⭐ Rating: 7.5/10 – Solid spot, would order again.
🍽️ What to Get: The ultimate sharing meat platter for four (+ a side of fish if you want balance).
💰 Cost: £42 for four people (£10.50 per head) – amazing value for a proper feast.
🔥 Verdict: Hearty, home-style Yemeni food that’s generous, flavorful, and perfect for sharing. Ideal for a post-gig or post-night-out meal. Would definitely recommend!
Some meals just hit the spot. You know, the kind of food that doesn’t just feed you but PROPER sorts you out. Hearty, no-fuss, belly-warming goodness. And in Birmingham, after a long night of stand-up, that place for me is Momo’s, a Yemeni joint that has officially earned its place as my go-to post-gig feast.
This time, I rolled up (or rather, stayed put) with Nabil and my comedy promoter Altaf (BIG foodies, SERIOUS eaters). And what did we order? The ultimate sharing meat platter for four… plus a side of fish, because balance, am I right?
Here’s the thing: I’ve never actually been to Momo’s. I have no clue what the restaurant looks like. It could be an elegant candlelit dining space, or it could have obscure neon signs all over the place.... Truth be told, I have no idea. But what I do know is that when that food arrives, it looks like someone’s Yemeni Jadda (Nene if you're Turkish or nan if you're British) has spent all day in the kitchen, cooking up a proper family meal just for us.
It all comes piled onto a massive tin foil platter, which gives it that “just threw a huge BBQ” aesthetic. It’s messy, it’s generous, it’s the kind of food that brings people together, the sharing food you actually want to share (unlike, say, fries… those are never up for negotiation).
The meat was ridiculously tender, seasoned to perfection, and proper filling—no tiny portions here. And let’s talk numbers: £42 for four people. That’s £10.50 a head for an absolute feast. In the UK, that’s what? The price of a sad Pret sandwich, a drink, and the realisation that you’ve made a poor financial decision?
If a film got a 7.5 out of 10, you’d say, "Yeah, solid movie, would recommend." That’s exactly what I’d say about Momo’s. Solid spot, would order again.
For My Turkish Audience...
If you’re reading this in Turkey, imagine a massive kebab spread—like a mangal feast, but Yemeni-style. Think lamb so soft it basically apologises for making you chew, flavours that punch but don’t overwhelm, and that comforting, home-cooked warmth you get from a proper home-style meal.
Final Verdict?
Momo’s is the real deal. If you’re in Birmingham and need a post-gig, post-night-out, or just post-existential-crisis meal, this is the spot.
Would I recommend it?
Yes.
Would I actually go to the restaurant one day?
Maybe.
Will I continue to order the massive tin foil platter and pretend someone’s nan cooked for me?
Absolutely.
