Mama's Food Shop NYC

Home-cooked food in a city overpopulated with complex restaurants. This lower east side restaurant serves around 15 different dishes daily concentrating on great home-made style cooking. The portions are huge and a full plate is only $10. The idea behind it is somewhat southern, but the food isn't quite as heavy. Four of us shared two plates and it was just the right amount. We got the roasted chicken, honey glazed sweet potatoes, zucchini, grilled salmon, orzo, and cucumber salad. Everything was great - comforting, simple, tasty food. After a long day of walking around in the heat, we wanted to eat something on the lighter side and at Mama's Food Shop we got a healthy balanced meal for $5 each. Who can say no to that? The restaurant is somewhat obscure and I probably would have passed right by it or at least not known it was a restaurant had my friend not been there before. It's a great place to go when you are looking for a hassle-free, flavorful meal.
