Historical version 7 of Mosa Cafe, SW6 7EJ (view current version)

This place is either Mosa Cafe or Mosaic Cafe depending on where you look, and is in Fulham.

They have a great range of fry-ups with quality products (even the sausages). They do burgers and things, mostly homemade, very tasty. Usually when I go, I order something custom and they're happy to prepare it. It usually involves onions and gravy.

The owners are Moroccan and despite all the normal café food being excellent, the real stars are the Tagines, including one with excellent quality merguez.

Mosa used to have some beautifully-tiled tables and cast iron chairs, as can be seen from some of the photographs on their website, but unfortunately these have been replaced with boring formica tables and regular chairs photo. Apparently it's environmental health's fault.

Note that they are closed on mondays, and open every other day. They have recently taken to opening in the evenings with a three course menu, but the opening schedule is irregular, call ahead of time.

James eats here regularly and was privileged to be among the people invited to the first evening opening. Starter was a plate of really excellent mezze (hummus, baba ganoush, homemade flatbread, stuffed vine leaves and a little feta salad). The vine leaves are the best I have ever had, anywhere and all of the rest was extremely good. Tagines for main (you had a choice of three), I picked kofte tagine, Peter picked lamb tagine. Excellent as usual. Served with truly amazing homemade bread topped with sesame seeds. Dessert was Moroccan Fruit Salad (like normal, but with a bias towards tropical fruit). Second dessert was a selection of Baklawa and was served with mint tea (sweetened to perfection). We didn't stay for turkish coffee as it was quite late. All in all, £20 a head, bargain. It's also BYOB, with corkage free if the owner is working, or £1 per person if the usual waitress is working.

Last visited by James and Peter, June 2009. Opening hours taken from the Mosa website, May 2008.
