Mama's Vegetarian Falafel

This Center City West fixture runs on an entirely kosher and vegan menu, turning out generous platters and pitas packed with piping-hot falafel that stays soft and seasoned inside. The routine centers on customization: diners round out each order with hummus, tahini, cabbage, hot sauces, and pickles from the condiment station. Space indoors is compact, with very limited seating that keeps the room brisk, unpretentious, and geared toward a quick bite.
