Momed is one of those places I usually walk past whenever I’m in Beverly Hills – so glad Elana suggested we meet there for lunch today, otherwise, I may never have gone in!
Lots of outdoor seating…
…we opted to stay inside.
“Momed” stands for “Modern Mediterranean.” Pick something from the deli case or off their menu…
…grab a drink…
…and sit! The service is slightly more upscale than most order-at-the-counter places.
I did a little research beforehand…apparently, the must-order is Duck Shawarma…
…shredded duck confit with oven-dried tomatoes, figs, and garlic spread, wrapped in a whole wheat flatbread.
The house coleslaw it comes with is just okay, but this sandwich is utterly delicious – juicy, flavorful, and full of interesting textures.
We also got 3 sides…
…avocado hummus with tahini, garlic, + cumin…
…a Mediterranean Salad of Persian Cucumbers + tomatoes…
…and the Ikra – charred eggplant, tomato, red onion, cilantro.
Two pitas on the side – I felt this was kinda skimpy…
…barely used up my halves…
…plus a little sesame oil dip.
Overall, I thought the food/ambiance was solid and want to come back for dessert…
…FYI they serve Intelligentsia Coffee and LaMill Tea…
…but alas, no wifi.
