Came by for a late afternoon lunch. The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere. The employees were very professional and attentive! The service was quick and the food was excellent. The hummus was perfect, it’s a must when you stop by. Highly recommend visiting, won’t regret it!

A surprising (early) reunion with friend in high school, and also my first time eating Lebanese cuisine. It was such a wonderful coincidence that we were both traveling in New York City area, and both staying in Jersey City!
LAMB TAJINE: To be honest, it’s very similar to the lamb leg in Xinjiang-style pilaf. I’d only ever had Moroccan tagine before, and this one was comparingly less seasoned, with less emphasis on spices or sauces, highlighting the natural flavor of the lamb. The lamb leg was in quite a big portion, stewed until tender and easily falling off the bone. The dried apricots and dates provided a mellow and rich aroma, combining with the saltiness and lamb fat to create a subtle sweetness–just right. After two hours of standing in the wind by the Hudson River on a cold, rainy winter day, this dish was truly comfort food.
GRILLED OCTOPUS: The octopus was fresh and firm in texture, grilled and then dipped into sour cream. The sourness was very pronounced, so it’s best to use it sparingly, otherwise it might mask the octopus’s natural sweetness.
BABAGANOUSH: Reputedly a classic appetizer from the Levant. The roasted eggplant had a rich smoky flavor, and when mashed, it became even softer, smoother, and more delicate. Lemon juice added a bright, fruity acidity, while olive oil provides a subtle, refreshing base, creating a harmonious and layered flavor profile. Tearing apart a thin piece of freshly baked pita bread and dip it in the mixture, the aroma of roasted wheat complements the smoky flavor, and the chewy crust pairs perfectly with the smooth texture. It was a delicious and appetizing appetizer, but it should be eaten quickly, as the pita bread becomes dry and hard once it cools down.
MOUSSAKA VEGGIE: I only realized I forgot to take a picture after I finished eating… This stew, made with eggplant, tomatoes, and chickpeas, was unimaginably served cold. The olive oil flavor was also strong, but it felt like the natural flavors of the three ingredients were overwhelmed by the oil. There’s a Chinese saying, “One good heat beats three seasonings,” which is especially true for stews; I’m not accustomed to this way of serving.
VIRGIN MOJITO / STRAWBERRY: A very refreshing drink. Besides the sweetness of the strawberries and the tartness of the lemon, I also really liked the slight coolness from the mint leaves.

I was looking for vegetarian options so that everyone at work could enjoy and Uncle Momo’s has plenty to choose from. Everyone at work loved their food.
Aside from their delicious dishes, I also liked the ease, efficiency and transparency which I experienced when placing the catering order. I highly recommend Uncle Momo’s.

The best french toast I’ve ever had, and my first time trying Tunisian Eggs which were absolutely amazing! The photo doesn’t capture how amazing the french toast looked as my friend immediately starting digging into it but. The eggs come with fresh made pita, deliciously seasoned home fries, and arugula salad.

My husband and I finally got a date night out and decided to try the new Uncle Momo restaurant in downtown Denville. It did not disappoint! The atmosphere was quaint with the decor transporting you to a European cafe. The lentil soup with the caramelized onions was delicious, as well as our entrees. Prices were fair with the added bonus of BYOB! Looking forward to coming back and trying their brunch!

We passed by on a windy day and found the outdoor patio to be quite warm – though there wasn’t any shade protecting against the sun
The grilled octopus was nice, but their vegetables were quite burnt
The lamb tajine was somewhat small, but was very tender and fell off the bone. The ouzi chicken filled with rice and was a bit on the dry side.

Had a great experience at Uncle Momo. The food was fantastic and the service was excellent. I tried the lamb, and it was absolutely delicious—tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. And whatever you do, don’t skip the baklava—flaky, sweet, and the perfect way to end the meal. I’ll definitely be back!

Douglas was the star of the evening! He was an amazing host and an even better person who recommended the best dishes. I highly suggest to come to this best 10/10. The food and the vibe is absolutely on point.

I eat here pretty regularly, it’s one of my favorite spots in jersey city. You can’t go really wrong with the menu but my favorites are the house special grilled octopus and their Momo maze platter. Their dips with their soft fresh baked bread is an awesome starter. And their octopus is perfectly cooked. They don’t skimp for what you pay either two big tentacles on top of hummus and delicious grilled vegetables. For brunch I get the smoked salmon Swiss cheese crepe – it’s all just outstanding. Lamb tajine is also a winner
