Uncle Momo

Got as take out. Delicious. Heads up for ordering Momo Mezze. It does NOT come with any bread by default, (pita or what-not). Nor an option, in the ordering for that option. Not necessarily a huge deal, but something to be aware of. Lamb kababs. Branzini, lentil soup ....all were just awesome.

My whole family loves Momo’s. The food is absolutely delicious. We’re fans of their hummus, Momo’s salad w/ grilled chicken, steak and fries, pitza’s, spinach pie, chicken shawarma, salmon. We’ve also had great experiences with catering. The restaurant is super cozy and we love the antiques. Our daughters also love visiting bear and watching pita making. The service is wonderful. Highly recommend.

Wonderful casual dinning! Their specialties are authentic and delicious. I especially love their ouzi, the falafel is expertly prepared, and the flatbreads are simplistic and tasty. The eclectic dinning room is super cozy, especially during the holidays - decoration are some of the best in town! Haven't tried breakfast yet but certainly will. Don't believe takeout lady who ordered to go and complained about cold food (duh) and lamb pizza guy probably expects american pizza.

Uncle Momo in Montclair used to be one of my favorite spots, but it has sadly gone downhill. I gave it another shot recently and was extremely disappointed. I ordered the lamb pizza, which turned out to be a joke—just a thin slice of pita bread with a dab of sauce and barely any meat. It was bland and lazy. The chicken shawarma, once a highlight, tasted nothing like it used to—dry and flavorless. As for the lentil soup, I’m 100% certain it came from a can. There’s no depth, no freshness—just a salty, generic mess. It’s clear the quality has taken a backseat, and they’re cutting corners hoping customers won’t notice. Well, I noticed—and I won’t be coming back. What a waste of $70.

Ordered momos pizza. Flavor was good just a tad too much salt. And the chili is meatless I guess? For $19 with tax that is kind of steep. But the people were pleasant and the pizza crust was so good.
