Momed originally opened its doors in 2010 on South Beverly Drive in Beverly Hills as a homage to the kitchens of Southern Europe, the Eastern Mediterranean, and North Africa. Momed was first to introduced Los Angeles to a fresh and sophisticated interpretation of a cuisine based on centuries-old traditions of seasonal and farm-to-table dining.
Inspired by classic Mediterranean ingredients and recipes, Momed became a sought-after destination for those looking to explore the rich and diverse flavors of the Mediterranean region. The menu reflected a fusion of authentic recipes and innovative culinary techniques, resulting in instant fan and press favorites with original items such as Duck Shawarma, Avocado Hummus and the Cleopatra Salad. Momed Beverly Hills was featured in LA Magazine's "10 Best" for 2010 and received favorable reviews from S. Irene Virbila of the Los Angeles Times and many other food critics.
In 2014, Momed expanded to Atwater Village, bringing a unique Mediterranean vibe to this charming, tucked-away neighborhood. Set on a serene double cul-de-sac, Momed channels the feel of a laid-back sun-soaked retreat with our sprawling patio, cozy dining room, and open kitchen. An expertly curated wine list, craft cocktails and gracious hospitality create the perfect setting to enjoy life's best flavors. It's no wonder the patio is consistently celebrated as one of the best in Los Angeles. 2019 brought Momed a coveted spot as a noted kitchen designation upon the Michelin Guide's return to Los Angeles.
In 2023, Momed turned up the heat with the arrival of renowned Chef Vartan Abgaryan as our Executive Chef and partner. Celebrated for his highly seasonal approach to ingredients and breathtaking presentation, Chef Vartan's creations have been described by Eater LA as "among the most beautiful plating in the city." Bringing an innovative edge to our timeless Mediterranean foundation, his dishes are a harmonious blend of artistry and soul. "I am driven by flavor," says Chef Vartan. "I want to cook with tastes that evoke emotion."
That same sense of connection and emotion defines every experience at Momed.
Whether you're here for an intimate dinner under the stars, a lively gathering with friends, or a celebratory private event, Momed is the perfect place to savor the magic of Mediterranean cuisine. For larger parties and private events, email us at events@atmomed.com or visit our Private Events page.
