Momo

PRE-RONA....

This is one of my favorite places in London. Sometimes you want to go to a spot that has a bunch of variety and is close enough to the hustle and bustle with a spin on being far away from everyone else.

This is really a review for the drinks in the bar downstairs and the vibe of that secret speakeasy. This is one of my favorite secret spots in London that is a part of Momo. The drinks are some of the most inventive cocktails and the vibe brings you to a different place and time.

If you're looking for a break from the pub life... head downstairs to the bar. Hopefully, it will be safe to drink inside again soon.

a few years ago I would take everyone to this restaurant as I loved the atmosphere and the food. it is not cheap but I loved it. however, when I started to take people their for their birthday it rapidly went down hill and let me tell you why as I am sure you will understand.

on more than two occasions I would book a cake for my girlfriend for here birthday. we get one slice of cake each and they would keep the rest. in fact on one occasion the name on the cake was for a different person so they shared the cake and charged £20 pounds. this was evidence to me of what they were doing.

I've not got back since. I always say peope think they are smart. it works short term and they think they are smarter than others. long term they always lose. in this case they lost a loyal customer. that's the price you pay.

now this experience was many year ago but I never returned but hopefully they've changed. let me know please. I'm interested but I still would not go back

Jesus Christ. I need a medal just for finding this place on foot.
They would not take a walk up reservation ( got there at 5 and did not start serving for another hour. Just told us to come back. Had a drink at Gordon Ramsay's in the interim)
Once arrived, it was pretty empty but they sat the 2 of us at the bar anyway. Very friendly bartenders and management. We were by the drink station so got a hefty waft of waiter BO.
All of the staff is Italian (?). Gave us a free aperol spritz at the bar and a taste of Tunisian wine (yummy).
Great chicken and lemon/olive tagine. Delicious bread and hummus. Friend is vegetarian and was as satisfied with the veggie options.
Was good but will try another place next time.

Such an amazing discovery in London!
We were looking with my friends for a place to seat and have a tea/coffee. We were around Regent street and we found Momo cafe by walking through small streets.
Quiet area with a nice terrace and not crowded at all!

I ordered the mint tea with some orange blossom flavor, delicious!
Good price for a nice tea!

I have to go again to try the food now

Very impressive, and I rarely give five stars. Wonderful atmosphere, sweet and happy folks providing us service. Someone had a birthday celebration and one of the waitresses came out dancing Arabic to find music and minutes the entire place was clapping laughing and jiggling, having a great time. Our kids were photobombing the table next to us snapping selfies which was funny for both. Waiter was patient and happy to take pics of our entire group.
The food was amazing: I had tangine (goat and pear maybe); we shared appetizers & wine.
Highly recommended.

I liked this place. We had a reservation for four people at 6:30pm and we got there a bit early so they let us in and told us we had the table for two hours, which was no problem.

The drinks were good, food was excellent, and the service was just fine - very nice indeed. Also I liked the ambiance and it wasn't very noisy for a London restaurant - our group could talk freely and hear each other just fine!

Also, the restaurant wasn't kidding about the two hours for the table. At ~8:25pm they came by and politely kicked us out (they really were nice about it!).

I don't know that I would come back here unless I was in the area but overall I did enjoy the experience here. Try the Lamb Tagine - it's really good.

Visited the cafe part of momo and I enjoyed the ambience and the drinks so much! The interior is like no other 'cafes' I've been to. Had the rose mint tea and it's like sweetened mint tea with some rose scent added to it. Very aromatic and warming. Also had their pudding-like dessert which was also quite good.

We went for a friend's birthday dinner and had a good time.

The food was pretty solid overall. We had the tasting menu, which came with a number of taster starters and mains, including chickens, sausages, beef and vegetable dishes. Their couscous was phenomenal, which went nicely with all the dishes. I'm not a big fan of African food, but I enjoyed the experience this evening.

Service was good, though not the best. Whilst the servers were prompt in bringing out our dishes and drinks, there was some confusion with the restaurant manager regarding payment, which was a bit annoying.

Ambience was very nice -- authentic and spacious. A good way to introduce friends to the cuisine.

The absolute worst experience during our trip to London this week! My fiancé and I were sat next to a very large group of people who had obviously been drinking heavily but from the moment we sat down continued to get extremely loud and obnoxious. The restaurant was full and due to the fact of an issue with the tube that night and having to push out our reservation we really just wanted to eat and get out of there. My fiancé didn't even want to go there but after having a great meal and experience here about 15 years ago I thought after being in Italy for the past week it would be fun to have a different experience...Well we're were sat down next to an extremely loud group of about 12 women having a Birthday celebration whom were extremely loud which we just ignored because they were so drunk but than the restaurant turns up to the music extremely loud and the wait staff started dancing and singing at the table bringing a birthday cake to this table and this one woman who was clearly trashed started dancing right up against our table and just about knocked over a bottle on our table ....I raised my arm up to block her from hitting our table...we never complained as it was late and we just got wanted to finish our meal and get out of there. This extremely drunk woman starts taking our picture a few times (not sure why) but than makes a whole scene saying that my boyfriend has elbowed her or something...I think it was the manager for the night actually came up to our table to check and see if we were OK... Again at this point we just wanted to get our meal over with and get out of there. Thankfully the gentleman at the table next to us who were from the area just kept trying to keep us distracted and apologizing for the table of strangers as they were also in awe of the behavior and that the restaurant was allowing it.
To top of the night the meal itself was horrible, neither one of us even finished our meal and the restaurant had the nerve to give us our $200 bill without even comping a drink for all of that chaos. The quality of this place is not what it used to be, although the woman who I believe was the manager for the night came over to check on us it didn't make up for such a horrible experience. I guess the other party must have been spending a lot of money so there experience was more important than the rest of the guests.
I did receive a note when checking out of my hotel that the manager did call the next day to apologize but it was 6 am 2 days later and we were on our way back to NY.
If you enjoy good food and a great dining experience do yourself a favor and do not eat here!!!

My family and I happened upon this restaurant as we were looking for a place to eat and have a rest during a busy Friday lunch rush. The place is beautiful! It's like being transported to Morocco. For starters, we ordered the hummus, duck foie gras, scallop carpaccio, octopus with beet. For our main courses we had the salade niçoise, corn fed chicken with ratatouille, gambas with mixed roasted vegetables, and the sea bream. Everything was delicious and we finished all of the food! The staff was very nice and attentive as well. So not a tourist trap. Will go back!
