    small house salad
    Michael S.

    I went to pick up my Yelp Indy elite squad perk at 4 Birds Bakery , and decided to grab some dinner while I was at The Garage Food Hall. I decided to try some Greek food at Mama Fofos. The menu looked good, so I choose the falafel wrap with fries and a small house salad to go. The woman was very nice and professional when she took my order. It was a bit of wait because they were other orders ahead of me, but it took about 15-20 minutes to get my order. The presentation of the falafel wrap was nice, and it did taste very good. The small house salad was good, but not the best house salad I have ever had. For a Greek vendor, Mama Fofos was Ok and decent at The Garage Food Hall but I would not go back there unless I craved Greek food. The Garage Food Hall has other selections that are of higher quality that Mama Fofos. I'm not saying this to be mean, but the food was bland and lacked flavor and consistency. I feel I would be better off trying another vendor at The Garage Food Hall for lunch or dinner. That is my two cents worth. Hope it helps! Mama Fofos does have a nice ambiance to it, so I will give them props for the ambiance.

    Gyro as you can see a bit over stuffed
    Dan S.

    Fun place in the Garage food hall. Fast service I had gyro very quickly. The fries were solid and spiced nicely. The gyro was too full to eat. I know everyone likes a big portion but I had to eat half the meat and scrape out excessive yogurt to be able to pick it up to eat. Very messy but it was good.

    We stopped here at garage food hall before a convention in Indianapolis. We did the full walk around and this place looked like it had some really nice food to stop in with. Being a food hall meant that there was a lot of activity every direction . Even so there was not a line and people were very friendly. The food itself was delicious . I personally had the falafel and found that it was perfectly cooked and well seasoned. Their sauce also was really good for both the wrap and to be used on the fries. All in all, this is a great place to go if you're in need of a good meal in Indianapolis.

    Falafel sandwich and fries

    Tried this place at the Bottleworks garage. It's good. I got the falafel pita and fries. The fries were ok, but the pita was AMAZING. The falafel was so good. Crispy on the outside, but hot and steamy on the inside. They had delicious sauce, hummus, and the perfect amount of veggies. This was great. I went after the lunch rush, and the service was very quick. The staff were all very kind. The garage is always amazing. Lots of room to sit, tons of other options for food if you are with a group, etc. Definitely try this place. The falafel was great. I will be back to try other menu items.

    My veggie gyro was yummy. It did, however, take a long time for them to make. Employees seemed to be talking with each other instead of handing out the food. .

    Sales tax is 7%???? Admin fee!

    Great food. Scamming money! 9% sales tax... Admin fee... Not cool man. I asked the employee and he looked at me like I was a cheap a$$

    Gyro without onions

    Friendly service and I had a delicious, fresh lamb and beef gyro (without onion on my request) with a garlicky, thick tzatziki sauce. My gyro came with fries that were crispy and tasty. Totally helped me cure my fix for a gyro! So good!

    I went to the garage and took my time to look for what I wanted to eat. I happily decided to try Mama Fofos where Ms.Penny kindly recommended and explained everything to me. She took the time to make sure I got exactly what I wanted and more. I highly recommended the chicken gyro! Ms. Penny even invited me to her families restaurant and that was amazing as well! So glad I chose mama fofos!!! Can't wait to visit the family again!

    Mama Fofo's is ALWAYS top tier They have the best hummus I have ever tried. I have gotten the hummus dip appetizer so much that it's borderline addiction lol. I got their gyro and fries last time and the fries were super crispy, but soft inside, and were coated with a Greek seasoning that was super aromatic. The gyro meat was great but it had a bit too much tzatziki for my liking - to the point where it kind of overpowered everything else and made the gyro hard to eat due to the mess.

    Gyro melt w/tzatziki sauce. Not my photo but looks exactly the same as mine.
    Michele V.

    Ordered Gyro Melt. Hot, crunchy shell, creamy inside with tzatziki was pretty good. Wanted a gyro meal but it was way overpriced. Enjoyed that meal but can get gyro's other places for less that are delicious.

    Chicken gyro

    Mama Fofos is a yummy spot in the garage with Greek/Mediterranean cuisine! I had the chicken gyro here which came with fries, and it exceeded my expectations!! The chicken was juicy, seasoned very well, and the yogurt sauce was perfectly thick and flavorful. The fries were seasoned, crispy, and delicious as well! I'm hungry just thinking about it! In terms of service, the woman serving us was nice and friendly. There's a lot of seating in the garage too and it's a lively environment, so it's a great spot to grab a bite with friends :)

    Basically what it says on the box... quick Greek food to go. I had the Gyro, because of course I did. Prices are similar to most of the other booths in the area. I thought that the serving size was perfect, but if you're used to the massive gyros that some places sell, yeah, it's not that. If you're a guy used to big plates of food, you might need to get another snack after this. Regardless, the food was very tasty, and I could definitely see myself returning if I was in the area

    Chicken gyro with fries
    Christin S.

    Delicious! Just had a very delicious lunch at The Garage Food Hall - Mama Fofo's. The chicken tasted awesome. It was juicy and flavorful and crunchy. The tzatziki sauce on the gyro was very very good. Salad was super fresh and delicious. The fries were nice and crispy and very good. We enjoyed everything about our meal and are excited to go back!

    We're always looking for good Greek food in Indianapolis and noticed this spot while eating…read moresomewhere nearby, so we decided to make a trip back downtown for it at a later time. Located in a cute blue house, this is conveniently located near Lucas Oil Stadium and there was a huge concert going on the night we were there, but we were still allowed to park in their parking area. Inside has nice lighting and is pretty plain but has a homey feel. The menu contains many items we're familiar with having visited Greece twice. So I'm going to be a little critical here with my review of the food. I ordered the Greek Spaghetti, which I have had in Greece. Unfortunately this was not at all what I was expecting or anything like Greek spaghetti. What I was served was basically Prego spaghetti sauce with pieces of gyro in it. Traditional Greek spaghetti (or Makaronia me Kima) is a wonderful sauce that's seasoned with all kinds of memorable spices. It's definitely not pieces of gyro meat thrown in a sauce. So while this was fine, it was not what I truly wanted or thought I was getting so I was pretty disappointed. My husband got the chicken souvlaki and that was better but still not quite like what I remember. The meat was almost smoked and lacked some of the Greek spices that gives it a distinct taste. And the tzatziki...well, let's just say it tastes like whipped feta and was lacking in flavor too. I did enjoy the pita bread. Our service was underwhelming as well. It took a while for anyone to notice we were there and needed to be seated and the server basically did the bare minimum, never even asking if we wanted our water refilled. Overall, it was fine. If I had never been to Greece, I may have a different opinion but this isn't someplace I really want to go back to.

    This was my first time trying Turkish coffee, and I absolutely loved it! For other first-time…read morevisitors, I recommend letting the coffee sit for about 30 seconds before taking a sip so the fine grounds can settle to the bottom. Also, don't stir it after it's served, as that will bring the grounds back up into the coffee. Be sure to leave the last sip or two in the cup, since that's where the grounds collect. The coffee itself was excellent, but I would recommend that servers explain these details to first-time customers or at least ask whether they've had Turkish coffee before. A little guidance would make the experience even better for newcomers. We also ordered the hummus as an appetizer, and it was fantastic. The naan was served warm, and the hummus tasted incredibly fresh and flavorful. It was the perfect way to start the meal. We also ordered The Bosphorus Special, a mixed grill platter featuring doner, kofte, chicken kebab, beef kebab, Adana kebab, and chicken Adana kebab, served with vegetables and white rice. Everything was absolutely delicious. The meats were cooked perfectly, tender, and packed with flavor. I'm so glad my significant other and I decided to share this entrée because the portion was very generous, and we still had plenty of leftovers to take home. While the service could have been a bit more attentive, it did not negatively impact our overall experience. After our food was served, our waitress did not check back to see how everything was or whether we needed anything additional. We also ended up with quite a few leftovers and requested to-go containers. Initially, only one small container was brought to the table, which required two additional follow-ups before we received enough containers for the remaining food. One suggestion I would offer is that, for tables ordering larger meals, it may be helpful for servers to proactively offer to box up leftovers as dishes are cleared. For just two people, our table became overcrowded rather quickly, especially with the generous portions. Since our waitress did not return after the food was served, it made managing the table and leftovers a little challenging. That said, we had a wonderful first experience overall. The food was outstanding, the portions were generous, and we look forward to coming back again in the future.

Finally someone came over. We ordered teas & an appetizer of flaming saganaki. We found it very tasty. For entered I ordered the Greek meatball sandwich. My wife got a cup of egg lemon bowl ( which is a soup she loves) & Keftethes ( with beef meatballs). I found the fries god & the meatballs & bread decent but the sauce was a little off to me which greatly reduced my enjoyment. It was just ok. My wife thought the soup was a bit thin but overall god with a strong lemon flavor. Her entree the meatballs were good, the green beans were cold & the roasted potatoes were decent. Overall she was meh. We ordered desserts to go. Baklava, Galaktoboureko ( custard in philo dough) & Oreo cake. Wife thought the baklava had an overpowering cinnamon taste which hurt it. The Galaktoboureko was basically sugar cream pie with philo crust. I thought it was ok but wife thought it should have been thinner. She also believes the to go containers aren't sufficient for these desserts due to the sugar syrup. The "Oreo cake" had one cookie to the side & was dry. When we gave the waitress our gift certificate she said they would take that off when they rang up the bill. She came back & the gift certificates were not taken off. I pointed this out to her & she went back to talk to whoever is running the register. When she came back she said she has no idea what's going on but they gave me a $50 bill to credit the $50 in gift certificates. My amazing wife surmised that they credited someone else's bill & gave us the $50 to make it right for us. Bottom line is all the staff we interacted with were friendly but the restaurant is very disorganized. Food was just ok. Can't say we were impressed.

Because we got our food to go, the pita came separate from everything else, and I had to assemble my gyro myself like a little taco. It was delicious, but so much food!

I think this might even be my baba ganoush go-to now. Ordering online is very easy, and my food was ready to be picked up even before it was supposed to be. The only thing is that Sahara is located on the Broad Ripple strip, so parking can be iffy. I didn't find any parking in front of the restaurant, so I had to circle the block a bit before I found a spot.
