Momo
Waterford
04/05/2026: Superb in every regard. The rack of lamb was perfection and the gravy was lush. Atmosphere was comfortable with a quiet buzz, no loud music or obnoxious patrons. Kind of gave a New England vibe. Wait staff was awesome and it was great talking to them after the meal as well.
Genuinely couldn't recommend it more, just make sure you book reservations early.
02/05/2026: We were absolutely blown away by the food, staff and atmosphere at Momos. It’s was easily the best meal we’ve had and are still thinking about it the next day.
We loved the good quality local ingredients which contributed to the incredible flavours. Everything was cooked beautifully and every detail in the restaurant was perfect.
The staff were super attentive and very friendly. Also special thank you to Camile for giving us some great recommendations for around the city! Can’t recommend enough!
