Beef Shawarma Plate with salad and hummus, and fresh baked pita to dip into that hummus!
Chicken, garlic and pickles make for a perfect wrap
a bowl of salad
All the food we ordered. Garlic Chicken Wrap and Beef Shawarma Plate with Tabouli salad
Plenty of steak in the beef shawarma plate, plus a stack of healthy veggies and some delicious hummus
Funny sign, but most of this food is really healthy. I probably did eat too much because it was so good

I picked up Mama's Bakery & Deli for dinner and it did not disappoint. Portion here are large and the food is fresh. They have a small ordering window and an area to eat at outside. We got two chicken shwarma plates and the lebni and zaatar appetizer. I did an online order and my food was ready in about 20 minutes. The portions here are pretty big and I really liked how each plate came with a salad hummus, rice, and the protein. The chicken was very juicy and paired well with the rice.The bread for the appetizer we got was very fresh and soft! I really liked the lebni that was served and would get both of these dishes again.The shop itself is small and parking can be limited. It's definitely a hole in the wall and reasonably priced.

An amazing little find tucked away off the main drag on El Cajon Blvd. The food is excellent and surprisingly they make the best tasting healthy Shwarma wrap i've ever tasted. Their labneh was delicious too and the Manakeesh is also really tasty. Everything is wrapped up nicely in fresh baked flatbread that's absolutely delicious. There's alot there that's familiar if you're a fan of middle eastern food, and even more that's not and worth exploring. And above all else the price is great for the food you're getting. It's just a great little mom and pop store that's small and cheerful with good people working there. (but might not be little for too long as they're preparing to move). Definitely worth a visit.

Longtime customer of Mama's Bakery. Delicious food made to order with great menu options. Chicken Shawarma plate or wrap and the cheese pie are a must try! Plenty of outdoor seating. I recommend calling in your order if you plan on picking up.

This literal mom and pop is off the beaten path. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. Healthy too! Large portions. There was a sign out front that said they would be moving soon. I'm sure wherever they are going will be great, but this location was very charming. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. I look forward to returning soon.

Very delicious food made-to-order.Hangry today, I ordered the pie made with meat, spinach and cheese. The item was highly recommended by my neighbor, and she's right!A handmade dough envelopes a generous portion of gooey mild cheese, spinach and spiced ground beef. The portion is quite large so I tossed a green salad and munched 1/2, alternating the pickled veggies. I would order this again if very hungry like today!My go-to here at Mama's is the vegetarian plate. For dietary reasons, I can't eat the baba ghanouj, and the proprietor substitutes the item for another.The hummus is creamy and tasty.The falafel is fried crispy, and when broken open, the aroma of spiced, cracked wheat escapes.The dolma, grape leaves stuffed with rice and seasonings are a treat! I like to add a squeeze of lemon and a yogurt dip.The tabouli is fresh goodness.The warm pita bread completely rounds out the vegetarian plate. For a small, busy cafe, the service is attentive and quick.Outdoor patio seating, pick-up and delivery only. No off-street parking. There are free, street parking spots within a block or two.

Mamma's is just awesome. They have been the local Lebanese favorite around here for years - even through the pandemic. Great outdoor seating - so bring your furry friends. Food is amazing!! I don't know how they do it, but chunks of chicken with a slightly crispy outside, and it just falls apart into strands as soon as you touch it. Falafel is a must and sandwich wraps the size of a fat baby's arm. The pitas are huge and look homemade? Salads are just loaded. And extremely reasonable considering the area. Extremely friendly staff (never a bad suggestion!) and fountain craft soda machine with some 'unique' flavors.

Ordered via DD and Mama's didn't disappoint! Large portions of perfectly prepared Mediterranean dishes. By large portions I mean huge. Im not sure if we caught the kitchen as they were closing but dang, they let us have it! Mama knows how to treat her boys right!We shared Grape Leaves, Lebanese Salad, Falafel, Meat Combo which included beef shawarma and kafta. Plus garlic paste, tahini and Half and Half which is half hummus and baba ganoush. We feasted and feasted until we could feast no more. Everything we ordered was fresh, super tasty and abundant. Im still thinking about Mama's kafta, wrapped in a warm pillow pita, slathered with garlic sauce and a few drops of hot sauce. The perfect bite. Im looking forward to a time where we can visit Mama's and enjoy their service and hospitality. Even with delivery we felt like welcomed guests.

Friendly folk at the counter took our order, chatted sweetly about all things Lebanese Food and the homeland of Dearborn, MI.Garlic sauce is potato based, a bit rare as most opt for olive oil and elephant garlic only.Tasty. Nice. Has a good beat.Nice change regardless.Chicken Shawarma and Lebanese Salad two drinks and aSide of pickled vegetables
