So for the first visit, I got the pan seared salmon with the creamy rice, mac & cheese, and candied yams and everything was good. The salmon was seasoned and cooked like it was supposed to be cooked. On my second visit I got the same exact thing, but I really wanted to change out mac & cheese for the greens. This time they drop the ball on the salmon. It wasn’t seasoned and was overcooked.The mac and cheese needs to be revamped. The yams and rice was hitting. All in all, they told me to face they seasoned the salmon. It tasted liked it was dehydrated lol but hey I’m not a local so I ain’t got to worried about eating here NO MORE but yeah give it a try I just don’t have $40 waste.

Horrible Dining Experience! !! 1st time coming from a recommendation. And will never patronize this place again! Would recommend you don’t either!
Dining- In experience
- only guest in the restaurant upon arrival(3). Waited 2hrs for food to arrive , add an additional 1hr for a to-go order placed at the same time of dine-in orders.
- The wait was blamed on 1 guest allergy yet To-Go orders kept coming from kitchen. (I counted 6). There was a customer whom said they waited 1.5 for their ToGo Order.
- Additionally a couple came in 1hr after us. Were seated and served within 30mins of entering. I called out to the server and finally that preempted her to say sorry for the delay of our food, which took an additional 45mins.
- A safe cooking space for an allergy should never take an additional 2hr to clean and prepare. This is naturally apart of a restaurant business. Also allergy was made clear and accepted in the beginning.
- As we were tired of waiting, took small bites of food finally given and ask for to go containers. Only white styrofoam is giving to dine in customers. As the solid black, soufflé cups are preserved for online orders. This is senseless as ALL customers should receive proper storage containers. Needless to say I did not take my food.
- Server ordered the food she wanted not the one I explicitly showed an image of, she told me what the food was and still put in the wrong order. She apologized after a few minutes of discussion. Yet still received gratuity for lack of service.
Bottom line: Lack of Customer Service, Extensive time for food preparation, No accommodations is a major issue, a letter has been sent to BBB and Scene Cleveland.
Hope no one else has this experience. This was unacceptable.

Best meal I’ve had in a long time! Everything was seasoned to perfection. The vegetable rice and cabbage were amazing! Mac and cheese and broccoli was super good too! A few items weren’t available (jambalaya rice, greens, chicken alfredo) but will be back to try those. Def recommend this place, it’s at least an hour to get your food since everything is cooked to order, but was def worth the wait!!

Today was my lunch date with hubby. We wanted soul food so we chose to dine @Momo’s when we arrive @ 3:00 (this was our first visit here,)they were not open. I then called and asked are they going to open. A guys said yes in 5 min. He then comes outside to post their sign and told me that it would be an hour. We then said that’s fine. We entered the restaurant to place our order, the hostess was unfamiliar with what they had and what they didn’t.However he was RUDE!!!!! The owner Tasha then walked up to take care of us.She did a fantastic take over and comeback with our delicious meal and drinks. Thank You🌺Charisma

From the very first glance, this chicken Alfredo stands out as a hearty and satisfying dish. The presentation, even in a takeout container, is inviting—creamy Alfredo sauce generously coating the pasta, topped with tender slices of grilled chicken and a light sprinkle of parsley for freshness.
The pasta is cooked perfectly al dente, with each penne noodle holding just enough of the rich, velvety Alfredo sauce. The sauce itself is the star of the dish: creamy, smooth, and indulgent without being overly heavy. It has just the right balance of Parmesan cheesiness, creaminess, and a subtle garlic note that makes every bite comforting and flavorful.
The chicken is another highlight. Grilled to perfection, it’s juicy and well-seasoned, adding a savory contrast to the richness of the sauce. The light char on the outside provides a smoky depth of flavor, while the tender texture pairs beautifully with the pasta. Sprinkled herbs on top give a pop of color and add a subtle freshness that cuts through the creaminess.
What makes this dish truly excellent is its balance: the creamy sauce, the perfectly cooked pasta, and the flavorful chicken all work together in harmony. It’s filling, satisfying, and leaves you wanting another bite even after you’re full.
Whether enjoyed straight out of the takeout box or plated at home, this chicken Alfredo is comfort food at its finest. It’s the kind of meal that can turn a long day around and makes you appreciate the simple yet timeless combination of pasta, cream, and chicken done right.

Food was delicious, hot fresh and was seasoned to perfection. Portion size was on point as well.
Wait times could be a little better, but food was worth the wait.

Mac-not good at all. Had chewy texture (but the portion was generous)
Yams-good
Salmon tenders-okay. (Seemed a bit over cooked)
Creamy rice-good
**was it worth $28 ($44 because I used Uber Eats)- absolutely not. I wanted to try this spot because the food looked appealing, but it will be the 1st/last time for me. I waited 2 hrs for food that was OK.
