My first time at Mama's Kitchen was excellent! Clean with great atmosphere. Ritu was most pleasant and patient and she helped me navigate the menu through my allergy restrictions to find and a new favorite dish! The mixes Vegetables, rice and main bread. This is a Champaign-Urbana staple!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

I’ll be back soon. Food was outstanding. I had some ghobi and naan and can’t wait to try out the rest of the menu. That first bite really blew me away! I like that the restaurant is connected to the market. I might not have stopped into the market otherwise, but I will be going back on a full trip there soon. I could use for maybe some stools while I wait. My food took a little longer than I anticipated, but it was absolutely worth it. Maybe other dishes take less time. I’m finally taking the vegetarian plunge and I can already tell this place will be my new best friend. I really hope meat lovers don’t skip out just because it’s all veg, the food is so good you don’t want to miss out!

Our first time eating from Mama's Kitchen. We ordered Chana Masala, Veg Biryani, Dry Manchurian, Pani Puri, and Samosa. Everything tasted authentic and was delicious!
