Mommona African Restaurant in Frankfurt am Main

I recently dined at this restaurant, and overall, it was a pleasant experience. The service was good - super friendly staff. The ambiance was also a highlight, with a beautifully decorated space that made the meal feel special. As for the food, it was okay but not exceptional. Some dishes lacked a bit of flavor, and I felt like they could have been more exciting. However, the great service and lovely atmosphere more than made up for it, making the evening enjoyable. All in all, a nice place for a night out, especially if you’re looking for a welcoming vibe and great hospitality!

Really nice restaurant for get out of ur confort zone, looking for something different, stuff is super kind, but the food is ok, nothing special they could make the difference with the exotic flavours, but they looks like wanna make the food close to the costumers taste istead of be original, if u have a african cuisine, you have to be authentic, otherwise u arrive nowhere. I cannot say I didn't like the food, but neither I cannot say it was marvelous.

Super tasty, very friendly, nice restaurant

I ordered from Mommona via Lieferando. I had ordered several times and it was always very tasty. This time there were difficulties with the suppliers and after a long wait my order was canceled. The owner of Mommona, who could really be blamed for nothing, was indescribably important to ensure not only fairness but also satisfaction and tried very hard for me. He sorted everything out with Lieferando and now the delicious food is on its way to me! Thanks alot. A restaurateur with a heart, as is the entire family.

Professional service. The food is very very tasteful. Recommendable restaurant

A culinary highlight! Mommona is a true gem when it comes to African cuisine. The authentic dishes are lovingly prepared and impress with a variety of flavors and spices. The injera and the rich stews are particularly delicious! The portions are generous and the staff is extremely friendly and attentive. The atmosphere in the restaurant is warm and inviting - you immediately feel at home. If you are looking for a special culinary experience, you should definitely visit Mommona. Absolutely recommended!"

Mega delicious food and very loving service Great again 🫶🏽❤️

Very tasty and authentic food in a pleasant atmosphere and very good advice or recommendations regarding the dishes in advance - would recommend a visit to anyone who is in Frankfurt!

Great, delicious food, a little noisy outside, super friendly and courteous service!

A great selection of East African dishes in Alt-Sachsenhausen. We enjoyed the mixed platter for two. We were particularly impressed by the cleanliness of the restaurant, the tables and the menu. Keep it up!

Beautiful restaurant and the friendliest waiters in all of Frankfurt. The food and especially the African crafted beer are really great! I'll come back every time I'm in town :)

It was the second time in FFM and of course I had to go to Mommona again. And just like the first time, I was absolutely thrilled with everything! The food was once again incredibly tasty, the atmosphere was beautiful, fantastic beer/wine... but what makes this restaurant stand out and put everyone in the shade is the service... I have never experienced better staff. So friendly and warm💜

Wow. After a long travel day the last thing I wanted to think about was the hunt for vegan food. Just a short walk around the area and I stumbled across here. They instantly sat me down! The staff was friendly and fast. They offered recommendations as well. I had the vegan mixed plate and when it came they offered to teach me how to properly eat it (though I was familiar and didn’t need help so I simply thanked them). They continued to check on me which is not always common in German service. The food was quick to arrive and came with a side of all the spices and salt to accommodate people’s spice tolerance, it was absolutely delicious and hot. The decor was authentic African artwork and the ambience was lovely as well (they light a candle for your table). While some may say it is a bit pricier, it was not a regrettable decision to enjoy their food whatsoever. I felt as though I got exactly what I paid for. I also tried the vegan dessert and it’s a fair portion but my only complaint is that I would’ve wanted even more. Definitely food for any weather as well. If you’re looking to get good African food or maybe try something new. I would recommend this place. Thank you so much for your service. They also spoke English as well at the establishment. May have to go back everyday of my trip to Frankfurt.

The location is very nice and the owner is really very friendly and helpful!! He even prepared our drinks to take away :)

They are very friendly and have a lot of cocktails! I had strawberry mojito and apple wine and it was the best!

Het was de eerste keer dat wij in een echt Afrikaans restaurant hebben gegeten en dat is ons goed bevallen. Het was een aangename verassing en na na twee avonden apfelwein restaurants een fijne afwisseling. Het restaurant is sfeervol ingericht en je zit er ruim. De medewerkers zijn vriendelijk en behulpzaam. We kozen voor twee “probeplatten “ voor twee personen; een vega en een vlees, beiden bestaand uit verschillende gerechten van de kaart. Het eten wordt fraai opgediend in grote schalen met een soort brood , het eten doe je met je handen, je rolt het vlees, de groenten en andere gerechten in het brood en eet het zo op. Het was allemaal erg lekker en zeker voor herhaling vatbaar. Onze zoon bestelde bier en dat werd geschonken in een schaaltje en dat moest je dus met twee handen drinken . Erg leuk en lekker. Ook de huisgemaakte limonade smaakte goed. De yoghurt na was ook een succes.

Very tasty food and perfect bread (not sour). Very friendly service! Unfortunately, I find the portions a bit expensive for the quantity.

Very nice decor, good food, you'll definitely get full and the service is very, very friendly.

Update (since you can only write one review on Google 🤨): We were there for the second time today (7/25/24) and can confirm the five ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 100%. Good, better, Mommona! The best African food in FFM and super nice waitresses/owners. Be sure to try the tasting platters either vegan or with meat, both are great! The four of us went to Mommona for the first time today. We would give 10* if possible! It was a perfect match. Food great, service incredibly nice!!! We will be back. Thank you for the lovely evening.

The food was a bit spicy for me but my father loved the meal. We had one meal for two (we were not too hungry) it was really good. The service was so kind and helpful woth everything. We sat outside bc of the nice weather but inside it could have been even better (beautiful african interior). We for sure recomend.

Very good food, very nice boss, very nice service, good price-performance ratio, you can eat in Mommona. I can wholeheartedly recommend this African restaurant to you Franco

Incredibly delicious. Were with you for the first time today and definitely not the last time. Super friendly service. Humane prices. Thanks

This used to be my favourite place in entire Germany. But this evening got ruined when the waiter brought us bill, without the discount that we were entitled to (the fork summer festival, if it's such a problem that people use it, please don't participate in the program). When I asked for it, he came back with a bill which included discount only for 6 instead of 8 plates that we ordered and even after excessive explanations, he still insisted that it's not their mistake and it's correct. Overall, food was amazing, service was after all great and we had really lovely evening, but this situation at the end spoiled everything.

The food, drink and service was incredibly good. We were eating with a large group and it was easy for the restaurant team to serve us all nicely and professionally. Big cinema

Very nice service and the meat platter for 2 people was also very tasty!

Simply wonderful, African food has never tasted so good to me.

It was a very welcome treat for the subsequent group game against Switzerland 🇨🇭. Chicken with couscous. I thought it was a little too spicy, which doesn't affect the 5 stars. The staff is great as is the restaurant.

We ended up over the gourmet block at Mommona. When we entered the restaurant we were impressed by the great decor, which seemed very authentic to us. The waitress was incredibly friendly and later even opened the door for us as we were leaving the restaurant and escorted us out. As a starter we had the Sambusa (4 fried dumplings) and as a main course the tasting platter with meat for 2 people. The dumplings were good, but we could have sat down for the main course. It was terrific - simply delicious. We also thought it was great that people here eat with their hands, as is traditional. To do this, you tear off a piece of the thin sourdough bread and use it to pick up the food (of course you can also get cutlery if you want). This was our first time eating African food here, but definitely not the last. A clear recommendation from us!

A very cool experience with African food. Super attention!

Amazing vegan fair with awesome African beer. I recommend the vegan sampling platter for parties of two.

I took the plate of mixed appetizers, not much mixed. Following is a dish with 7 tastings: various types of meat and spinach... I expected something else, but I don't know the cuisine. Overall good. Very nice restaurant.

Excellent food, friendly and smiling staff, good price

Super nice service. We were warmly welcomed and felt welcome the whole time. The food is uniquely delicious. We had the sample platter with meat and every dish was really good. And the location is really nice too. Everything is consistent and clean. This was our second time and we'll be back.

We happened to see the restaurant and decided to give it a try... Great ambience, very nice service and the food was extremely tasty 😋! Thank you for the great experience, Mommona Restaurant!...we'll be happy to come back

Very tasty and super nice waiters

We ate there, the food was exceptionally good, the service was very friendly, and the atmosphere was excellent. The prices are good too.

Very good food. Extremely friendly, helpful and friendly staff. Excellent value for money. I advise!

Super nice restaurant in the middle of Sachsenhausen. The food is excellent and the staff are incredibly nice. The vegetarian platter is highly recommended, although you can't go wrong with your choice of food as everything is really outstanding :). The various types of African beer are also highly recommended.

It tasted absolutely great and was definitely enough (I'll be seated straight away). Something extraordinary.

Simply great! Super nice staff and excellent food. 👍

I Wish i could give more stars! Writing this just after finishing my meal and this was Super delicious! Super friendly staff and very nice atmosphere. Im coming back to Frankfurt just to come eat here!

You feel like you're on vacation for just a few hours. Great ambience and very tasty food 😋😋😋

Always perfect. Staff is very nice and the food is awesome.

Super delicious food, incredibly friendly and competent staff and a cozy atmosphere. One of the best, maybe the best restaurant visit in recent times!

Wonderful food, great service and a very nice atmosphere!! Highly recommended!

Very tasty food. Friendly service and a great ambience

A wonderful experience with culinary delights. Mega portion for two people. Date beer is recommended. In summer you can also sit outside in the courtyard.

Great restaurant. Attentive service. Waiter had some recommendations for us without pressing too much. Food was very good.

The restaurant has a traditional and very nice interior design, with very comfortable seating. The staff is very helpful at the selection of the meals and the serving of the food is made in a ceremony, which is very cool and joyful. We felt very welcomed and the food was very good and healthy. They have a spectacular vegan meal with lentils and tomato sauce. The homemade spices are very good.

Great African restaurant with very nice service.

The food was delicious. I wish the portion would be larger though. After the second sourdough bread there was only salad left.

The food was bad and the food that was on the menu was seven different meats. We ordered a mixed one and unfortunately we have three types plus vegetables and we said beforehand we wanted all seven different plates and out came. It wasn't tasty and the salad was bad

Food and service was good. Disinfectant liquid should be kept in the washroom.

Delicious food, big portions, great service, stunning decor, clean bathrooms and many sanitary products in them.

Very tasty, nice atmosphere and friendly service. Great recommendation

Super authentic food, very friendly service

Beautiful ambience, great service and the food couldn't be better. Best regards

Das Essen ist gut und ausreichend. Das Restaurant ist eng, sehr laut, vorallem wenn größere Gruppen anwesend sind. Das Ambiente entspricht einer in die Jahre gekommene Wirtschaft. Das afrikanische Feeling kommt auch nicht durch die wenigen an den Wänden hängenden afrikanischen Masken rüber. Es ist alles sehr in die Jahre gekommen und war sicher mal eine schöne hessische Wirtschaft. Jetzt eben afrikanischen Restaurant. Zudem war das Restaurant im Januar sehr, sehr kalt. Darüber haben sich mehrere Gäste sich beklagt. Die Bedienung ist sehr freundlich. Man kann hingehen.

Ü B E R R A G E N D Vielen Dank für die schönen Stunde bei Euch 😘

rundherum zufrieden und glücklich, dieses exotische Essen angeboten zu bekommen und genießen zu können

Das einladende Ambiente wird nur von dem tollen Mommona Team und dem authentischen Geschmack übertroffen. Vielen Dank für den tollen Abend. Ich komme wieder.

Sehr nettes Personal und eine tolle Atmosphäre! Die Krönung: das Essen! Kann ich nur empfehlen

Das erste Mal afrikanisch gegessen und wir waren sehr begeistert!!!! Toller und sehr freundlicher Service. Wie hatten die Probierplatte mit Fleischgerichten für 2 Personen und waren sehr begeistert. Total lecker 😋. Die Gerichte werden mit den Fingern gegessen. Hierzu reißt man etwas vom dünnen Brot (Injera) ab und nimmt die Speise mit dem Brot auf um sie zu essen. Das Mangobier ist der Wahnsinn und wird traditionell aus der Schale getrunken.

Den hervorragenden Bewertungen ist nichts hinzuzufügen. Leckeres Essen, nettes Ambiente und ausnahmslos freundliche, herzliche aber nie aufdringliche Mitarbeiter. Tolles Gesamtpaket und ausnahmslos zu empfehlen!

Sehr sehr leckeres Essen!!! Freundlicher Service lohnt sich hin zu gehen :)

10/10 essen. sehr authentisch und sehr sympathisches ambiente

Beste Service und das Essen schmeckt lecker, sehr zu empfehlen.

So lecker, authentisch und der Service ist super!

Ausgezeichnetes Essen!, ein Erlebnis das unvergesslich ist. Muss man mal ausprobiert haben wenn man in Frankfurt ist. Top Service und die Cocktails die wir bestellt haben waren einfach nur lecker.

Recommendations! Price quality in orde, delicious food and in a nice atmosphere. Kind and helpful staff. We brought our 3 month old daughter with us and that was not at all a problem.

Sehr leckeres Essen und schönes Ambiente. Hat uns sehr gut gefallen!

Dieses Restaurant begeisterte durch unglaublich leckeres Essen, aufmerksamen Service, freundlichen Mitarbeitern und ein tolles Ambiente. Für Vegetarier, Veganer und Fleischesser gibt es etwas auf der Speisekarte! Ein rundum gelungenes Erlebnis – absolut empfehlenswert!

Das Essen hier war sehr lecker. Es ist such immer wieder ein besonderes Erlebnis das Essen mit den Fingern, zu sich zu nehmen. Man kann sogar mit mehreren Persomen von einer Platte essen. Ei e Reservierung ist am Wochende sehr zu empfehlen, weil das Restaurant gut besucht ist.

Bestes Habesha Restaurant mit wunderschönem Ambiente

What a vibe! Delicious food, friendly & welcoming staff and a wonderful atmosphere. They accommodated us even though our online booking had an error and didn’t go through. We had the meat share plate for two paired with a South African Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon 👌 the food was incredible and a great portion and the wine was paired perfectly - thanks for the recommendation! We will definitely be back to share this experience with friends!

Sehr lecker wie immer! Vor allem gibt es viele vegane und vegetarische Optionen!

Sehr leckeres afrikanisches Essen, serviert von einem wirklich sehr freundlichen und entspannten Serviceteam. Wir waren als Gruppe dort und hatten einen sehr schönen Abend.

Ganz tolles Restaurant mit nettem Personal und sehr freundlich gegenüber Gästen mit Schlemmerblock! 100% recommended!

Delicious food, friendly staff…highly recommended!

Ein sehr schönes Restaurant. Der Service und das Essen waren super. Ich würde es jedem weiter empfehlen. Ich werde auf jedenfall wieder dort Essen gehen. 🙂

sehr große portion und sehr sehr lecker! vielen dank :)

Schönes Restaurant, netter und aufmerksamer Service, super Essen. Würde ich weiter empfehlen.

Einfach ein schönes Restaurant. Toller Service. Außergewöhnlich und super lecker. Toll!

Sehr authentisches Restaurant mit toller Auswahl. Sehr freundlicher Staff, aufmerksam und zuvorkommend. Ein tolles Erlebnis und eine absolute Empfehlung

sehr lecker, super freundlich und schöne atomsphäre! Viele vegane Optionen

Excellent food, kind and attentive service, and warm atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Das bisher BESTE afrikanische Restaurant welches wir besucht haben.

Afrika mitten in Frankfurt. Preis / Leistung für mich noch OK!!!Am bester reservieren!Super nettes Personal! Das Essen war reichlich und das Bier köstlich. Ich habe 🍍 Ananasbier getrunken. Das Essen war sehr scharf aber echt toll. Danke für den schönen Abend.

Das Essen war sehr lecker! Auch das Personal war sehr freundlich. Kommen gerne wieder!

It's different. Meals are served African stye, i.e. no cutlery. It's both an adventure in taste and culture. Loved the meal, service and the time taken to explain it all to us. Well worth a visit. It's an experience that you will value.

Easily the best food I've had in Germany. So delicious, so flavorful. The Asmara beer was good too. I've been in Germany two weeks, and I've missed that delicious spiced flavor. I'm vegetarian so maybe that's why Germany hasn't been feeding me so well so far, but wow, this food was really good. Highly recommend

Via the Fork hebben we bij dit restaurant uitstekend gegeten. Het is Oost Afrikaans restaurant met heerlijke verrassende gerechten. Fantastische bediening in leuke sfeer. Dit is zeker een aanrader en we komen hier zeker een keer terug.

Eine sehr sympathische Bedienung in angenehmer Atmosphäre. Leider hat uns dass Essen nicht geschmeckt, eine Auswahl verschiedener Gerichte, welche in einem Korb serviert wurde und mit einer Art Pancake mit der Hand aufgenommen wird. Es war verschiedene Häufchen von Fleisch, gefühlt hat alles ähnlich geschmeckt und leider nicht unseres. Die Linsensuppe als Vorspeise war allerdings sehr schmackhaft. Die Vorspeise meiner Begleitung war fast das gleiche wie im Hauptgang, eine Empfehlung etwas anderes zu bestellen wäre da hilfreich gewesen.

A nice location in Sachsenhausen. The Restuarant combines the charm of an old building with eastern-african artifacts to create a unique surrounding. We had Injera with beef on a tomato sauce, beef and ocra on tomato sauce and beef and lamb with peppers and onions. As a appetizer we ordered vegetarian and meat samosas. The food was excellent and there was plenty of it. For the kids the tomato sauces were a bit on the hot side, but they also served yoghurt with it. People are really nice there and service is impeccible. We will come back next time we are in Frankfurt.

Wir sind aufgrund der tollen Bewertungen ins Mommona gegangen und haben es nicht bereut. Wir hatten keinen Tisch reserviert und obwohl das Lokal voll war, wurden wir herzlich empfangen. Das Restaurant ist wunderschön dekoriert und die beiden Mitarbeiter verbreiten mit ihrer ehrlichen und fröhlichen Art eine tolle Atmosphäre. Man fühlt sich rundum wohl und willkommen. Wir bestellten die vegane Probierplatte für zwei und waren begeistert. Die verschiedenen Gerichte schmeckten nicht nur super lecker, sondern wurden auch sehr schön präsentiert. Wir kommen definitiv wieder!

Personal sehr nett und zuvorkommend. Essen einfach top. Perfekter Schärfegrad bei Speisen mit und ohne Fleisch. Dju Dju Bier ist einfach ein "Muss"!

We are Ethiopian cuisine aficionados, from Adams Morgan in DC to enclaves in LA. This is as good as the best stateside and beautifully presented.

Food was excelent and wine was good. Also the service was friendly and we felt very welcome. Athmosphere was clean and warm. Hope to visit this place again!

Super good food, great feeling and nice service. Everybody felt very nice. Great variety of vegan food, slso meat lovers were satisfied

Authentisches, sehr leckeres Essen, vegane Auswahl. Ambiente klasse und Bedienung sehr freundlich. Wir waren begeistert und werden auf jeden Fall wieder dort hin gehen. Wer auf der Suche nach einem besonderen Erlebnis ist, wird hier fündig.
