Mama’s Place

Absolutely underrated hole-​in-​the-​wall gem! Their sandwiches were something to die for, esp the beef sandwich. I also loved the falafel and hummus wrap and cleopatra. Excellent flavors and very accessible. Worth trying if you are like me, living in a food desert such as Longwood, or tired of having au bon pain all the time at the hospital. They do deliver!

pretty good delivery. the pita for their gyro was AWESOME and so was the tzatziki sauce. The chicken was fine and the curly fries were great too. Just a little overpriced for me with all the add-​on fees but I’ll probably be back for pick-​up.

This place is my savior! i usually go for the beef gyro and the delicious fries! very friendly staff, the owner, nick and the rest!

I’ve ordered delivery and take-​out from this place multiple times. The food is always good, the prices are reasonable, and the menu offers lots of good options.

I work at the hospital and I absolutely loved this place. we all order quite often. I’ve never had an issue until now. I placed the order in grub hub and it said it would be there in an hour.fine. About 2 minutes after placing the order I received a call from Brookline but I couldn’t answer because I had a patient. I called them back to make sure there wasn’t in issue in my order (didn’t have an item, didn’t know the floor, etc), I could care less about the time. I very politely explained I was just RETURNING the call and whoever answered immediately flew into a frenzy, «it’ll get there, were really busy and I’m not going to argue with you. we would call you, don’t worry about it. Bye.» Ooookay, woah. Who’s arguing? We work with human beings, we are busy and frustrated too. get over yourself. Completely turned off, plenty of other good restaurants in the area who won’t add to my frustrations of the day.

I love this place! The gyros are huge and soooo good. The greek salad is also really good and so is the spanakopita. Delivery is super quick and the driver is always really friendly. Good prices, great food!

Been ordering from here pretty often for the last two year. The burgers are big and tasty and the fries are a great.

The cashier was very rude. I asked for well done steak in gyro and he said, «okay. But I don’t wanna hear it if its burnt» and when I finally got my sandwich the steak was all nerve endings and I had to take it all out.
The avgolemono soup was okay but all the rice and chicken was at the bottom.
Definitely not a spot worth more than 2 stars. Disappointment. And I know what Greek should taste like because I am Greek.

I hate writing bad reviews for places, because I always think the best of service places. But we ordered food today, and it took almost 2.5 hours to arrive. Now you would think why would we keep waiting? Well because when we kept calling to check the status of our food, they kept promising us they were 10 – 15 minutes away. By the time the food finally came, we had to eat so fast in order to be where we needed to by 6:30pm. I don’t know if this same level of service is at the restaurant but this needs to be heard. Such horrible service. If you can’t make it, please tell people so they can make other arrangements.

I’ve ordered from Mama’s quite a few times within the past two years. I’ve always been satisfied with the quality of the Greek cuisine. I went to school in Athens, so I know my food well!
I’m a vegetarian, and had no problem ordering veggie gyros in Greece. I tried to order one today and was surprised at the service I received. The cashier taking my order was snappy, rude, and not helpful at all. He refused to adjust the price of a gyro with no meat. Frustrated and very hungry, I asked him to just give me a veggie gyro with potatoes for the regular price. He seemed confused. If you’re a cashier for a Greek restaurant, I expect you to know your Greek cuisine. At least the common dishes!
I placed my order anyway. I was THAT hungry, but this will surely be the last time Mama’s gets my business
Update: the delivery driver wouldn’t even deliver to my apartment door. The whole point of me ordering in was so I didn’t have to go out (home sick today). Just a total inconvenience. Never ordering from here again.

Definitely my favourite burger place ever! Their burgers are phenomenal — my 3 favourites are the Daddy’s Double, The BBQ, and the Zorro. The burgers are a little small in my opinion but it’s worth every bite.

Got a burger and curly fried. Burger was good. Fresh vegetables and a soft bun. Not stale at all. Burger tasted good. It’s a great lunch burger for $ 5 or so. Also got some of their soda. Raspberry Lime was good. Fine bubbles. Def wanna try their falafel and gyro next.

I’ve eaten here several times. Consistently great food every time! I always get a wrap (either the falafel or cleopatra) and side greek salad. I’ve also heard that the gyros, burgers, and curly fries are good too.
The food tastes fresh and is done quickly. Definitely a staple restaurant of mine when I’m too lazy to cook but want food that is delicious, filling, and affordable!

Was really in the mood for some falafel so ordered from here. The falafel was pretty good, ate only half for dinner so I’m set for lunch tomo.
The chocolate cake was so so but enough to satisfy my sweet tooth.
Along with that I ordered the lentil soup, have ordered that before and it’s pretty good too.
I requested the order to be delivered at 725pm via Eat24, but the guy showed up at 7pm. Don’t know whose fault that was but lucky I was home to receive it. This review would have gone in the other direction had I ordered while I was out just so it reaches when I reach home.

I absolutely cannot get enough of this place. They are SO fast when it comes to delivery — for example, I ordered through Foodler last night at 7:55pm and they were at my door by 8:09pm. How is that even humanly possible?! Never had to wait more than 30 minutes for delivery, even at their busiest times.
Food is always delicious and they label items that have special requests. Gyro, Kebab Plate, Fries, Grape Leaves, Milk Shakes — all top notch. Not too expensive and always extremely personable and professional. Never had a problem with Mama’s Place and will keep coming back here again and again.

Great local eatery serving delicious middle eastern fare. Staff all very friendly and helpful. Over whelmed by the selection the fellow behind the counter suggested the Cleopatra wrap which has Hummus, tabouli, falafel, tahini sauce, cucumbers and tomatoes. Huge I could only eat half, but was happy to enjoy the other half later in the day. I was lucky enough to grab a seat by the window counter during the busy lunch time. You gotta love places like this that serve good food at reasonable prices with cool staff.

had the souvlaki and the kebab plates before. the wraps are delicious – but, goodness, are they oily. looking at the saturated baking sheet wrappers, i definitely think the oil overkill. the rice pilaf is a bit superfluous, but if you enjoying having two scoops of rice fill in any lingering corners of your tummy, the plate may be a good choice.
its good food, just not something i’d go eat in good healthy conscious more than once a month.

Mama’s Place is exactly what the name implies — comfort food that will satisfy everyone and anyone. Located right off of Huntington Ave in Mission Hill, this place has the perfect location for the young population that resides in the area and their sometimes desperate need for greasy, delicious food.
Their menu is extensive for being such a small joint, and their prices are affordable which make eating here financially guiltless. My two favorite items off the menu are the Gyro Burger and the Spicy Curly Fries. The fries are always crispy and never too oily, and they are packed with incredible flavor. As for the Gyro Burger — oh my goodness gracious. This burger is absolutely heavenly. It’s the perfect combination of two Greek and American staples. Just imagine a love child between a gyro and a burger, and that’s exactly what this is.
If you live in the area, visiting the area, or simply looking for some deliciously affordable food, Mama’s Place is THE place to go.

We ordered take out for a late night session of testing. The food was delivered quickly and was still hot when it arrived.
I ended up getting the avgolemono soup (lemon chicken and rice) and the California chicken salad. The soup was great and really creamy with the egg added. The flavor of lemon was very light, very good chicken to rice ratio as well. The salad was OK — all of the lettuce was iceberg and the guacamole wasn’t homemade. I wasn’t expecting much seeing that is more a pizza/​Greek place for food. The chicken on the salad was excellent and I loved the extra kick of the BBQ sauce.
Others got Gyro wraps as well as sandwiches, all was good!
Parking on Huntington ave is awful so make sure you get delivery or pray for a spot to open if you are doing pick up!

Mama’s Place is definitely a go-​to when you are sick of eating the typical American food, Chinese food, and Indian food. I looked them up on Unilocal and saw that people rave about their beef kebab plate. I was not disappointed! I highly recommend it. I’ve also had other items, such as fried mac&cheese and fish&chips. So yummy! I definitely recommend their fried mac&cheese.
The staff is also really friendly and attentive! They make you feel at home. I still have yet to try other items on their menu, but I’m sure they are all amazing.
It’s a really small restaurant, located on the corner of Wait St. and Huntington Ave. It’s pretty hard to find parking, so I suggest taking the T (you get off at Brigham or Fenwood Road) if you want to sit down and eat. Otherwise they do take out as well! I’ve done delivery as well and I experienced nothing bad so far. They will also give you free dessert occasionally!
