Mama Vegetarian- Falafel and Grape Leaves


I have been meaning to try Mama Vegetarian for a while and had high expectation. I heard great things about the falafel on yelp and also from my coworker. On one lovely afternoon, I decided to get Mama Vegetarian for lunch. I ordered some rice wrapped in grape leaves and a falafel sandwich.

The falafel sandwich was a good size. Inside the pita were falafel balls, hummus, tomato, and shredded cabbage. The hummus was creamy, fresh, and tasty but I was not pleasantly pleased with the falafels themselves. As I was eating the sandwich, I started to taste bitterness.  I think the falafels had been slightly burnt; hence resulting into bitterness. Not sure, if I went on the wrong day when the falafels were not at its best. The bitterness ruined the experience for me.

The rice wrapped in grape leaves on the other hand were refreshing and delicious. It was somewhat tangy and flavorful. The rice was mushy and the grape leaves were soft. I couldn’t stop eating them.  I would totally recommend Mama Vegetarian grape leaves to anyone who enjoys slightly sour tasting foods and who want something light and appetizing.
