Mommona African Restaurant in Frankfurt am Main

Super friendly staff and delicious food! Always worth a visit 😋

Very cozy. Decor evokes medieval and African flavors. Very friendly waiters. We enjoyed our meal, and the restaurant was well attended.

Friendly and accommodating, very tasty and good value for money 👍 I can definitely recommend the sample plates

Delicious food and friendly service! There is also a large vegan selection!

A truly 10 experience. From the entrance the attention is incredible. They advised me very well. The food was spectacular and the mango beer was very delicious. Thank you very much for everything 🥰

Nice ambience, great food and extremely friendly service. We would love to come back!

Authentic Ethiopian Flavors in Frankfurt – A Taste of Home Visiting Mommona African Restaurant in Frankfurt was more than just a meal, it was a nostalgic journey back to Ethiopia. The rich aroma of spices, the perfectly fermented injera, and the flavorful stews brought back cherished memories of home. Each bite reminded me of the warmth and hospitality that Ethiopian cuisine represents. This experience inspired me to share Ethiopian food at my child’s school during a Multicultural Night that brought together over 900 parents and children, representing 27 different countries. It was a beautiful celebration of diversity, where families introduced their authentic food, culture, and music. For many, it was their first time tasting Ethiopian cuisine, while others were excited to enjoy it again. Seeing everyone come together, savoring the flavors, and appreciating the communal way we eat made the moment even more special. If you're looking for an authentic Ethiopian dining experience in Frankfurt, I highly recommend Mommona African Restaurant. Whether you’re discovering Ethiopian food for the first time or revisiting familiar flavors, you’ll leave with a full heart and a satisfied

We had an absolutely great evening at Mommona! Such great, friendly and attentive service and the food is incredibly delicious! Thank you for the feel-good atmosphere!

Lovely waiter, great food and beautiful ambience.

We had the vegan platter to share and both got full! The food is super tasty and the service is very friendly. We'll be back!

Great restaurant with a nice atmosphere and very friendly service. The food is also good and there are also vegetarian options and drinks from East Africa.

Once again soooo delicious! And the service is simply great ☺️ I can only recommend it

A great African restaurant in Frankfurt! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the food was simply fantastic. Especially the court name, e.g. B. Injera with Doro Wat impressed me – authentically seasoned and perfectly prepared. The staff was very friendly and attentive. I will definitely come back and can only recommend this restaurant!” ❤️❤️❤️

Tasty food, cozy atmosphere, friendly service. Highly recommend this place

Good food, meat well seasoned, but the curry soup could have been a little more spicy. Service very nice and attentive.

The food there was super delicious, highly recommended! Very hospitable, we will be back.

Very good food in a cozy restaurant. The service is super friendly and made great recommendations. Feel free to come back here!

I loved everything about this restaurant, it was my first time trying out the cuisine and they did not disappoint! It was amazing also had the pineapple beer which was amazing too , the atmosphere is great , the deco is also great , just 10/10 for me . The waiter was very friendly, he was smiling the whole time and was switching between German and English to accommodate both my boyfriend and I . I highly recommend it, they also have good vegetarian options.

I was a guest for the second time and it was really nice again☺️. The ambience is attention to detail, the hosts are super nice and accommodating. But the most important thing for me is the food and I can highly recommend it. We had all sorts of delicacies on our mixed platter and together with the sourdough flatbread we had a dream. I'm looking forward to my next visit to FFM and Mommona :)

The service and the attention of the team was impressive, the food was a pleasure, we were all very satisfied. And we will definitely come back. Many thanks to the whole Momona team...

One of the best restaurants in Frankfurt! We come here quite often and everything is just right here. Great ambience, attentive and super nice service and of course wonderful food! Absolute recommendation!

super delicious food. We had a lovely evening with great service. Very cozy and relaxed atmosphere in the middle of Sachsenhausen. Thank you

Really great food unbelievably good, highly recommended with really friendly staff who make the whole experience worth while. If I’m back in Frankfurt I will 100% be going better than any other German food you are going to eat.

In the heart of Frankfurt Sachsenhausen is this authentic African restaurant with a great selection of delicious dishes and matching drinks. Special requests were fulfilled at no extra charge. The service was very courteous and attentive: drinks were poured at the table and the food was opened.

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!

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💜

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 :)

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.

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

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

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

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 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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

Super authentic food, very friendly service

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

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

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.

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.

So lecker, authentisch und der Service ist super!

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!
