We ended up at La Mama after reading all the reviews. La Mama didn't disappoint! It's a small restaurant owned and run by a lady from Yemen and her husband (who has Masters in IT!). Their story by itself is amazing but that's for some other time. We ordered whatever the lady/owner recommended, a chicken sate type entree, lamb shanks, and drinks.

Came here to grab a late dinner on my way home just as they were locking the doors (hours listed on my source were wrong; it closes at 9pm and not 930pm like I thought). The gentleman working, who I believe is the son of the owner, was nice enough to still make me a plate. Easily the best lamb I have ever had. Literally falls off the bone like a tender pot roast and has amazing flavor. Absolutely recommend and I’ll be back when I’m in the neighborhood.
