Momos - Feel North Africa with its tagines and delightful birthday celebrations!

MOMO (http://momoresto.com) is a Moroccan restaurant located at 25, Heddon street, London W1B 4BH. Renowned for its North African and Mediterranean cuisine, one can't resist but to fall over its Tagines. The rates on the expensive side; however the place is a must visit for its ambience and feel - a high on recommendation for your london trip
This place is great for its absolute moroccan experience - lights, glasses and tagines! Mojito, or The Momo Special as they call it, served was refreshing; however the taste buds rose upto aromatic CHICKEN TAGINE. Tagine is basically north african dish named after special earthernware pot in which it is cooked. This clay pot has it flat circular base supporting a cone shaped structure on the top.

As a fantasy, I tried WOOD PIGEON PASTILLA (refer picture above left); however felt it on a sweeter side. Vegetarians may have less options and BRIOUATS may end up as being plain Samosas. The desserts are nice as well; although if you are in a group ask for a cake and that too a birthday cake

The highlight of the night was birthday celebration at Momos. Lights go off, music picks up, the crew holds the cake in a tray and dances from the kitchen to your table and makes you and the group dance as well. If the cultural feel wasn't enough, make a visit to the washroom and disc at the cellar. The washroom is along a narrow aisle which gives you a dungeon-like feel (refer picture on right)

P.S.: Seating options may not be comfortable for large groups
