Muma Kitchen

Upon coming here, a current customer told us this is the best Turkish food in town. She was not joking! I ordered a doner bowl and my friend ordered the kebab skewers entree. We absolutely loved it: the buttery flavored rice, well seasoned meat, nice salad on side that comes with and a pita bread to top it off. Although we were so full, had to try the baklava: fresh and crispy, hands down the best I've ever had due to not being so sweet. Finally someone answered my prayers about not making them too sweet. This is a sweet family restaurant and the daughter is super helpful and friendly especially with interpreting my compliments to the chef for a delicious meal. Highly recommend this place!

I love their grilled kabob, their rice is so yummy, and they're such nice people themselves. They're so relaxed and grill really good. Their marination is perfect for my taste. I like Persian Kabobs, and when I want to try something similar I order from them, and they never disappoint. Inside is also good, but I mostly eat at home so I pick up, but they do deserve 5 stars. Saw the momom today, what a sweet lady!

Friends in from out of town, and one was from Turkey. He suggested this place. DO NOT make my initial mistake of seeing the cracked plastic of the menu pages, the very small size of the interior, or all the empty cooler cases, and thinking you'd be better off anywhere else. Seems they mostly do take-out. The food is plentiful and very delicious!! Everything is made fresh. Started with dolmas and some hummus/pita for the table. The dolmas was wonderfully moist - not dry. Hummus was excellent. I then had the lamb skewer - served on a bed of rice with a nice little side salad. All in a plastic to-go container. I'm not taking off points for any lack of presentation - you don't even notice it once you start eating.After that, even though we were all stuffed, we had to have the baklava. We had to wait a few minutes since a new batch was being made fresh. I learned that Turkish baklava generally used pistachios and had a sweet syrup (sugar water?) drizzled all over it, while the Greek version often used walnuts and was made with honey. This was definitely Turkish - perfectly flakey crust, warm from the oven, sweet and gooey. And a huge piece for each of us!The husband and wife running the place could not be more kind. They obviously love what they do. And my Turkish friend had a great time speaking to the husband in their native language.Ignore the divey atmosphere - this is perfect for foodies!

4.5 stars rounded up to 5 stars. Appeared to be a family-run business. The kind of no-frills, marvelously modest mom-and-pop environment that I thought I'd never find in bougie West LA.There were some things lost in translation, but our group nonetheless found the service to be friendly and enjoyed a nice, non-rushed meal. I've had a lot of great falafel, and the falafel here was tender on the inside, nicely sized and crisp on the outside; not oily at all, flavorful though perhaps not as herbaceous as the best I've tried. The underdog standout was the rice. It was not an afterthought, but the texture was perfectly tender without being mushy.Food comes in takeout containers which makes leftovers easier, but it would be nice to know if they would allow diners to bring their own reusable bowls/plates/containers whether it be for takeout or dining in.

The Best food, a super tasty variety and the service is amazing! Super clean and nice staff everyone is friendly I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys quality.

Came here on a late Sunday evening, surprised it was Still open despite arriving around 9:45/10pm.The waitress lead us to our seats and was very courteous. We got the the muma feast, and that thing can feed a group of 4. If you like Turkish food or Mediterranean food then this spot is for youOnly downside is they served in foil tray as compared to like a large plate/platter as I recall 5years ago when I came here. The Turkish coffee came in a regular cup (not even a coffee cup but water cup with a sleeve), would recommend getting coffee cups as it keeps the heat inside and not making it difficult to hold for customer.Other than that good halal Turkish food in good part of La

Had dinner last night here with my cousin, The place was empty .We asked the old man who was there if they are opened and he said yes so we sat in . He was rude to us and ignorant . We made our order and respectfully left our table to another group of older clients who stepped in ( one of them was using a walking stick ) as the table next to us was full of playing cards and other tables were way far in the front section for them to walk .we didn't wanted them to stand and wait until he clears the table .The food came in -to go - paper plates and with a plastic forks inside a plastic bags ! But why? We were dining in !Food was average ( and salty ) . Baklava looked good in the tray so I decided to try it , Very disappointing the top was hard but the bottom layers were SUPER mushy , chewy and drowned in syrup..When I checked in I've received a Yelp voucher for a free Turkish tea but the man said they don't have tea lol !No one has visited our table after that . We waited to then went ourselves to the cashier to pay and the man behind the counter had a problem with his system. We waited for sometime then offered him to pay in cash , he said ok but didn't had a change for our $100. My cousin went out and tried to break it with no results. Non of his neighbors wanted to help . After almost an hour .. his son finally has shown up and was able to charge our card and we left! They didn't even said any kind word to us after all , on the contrary they had a weird attitude.Going there again? Hmmm Nah the area is full of a better options !

Ordered food from them for delivery. It was never delivered. I called and the woman I spoke with was very RUDE!

Our office had lunch catered from here and let's just say not much food was left by the end of lunch.Love the rice here and the beef/lamb meatballs were really good. The chicken was on the dry side so I'd definitely order the meatballs if I were to order for myself. I also love that they have a spicy sauce here. It mixes nicely with the hummus to add moisture and spice to the entire meal.The catering trays were also nice portions.

Food is absolutely gorgeous! and cooked by its owners who are friendly and nice. The service was excellent, place is comfortable and extremely clean.Once you go once you will become a regular
