I love their brunch menu, various dips, Turkish coffee and cocktails. Great spot to catch up with friends.
Super cute restaurant, loved the ambiance! The decor was great and especially the lighting. I came by myself for a late lunch and got a spot at the bar with no wait. Ordered the moroccan eggs with merguez sausage, it came really quick and it was delicious. The poached eggs were yummy and the zaatar pita was a great touch.
Reservation recommended! Dined on a Monday afternoon and it was packed, waited about 20 mins for a table. Quick and friendly service. The non alcoholic drinks were great, so was their special cardamom hot toddy! For app we got the halloumi I which was a small portion, very tasty! They offer a breakfast & lunch menu till 4 I had the chicken kabob entree which came with rice and cabbage, it was the perfect lunch portion. Chicken was very juicy. My friend has the falafel sandwich and fries, the fries needed to be crispier, falafel was good. The Moroccan eggs were not spicy at all as listed on menu but they were good, a lighter portion. By 5pm the restaurant had cleared out. Nice ambiance, beautiful enclosed patio area in the back. Seats in front while you wait and ample seating at bar.
We stopped by here over the holiday weekend, and we were seated almost immediately. The service staff was super attentive about ensuring you get water refilled and that you can place your order. I ordered the chicken kabob sandwich, and I thought the highlight was really the fries.
What a cute fun place! There is a patio area in the back that was enclosed. They also had a bar. Only two stalls for restroom so there was a wait each time. Reservation definitely recommended for the restaurant, but waitlist wasn't too bad. We put our name on a list and waited about 20 min. I came here for a girls brunch with two of my friends. We ordered coffee, two mocktails drinks and the cardamom hot toddy, which were really good. For an app, the table got halloumi, which as a small portion, but tasty. My friend ordered the chicken kebab entree, which is really enjoyed and was a large portion. My other friend ordered the falafel pita and fries. The fries were seasoned nicely but could have been crispier. She liked the pita and falafel. I ordered the Moroccan eggs with beef and lamb sausage. It was not spicy at all as mentioned on the menu. It was good but tasted like poached eggs in tomato sauce. Gluten free bread was good and the potatoes were crispy.
Oh my gosh. A place my teen who doesn't like med-style anything approves of!! And a place I've loved for two decades. Winnn. I hope to intro him to tagine but we stuck w a trusty merguez. I got a lamb bowl. Service was great. I had fresh OJ and coffee. Ambiance, decor, and service all A+ in my book. This location was also conveniently near a state park. So perfect for this mom-of-teen. Life ain't easy but this visit was a highlight of the dreary June day. Also had gluten-free options for my ever picky tummy.
My wife and I love coming here for our monthly brunch date after dropping off our kid. The space is large and can accommodate a last minute reservation. The food is flavorful and consistently good. She loves their shakshuka and I enjoy their pita, spreads, falafel.
I came here with friends for a casual dinner. The location is ideal and the space is warm, dark, and friendly. The staff is super friendly and they made lots of great recommendations. We ordered a bunch of food to share and I enjoyed the majority of the food but none it it wowed me. The food was great and consistent across the board, there wasn't anything that was terrible but there wasn't anything that was a standout either. I would come back and try other options.
Beautiful everything. The food presentation, the decor, the outdoor patio, the drinks, even the bathroom! The food was very good but portions are small. Definitely order one more dish than you think you need. However, each dish is well made and tasty, and looks so nice! The inside dining area can be noisy, especially on the weekends. However the outdoor patio looked Alittle more peaceful. We had a great experience and would come back (but expect to pay above average prices)!
Sometimes the best dining experiences happen by chance. We didn't have a reservation, but thanks to a last-minute no-show, we were seated right away, lucky doesn't even begin to cover it. The evening started with a glass of blanc de blanc, crisp and celebratory, setting just the right tone. The food exceeded expectations: a melt-off-the-bone lamb shank served with perfectly seasoned rice, and a beautifully prepared duck confit, rich and satisfying without being overwhelming. Both dishes balanced comfort with refinement. Service was smooth and attentive, never rushed, and the atmosphere added to the sense that we had stumbled into something special. What could have been an ordinary night turned into one of those meals you remember for all the right reasons.
I love this place. It's the quintessential cafe in Brooklyn. The ambience, the staff and food are all great. The food is incredibly flavored. I randomly walked by midweek during lunch and decided to dine by myself here. Even during midweek it was pretty busy. The staff was attentive and kind. You definitely have to try it once, you'll be back!
Friendship. Always love visiting my daughter in Brooklyn. So fun to be able to also eat dinner with several of her friends from middle school in Houston! It is amazing how many of her friends and cousins now live in the five boroughs!! Cafe Mogador was a fairly central location to meet for dinner. Love the Moroccan menu. I had the Bastilla. What is Bastilla? Bastilla is a sweet and savory meat pie from North Africa. Layers of phyllo dough enclose a filling of seasoned chicken, almonds, and onions. The phyllo dough is dusted with cinnamon and powdered sugar for a sweet and savory taste. Interestingly, I made this once at a cooking class. It is sooo delicious. The Bastilla was paired with a garden salad filled with beets. My favorite! Our table also got a lebna appetizer with pita. The lamb kabobs with rice were also a hit. My vegetarian daughter had a veggie curry special. So nice to be able to have a wonderful dinner seeing my daughter and her friends and hear about all of their wonderful experiences. Thanks for a delicious meal to celebrate life.
Came here on a Friday at 7PM and tried to get outdoor seating because it was beautiful out but they didn't have any open so my friends and I sat inside which was not super packed. They told us we only had an hour and a half but the food and drinks took so long to get to us that we were there past that limit. We all shared the babaganoush (9/10 was really good but such a a small portion which came with pita), watermelon feta salad (8/10 refreshing but there were only 7 watermelon pieces), calamari (7/10 it was good but nothing memorable but the garlic bread it came with was really good), fish tagine (7/10 well cooked and slightly spicy sauce - but the couscous was 10/10 so good!), and the blackened zahatar chicken specialty (8/10 the chicken was cooked perfectly and had a lot of flavor but it seemed like it was fried?) Overall kinda small portions and slow service (for drinks and food) but it tasted good!
I absolutely loved this café! I was visiting town and discovered it because it was conveniently located near my hotel, and I'm so glad I stopped in. The space is intimate and inviting, with warm décor that makes you want to linger. There are both indoor and outdoor seating options, plus a charming open-air courtyard in the back that adds to the atmosphere. We enjoyed a few cocktails, some delicious food, and dessert, and everything was wonderful. It was the perfect spot to relax after a day of exploring. If I'm ever back in town, I'll definitely be returning. A lovely little gem that I'd happily recommend! read more

Cafe Mogador is one of those rare nyc gems that was super popular in the 2010s when they first opened and has somehow maintained that popularity over more than the decade plus since. I went back for a weekday lunch recently and the food and atmosphere both hold up fabulously, so it makes sense why they've remained a brunch mainstay at both their East Village and Williamsburg locations. I enjoy that they serve their hot moroccan tea in a glass as is traditional, so you can see all the fresh mint leaves in your cup. I had tea like this multiple times a day during my trip to Morocco a few years back so sipping on this here took me back in time. I ordered a short stack of their blueberry pancakes which were very fluffy and delicious. They're not the kind of pancake with crispy edges, which are my preferred kind of pancake but I still found them satisfying. The moroccan eggs, which are two poached eggs in spicy stewed tomatoes and served with zahar pita is a delight. The pita is very fluffy and the zahatar adds such a nice fragrant spice to the bread. They used to serve this with potatoes but now those come at an additional charge but are well worth getting. The Williamsburg location also has pretty good wifi and they let me work on my laptop through my brief stay there. Kitchen was speedy too. read more

One of my new favorite places in Williamsburg! The interior is dark, moody but comfortable. Feels like a nice neighborhood cafe. The service was attentive but not overbearing. The food! Wow, I was so impressed. I got the babaganoush to start which was delicious. The pita was a great accompaniment. The lamb tagine Casablanca style was incredible. So flavorful, fell off the bone, so delicious. The couscous was fluffy and the sauce was incredible. Good value for the price too. Went back a few nights later and needed a little bite so I got the eggplant with tahini-- absolutely delicious, and labneh with zaatar. Also very good! The pot of green tea was lovely too. Overall love this place and will come back again and again. read more

love this little spot in williamsburg. the pitta is very tasty and the fries are not bad. love the environment and service read more
The place itself is really nice with really pretty decor , service is good . As for the food ...that's a different story . We came for lunch and here's what we had : 1) Moroccan Benedict - it was ok but not great . The accompanying "salad" is a couple pieces of lettuce . The tomatoes on the muffin are just not enough so they can make a difference (3.6/5) 2) hummus platter - very disappointing hummus . Just not tasty and the texture was not smooth enough (2.8/5) 3) Greek salad - it was ok , but a little small . Again, a little more generosity would make wonders (3.5/5) We also ordered labne which was smooth and yummy (3.7/5) A little disappointing considering all the great reviews the place has read more

Really great dishes here. Got the Labne, tabbouleh, Kafta and a yogurt marinated chicken. Staff are friendly and all the food here was delicious. The restaurant is quite cute with a cozy outdoor space in the back as well. read more

Came in hungover asf & this was thee best thing ever. Flavor exploding in my both from the tomato and the sauce over it was a nice light spiced blanket. And of course the eggs. Omg cut through it and it poured over all the flavors deliciously. Salad was good too but the Benny's were the star. Also the potatoes flavor was amazing. My hangover may stay here. The ambiance too is the sh***. And my server Elisabet made it all the better...muah read more

Had dinner in this Moroccan restaurant during my recent visit to NYC. Cafe Mogador have two branches in New York, one in Williamsburg and another in East Village. I went to the one in Williamsburg not only because it was easier to reserve a table but also because I planned to walk around the neighborhoods nearby before dinner. The restaurant offers a wide range of small dishes (starters). The mains are Couscous, Tajine and grilled things, with a choice of meats/veg. The meat for Couscous and Tajine are prepared in the same way; the only difference is that for Tajine it came with some broth but not veggie. I ordered the Lamb shank couscous, Arabic salad first. Both the salad and lamb were very good. The meat was very tender. The caramelized onion on top of it and the raisins added some refreshing sweetness to this huge, meaty stuff. However, there was too little veggie on the side: only two pieces of zucchini, two pieces of cabbage leaves, half fingerling carrot, one piece of pumpkin. So I ordered the Pickled red cabbage. Was OK. Could be more sour. Complimentary pita tasted cheap, almost identical to the Angel Bakery pita sold in Whole Foods. I asked the server and he told me that the pita was indeed not homemade. read more
Whole new experience! wonderful decorations Moroccan restaurant I must have tried! Was really pretty set tables and everything. I loved the vibe. They are well organized and each dishes will serve at the same time as when they are ready. Everything was well cooked and looked perfect. read more
I came here with my family for brunch on a Sunday morning. We arrived at 10am when they opened, so we were able to sit down right away. We placed our order pretty quickly and our food came shortly after. I had the country breakfast (eggs any style, labne, Arabic salad, and pita). It was good, but not out of this world. Not a bad choice for brunch but I'd prefer this spot for a drink/appetizer, instead. read more

I happened to stumble upon this beautiful little hole in the wall on Wythe ave. Mind you I had been hustling and bustling this morning that I finally had time to sit down and catch my breath. I requested to sit in the back but it wasn't open to the public yet so I quickly told them if I could up front and they were kind of hesitant of the request. All I wanted was to sit down and have an espresso (double) before I continued working. The manager brings me an "espresso" (single claiming it to be double). I gave it back and told them that sorry but this is a single and burnt espresso. PSA Please don't serve bad espressos to nice customers! I'll post a few examples of what an espresso should look like. Such a lovely place and all but I couldn't bear the condescending manager. read more

One of my favorite spots for Mediterranean eats in the city -- I love the back patio 'greenhouse' at this location, it's a super airy space. It's easy to snag a last-min res and the servers are very accommodating. Dinner is a very relaxed pace, giving you lots of time to sit and chat -- my favorites were Crispy Skin Salmon and Paratha with Labne but everything is baseline yummy. read more
This place offers a nice vibe and great Moroccan food! I came here with my cousins for lunch on a Saturday, and we had to wait for about 30 minutes for a table. The service was good and friendly, pretty standard. I ordered the couscous with merguez sausage and the waitress suggested a I get some chicken broth on the side to go with it, which added some extra flavor. It was a tasty and filling dish, and my cousins loved their lamb tagines! read more
