Mama Mona Cuisine - (Near Dearborn, MI)

5 /5 JL (BeyondBookends): We ordered from both the breakfast and lunch menu and every dish was excellent. Highly recommend the cauliflower, the fatteh with tongue, the zaatar manakish, and the grill plate with rice (we tried the kafta). The freshly made pita bread is complimentary and are slightly sweet and very tasty.

5 /5 Rayan Saleh: I recently dined at Mama Mona in Dearborn and was really impressed. From the moment we walked in, the place felt clean and welcoming, and the presentation of both the restaurant and the food was great. You can tell they put a lot of care into every detail, from the decor to how each dish is prepared and served, and I truly appreciate that. The service was just as good. Elena took great care of us, was very kind and attentive, and checked in on us several times to make sure everything was perfect.

4 /5 Christina Huynh: Not being familiar with the area, I took a chance on this spot and was glad I did. The space was quite lovely and the service was fantastic. We started with the hummus, mutabal, and mouhammara. All of them beautifully plated in generous portions alongside a basket of warm pita. The pita was excellent with a nice crust on the outside and just enough fluff inside. The hummus had a velvety smooth texture and topped with soft, creamy whole chickpeas. Flavorwise, it was pleasantly mild, striking a nice balance between the nuttiness of tahini and the chickpeas without much garlic or lemon. The only drawback was the bit of chickpea water on top, which made some bites watery and bland. The mutabal was smoky with pomegranate seeds and molasses adding some refreshing brightness. The mouhammara had a thick, satisfying body and full of flavors. I had a skewer of shish tawook and thought it was a bit dry and flavorless. My friend enjoyed his lamb kabsa and was impressed with how easily the meat fell off the bone. The side lentil soup was hearty and comforting though a touch too thick for me.

5 /5 Ali Elreichouni: Incredibly cute restaurants serving up Lebanese favs! We went for breakfast and every one of their dishes was a slam dunk. The Qudasia was particularly wonderful. I would opt for the tea instead of the coffee.

5 /5 Ameen Sarsour: Absolutely delicious! The food was outstanding and the restaurant had such a nice, welcoming atmosphere. It was my first time trying the cherry kabobs, and I couldn’t get enough of them — full of flavor and perfectly cooked. The hummus was excellent, creamy, and fresh. The three cheese manakeesh was the first thing to disappear from our table — that says it all! The eggs with sujuk were also really good. Top it off with 5-star service, and this place easily became one of my new favorites. Highly recommend!
