Muma Kitchen - Trying to get this last piece home to share - not sure it will make it ! - Turkish Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Upon coming here, a current customer told us this is the best Turkish food in town. She was not joking! I ordered a doner bowl and my friend ordered the kebab skewers entree. We absolutely loved it: the buttery flavored rice, well seasoned meat, nice salad on side that comes with and a pita bread to top it off. Although we were so full, had to try the baklava: fresh and crispy, hands down the best I've ever had due to not being so sweet. Finally someone answered my prayers about not making them too sweet. This is a sweet family restaurant and the daughter is super helpful and friendly especially with interpreting my compliments to the chef for a delicious meal. Highly recommend this place! read more

A little diner that turned out to be Turkish cuisine, family owned. Didn't know what to order, so upon the staff recommendation we had Beyti, chicken kebab, chicken wrap, and baklava. To our surprise, it was very filling and delicious. The home made chili sauce was awesome!!! The place is clean and service was great. I would give you guys a 4.8 score. If you are ever in the area, I highly recommend it. Also there is parking on the side... Thank you so much for a very nice lunch. read more

The first time I tried their Baklava it was so amazing I went right back and got another piece! Then a couple weeks later my friend ordered some and they were syrupy and very little pistachio filling. I went back a week later and had the same experience. read more

Delicious authentic food. Can't wait to go back. Friendly services and great prices. Make sure to stop by when in Westwood.

The baklava here is absolutely delicious -- definitely a must-try! The Iskender kebab was also very tasty and flavorful. This place seems to be family-run, so don't expect formal customer service, but the food speaks for itself. If you try their baklava, I'm pretty sure you'll become a regular! read more

This place was amazing! It's a cute mom and pop shop. I recommend trying their chicken wrap! It is pretty affordable id come here every other week as a college student. Ask for their house made hot sauce. I recommend trying their baklava one of the best I have ever had. read more

Came here on a late Sunday evening, surprised it was Still open despite arriving around 9:45/10pm. The waitress lead us to our seats and was very courteous. We got the the muma feast, and that thing can feed a group of 4. If you like Turkish food or Mediterranean food then this spot is for you Only downside is they served in foil tray as compared to like a large plate/platter as I recall 5years ago when I came here. The Turkish coffee came in a regular cup (not even a coffee cup but water cup with a sleeve), would recommend getting coffee cups as it keeps the heat inside and not making it difficult to hold for customer. Other than that good halal Turkish food in good part of La read more

Had dinner last night here with my cousin, The place was empty .We asked the old man who was there if they are opened and he said yes so we sat in . He was rude to us and ignorant . We made our order and respectfully left our table to another group of older clients who stepped in ( one of them was using a walking stick ) as the table next to us was full of playing cards and other tables were way far in the front section for them to walk .we didn't wanted them to stand and wait until he clears the table . The food came in -to go - paper plates and with a plastic forks inside a plastic bags ! But why? We were dining in ! Food was average ( and salty ) . Baklava looked good in the tray so I decided to try it , Very disappointing the top was hard but the bottom layers were SUPER mushy , chewy and drowned in syrup.. When I checked in I've received a Yelp voucher for a free Turkish tea but the man said they don't have tea lol ! No one has visited our table after that . We waited to then went ourselves to the cashier to pay and the man behind the counter had a problem with his system. We waited for sometime then offered him to pay in cash , he said ok but didn't had a change for our $100. My cousin went out and tried to break it with no results. Non of his neighbors wanted to help . After almost an hour .. his son finally has shown up and was able to charge our card and we left! They didn't even said any kind word to us after all , on the contrary they had a weird attitude. Going there again? Hmmm Nah the area is full of a better options ! read more

Friends in from out of town, and one was from Turkey. He suggested this place. DO NOT make my initial mistake of seeing the cracked plastic of the menu pages, the very small size of the interior, or all the empty cooler cases, and thinking you'd be better off anywhere else. Seems they mostly do take-out. The food is plentiful and very delicious!! Everything is made fresh. Started with dolmas and some hummus/pita for the table. The dolmas was wonderfully moist - not dry. Hummus was excellent. I then had the lamb skewer - served on a bed of rice with a nice little side salad. All in a plastic to-go container. I'm not taking off points for any lack of presentation - you don't even notice it once you start eating. After that, even though we were all stuffed, we had to have the baklava. We had to wait a few minutes since a new batch was being made fresh. I learned that Turkish baklava generally used pistachios and had a sweet syrup (sugar water?) drizzled all over it, while the Greek version often used walnuts and was made with honey. This was definitely Turkish - perfectly flakey crust, warm from the oven, sweet and gooey. And a huge piece for each of us! The husband and wife running the place could not be more kind. They obviously love what they do. And my Turkish friend had a great time speaking to the husband in their native language. Ignore the divey atmosphere - this is perfect for foodies! read more

Since I eat this food at home, I don't eat Mediterranean food from restaurants very often. As a result, a restaurant has to look pretty good in order for me to try it. Muma Kitchen definitely had that appeal, so I chose to meet a friend here for dinner. They have a little parking lot in the back with spots specifically for their customers, so parking was very easy. I ordered at the table they set up by the door and then had a seat outside. Our food came out pretty soon after. I went with the Veggie Plate since I wasn't feeling super hungry. Everything on it was delicious. My favorite part was definitely the eggplant dip. The woman working was so friendly and came to check on us very often. I will definitely be back! read more

Muma Kitchen - Turkish Near Me - Los Angeles, California

4.5 stars rounded up to 5 stars. Appeared to be a family-run business. The kind of no-frills, marvelously modest mom-and-pop environment that I thought I'd never find in bougie West LA. There were some things lost in translation, but our group nonetheless found the service to be friendly and enjoyed a nice, non-rushed meal. I've had a lot of great falafel, and the falafel here was tender on the inside, nicely sized and crisp on the outside; not oily at all, flavorful though perhaps not as herbaceous as the best I've tried. The underdog standout was the rice. It was not an afterthought, but the texture was perfectly tender without being mushy. Food comes in takeout containers which makes leftovers easier, but it would be nice to know if they would allow diners to bring their own reusable bowls/plates/containers whether it be for takeout or dining in. read more

The family that runs this place is always very nice as is their food. Per the owner, he has the best baklava in the nation. I'm no expert on this but it was good. read more

Our office had lunch catered from here and let's just say not much food was left by the end of lunch. Love the rice here and the beef/lamb meatballs were really good. The chicken was on the dry side so I'd definitely order the meatballs if I were to order for myself. I also love that they have a spicy sauce here. It mixes nicely with the hummus to add moisture and spice to the entire meal. The catering trays were also nice portions. read more

Ordered food for pick up and when given the bill, the prices were higher so the website was not maintained. Ordered a falafel bowl and the balls were dry and leathery. It was put together in front of me and the balls were grabbed with ungloved hands. The meat wrap was very good though. I was asked if I would like the bill sent to me of which I said yes, and within the 1 minute it took me to put in my email, the owner was gone and nowhere to be found or no acknowledgement or thanks for coming in. I generally don't write reviews, but I was disappointed with the experience. read more

I love their grilled kabob, their rice is so yummy, and they're such nice people themselves. They're so relaxed and grill really good. Their marination is perfect for my taste. I like Persian Kabobs, and when I want to try something similar I order from them, and they never disappoint. Inside is also good, but I mostly eat at home so I pick up, but they do deserve 5 stars. Saw the momom today, what a sweet lady! read more

Great place very clean place and very cozy. The food is Devine yep that's the word. It's Absolutely delicious, 10 minutes it's tender and cooked perfectly to kebab is delicious I ordered the Zumba feast.

For sure going back and worth the drive and prices are great read more

I consider myself a kind and generous yelper, but I have to be honest and admit that I wasn't feeling this meal at all. And I was pretty hungry by time the meal was delivered so to be underwhelmed in a vicious state of hunger really says something coming from me. Anyways I ordered delivery via Grubhub so I can't comment about the service or condition of the restaurant itself. All of my feedback is based purely on the meal itself. I ordered the salmon kabob plate and the hummus. The salad was lightly dressed in an oil based something or other and wasn't bad but was definitely soggy. If I'd known they dressed the salad before serving it, I would have specified to leave the dressing on the side. The greens lost any crispness they may have had. Once the salad was cleared from the plate, I dug into the salmon. Again- not bad but not quite enjoyable. It was border-lining on dry and was under seasoned for sure. To keep my salmon company, I decided to get a side of hummus. The hummus was on par with everything else so far... fine. It was underwhelming. It was runny and the seasoning used wasn't my favorite blend. But what really bugged me about the side of hummus was the ONE sorry pita that they sent with it. Like, the hummus portion was quite generous which is nice. But ONE pita?! For like 8 ounces of hummus?! Every other Mediterranean restaurant practically sends ya a Halloween pillowcase portion of the stuff. It's the equivalent of Olive Garden bread sticks. Come on! I find a lot of fault with that. Unforgivable. Finally, I'd be remiss if I didn't share the one redeeming quality this meal had to offer. The rice. It was honestly the best portion of rice I've ever had. The flavor was spot on and the addition of the beans was a nice and unexpected touch. I practically made a meal out of the rice since everything else was meh. If I could order several portions of just the rice, I would. Unfortunately though, I don't see myself making future orders or pit stops here. A side dish, no matter how good, doesn't warrant another order. read more

Amazing Food and Baklava!!!! The BEST!!! My husband and I stopped by Muma kitchen tonight. Never been there but the beautiful signage called to our attention. We ordered Chicken Kabob, hummus , lentil soup, Ezme and Baklava. OMG!!! I've never had that good Lentil soup- perfectly seasoned a hint of lemon juice. Chicken kabob didn't disappoint! Succulent and delicious! The rice and cabbage salad that came with the plate were perfect even! I loved their hummus and Ezme. Baklava!! What can I say? The BEST!!!! You must try this place! Delicious, so fresh and healthy!!! read more

Food is very tasty & affordable. Due to the pandemic, you're not allowed to go inside & eat, but you can eat outside. Food is halal. Iskender Kebab tastes somewhat like spaghetti and meatballs, just spaghetti replaced with pita bread (i believe). The beef is cut up doner-style instead of a ball. They include rice, a few slices of yellow peppers (I think it's banana peppers)&yogurt Beyti kebab plate is ground beef stuffed in I believe a bread. Pretty tasty. A bit sour, but it's flavorful. Chicken kebab was awesome. Includes a half plate of rice, pita bread, yogurt-like sauce, and hot sauce. Chicken was amazing. Tender, juicy, and very flavorful. Food prices are great & you definitely get what you pay for. The owner is great and very kind!! read more

Omg I cannot say enough great things about Muma Kitchen!!! I needed late night catering for an event but it was a difficult order and each meal needed to be packaged individually. Esin, who couldn't be nicer, helped me out and made sure order was right. I took a lot of her time and had so many questions and she was not only patient with me but so so sweet. They did the delivery late night (10:30pm) and were on time, and so nice. Best part... the food was delicious!!!!! We had ordered the chicken plates and falafel plates for the vegans in the group. I didn't try the falafel but those who ate it kept saying how amazing it was and were fighting to take home the leftovers (I ordered too many). The falafel is gluten free too... yay! The chicken was perfectly cooked and the rice was delicious! Every person came up to me to ask where I got the food from because it was sooooo good!! You must try Muma kitchen. You won't be sorry!!! read more

Not a big fan. Tried the doner wrap , which seemed to have few pieces of frozen gyro heated up, and was mostly filled with veggies and hardly any meat. Tomato sauce was good. In terms of ambiance it was relatively empty. read more

Recently came to Muma Kitchen after a friend recommended it. The restaurant itself is very nice and clean. Dim lighting, nice décor. We did not have a reservation but were quickly seated by our server Sevil. Everything on the menu sounded more delicious than the next. While we we were deciding we were brought an appetizer of pita and tzatziki sauce (so good). For my meal I ordered the doner plate (without rice, or pita, a great keto diet option!) and my husband ordered the Iskender kabob plate. We were both very pleased with our meals. The doner meat is really flavorful and the spicy tomato sauce went with it just perfectly. Our friends ordered the Zuma Feast to share and it looked so tasty and was a nice portion. We also ordered Ayran which is an amazing yogurt drink. So tasty. Our server Sevil was so attentive and always made sure we had what we needed. We used our Yelp check-in offers for Turkish tea and it was so good!! She was very friendly about it. I can't wait to return, all star service!! Thanks Sevil and Muma Kitchen!! read more

I had given this place higher rating because the food is decent, however I have had 3 bad experiences out of the 4 times I have rated from here. - The first time in the highly of the quarantine, I had requested contactless delivery...the delivery person (I believe a family member of the owners) kept ringing my bell and scolded me for not opening the door. - Second time, it was for food pick up...it was 30 mins late after the pick up time, it took a total on and hour plus to make a falafel sandwich. - Third time today...they accepted my order and an hour and a half later I was informed that they have no delivery person! Why accept the order? I like supporting small businesses but this is a little ridiculous. read more

It's a mixed bag at this restaurant. The service is excellent--the server was the nicest guy--very accommodating, pleasant. The prices for the Chicken Kabob Dinner at 10.00 is reasonable. The rice is the best you will ever have. I don't know what they put in it! But the main dish--the Chicken was not very good. It had a bad smell and bad aftertaste. Not a I'm going to get sick taste, but not a consistency and flavor and taste that I want to repeat. The salad is iceberg and OK, but not the best--I prefer better greens. The owners were there--they are old and the man sits and reads, the wife gets up periodically and helps. Both don't look at you or say hello--it may be regional, but I don't like it. If the chicken was better I would come back, but I have had better Chicken Kabob elsewhere. At the table next to us, was a group of guys eating fish. So I asked the waiter if that is a special--I don't see it on the menu. He says it's not on the menu, they speak the language, it's a traditional dinner and they called in a couple of days ago and ordered it. We can't do it for everyone because it takes a lot of time to cook the fish. They seemed to be enjoying their meal. read more

Muma Kitchen (their sign was missing the z ) was actually pretty nice! It has a section that looks like a chipotle when you walk in, but you can sit down and eat. so don't let it deceive you. Food + I ordered the Adana kebab here, which was pretty good and I liked the way the meat was spiced. and we also got a veggie platter which was decent if you want to sample all their sides. the tea is also good! - It is a bit on the pricier side here being in Westwood, and the yogurt drink was just that. with extra salt. baklava was pretty standard here too. Atmosphere + It's a nice place to sit and eat, the seats are all cushioned and they got some interesting signs that say zuma kitchen in there that make it novel to other places. - It was pretty quiet when we got in there, not sure if it was an off night or if everyone orders to go. Service + Waitress was nice and friendly and took our orders. - A bit of the items were sold out so ordering and getting told it wasn't there was a little sad. Thoughts: It was a decent place and i wouldn't mind coming back to try some of their other dishes when I'm a little richer. read more

Very friendly service and family oriented Turkish restaurant. Ambiance is not to the par but food and dessert are good. I recommend it.

Writing this review is very frustrating because there was so many goods to this dinner. UGH! So the food is great. I for the Kofte Plate ($13 including tax and tip), which came with 5 sausage patties, rice (with garbanzo beans), salad, chili and tzatziki sauce. I devoured the entire plate. The patties were full of flavor, moist, and have a bite to it. Not sure how to explain the flavor but it was full of spice and extremely tasty. The rice was great as well. Perfectly cooked with flavorings from the garbanzo beans and mixed in oil. The food was probably one of the best Mediterranean food I've ever had. So the reason for the 3 star rating was the service. We were seated and we ordered shortly after but started waiting for 25 minutes for our food before we decided to rush the server. It seemed that our order had totally been lost. OK, it happens, that's fine. I wouldn't fault them for that but what made us so perturbed was that other people that had come way after us and had ordered way after us got their food before us!! What kind of system is this? Shouldn't our order been bumped up since we technically ordered first? So after waiting 50 minutes, we finally got our food. I don't agree with the system and I feel Zuma also suffers from a huge number of take out orders. The food makes up the horrendous service but I might just call in my order next time. Another tip is to not sit near the windows near the front due to the dust pouring in from the streets and making the plates pretty filthy. Choose a table inside! Finally, Check-in offer available for Turkish Tea but it's pretty much black tea... Long story short, come for the food but don't expect great service. read more

Tasty food! But bad service. I am always looking for new Mediterranean restaurants because you can never have too many choices. The meat here is amazing, so compliments to the chef! But the service is just plain bad. The tasty food: Doner: 4/5, this combination of beef and lamb is so tender and so tasty. It was cooked perfectly and all the amazing Mediterranean flavors were there. It was the melt in your mouth, right off the bone kind of meat. Great dish! Chicken Kebab: 5/5, upon reading other reviews I knew I had to order the chicken kebab. It was the best chicken I have ever had. I can't even begin to describe how amazing the chicken was. It was tender, and tasty, and cooked to literal perfection. Phenomenal! Rice: 3/5, I personally was not a fan of the addition of chick peas to the rice. I prefer the traditional Mediterranean rice, but the rice wasn't terrible. Service: 2/5, we ordered cacik (tzatziki) as an appetizer. After waiting an incredibly long time for this appetizer to come, we found hair in it! So we called our server back and told him about it. To which he replied, "hair? No I already checked for hair." Um, alright, but we still found hair in it. Finally he said, "ok. I'll be back." He took the dish and never returned with a new one. Tzatziki is by far one of my favorite Mediterranean dishes, and I never got to try it at this new restaurant. Then when we got the check, he had charged us for it! When we asked why he charged us, he replied, "oh you never got another one?" No, we did not receive another one, or even an apology for that matter. There is so much miscommunication between the kitchen and the staff. Bad service! read more

Terrible customer service! I don't understand this "restaurant" -- dirty tables, no napkins, no toilet paper, subpar kid-size plastic utensils...no follow-up with customers! Very bad/grumpy/aggressive attitude! No acceptable customer service etiquette whatsoever! Even worse, the old lady behind the counter does not know how to cook! Their meat tastes like plastic, salad is horrible/never fresh; appetizers are not made daily/not fresh/very cold as if they store them overnights to sell to customers, instead of being thrown out as required by the Health Department safety standards; tea (if they bring it to you) is disgusting! Do not waste your money here! read more
