Uncle Momo

Awesome brunch spot. They worked to accommodate our group of 7 even though the restaurant is tiny. Everything is freshly prepared and it tastes it. The food is delicious and the service is great.

A "No No" for Uncle Momo!

I considered only 1 star however some of our party liked this. This is a tiny, noise, place. On one hand I can see the appeal, feels like a tight Parisian cafe. The other people here were of an interesting mix. A table of 8 young late 20-somethings, older couples, many searching for a good ethnic tasting.

However, we did not find this. We shared a Momo Salad with Feta ($10 listed on the menu as Romaine lettuce, tomato, pepper, artichoke, kalamata olives) This was a tiny salad that was presented on a large plate, with NO tomatoes, NO artichoke, NO pepper and some thinly sliced onions.

My husband ordered Hummus ($5.95) that came with some incredible pita. He loved it. I should stop here because this was the best part of our meal.

I studied the menu before we went and noticed they offered Steak Frites ($23) stating it was Organic grass fed Rib-eye served with fries. The steak was inedible. It tasted old and odd, inedible and no way was it grass fed. It was so fatty. And the Frites (fries) were the kind that came out of the bag that you bake in the oven for your kids. Not fried, but baked. A good does of salt and some ketchup got me through those.

My husband ordered the Lamb Shish Kabab Plate ($14.95) which was described as Ground lamb served with grilled tomato, Shallots & rice. There was NO tomato, NO Shallots, and lots of rice. Think Lamb Meatballs. The lamb was cooked inconstantly, some of the meatball kabobs were undercooked, some over cooked, some fine.

The couple we were with ordered Salmon and Chicken Kabobs. They liked them. They offered be a piece of the chicken and I gotta say it ended up getting dipped in the ketchup... to dried out.

When they came to clear the table they noticed that I had not eaten the steak. I quietly explained it was inedible. The waitress removed the item from the bill.

We will definitely not be going back.

This is very cute restaurant, with decent food, but the staff is just not friendly. We went there for brunch, on a Saturday, with our kids after soccer, and once the waitress took our orders, she never checked back in with us. As she walked by to help another table, my wife asked her for ketchup and a fork, but they never came. It was only after we sent our son to ask again, did she drop the ketchup on the table, without a word, and left. As we were leaving, we said goodbye to the manager, who barely looked up to acknowledge us.

It's a shame the staff was so unfriendly.

This is one of the best place Montclair to have breakfast.

Love the "Momo Burger". Fries are crisp and fresh.

This place is unbelievable. The falafel is honestly the best falafel I have ever had in my life and I have tried a lot of falafel. It is soft, crunchy, creamy and flavorful all in one bite. Honestly, the whole menu is awesome. I am not a desert guy but their desert is great. Get the saffron rice pudding.
