Square Meal review of Momo: ? Write your own review

When this glitterati-bedecked Moroccan hit Mayfair back in 1997, it fostered a taste for exotic brass lanterns, multicoloured rugs & all sorts of North African paraphernalia. It’s a designer’s dream to be sure, although Momo is occasionally accused of being an over-priced ‘touristy’ trip. Nevertheless, the party vibe is irresistible (Madonna had her birthday bash here many moons ago) & the food does its best to stay true to North Africa, without frightening fair-weather Marrakech Express travellers. Tagines & couscous loaded with all manner of ingredients (chicken, lamb, preserved lemons, olives & apricots in various combinations) are the stomach-filling mainstays, although it’s worth beginning with some mezze or pastillas (cigar-shaped savoury pastries). If you’re not completely full, continue with sticky Maghrebi sweetmeats. As a final stroke, allow mint tea – poured from a great height – to work its digestion-soothing magic. Tapas & cocktails are served in the basement Kemia bar.

I absolutely love Momo on Heddon Street. My friend recommended it a while ago and it has now become my favorite place to eat. The food is full of flavour and truly remarkable, the dish I can’t resist is the wood pigeon pastilla. I would highly recommend Momo to anyone wanting a change.

I would not recommend momo's to anybody. We were not expecting anything too special, but we ended up wishing that we had not wasted our time. The service was so bad it was beyond a joke. The food was very badly prepared and ill considered, in fact, it was no better than I have eaten in service station buffets on the motorway. The atmosphere was not dissimilar to motorway service stations either, with awful intruding music and an overall feeling of dirt. I was disappointed in every respect. If you want to eat in London you would be better off at wimpy. zero stars. the owners of this establishment need to take a hard look at their business because it seems like it has come to a very unsatisfactory, substandard ending.

I've been a few times over the years and decided to take a friend from out of town here. The food was very average. The saving graces were (a) the atmosphere; and (b) the service which whilst not great, was charming. One thing to bear in mind, the main couscous courses are huge!

the ambience is amazing but beware this central london outfit has built a name equated with trend and cool and as a result, one feels a lot of their decisions are commercially driven eg exorbitant prices, tables v close to each other, time limits on tables, unable to get mint tea in bar in evening. I for one will be saving my pennies to go somewhere more homely, relaxed and sacrifice style!

charming place but inexusably expensive for frankly very basic moroccan food that you could make just as well at home with a Claudia Roden cookbook. For this kind of money is it really acceptable that every piece of crockery we ate off be THAT chipped? And is it ok to be THAT close to other punters such that you are literally shoulder to shoulder. Not really my idea of a top end restaurant, despite the high price tag and pleasant service. Dont get me wrong, the food is good, just terribly terribly overpriced. Goto Sidi Maarouf on Edgware Road instead and save yourself some money. Sidi's service borders on terrible but the place is decorative, the food is good and half the price of Momos and they have unchipped crockery at least!

If you are looking for a tourist priced moroccan with poor quality wines at overrated prices this is the place for you.
