Too delicious that my kids made comments like “this is my new favourite restaurant”, “this is the best thing I’ve ever eaten” and my personal favourite insult “this is better than your food”. Listen I’m also delighted at the food and service, but honestly as a gourmet cook, I’m a little insulted that my kids like Yiddishe Mame’s food better than mine. 6⭐️ well definitely be back.

My Ima and I loved sharing dinner here. Cozy and calm atmosphere, wholesome kosher food, friendly affable service. The Tabaka, matza ball soup, and borscht were all very delectable.

A very beautiful little place. The food is a mixture of Jewish Eastern European, Russian, Romanian and Georgian.
The mititei are really very close to the best Romanian ones.
The service is exceptional and the price is fair.
