Momed

When I heard the former chef from 71 Above was now here, I had to give it a try. I consider myself to be a good amateur chef, but dining here was a master class on why I’m an amateur. Everything was perfection! There were so many layers of finely balanced flavors in every bite. All the details were splendidly attended and the result was a testament to the chef’s artistry and love of food. We started with the crispy squash blossoms. They were served with a mint leaf and a bit of honey. The dab of honey meant there was not too much sweetness and the mint leaf precisely complemented the floral tones. The cheese filling provided just the right saltiness and they were crisped without feeling deep fried. The khachapuri was a delight. The crust was soft and thick with a salty-herbed finish. I’d eat just the crust and be happy, but the filling was outstanding. There was a (not too) spicy sauce, some Armenian sausage, an egg, and gooey cheese. We cut small pieces off the crust and dipped it like fondue until the filling firmed up enough to cut pieces. Yum! The Benedict was heaven on a plate. A hearty whole grain toast held a thick piece of fried pork belly, tomato, a perfectly poached egg, and flawless hollandaise. The egg yolk was a dark orange like a Japanese egg and medium cooked to that sweet spot between runny and gel. The hollandaise had bright lemon notes that balanced the richness of the pork belly and yolk. Maybe the best Benedict I’ve had, and I’ve tried a lot of them. For dessert (not that we needed it) we had the profiteroles. A light and airy puff pastry shell filled with a pistachio gelato and drizzled with chocolate. The gelato was full of pistachios and felt more like a mixture of gelato and frozen pistachio butter. Like everything else we had there, it was oh, so good. I very highly recommend dining at Momed. If there were 6 stars, I’d give it. The pricing was very reasonable ($20-25 for an entree), and I could see it being a good value for more. I came away full, but not stuffed, so the portion sizes were spot on. This will rise to a prominent place on my list of great LA eateries.

I was worried it would be over hyped, but I have to say the avocado hummus and sour dough pita bread was very good as was all the grilled vegetables and salads we tried. We didn't try too many meats, the crispy lamb ribs were disappointing, I imagine the entrees are good we just didn't have many. Restaurant is not vegan but is vegan friendly . The cocktails are conceptually interesting, not amazing, but thankfully strong. Venue is open space outdoors, something I enjoy very much however the back is literally up against train tracks, if you're sensitive to sudden loud noises, be aware. Overall it was refreshing good. I very much enjoyed my meal especially since someone else paid for it. Had I paid for my own meal, I'd imagine that the price is quite steep since the portions are small, you need to order more than you think to be full.

SIMPLY FANTASTIC- I had not been to Momed in about seven years (I have been missing out). Just went for my mother in laws birthday dinner. It is as amazing as I remember it. From the ambiance upon entering, you’re in for a treat. For four people we ordered to split the Avocado Hummus, the Carrots, Beets, whipped feta, the duck liver, broccolini, and the chicken wings. It was the right amount of food. We ended the evening splitting the baklava pudding dessert. Half price bottles of wine on Tuesday (large selection to pick from). Will be back soon!

Momed is a charming hidden gem that’s cozy, welcoming, and wonderfully pet-friendly. The ambiance is delightful, making it a perfect spot for a relaxed evening. The Mediterranean food was decent, though not extraordinary, but the drinks truly stood out and were absolutely fantastic. Dessert was okay, but the overall experience was elevated by our amazing server, who was attentive and friendly. I’m already planning a return visit to check out their brunch! Definitely a 5-star spot for its vibe, drinks, and hospitality.

You would not expect the food and atmosphere if you were to simply drive by. This hidden gem offers Farm to Table excellence. Find yourself in a cozy setting with great food and generous portions.

Such a beautiful restaurant with plenty of space and gorgeous vibes! They had a lovely cocktail selection and my mocktail was really pretty. Our server was very helpful and provided a lot of suggestions. The beets and whipped feta were the best appetizers. We also had the mushrooms and cabbage for our entree which had unique flavors. We finished with the rhubarb crisp and pavlova which was so great. Awesome experience!

Came for weekend lunch/brunch. Really great atmosphere from the start. Plenty of parking available as well. As well as parking available on the street. Extensive menu with many drinks, and food options. They also have coffee but not on the menu. They can make lattes etc. we had a really great experience. Food was great. Service was great. Will definitely be back!

Momed is more than a restaurant. It is a destination worthy of repeated visits. The food is hearty and gracious as well as sophisticated. It’s a welcomed respite from the day to day routine, and the offering is well worth the visit. Happy hour is a great taste of the Mediterranean and a hand crafted cocktail will make you wonder why you haven’t spent more time in the beautiful atmosphere of this lovely place.
