Marhaba!

Kick back, relax and capture the mood of the moment. We are a café and a bazaar, a la Marrakesh-souk-meets-Parisian-troquet style! From 12 noon ‘til 1am, savour our mint tea, if you’d like to do it at home, we give you the recipe below. You can also order Moroccan food at anytime, either on the terrace or inside Mo cafe...

For a sheesha pipe and its flavoured tobacco, please take a shiny blue seat on Momo’s outdoor terrace. Don’t forget to step inside before you leave: all the furniture in the café is on offer for sale; and we have some books, CDs and a few Antique jewels too...

“If you fancy the fittings at Momo’s lil’ bro’ Mo Café, buy them. Antique Maghrebi lanterns, tea sets, glassware & even the music are for sale. This gem tucked off Regent Street is inspired by the city of Marrakech. No exotic tearoom would be complete without melon or strawberry-flavoured sheesha, smoked from a theatrical ‘nargile’. Puffing on the heated terrace, with its jumble of pouffes & low tables, is more fun than it might sound – even in midwinter.”

“This Aladdin's cave interior is stunningly beautiful: a modern Moorish mish-mash of Moroccan brass lanterns, colourful rugs, wooden screen shutters, low seating, and candlelight (...) Finish with toothsome pastries and refreshing mint tea, which is poured theatrically from a great height. The timeless popularity of Momo proves that the intensely perfumed flavours of the Fez will always be fashionable”.
