Momo

Surrealistic experience to say the least. We got asked 3 times if we wanted to have water with our meal as we were sitting down, so we told our waitress (very politely) that we did not want any. Next thing we had our 'main' waiter telling us off, as he said we had upset her! Then he told us off for calling him with our hand and not by his name!! Surreal to say the least. I thought the food was lovely but I really believe some of the staff need a reality check!

We were there on a Saturday night. There was no space in the restaurant but we decided to go downstairs, where you can eat tapas. The staff were very nice and friendly. Great atmosphere and food. Really a fine place to eat and have a good time.

Had a great night! Staff very friendly, and I thought the portions were very generous (we couldn't finish our meals). Was loud and lively - great for a group night out, but perhaps not the kind of place for a romantic dinner.

Although the atmosphere is good, the food was very disappointing. The dishes that were trying to be more innovative were generally unexciting and the food itself dull. There are far better and cheaper places to eat Moroccan food in London.

Momo was a fantastic restaurant a few years ago, but not any more in my opinion. Firstly, I really don't like the minimum order rule. The food isn't cheap and the portions are not big either, so anyone who eats here will order enough - hence minimum order rule is ridiculous. The waitresses/waiters are very nice but the person on reception is always very rude and ill-mannered. Ambiance and decor is great but it can get extremely noisy, to a point where you are actually shouting to your guests. Food used to be great but last time I visited it failed to impress me.

Despite advice not to go, I thought I would try it out any way. Sadly, I learnt the hard way. The manager is enough of a reason not to come here, but there are a lot of other reasons...

Staff were inattentive throughout the evening. It was unbelieveably hot, and to make matters worse we were sat near the kitchen section. Only two toliets = ridiculous queues. The food was OK, but a small menu. Be prepared to sit through several theatrical performances throughout the evening as people's birthdays are celebrated with a ritual dance by the circus lead staff! Awful.

Good, lively place. Went there with a group of 8 work colleagues and it went down well.

Fabulous! Fantastic food, smell, decor, kindness... It really has a flavour of Marrakesh about it - even the toilet is great, in the dark, with a bit of light that makes it more intimate.

I always go to Momo when I'm in London. The lamb tagine is my favourite dish.

Disappointing! I had previously dined here and was suitably impressed - the food and atmostphere were great! Last night I took some friends there hoping for a repeat performance - and was sorely disappointed. The food and atmosphere are still fantastic, but to be brought our coats at the end of the meal without our asking is a tad too rude - there are ways of dealing with two sittings, but this is definitely NOT one of them! We had been there less than 2 hours in total; when it was mentioned to the staff upon leaving, it was met with indifference.

Really wasn't impressed - won't be going back there again! For the prices charged you do expect superior service. They shouldn't be so arrogant to think this doesn't matter...

Momo is the typical London restaurant that's built a reputation and now they're cashing in on it. Our pushy waitress was constantly over our heads trying to sell, sell, sell! We didn't manage to relax for a moment because she was always asking if we wanted more wine (while the bottle was still full), if we wanted the special cocktails, if we wanted to order more food (while we were still eating)... However, do not ask for tap water because you will die of dehydration! After 20 minutes they decided that they would bring a jug, fill a glass and take the jug away!! Can you believe it?!

When we asked to go downstairs (we've been there before without being 'members') the floor manager decided to be difficult and said he was going to "think about it". I don't know why we bothered to get dressed up for Momo's because the so-called members down at the bar were the worst dressed people I've seen.

The attitude and standard of service from people who earn half my salary ruined our lovely food. AND 13% service charge - my backside!! Definitely not going back. Instead we're going to Morocco in February.

Food was wonderful at Momo. I really liked the atmosphere as well. It was someone's birthday when I went there, and instead of doing a lame birthday cheers, the staff really worked the whole crowd and played some amazing music. However, if you want a quiet meal, this is not the place to go to!

I was at Momo on Valentines Day 2003 with my boyfriend. It was an amazing vibe and the staff were great! Live music and dancers and some well known celebs. The only thing that wasn't that great was the food, but the whole atmosphere was good so it was definitely worth it!

It was simply great... Impressed!

Always tasty, but sometimes too noisy.

Amazing atmosphere, cozy and chic. Very good service, very good food.

Good choice for a large group of friends or colleagues - we had a round table which encouraged sharing and we enjoyed out meal very much. It was a bit on the busy side and service occasionally suffered, but we might just have been unlucky on our visit. There's a great bar downstairs as well, but it's not easy to get into - members only, I think.

I love this restaurant as it has a wonderful atmosphere, beautiful and very authentic Moroccan decor (lanterns, lattice work, and sparkling glass). Food was also as good as I had recently experienced in Marrakech. This is such a cool place to take a date or hold your birthday dinner.
