Mama Kitchen NY is a true hidden gem! From the moment I walked in, I felt like I was being welcomed into someone’s home. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the food—wow, the food is absolutely incredible. I ordered the chicken shawarma platter, and it was bursting with flavor. The meat was perfectly seasoned and tender, the hummus was creamy and rich, and the fresh pita was the perfect complement. Every bite tasted homemade, like something passed down through generations. What really stood out was the hospitality. The staff was so kind and attentive, making sure everything was just right. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers and take pride in serving authentic, high-quality food. If you're looking for delicious Mediterranean comfort food in NYC, Mama Kitchen is a must-visit. I left full, happy, and already planning my next meal there. Highly recommend!

Mama Kitchen in Queens, NY is hands down one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in the city. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with warm hospitality and the incredible aroma of spices that instantly transports you to the streets of Jerusalem or Tel Aviv. The food? Absolutely phenomenal. I tried the cauliflower shawarma on frena bread, the eggplant carpaccio, and their signature hummus plate—each dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. You can tell everything is made with love and authenticity. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, with a modern Middle Eastern vibe that makes you want to stay and savor every bite. If you're in Queens and craving top-tier kosher Middle Eastern cuisine, Mama Kitchen is a must-visit. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this place is a gem that deserves all the praise!

Potentially one of the worst experiences I’ve had
They very rude and arrogant
The food was very strange tasting, as if it was old
Shameful to charge prices like this for poor quality food
Do not recommend

First time purchasing shabat food. There are no prices on anything or anywhere and when you ask them they get impatient. Not sure why you need to ask, prices should be listed. The lady serving the food was rude and had no patience. I got some salads were which good. The rice on the stuffed onions were half uncooked. The fish balls were very smelly and tasted funny that I threw it away. To sum it up, very expensive and not worth the price..I am all down for helping small businesses in our community but this was like a rip off to me. Better off getting from muscat or grill point

The food was delicious, and the server was incredibly accommodating. The kitchen did take a pretty long time for the main, and the music was a bit loud, but overall would definitely come again. The Syriah was amazing.

I love the decor (throwback to a simpler time in Israel tho when was it ever simple?). Both the mama sabich and the Sinniya were just fantastic. Friendly and great service also.
