Reviews for Uncle Momo in Montclair, NJ

It's a quaint little restaurant, service was pretty good they were friendly and welcoming. However they lost Stars on the price... and the food. I would not mind paying over $30 for lamb if it had indeed tasted amazing, but it was undercooked, sitting in itsown juices and not a nice suace or gravy. I was so disappointed and couldn't even finish half of it. Would never return Read more

The zaatar was alright, too thin a dough and got dry by the time it was delivered. The falafel wrap was soggy and the falafel... dough wasn’t tasty. Read more

I had such high hopes for this place after reading the reviews for a great lunch or brunch spot. I could not have a had a more... different experience. Just wasn’t for us. The place is completely different than photos. In reality the space feels like athrift store. The atmosphere leaves a lot to be desired. Musty, sticky, stale. There was a musty smell and I had a hard timeeating in that place. The food was not bad but not great. Just couldn’t get over the yucky atmosphere. The dank space, yuck. Read more

We went there as a large group of 18 people close to their kitchen closing at 2:30pm. We called them up earlier and they allowed... us to pre order food. The service was efficient and the food was very tasty. We ordered Falafel platter, shawarma platters, lambtagines, hummus, labne, lamb pizza. Read more

Another local joint I wanted to like. Sadly it missed the mark on both the falafel and chicken. Falafel was clearly undercooked... and doughy inside. Unfortunately if you can’t get falafel right you don’t have much hope on other food. Read more

So we were waiting for another place and decided to not wait and eat here. BEST DECISION EVER. Ever go to brunch and over eat... and over drink and feel gross after? The food here is amaze balls! Perfectly balanced flavors. Just the right amount ofseasoning. I kind of didn’t want to leave a review so that it doesn’t get busy on the weekends and I can keep this place mypersonal secret. But this establishment deserves all of your business!! I died and went to yum heaven. Read more

Absolutely loved it! Sweet intimate, Euro feel, atmosphere with great food. It's BYOB. We had the lamb pizza a swarma. Homemade... pitas were the perfect compliment to our meal Read more
