    It's seldom that I am in Waldorf. Okay, that's probably never that I am in Waldorf but the James E. Richmond Science Center was down the road with a special screening of Beautifica by James Hood. A few friends and I gathered for dinner at Momi's before the evening show. You might be a little confused as to how it works but that's okay. We all were. You start by placing your order and then you're asked to sit at a table. Actually, a sign tells you that the toppings area is not for waiting and that you are expected to wait elsewhere. It was not a terrible wait when you have friends but I would place an online order ahead of time if I were doing a pick up. Sometimes a wait only means your food is being prepared fresh. And this was the case here. I got the lamb kabob fare which came with pita and five toppings. My toppings were the beets, cucumbers, corn, cabbage, and pickles. I have to admit that I may have gone too far on the pickle scale as almost all my toppings were on the vinegary briney side. I almost couldn't finish the last of the pickles because they were too briney! We all thought the servers were trying to give us extra toppings. They kept asking if we wanted this or that and they even added extra cucumbers to my plate once I stopped at the designated five toppings. After selecting my five toppings, I was asked if I wanted any yogurt and hummus. Sure, why not. I have no idea if they were included in what I paid. Then the last question was do I want the sauce to be hot or not. I said not and got a drizzle of green sauce on my lamb kabobs. And when I was handed my plate, I was given a blessing. And how can you not smile and thank your server! The lamb kabob was nicely prepared and soft. It was worth the wait. I enjoyed all my toppings and if I ever come back, I will try some of the other toppings. The french fries were really hot upon pick up at the counter but nice and crisp. (Note: one of my friends ordered the beef burger and as he proceeded to put some mayo on it from a packet, the mayo was solid.) Parking: Plentiful

    This place stands out in a bland shopping center in a bland town. It is a sort of fast casual; one places an order at the register and then waits a bit for them to get it started, before getting called to select some toppings. Their selection of fresh toppings was fantastic, and I think I indulged the people working there on it, but ended up with a fantastic wrap. Their falafel is distinctively spiced, and they had flaming hot sauce, house made hummus, and an excellent variety of fresh and preserved vegetables. They did not have a whole lot else on the menu (at least from a vegetarian perspective) and I always feel a little weird getting falafel without fries, but I could not realistically expect a better sandwich that the one I received here.

    Momi's is absolutely delicious and I wish I lived closer. The chicken is addictive. Everything is so fresh and flavorful. The staff are super friendly and you can tell that they really care. The meat is grilled fresh to order so there's a little bit of a wait, but I never mind. The platters with vegetables, rice, and chickpeas have always been excellent. Portions are generous. There aren't a ton of good options in this area but Momi's is definitely one and I always look forward to returning.

    I will make a detour to specifically eat at this location. The warmth and excellent customer service, along with fresh top of the line offerings, is a combo that can't be beat. Mediterranean food cooked to perfection. We ordered two meals to go. One vegetarian plate showcasing the Falafel Balls and the second Lamb and Beef Kebabs. Simple deliciousness. I can't wait to go back and try the rest of the items on the menu.

    Went back yesterday again because I really loved the food the first time. The service was amazing like before which is always great when going into a restaurant. I will definitely be coming back!

    I had the absolute pleasure of visiting this adorable new Middle Eastern spot, and I'm already obsessed! It has a super fun and easy Chipotle-style setup--you pick a base and then choose 5 fresh, homemade ingredients to build your own delicious bowl or plate. It's perfect for customizing your meal, and every option is honestly better than the last. I went with a coworker who is Middle Eastern, and they immediately said it was the best Middle Eastern food they've had in the area--which says a lot! Every single ingredient tasted so fresh and flavorful, and you could truly tell it's all made from scratch with love. The owner is the sweetest person ever--so kind and welcoming, and he made us feel right at home. His whole family was there helping out too, and they were just as lovely. You can really feel the heart and soul behind this place. If you're looking for something casual, fresh, and absolutely delicious, this spot is it. It's like a Middle Eastern Chipotle--but a thousand times better. Go now before the secret's out!

    Lamb Kabob
    Zach S.

    Let's start with the absolutely phenomenal-- the food. Grabbed the Lamb Kabob, rice, tabbouleh, chickpeas, and multiple salads with their hot sauce. The absolute freshness of the ingredients cannot be described in words. The flavors all work together perfectly, and as someone who spend years in the Middle East, it is pretty damn authentic. Now only two small things -- the ambiance is very cafeteria-esque. Now I only care about the taste of the food, but I know some people will be turned off by it. They also don't have a menu visible, which makes ordering a bit of a process. Definitely would have tried the Shwarma if I had seen it before ordering. Overall, some of the best food I've had in Waldorf and will be a must try every time I'm in town.

    We love this place. The good is great - really healthy, and always a hit with the whole family. I have two kids, 8 and 4 years old, and this is easily their favorite restaurant. The owner and the staff are always so nice to us, and do a great job of making us feel welcome.

    Kids Shawarma

    Passed by this establishment while starving and decided to pop in and see what it was all about! Normally, I pull a quick review up to read but it had already been nearly 7 hours since I last ate! So, I took a chance! I'm currently on a primarily clean food journey. So, this was right on time and they did NOT disappoint! I ended up getting my food and eating inside vs to go because I wasn't going to make it back to VA without passing out like a fainting goat from lack of food! The space is very large inside for seating and the parking lot has ample space! Pricing was not expensive and you get a lot of food for what you pay! I ended up ordering a kids Shawarma plate and a couple of falafel balls! When you order, you stand back until they call your number and then you come up to the counter to tell them what you want as your toppings. I must have had a lost look on my face (or a look of fatigue from hunger) because the guy decided to make my bowl w/his suggestions, with my blessings, of course. I appreciated that because I was overwhelmed and starving already! I ended up with white meat shawarma and subbed chickpeas vs getting rice. The toppings. Idek. Some cucumber tomato, onions, red cabbage, hummus, yogurt sauce, something spicy, turkish salad (?), and some cauliflower. A couple of other things but I forget! Everything was sooooo freaking fresh and delicious that I ordered another kid's meal to go after I finished the first one! Don't judge me! The pita was light and tasty and went well with the toppings. While I dont live close by being Im in VA, I will definitely make a point to stop by for dinner/lunch whenever I'm back in the area! It's worth the drive and I dont have the guilt of eating some bad fried food full of who knows what! The customer service here was so wonderful and they seem to know their "regulars", too. That was a positive to witness in person. They care about their customers for sure!

    The experience begins well before the front door. Even from the parking lot, the aromas drifting…read morefrom the kitchen set expectations high, rich, savory, and unmistakably inviting. It's the kind of sensory preview that makes you quicken your step. The restaurant is bookable via Resy, making it an easy choice for those looking to apply dining credits from American Express Gold or Platinum cards, always a welcome convenience when planning a night out. Despite being a weekday, the dining room was notably busy, buzzing with the energy of what feels like a family-run establishment. There's a warmth to the atmosphere, personal, lived-in, and authentic, that suggests a loyal local following. That said, it was clear the crowd may have slightly outpaced staffing levels. While the service itself was courteous and attentive, there were noticeable delays with drinks and refills, understandable, though worth mentioning. We started with the Southern Maryland Crab Dip, which delivered solid flavor and a generous blend of cheese and crab. I would have welcomed a bit more artichoke heart for balance, and perhaps an additional slice or two of bread. With only four slices provided, the ratio leaned heavily in favor of the dip, fortunate in abundance, but impractical in execution, as even those slices were quickly overwhelmed. The Chicken Kabob proved to be a reliable and satisfying choice, tender, well-seasoned, and thoughtfully plated. The accompanying sides of sautéed broccoli and grilled zucchini were properly portioned, with the zucchini sliced just thick enough to retain its texture and flavor. When deciding between the Makaronia Me Kima, Basil Pesto, Galazio Special Carbonara, and Pastitsio, I deferred to the waiter's recommendation. Without hesitation, he pointed to the Pastitsio, a choice that paid off. Comforting and familiar, it's a dish many have enjoyed in different forms without necessarily knowing its proper name. The portion was generous enough to leave me with leftovers, which made for an excellent lunch the following day. Dessert brought the evening to a high note with the Greek Chocolate Mousse Cake. Lighter than expected, it avoided the density often associated with chocolate desserts while still delivering richness and satisfaction. The portion was ample and easily shareable. Overall, it was a very good dining experience, welcoming, flavorful, and largely well-executed. One small disappointment, however, came in the form of a missed detail. When booking, the reservation notes requested acknowledgment of my GF's birthday, not a complimentary dessert or special treatment, just a simple candle to mark the occasion. Unfortunately, it went unnoticed. It's a minor thing in the grand scheme, but one that matters in moments meant to be remembered. Had I known it wouldn't be honored, I would have brought a candle myself. That aside, the experience was still a positive one. I would recommend the restaurant and expect to return. With just a bit more attention to the finer details, it could easily elevate itself from good to truly memorable.

    This was my third time coming to this restaurant, and I honestly couldn't believe the service and…read morefood quality this time around. When I walked in, the host -- who was not very friendly -- asked how many were in my party. I said "1," and she immediately told me I would have to sit at the bar, even though there were several open tables. I politely asked if I could sit at one of the two-top tables, but she said no because they were for reservations. I explained that I preferred not to sit at the bar. Looking back, I probably should have left then, but I was hungry, so I stayed. Once seated, I asked for the crab dip, only to find out they no longer had it. I then ordered the lamb chops, which I had enjoyed during my previous two visits. This time, however, they came out extremely pink and undercooked. I was shocked. The waitress told me they "don't cook them well done," but offered to take them back and have them cooked a little longer. Unfortunately, when they returned, they were still pink/red and literally bleeding. The waitress then said she was going to get "Mama" from the back. I told her that wasn't necessary if the restaurant simply does not prepare lamb chops well done anymore. I was very disappointed and didn't realize things had changed over the last few months. Overall, the customer service was poor, and the food quality was nowhere near what I experienced during my previous visits. The pictures shown are from when she brought them back to me.

This was the same with both calzones. The one I ordered with pineapple had all of the toppings I asked for but my wife's, who had ordered sausage in hers, was missing the sausage. We mentioned to our server that there was no sausage in the calzone my wife had asked for and they offered us a free tiramisu cake in addition to removing the cost for the sausage. The sauce didn't have the same zip to it as it did the first day I went there. A huge difference in a matter of mere weeks. Not so sure I want to take the chance again at this establishment.

My only critique was that the protein serving size was smaller than I expected for the price. Overall, a great, healthier option for lunch or dinner in the area!

This establishment seems to be Egyptian owned, as the walls claim that Egyptians created bread, cupcakes and falafel. The service was fine, though the tables could have been cleaner.

I got spicy rice with spicy chicken, and for my toppings I got Mediterranean salad, hummus, and tzaziki. I didn't realize you could also get white sauce, green sauce, etc, so I probably wouldn't get tzaziki and get olives or something else next time.

I also got tiramisu which they recommended over all the other "cupcakes" which they claim (via the wall) is Egyptian. The tiramisu was surprisingly good. There was soft music that seems Arabic-speaking. They have fountain drinks as well as bottled beverages. They also include a service charge - it was like $0.42 for me. I don't regret stopping by, but I wish my stomach was more settled. I just came from a restorative yoga class and I was thoroughly at peace.

    GO HERE. I've been charging near here for a while now and we've always gone to the other…read morerestaurants nearby. But, I've always made a comment about wanted to try this place. Well, this time we actually tried it. I'm a simple caveman - we've got a bowl with basmati rice, chicken AND lamb/beef gyro, tahini, and hummus. Hits the damn spot. Fountain drinks, combo options, cups for water, and bottled drinks. You go down the line, say what you want (like every fast casual these days), and end up at the register. Fast operation. Plenty of seating indoors.
