Salam Aleikum! Welcome to Momo!
London original Arabic den
When Parisian-Algerian restaurateur Mazouz arrived in London in 1995, among the first things that he did was look for a place to eat his homey couscous. He couldn’t find any… But his Vespa took him to Heddon Street, at the time a dark semi-abandoned walkway located off Regent Street, in London West End... Encompassing Music, Food and Visual aesthetics, Momo Restaurant Familial opened in 1997.
Momo consists of four spaces: restaurant, café, outdoor terrace and basement bar/disco including a highly talk-about live music program.
"The A list have raved about Mourad Mazouz's Moroccan food for 10 years now. By rights, Momo should have been taken over by the bourgeois crowd, but, somehow, it hasn't. That must be down to Mazouz, who is effortlessly cool.” The Sunday Times
Momo Restaurant Familial
Our North African and Mediterranean fresh dishes are created by Chef Mohamed Ourad.
“Starters range from traditional briouats and zaalouk to fusion dishes like scrumptiously sweet sea-fresh scallops with beetroot, and mixed seafood with falafel in a light saffron sauce. The usual tagines and couscous rise to new heights here. Our chicken couscous was fabulous: marinated cumin-infused grilled breast with earthily spiced broth and tender veg; harissa with coriander; and astonishingly light, almost silkily fine couscous.
An experience to savour”
