Oh Mama Grill Dc 1829 Columbia Road Northwest, Washington, District of Columbia 20009

"Great people, great food. Ordered the falafel pita and fries, everything was fresh and perfectly made. Quick and delicious."

"Had pita (delicious), hummus (ordinary) and a rice/lentil dish (weirdly sweet, still unsure if I liked it)"

"Very good takeaway spot that fills the void Astor (restaurant previously in this location) left. To be honest, much more flavorful and interesting menu compared to Astor. So many different ways to build your meal here and staff is willing to explain what is what as there are a lot of new options Good food. Come and eat it. Pita is a must."

"Super great kosher restaurant. Great fresh tasty meals.. very kind portion.. worth a shot."

"I am not a restaurant reviewer. I'm not even a wine reviewer. I just love food and wine and the way they are created. And the enjoyment people get from great experiences. Existing in the Baltimore/DC corridor often leaves one wanting better food and wine experiences. D.C. proper is a whole different problem. While surrounding suburbs have its share of restaurants, D.C. has always struggled. Char Bar has in recent years been a fine option. Honestly it's just nice to have somewhere to eat when you're in the city. But think about it this way: I was speaking to my dear friend, the famous Gabriel Geller on my way back to Baltimore from D.C. We shared the exact same astoundment at the fact that the capital of the United States has so few kosher options and even shuls when the most irreligious European capitals all have more. We're not just talking Paris and London. So when I heard that the well-respected Rockville establishment, Oh Mama Grill was opening in D.C. (in the eclectic Adams Morgan neighborhood), and found myself in the area today, I made sure to check it out. Looking over the menu, I was ready to go schawarma platter when I saw the burgers section. What can I say? I'm a sucker for a burger. So underrated. At least the good ones. I asked the guy behind the counter (did not catch his name but super friendly and helpful) a few pointed burger questions and decided on the Double Burger (there is a lamb/beef option as well, but I just can't with the lamb - too gamey). The system is straightforward. Order at the front, you get a number, you can wait on the side (particularly if you're getting falafel/shawarma and want to choose your salad inserts) or they'll call you up. I chose to wait on the side. You are just feet from watching them make the food. Everything was nice and clean from what I could see. I like that transparency. I asked for all the veggie options of the standard lettuce, tomato, pickle, onion, and then asked, as I was standing there looking at it, if I could have some of the amba/cabbage/carrot salad in my burger. They happily obliged. My order (and all others around me) was done very efficiently. I found it notable that I didn't see another yarmulke in the place. That's a sign that the food holds up. I chose to sit outside in the beautiful evening weather, particularly pleasant on a nice D.C. city street. Rare to get to eat al fresco in Baltimore (at least somewhere nice). So the burger was awesome. Highly recommend getting that amba salad on it. What can I say, I'm a food genius. My only critique would be the bun was not equipped for the Herculean task of holding this burger and fixins together. It was a simple white bread small bun. The burger was seasoned properly (not sure why so many places don't season/salt their burgers), cooked well. The fries were of the hand cut variety and were decent, though I think needed a touch longer in the fryer. All in all, really pleased with the dinner in a really nice location. Great staff. Very delicious food. Great spot."
