"The spectacular Momed is tucked away in a residential neighborhood with subtle signage – this is not your typical looking restaurant, but the backyard oasis is a hidden Atwater Village treasure. Traditional Mediterranean cuisine with a modern twist…influences of Italy, Spain, Israel, Lebanon, Turkey and Morocco are felt in a divine menu that throws in a little California flare for the win. A perfect example is the addictive Avocado Hummus, which you can devour in a pleasant, casual setting with a lovely Egyptian Tile dominated aesthetic. Happy hour and brunch are not to be missed." - Brains on Fire
"Mediterranean spot Momed is back open in Atwater Village. They’ve got a big patio where you’ll eat lamb and beef meatballs with pine nuts, feta, pomegranate seeds, and tomato ragu, and excellent chicken skewers with chickpea aioli and tzatziki." - brett keating
"Every time we take someone new to Momed, they inevitably say something like, “Wait, how did I not know about this place”? Chalk it up to its location on a quiet industrial/residential side street, but this upscale Mediterranean spot remains deeply under the radar. And that’s despite having a gigantic, stunning patio and an all-around excellent menu. Start your meal with warm sourdough pita and stand-out sides like avocado hummus and sweet muhammara, then end with juicy flat-iron beef shish and a spicy jidori chicken." - sylvio martins, brant cox
"Brunch at this loungey Mediterranean spot feels like we’re at some kind of all-inclusive resort. And while you won’t have to deal with the sound of screaming children at the pool at this Atwater Village restaurant, you can still enjoy the sunny weather with their cabana seating and great outdoor bar. The food here also happens to be quite tasty with an Eastern Mediterranean and North African menu that showcases flavors like bright citrus, fresh herbs, sumac, and sweet dates. Their shakshuka in particular stands out with its flavorful tomato sauce. The dish’s base has the sweetness of roasted bell pepper, plus some heat and tang from some aleppo pepper. The yogurt topping definitely comes in handy when the aleppo’s spice sneaks up on us, and we like the choice of charred sourdough on the side for dipping." - sylvio martins
"Every self-respecting Eastside neighborhood needs one, breezy Mediterranean restaurant with a carefully curated design plan that makes you feel like you’re an extra in Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again! This place used to be in Beverly Hills but is now in a huge space on Casitas Ave., complete with cabana seating, a full bar, and long communal tables. The food is broadly Mediterranean, with dishes like avocado hummus, grilled lamb chops, and a whole-roasted orate that’s bathed in a lemon, herby sauce we wish we could bathe in. But what you’re here for are the laidback vibes and channeling your best Meryl Streep with a tan." - arden shore, sylvio martins, brant cox
