Our founder, Mama Ayesha Abraham, was born in the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem in the late 1800โs. After running 24 farms by the age of 21, she came to the United States in the late 1940โs. She was hired as a cook for the Syrian Embassy.
It serves delicious and authentic Mediterranean Food.

9 months agoAs usually in the US the facade doesnโt impress but inside thereโs a really nice and quite big restaurant with a soothing vibe. The food was good, spicy but lacked some freshness, vegetables and also some kind of gravy, marinade to juice things up a little bit. Like the eggplant starter, the best dish of the day.

4 months agoThe food is delicious- beautiful presentation. The Maqlooba and Musakhan are some of the best Iโve ever had. I asked for white meat after receiving my meal with dark meat any they brought me an extra chicken piece for free (very generous and welcoming). The place dates back to the 1960s you can read more about Mama Ayeshaโs story at the entrance.

a year agoGrรฉรขt atmosphรจre and ambiance, we enjoyed the dessert dishes the most, the rice pudding with the rose water was excellent. We also had some mezza plates to share, and some entrรฉes . My mom loved the garlic sauce, and I particularly liked the Kibbah.

2 years agoI visited Mama Ayeshaโs for a friendโs birthday and it was a great experience. The food and ambiance were great. Every dish had the perfect amount of seasoning and flavor. We went on a Tuesday night, and there was only one other party dining while we were there. Overall, the experience was great besides our waiter who was a bit rude. He walked away from us while we were ordering on multiple occasions which rubbed me the wrong way. Either way, itโs worth a visit. We payed around $300 for a group of 8
