    Very high quality Lebanese food. Second time going there this fall. Atmosphere is very French Bistro casual. Grilled octopus special was outstanding. Meat dishes also very good. Like most of NJ it’s BYOB. If you forget, plenty of stores nearby.

    Food was great! Just remind them not to rush when you’re still deciding on what to order or while eating you can tell them not to check on you after a certain amount of time.

    We had a wonderful evening at Uncle Momo. The food was delicious and the place has a great vibe. We particularly enjoyed the lamb tangine. The babaganoush and stuffed grape leaves were also excellent.

    We are regulars at Momo’s. The lamb and the salmon are the best. We recently tried the grilled octopus amazing

    Even though I had a reservation for 6 and specified outside they didn’t have a table ready. They put it together rather quickly though. Sitting outside was nice, quiet and there was a guitar player singing music on the Friday evening we came. It wasn’t too loud, it was nice background music. I ordered the mix grill. It was just okay. The sausage was way too spicy, they should warn you on the menu. Also very small and skinny. The chicken kabab was juicy though the flavor was just okay. The lamb kanban was fine. The lamb chops were scrawny. One didn’t even have the bone and was room temperature. It was all over jasmine rice with a tomato sauce that tasted like ketchup to me. I wouldn’t order it again. My husband liked his veggie moussaka but it had way too many chickpeas in it. And also didn’t really taste like a moussaka that I’m used to, the more Greek version. It’s byob and the waitress was really nice opening the bottles and brining the glassware. The owner checked in on us too. Service and atmosphere were good but I wasn’t crazy about the food so probably wouldn’t return.
