth was ASSAULTED by the taste of SALT. Mama's burger: Tasted good, a little bland and the burger was a little overdone and chewy Avgolemono soup: Meh. Shredded chicken breast in a lemon soup. Interesting combination but maybe it's just not really my thing. Too SALTY. Coffee milkshake: Tasted like a regular vanilla shake, was there any coffee in it? Steak and cheese sub: Not bad, pretty standard. Strawberry cheesecake: Cinnamon in the crust... was interesting. I was never a fan of cinnamon so it's not their fault. The cake itself was pretty good. The one beacon of hope... Souvlaki sandwich: The ONLY thing in our order that was delicious and faultless. Great sauce, delicious charred beef, onions and veggies tasted fresh and crisp Will try again, maybe order some different things. The huge menu is a little overwhelming but it's kind of nice to have so many choices. read more

Great local eatery serving delicious middle eastern fare. Staff all very friendly and helpful. Over whelmed by the selection the fellow behind the counter suggested the Cleopatra wrap which has Hummus, tabouli, falafel, tahini sauce, cucumbers and tomatoes. Huge I could only eat half, but was happy to enjoy the other half later in the day. I was lucky enough to grab a seat by the window counter during the busy lunch time. You gotta love places like this that serve good food at reasonable prices with cool staff. read more

I've eaten here several times. Consistently great food every time! I always get a wrap (either the falafel or cleopatra) and side greek salad. I've also heard that the gyros, burgers, and curly fries are good too. The food tastes fresh and is done quickly. Definitely a staple restaurant of mine when I'm too lazy to cook but want food that is delicious, filling, and affordable! read more

Mama's Place - Cleopatra wrap - Greek Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Hands down, best Gyro's and curly fries around. Great greek salads, loaded with goodies. Plus, don't forget dessert--they're rice pudding is glorious. Great fast, friendly service. Super clean kitchen and dining area. Dining area is small, seats about 10, so plan for takeout. read more

This place has really good gyros! FOUR starts for the gyros. It's right around the corner from me so I might be coming here a little more often. I don't think they make their own baklava but having been raised on the stuff by my HS Albanian friend, I can say they're pretty good when fresh. If you're planning to order here, it's not a bad idea to come during the peak hours since the meat is ordered more frequently, you'll get the more tender cuts of meat for your gyro. I would avoid going when no one's around since you might get stuck with the slightly dry outer parts of the rotating meat. I've only recently started enjoying these gyro treats but I like the softness of the dough and the fact that their meat is not overly salty. That's one of my pet peeves with food. I also got their spicy curly fries. Not spicy at all, but fresh, delicious and enjoyable. read more

Rating this solely on delivery from Foodler orders... The gyro wrap is _really_ good. I've never been disappointed by it. The fries/onion rings are always ridiculously greasy (to the point where the bag is COMPLETELY soaked through when it arrives at my place in JP). The dolmades and spanokopita have been pretty good, and the galaktoboureko dessert is delicious. The fried dough is also pretty good (they give you A LOT) for a dessert. Not open on Sundays, though. womp womp read more

Ordered delivery from here: American Burger, Chicken Fingers, Cheese Fries. Burger was OK, didn't seem like a half pound but oh well. The fries were extremely soggy and mushy - I had to broil them before eating. The chicken fingers were definitely standard frozen pieces. From the description I believed I'd be getting BBQ tossed chicken pieces, but instead received bottled BBQ on the side. I also requested Bleu Cheese with them, which I did not receive. Will not be ordering again. read more

I tried.. I ordered from my boyfriends house once and we got some burgers they were ok. After that I ordered from work a few times things just never seem to work out. Either they didn't have things that we wanted to order, didn't bring what we ordered, or didn't have a driver all together.. this is very stressful when you are hungry. Update we tried to order again before I posted this review because I like to be fair.. they didn't have the first three items we ordered off the menu. We finally ripped it up from our menu options, If you want to order from here I wish you luck. I have since gotten some food from mamas and it was pretty good.. they still didn't have some items but I moved them up a star because after all the aggravation the food was really good. read more

I was going to give this 4 stars till I made the regretful purchase of trying their Daddy's Double Burger. Their greek style cuisine and wraps are what almost gave this 4 stars. Great tzatziki that they put with their greek stuff. Now, I realize it doesn't take a rocket scientist to make tzatziki, but regardless it can be very easy to mess up as well. I subsitute mayo for the tzatziki in most if not all of their sandwiches and wraps and it adds great amount of flavor to them. Now, of course I haven't ordered everything on the menu, but the one time I decided to venture outside the greek style cuisine and wraps, I was extremely dissappointed. I paid $6.50 for a double burger, and what I end up getting is something along the lines of a Burger King double whopper. If you've ever had burgers that taste literally like an omlette, then you know two things: Its not 100% beef and they basically make the burgers like unseasoned meatballs (hence the omlette taste since eggs are typically essential to making meatballs). Not necessarily a bad thing, until of course you flatten a meatball into a burger AND you don't season said meatball. Also, now that I reminice about this poor experience, I realized they didn't add Lettuce and Tomato as I requested as well. So ya totally not worth trying, you want a similar style burger, go to Burger King and buy a whole double whopper meal for around the same price or less. read more

Mama's Place is exactly what the name implies - comfort food that will satisfy everyone and anyone. Located right off of Huntington Ave in Mission Hill, this place has the perfect location for the young population that resides in the area and their sometimes desperate need for greasy, delicious food. Their menu is extensive for being such a small joint, and their prices are affordable which make eating here financially guiltless. My two favorite items off the menu are the Gyro Burger and the Spicy Curly Fries. The fries are always crispy and never too oily, and they are packed with incredible flavor. As for the Gyro Burger - oh my goodness gracious. This burger is absolutely heavenly. It's the perfect combination of two Greek and American staples. Just imagine a love child between a gyro and a burger, and that's exactly what this is. If you live in the area, visiting the area, or simply looking for some deliciously affordable food, Mama's Place is THE place to go. read more

Found out from Yelp that this place has great gyros and curly fries! So I (almost) immediately marched my butt on over! Pretty small place which people have touched on already, but if you go a little later than the lunch crowd, there is no problem getting a chair at their bar. I ordered the beef gyro & spicy curly fries. The fries weren't spicy but they were delicious. The beef gyro was out of this world! And the homemade Tzatzki (I know I butchered that & my iPhone won't autocorrect it!!) is amazing as well! Everything tastes fresh! I would definitely come back to this place! Staff was friendly as well. read more

Dude. Don't get a breakfast sandwich here. Holy butter. I couldn't even eat it. Bread soaked in butter. So so so gross.

Still one of the best eateries in the LMA. Tried the eggplant wrap--it's huge and I don't know what tourlou is but it's delicious. Definitely makes for two filling meals. And they make a huge strawberry milkshake. Not a lot of seating but it usually works out that you can find a place to eat by the time your order is ready. read more

Solid lunch choice in the area (and they take LevelUp). Good value for money; the $4.50 app portion of the spanikopita is huge (think giant rectangle), and the $2.95 small soup is still a good sized portion. Food wasn't too bad. I do prefer my spanikopita to have much more feta than Mama's had, and also for it to be fresh out of the oven (theirs was made ahead of time and heated up), but their version is fine. Their avgolemono could have used a little more lemon I thought, but again, decent version if that's what you're craving (it's hard to find around here, for some reason). I'd return to try some of the other Greek items. read more

Food was good but they charged me more than it should have been so be wary. Stomach has been hurting for a few hours since then too.

Simplicity at it's finest. You walk in, stare at their menu located on a giant wall, and walk out or sit down with a great meal. This has been a favorite of mine lately. The buffalo chicken and Greek chicken salad are absolutely excellent. My boyfriend enjoys the burgers, and has recently become a fan of their kebab plate as well. The portions are ridiculously large for the price, and the price is incredibly inexpensive for a restaurant in Boston. Also have a large variety of Greek foods that I am gearing up to try out in the near future. I don't know who invented this place, but this "Mama" is doing a heck of a good job. read more

I love this place.. The best thing to order is a burger! It's a rather small place.. So not much seating, but for being a corner food place it's one of my favorites. There's this one guy who I believe owns the place (he's always there) who is so lovely. He's super nice and always comes from behind the counter to bring me my takeaway. Also, whoever works at the cashier no matter who it is, is always pleasant. (I have come to this place a lot haha) I would say they prepare the food pretty quickly, even when they're busy! You can see them working on it from the front so you always know they are working hard! I have also ordered from this place and I'm super impressed with how quickly it gets to my apartment! The people who work here are great, and their food is good! The only downside is they aren't open on Sunday, which is okay, but it sucks for me because I always tend to want food from here on a Sunday! Either way, it's a good place to stop to bring something back to eat after a long day! read more
