Mama Ayesha's Restaurant

I ordered Mama Ayesha’s for Iftar and to say it was one of the best meals I’ve had in DC would be an understatement. Everything was seasoned so well, I felt like I was eating a home cooked meal made my someone’s loving family. Obsessed, if you’re in the DMV for sure go here!

Amazing food and great service, owner stayed open past their midday break to serve is dessert!

Food:
The Bamiya (okra/lamb) bowl was filled with okras and exactly 3 pieces of meat. A LOT of okra and little meat. The lamb is what makes okra dish tasty!
The eggplant dish was heavy and plating was poor for the $23 they charge for it!

Service: took close to 40 minutes for food to arrive, had to wave at waiter to get water glasses refilled. Waiters overworked and under trained.

Atmosphere: they charge upscale restaurant prices but neither the atmosphere nor the food lives up to expectations and prices

I have lived in the neighborhood for a long time and finally decided to spend the evening at Mama Ayesha’s after passing it several times. We ordered several small dishes and one entree. The falafel was the best I’ve ever had in my life and everything else was great as well. Our waiter was extremely nice and the interior of the restaurant is beautiful. I will definitely be coming back!

This was a really fun, fancy place to eat! My sole complaints it that their water fountain thing made it sound like it was raining harder than it actually was outside, and it was kinda distracting. But in a way, it was also soothing.

We ordered three things, not one of which was remotely salted. Was one of the most bland meals I’ve had in memory.
