Very underwhelming - Edit
While the staff and ambience was nice, the vegan broth soup wasn’t great. Quite tasteless and it cost £17!!

The best food of our honeymoon - Edit
We have been to many restaurants now while in Reykjavik and around the south coast. Mama was the best in both my husband and my opinion. For tasty whole food dishes, with happy calm vibes, it can't be missed.
Read moreFor all the stews they can make a wrap for you out of the stew, rice and salad. They were also very kind about removing coriander for us as Jordan has the soap gene 💔
For the main, I had the Dahl a la Mama, and he had the Chilli wrap. It was so delicious, and the depth of flavour was incredible. He was very happy seeing the size of the wrap and enjoyed it very much.
Afterwards, I had the love potion tea (as it is our honeymoon!!) which was wonderful and so flavourful. My husband had the red smoothie, which he loved (and I stole many sips of!).
Overall, there is a great energy at Mama, with friendly staff and a beautiful space. The food was fantastic and we will definitely return if we get time on our trip!

Warming and tasty - Edit
Lovely environment and staff. Great range of food to try - so hearty and warming for the cold Icelandic weather! Portions were huge too so great value for money. I had the lentil stew and would definitely recommend it!

Awesome! - Edit
I was psyched to make it to an all vegan place on my way back from the north to catch a flight in the capital. Super cool neighborhood and a super cool space! I went for soup and salad and both were great!

So delicious! - Edit
Everything my wife and I tried here was delicious. We came here 3 times while we were in Reykjavik this week. The Mama curry, mushroom umami, tortilla chips and dips, and Dhal a la mama we're so good. The tea and kombucha were good too. The place is really cute. Servings are pretty big if you're hungry.

A peaceful meal - Edit
A cut down menu on offer so I had a humus with veg dips. This place is all about ambience, don't go for a quick bite to eat, it's a time out sort of place.

Delicious food, relaxed atmosphere - Edit
The meals were filling! We had the dal and the hummus for brunch, and are thinking of only having a light dinner. Very nice mix of flavors. The tamarind chutney and the vegan yogurt on the dal were particularly fun. The dessert looked delicious as well, but we didn’t have room for more.
Read moreThe ambiance was also quite nice. The back of the restaurant has a bit of a boutique cafe feel, with cushy chairs and small tables and all sorts of nice decorations. We enjoyed sitting and talking as well as eating.

Great place - Edit
A lovely calm, welcoming environment with delicious food. It's a bit hard to find as they had only been in their new place a few days. It's through the courtyard and up the stairs in the corner.

Excellent food, lovely atmosphere. - Edit
The food was extremely tasty. I ended up having the Mama Jamaica two days in a row, because I loved it so much. It's easy to see what allergens the food has in the menu card. I loved the alternative and relaxed atmosphere. I love to return someday!

Cozy & delicious - Edit
Amazing vibes - highly recommend checking the upstairs seating for a cozier more relaxed space. Everything we ate was delicious - the best golden milk latte I’ve ever had! The potato soup was incredible too.

Excellent food, staff, and atmosphere - Edit
I mean, does Mama really need another review? Yes, if just for another reminder of how great it is. Honestly, I'm not usually all that interested in restaurants that taste "healthy," since their food is so often bland and poorly prepared. But Mama is fresh, delicious, and leaves you feeling energized.

My wife and I were able to finally go to this place out last few days in Reykjavík and we were beyond indulged! We brought our 7 month old baby along with us and it was one of many baby friendly places we went to, thanks to the amazing staff! Everything was thoughtfully made exquisitely executed! We had the Dahl Stew, the soup of the day (Indonesian peanut soup), the mushroom sandwich, and of course their hand selected tea and adorable bliss balls for dessert! The dishes were crave-able and will be one of the many reasons we will want to return to Iceland!
