Cafe Mogador has incredible food in both locations, obviously. But the Wythe location in Williamsburg is a stand out! It's much more spacious and has indoor/outdoor seating. Great ambiance! This is my staple restaurant that I've been going to for years. It's about time I left a review. It's overdue! My favorite menu is their breakfast/brunch menu. I will continue to frequent this restaurant for good reason. 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

My friend and I were looking for a quick lunch spot and stumbled across Cafe Mogador! There was a waitlist as we went around 1:30 PM on a Sunday but we only had to wait about 10 minutes. I ordered the lunch falafel pita with salad and the falafel was perfectly fried and crispy. However, I thought the food overall was a bit bland. I unfortunately wouldn't come back because of that. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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)! read more

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. 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.

Cafe Mogador - Moroccan Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

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. read more

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! read more

Cafe Mogador - Blackened zahatar chicken and Moroccan Fish Tagine - Moroccan Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

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

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

Stopped in here Mother's Day weekend and was surprised with all of the demand for this restaurant. I was able to get a table for seven people! We chose the outdoor seating and even with it being extremely packed, our waitress was on it! The ambience of this restaurant was very earthy, light and relaxing, even with it being so busy. The food was definitely a 10 out of 10 and something we still rave about! We got the mezze - hummus, eggplant and picked red onion. Also the chicken and lamb tagine. Everything was cooked to perfection. You know the food was good when nobody was talking. Definitely check out the spot if you can. read more

This place was recommended to me by a woman walking with her mom and baby on the street. I was looking for a place to have lunch with my BFF and this is what she recommended as a MUST HAVE lunch spot that offered outdoor seating. THANK GOODNESS for strangers who know what's up. This Mediterranean inspired restaurant did NOT disappoint. The outdoor seating was covered and was such a great way to take in the city while still feeling like you were in your own bubble. We settled on the haloumi cheese maze, chicken Kevin pita, and a Greek salad. If you have never had Haloumi, it is a firmish cheese with a bit of saltiness that goes well with everything from honey to olives to pesto to everything. (Great now I want more!). The Greek salad was large and filling. The chicken kebob pita was also super filling. The staff was personable and gave great recs of what to eat but also what to do in the area. 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

I walked past Cafe Mogador a dozen times, but finally went in last Sunday after a workout when I was starving and honestly... I get the hype now. Sat down thinking I'd do something light and ended up going all in. Ordered their Moroccan eggs with spicy tomato sauce and a side of their famous challah French toast. The eggs came out bubbling hot, perfectly spiced, with that slow-simmered depth that tastes like someone's been making it the same way for years. The bread they serve with it is dangerous... I kept telling myself "last bite" and then immediately going back in. But the French toast was the real moment. Crispy edges, soft inside, not overly eggy, and just the right amount of sweetness. I didn't even use syrup for half of it. Also grabbed a mint tea which felt like the perfect reset in between bites. Service was relaxed but attentive, and the whole place has this warm, slightly chaotic brunch energy that somehow works. Williamsburg has a million brunch spots, but this is one of the few that actually delivers on flavor and not just aesthetics. Definitely coming back... probably too often. 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

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.

We stopped in here for lunch, and are SO happy to have found this gem of a restaurant!! We started with the hummus, which was incredibly fresh, and came with the most soft and squishy, pita bread, fresh from the oven. We also had the halloumi, which was absolutely delicious. For lunch. My husband had the lamb shank kebabs with the basmati rice and he said it was outstanding. I had the Greek salad with the roasted salmon. Everything was so incredibly fresh and made from scratch. I highly recommend this restaurant if you are in the area and you're looking for something delicious and healthy. read more

Food (5/5) - Ordered the cauliflower and the chicken tagine. Both were really delicious! - Portions are on the decent to maybe slightly smaller side - Also tried the whipped cream dessert they had which was like a chocolate mousse. I think they need to update their dessert menu to say that it includes chocolate because my friend and I were confused and thought it was just literal whipped cream LOL Service (5/5) - Great! Super friendly and have nice recs Ambiance (5/5) - Spacing between tables can be kinda small - Intimate, darker lighting - Good for groups and good for dates read more
