Best Authentic Restaurants in Eagle Rock

Momed is one of the great gems in LA. From the moment you walk through the entry with the Mediterranean kitchen on full display, to the open seating area warm and inviting. You instantly fall in love with Momed. The bar is the setting where you want to camp out and try any of the hand-crafted cocktails with the sumac chicken wings and grab an order of the cauliflower, too; the rice flour-based tempura is mind-blowing. Dinner at Momed is exceptional, too- starting with the Muhammara, the fermented pepper paste with the house-made sourdough pita is life-changing. You can't go wrong with anything on the small bites list; the smoked labni in the roasted beets is mouth-watering. For your main course, try everything, but the short rib with the zhoug is a go-to every time for me, and the striped bass is also fantastic. Momed will become your favorite spot as it has mine.

This lovely restaurant never fails to please. I had dinner there last night with a friend from out of town. She had the rabbit on the menu, and it was delicious. Rabbit is NEVER easy to find on any menu or in the markets. So it was a real treat. I had to Branzino and it was also wonderful.

french toast, waffle & chicken, and chilaquiles are amazingly good and full of flavor. chicken wasn’t dry, steak was perfectly cooked and the fresh fruit on the french toast was perfect. cocktails are made to perfection and not bitter, the house lemonade was my personal favorite. waitress was attentive and quick to bring what was needed to the table. service never fails when it comes to HOME!! love this place so much, i always recommend to friends and family.

Great pick after visiting the Enchanted Forest of Lights at Descanso Gardens. Friendly, knowledgeable service able to help our 'wine guy' get the flavors he was seeking. We (4) selected a few tapas and an entree, decided we needed one more dish and everyone enjoyed all the variety and felt they had enough to eat. Food came out with relaxed spacing. Even on a drizzly night the covered patio with heat lamps was comfortable.

We have been coming here for years to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, and other special occasions. Everything is always delicious and fresh, service is great, and there’s always ample space.
