Momed

Been wanting to try this modern mediterrean restaurant for a while now, and finally got the chance to as our Valentine celebration dinner. We avoided going directly on Valentine's day as we like to avoid set menus and select our own dishes! Here's what we had:Drinks - Roses are red (drink of the month) and their version of an espresso martini which was absolutely divine! They bring out complimentary zaatar chips for the table which was nice. Shareable Plates- Avocado Hummus - was expecting tastier - 3/5- Whipped Feta - so refreshing - 4.5/5-Shish Prawns - saffron taste overpowered - 3/5- Shish Octopus - Wow, must try - 5/5Main Dishes - Gnocchi - pretty good nothing amazing - 4/5- NY Steak - medium well was perfect - 5/5- Momo Chips - amazing love the side garlic sauce - 5/5I really wanted to try the mante thinking it would be with traditional ground beef and dough, but the mante they offer is stuffed with different types of mushroom which was an injustice for me, haha! Our waiter, Christian was helpful and attentive. Ambiance of the restaurant was very enjoyable and modern. Overall, a great experience! Don't know if id return for dinner but interested to try their brunch options someday.

10 out of 10 food and experience!!! Highly recommend this place if you're looking for amazing mediterarian food let this be your next go to place. This place is located in a weird residential area so it's hard to just accidentally pass by this place. The exterior doesn't look promising but on the instead it's very pretty. Their valet guy though is a scammer. We pulled up waiting for a valet guy and he wasn't there so we parked in one of the parking spots and came out and we were happy to pay for the spot but the guy tried to say this car is too big it's 2 spots so $20 but their sign says $12. My friends car was a Range Rover then my friend proceeded to complain that first, he wasn't there to assist with valet and now he's trying to charge us for 2 parking spots? Then he said fine $15.. again the sign said $12. This wasn't a good experience.However, the food was spectacular. Their bread is so soft moist. Their whipped feta was delicious with the basil, we also got a green dip was so good mixed with the whipped feta. Their octopus 10/10. Their lamb kefta 10/10 so soft and moist and so much flavour. Would definitely be back!

Momed is a fantastic spot if you like Mediterranean food with a modern California style twist. I went with my family and they seated the four of us on a Saturday. Matt was our waiter and he was excellent answered all of our questions and asked if any of us had dietary restriction. The restaurant had an outdoor and indoor area. The outdoor patio has very nice decorations while the indoor area had a nice spot close to the bar. The food was great we ordered the steak shish, chicken shish, double cheeseburger and the Mediterranean plate all of us loved the food overall five stars!

Brought my mom here for her birthday for brunch. So close to the house, but we had never driven by and found it on yelp and so excited and happy that we did.Very contemporary design almost makes you feel like you're in the arts district in downtown Los Angeles. The vibe is totally hip modern and inviting with a very large patio area. Everyone from the moment you walk in is friendly and eager to help. We decided to start off with some appetizers. The whipped feta, avocado, hummus, a dip, platter and bread. Presentation was exceptional, and the flavors were right on point. My favorite was the feta topped off with the cherry tomatoes and a little bit of olive oil. For the mains, I went with the khachapuri and added bacon. Very traditional, middle eastern dish basically fresh dough baked with feta cheese, some sauce and an egg. Add the chop bacon for an extra savory entrée.Also had the steak kebab and eggs. Steak was cooked perfectly in the seasoned well. Can't find a single bad thing to say about anything that we had. This is definitely a great Sunday brunch spot or maybe a night out with friends.

Came here for my bday. I'm so sad. Between our party of 4 - no one liked anything. I had such high expectations - maybe that's why I was so disappointed. I won't be back. Again I really wanted to like it. So many other med restaurants I'd rather go to than come back here.

We came to this restaurant for Valentine's Day dinner. First time there and everything was extremely delicious. Probably my best pita bread and falafel I've ever had. The kiwi basil Pavlova dessert was exquisite and mindblowingly good. Highly recommend.

I would never have known of this restaurant without having first dined at it with my daughter and son-in-law. It is off the beaten path in a very cool space - the building seems like a warehouse, but the interior is beautifully appointed with a Mediterranean vibe. The bar is very inviting and the food is both inspired and delicious! I have returned several times, and each time we were treated very well by a professional and kind staff. Love this place!

Very cute ambiance in an unassuming location. Server was friendly and attentive. They had a nice list of fun cocktails. The small plates were pretty good but the large pork dinner was flavorless. Unfortunately will probably skip for date nights because the train ran past immediately behind the restaurant approximately 7 times during our dinner which was loud and distracting and took away from the otherwise lovely patio.

Not rude why some ppl have negative comments. Honestly this is one of the best Mediterranean fusion restaurants in LA. Finally made it there for brunch, and still highly recommended and ranked on my end. I've been a regular at Momed so no disappointment so far.

Update 5: Things have changed a bit, and while still good, I miss a lot of items that made it stellar. I would still call it high-performing, but clearly downgraded a star. Okay okay, the avocado humus, muhamara, burrata, Brussel sprouts were wonderful, the octopus and the jidori chicken, whereas the wild mushroom manti delicious and the tajine were a bit disappointing. And the olives, I returned. Update 4: Momed even post COVID continues to be a wonderful foodie oasis, and two guests of middle eastern background shared their positive impression. However, it is very sad that the delicious flat breads have been taken off the menu.Update 3: It is time to give Momed a 5th star. There is almost no better way than to show a friend from Boston what the L.A. culinary world has to offer than to go to Momed: not the best neighborhood, not super-chic but definitely very cool and trendy, comfortable, extremely friendly and hospitable, relaxed - and hey really superb food!!! Among many dishes tried this time, I fell in love with the lamb tagine with dates and pears. In the end, there is not much that can go wrong here - except not to have a sufficiently spacious stomach!Update 2:This is a winner and one of my all-time favorites. There is virtually nothing that could go wrong here. The food is delicious. This time, the selections included the usual and inevitable 5-Mezze, Momo Chips, and Persian Eggplant, followed by a Veggie and a Beef Tajine with pears and plums as well as couscous, and a grass-fed burger. Not to forget about the dessert which barely fit but had to happen: Basbousa and Turkish coffee and espresso. Just a feast for the palate. But also the ambiance is great - except that in the so cold California winter, it can be a bit chilly near the door.Update 1: Frequent returns have not lessened the positive impression at all. Rather the contrary: the more often I have been here, the more I like the setup with outdoor dining, great food and very nice service. Appetizers are all great, as are the salads, flatbreads, and plates... ... except the price appears to have gone up and really is a $$$ than a $$.Original review:What an unexpected jewel this was: hiding with its beautiful and very spacious interior and/or outdoor seating in midst of a rather murky neighborhood. But boy, it was worth it: delicious mezzes, fig and arugula flatbread, light hangar steak with lentils and lamb kebob with fabulous vegetables and spices, as well as the momo chips - all beautifully presented. And not to forget the cute dessert which is a bit too sweet and not really a tiramisu, but nonetheless an excellent finish, paired with a Turkish coffee with almond milk.
