Reviews for Mama Papa Lithuania Restaurant in Alameda, CA
Great food only issue was it was under salted but other than that great place to take a date
Such good fresh different food. Very authentic. The honey cake was amazing. The dumplings potato and flour are both amazing. The... sausages were delicious too! All good! Read more
Small place with unique heavy wooden chairs that you can hardly slide. The price seemed a bit high but I am not from the large... city and maybe that is normal for there. It was $6 just for a side cucumber salad. The dish turned out to be big enough for twoto share. The yogurt sauce was sweet which surprised me and was too sweet for my taste. My husband loved the borscht soup andthe homemade sausages he ordered. I ordered the cabbage rolls which turned out to be in a tangy/sweet sauce which, again, wasnot my favorite. But I am a picky eater so you may live it. My husband's meal came with a slice of rye bread that is shippedfrom Lithuania. It had a unique flavor I've not tasted before. I tried the "healthful" Amber tea. It was expensive at $6. As thewaitress described, it really didn't have any flavor so hope it did my body some good as promised. Read more
Really delicious COMFORT food. Taste like HOMEMADE, the way my Grandmother cooked, except with an Eastern European flare. I love... the borscht (soup) with unbelievably good dark brown (rye?) bread. Ask for butter for your bread. The coffee is one of myfavorites. They put the ground coffee in the bottom of your cup and pour hot water over it. You have to wait about 5 minutesfor the grounds to settle - but. It is worth it. Read more
It was a wonderful experience to eat there. Brought my boyfriend to try my country cuisine, was not dissapointed , tho few... things were not as good as I hoped it would be like fryed bread should have been crispy instead of chewy , and few things couldhave had bit more seasoning, but overall I liked it and I think I will come back there again. + They sell Lithuanian rye breadthat is absolutely amazing Read more
