Momo’s

Why even bother with Momo’s when Zaytoon is just a bit further up the street? I’m pretty sure you’ll regret it.

Not the worlds greatest kebab house, or even a real kebab house. Momo’s serve drunk people food, and although they rarely have an unsatisfied customer, it wouldn’t be my first choice.

Momo’s wouldn’t be my favourite spot for an after club chipper. Now don’t get me wrong, at 3am, I’d eat cardboard, but put it his way — I wouldn’t eat there while sober.
It’s no more a kebab house than my apartment is a kebab house, but it does kebab’s. Its more of akebab chipper than a Zaytoon kebab kinda place — not the real deal, but still tasty.

I visited the Liffey Street branch of Momo’s, but I’m sure they’re all exactly the same so will continue on from Cathal’s review.
Madness, but I actually tried Momo’s SOBER. This is unheard of for me, I don’t like kebabs even when I’m drunk, let alone when I’m teetotalling, but for some reason, last week I just felt like a kebab.
We tried the chicken nan and it was actually pretty decent. The bread was lovely, the sauce was mega spicy, and they threw in a drink, all for around a fiver. It was a very satisfying and filling meal. And the Liffey St branch has a diner-​type restaurant, so if you please you can sit in the ugly 80s-​style wooden mirrored room and watch the kebab artists weave their magic.
For someone who doesn’t usually like this type of food I was taken aback… this really wasn’t that bad!

Momo’s Kebab House on Aungier St is another of the after club haunts. But whereas Hot Chilli has seating and as such can be the scene of more civilised meals, Momo’s is exclusively a lean against-​a-​pillar-​with-​hot sauce-​running-​down-​your-​chin type of affair.
Which is perfectly well and good, there are some that would argue that this is the only way to eat a kebab properly and that such fripperies as chairs and plates and cutlery are heresy. It’s nice to have the option of sitting down, though.
Momo’s do really perfectly adequate kebabs, and they also serve fare that some of the more authentic places wouldn’t, such as sausage kebabs (Mmm). But in terms of the quality of the food, Momo’s is definitely pipped by both Hot chilli and Zaytoon.
Momo’s is pretty good for what it is, but you probably wouldn’t get a kebab there unless you were pissed.
