Moustache pizza is the kind of spot that's increasingly harder to find in the city, let alone in the west village which is observing its slow decent into slop bowl/IG inspired food capital of the world. Moustache is a rare gem which feels homely, inviting, top it off with a service with a smile and you're left wondering why this place isn't the darling of food vloggers and enthusiasts. Ultimately, it's the food that wins. I tried the excellent Lahmajun pizza, the baba ganoush and washed that down with a delicious mint tea for my late Saturday afternoon lunch. Highly recommend, avail of these local gems before the next reigning slop bowl dujour overruns all these beautiful, magical spots in the city. read more

We had a great dining experience at Moustache Pitza! We were able to walk in and get seated immediately on a weekday for dinner. It has a cute interior that feels homey. And the servers are so nice. We got the muhammara and chicken kebab plate. Both were delicious! The muhammara was smooth and flavorful and the chicken was tender and juicy. read more

I didn't have an entree. This rates the baba ghanoush which amounted to a full meal. There was a large plate, with chopped tomatoes at the edge and three olives on top. The pita bread came separately for $2 apiece, but the pita was FRESHLY baked and large and puffy, so worth the price, I thought. I enjoyed the flavor of the baba ghanoush. I might have liked it to have slightly more of a garlic-y edge or something like that, but but it was very good. Wait-staff was very helpful and responsive. Wheelchair accessibility note. No steps to enter and relatively large restroom on the same level. I don't remember seeing grab bars, but am not saying they were not there. read more

Tempted to give 2 stars here. The food is good and I've been coming for over a decade, but recently tried lunch here and have to say that 18 dollars for a falafel plate that leaves you hungry is totally unacceptable. They even upsold me on a pita with nothing to put on it other than the meager tahini on the falafel. I had to go up and get my own check because the server was on his phone, even though I was the only person there. I have to rethink my whole relationship with this place. read more

We had an excellent experience! The food was fabulous! We had a table of 7. We started out with the labna and hummus that came with really yummy pita like bread. Then we all split the lamb kebab and rice, chicken kebab and the falafel plate. Some people also had red wine. The owner was friendly and helpful. The place was packed; glad we had reservations. Would definitely go again! Everything was super delicious and authentic. read more

Moustache Pitza - Middle Eastern Near Me - New York, New York

I took a group of 8 casual work acquaintances, looking to accommodate any dietary restrictions esp mine, and still have a fun and different meal. I think I hear my Nobel prize for "work event dinner planning" speech in my head! Ok, let's give some credit to Moustache! Everything was superb. We ordered a bunch of stuff for the table, people tried things that were new to them and everyone found something they loved. Then, people's individual dishes. All less experimental but a good balance of comfort to adventurousness. Look at these pics! I promise you it tasted, and smelled, as good as it's looking! read more

Cozy little restaurant serving up some of the most delicious hummus and freshly baked pita breads! We stopped by for dinner on Sunday and did not have a line, however when we were leaving there were parties waiting outside in the cold! Our server was welcoming and made it a warm environment. However what was cold about this restaurant is that it is literally cold! This is a small place, about ~10 tables fitting 20 people and the setup is not ideal with the entrance door in the middle. So basically every time someone comes in or out, the entire restaurant feels the cold! And it was a COLD night! Not an ideal set up. We ordered multiple dishes to share! Such as the hummus, cauliflower (so good!), the moussaka, pitza Moustache, lamb kebab, all super delicious! While I greatly enjoyed the food, the setup of the restaurant is not ideal and prone to catching a cold while eating (especially in the winter) as the entrance door is smack in the middle with no buffer or barrier catching the cold. Definitely recommend them to do something about that. read more

Decent food, but some of the worst service I've experienced in NYC. We had a reservation for a party of 6, and were told to wait outside (below freezing) until all members had arrived. Our whole party was present less than 15min after the reservation time and we told the host we were ready. We proceeded to wait on the street in the cold for *FOURTY FIVE MINUTES*, checking in every 10-15min to see when we would be seated and either told "soon" or "a few minutes" every time. We were eventually seated nearly an hour and a half after our reservation time. There was never an apology for not even trying to honor our reservation time. They even had to gall to include a mandatory 20% tip on our bill, plus a line for additional tip. The food was fine, but portions were small for the price. The pitzas and moussaka were flavorful but the ouzi was very bland. The hummus ($12) was forgettable. The baba ganoush ($12) was good. They arrived with two pitas each, which we didn't order so assumed they were included. They later appeared on our bill for $8. As the kitchen closed, the server brought us a "milk flan" which was ok, and a rice pudding, which was absolutely awful. Most people dining had to keep their winter coats on throughout the meal due to the strong draft every time the door opened. Would not recommend dining here at all, but absolutely avoid in the winter. read more

Moustache has some solid Moroccan cuisine and I'm glad that I finally got around to trying it with my Moroccan friend who also enjoyed it. We ordered the chicken kebab and lamb kebab as our entrees. Both of them were very good but different. The chicken kebab stood out to me though, they were cooked really well and the lentil purée was a nice touch. read more

Moustache Pitza - Lamb Kebab & Chicken Kebab - Middle Eastern Near Me - New York, New York

We were pleasantly surprised to come across this place serving some favorite Mediterranean dishes. The place is arguably small and casual, but thanks to outdoor dining they were able to add some more diner. They do not take reservations, so we decided to dine here on Saturday night slightly early to avoid peak hours. True enough at around 7 pm this place is bustling. For a nice July summer weather what better way to start dinner than a chilled bottle of Sauvignon Blanc? We then ordered freshly baked pita bread and hummus, it was simply delicious. We then shared a pitza (pizza) and lamb kebab served with white rice, both dishes are delicious and perfect for sharing. The service here is friendly and efficient and we will come back to try their other dishes such as baba ghanoush and chicken kebab. read more

Looking fur a place to eat before Film Forum, my friend and I alighted on Moustache on 7 Av South, and what a welcome oasis it was. The hummus and fresh fluffy pitas are amazing, as is the chicken pitza -- wonderfully spiced and aromatic. Best of all was the guy (owner?) asking us how we liked everything. read more

I've been to NYC three times in about 18 months. Different seasons have rhyme and reason. Moustache keeps raising their bar of excellence. In August, I went to 90 Bedford and noticed they closed. I looked online and noticed a different location less than 6 minutes away with the same name. And, I was in luck! They relocated to a bigger and better location. Business is good in a better location. Their outside seating is open and they offer more tables. Signage is noticeable from the street - and service has picked up quite a bit. We had a wonderful experience at their new location. I'll be back when I visit again to see their growth and continue to wish them only happiness and success. Congrats Moustache! read more

My gf found a pulsd deal so the four of us went. It was a meal and drink for two ppl for $29. Not bad for the city. When we got there, we talked and took a min to take our order. It took a while for them to take our order to the point my gf had to ask if we can order. We then waited a bit because they forgot one of our drinks. My friend got some filo stuffed in rice, which was the star of the meal. It was delicious with the yogurt sauce and their version of some sort of hot sauce. I got some spicy sausage plate. The sausage was dry, but it was fine for the price we paid. My gf loved her chicken kebab moment, which I personally thought was dry. Overall, don't think I would have been pleased if I paid full price, but with the deal we had, no complaints. read more

Amazing staff and friendly service. The food was good but I wasn't too found of the seafood pitza. It was a bit watery. The chicken ouzi was delicious with the flaky dome and flavorful rice. Interesting Mediterranean beer. Love how they offered us baklava at the end for free. Overall, would come back to try other items. Outside seating is very nice. read more

Had made reservations for table of 4 for around 12:15 pm, when the place was relatively quiet, but it got absolutely packed by 1 pm on a Sunday afternoon - so reservations highly recommend if you have a larger group! Inside seating was very cozy, and they have outdoor seating (not winter friendly). We started off with some beverages which included a delicious serving of Ayran ($4) and Turkish Coffee ($5), both were amazing. They also have a good list of alcoholic beverages including some local draft beers. We ordered some Mezzeh which included Nivik ($10), Baba Ghanouj ($10), and Muhammara ($10) and 3 Freshly Baked Pitas ($1.50 ea). Muhammara was absolutely delicious and this was the first time I had freshly baked pita - what a difference that made! For mains, I got the Falafel Sandwich ($10), and our table got the Lamb Kebab Plate ($18) - shared by 2, and I could tell that the meat eater thoroughly enjoyed their Lamb kebabs! Falafel sandwich too was very tasty! What we liked was a menu which is really well priced, a very friendly staff, and food that arrived within 20 minutes of ordering, in spite of being relatively busy. Noise levels were at average level. I would highly recommend this place for excellent Mediterranean food and will definitely visit again! read more

The old location was perfect !! The new spot does not have the same rustic, cozy ambiance but Moustache is often a go-to for me. The owner is always in there and this place speaks "labor of love." The pita is my favorite in NYC, ranking above 12 Chairs, Shoo Shoo, Shuka, etc. Make sure to order the whole wheat pitas (they have more flavor) and also, mint tea. The food is simple, you won't be "wowed," but it's soul warming. read more

This is honestly one of my favorite restaurants in nyc. The food is all amazing and authentic and very very reasonably priced. I've been here a few times. Their hummus is phenomenal. Also chicken plate is amazing, chicken is so tender and cooked to perfection on a bed of lentils. The pita is made fresh to order delicious light and fluffy. All the pitzas look great, I tried the lamb one and really enjoyed it! I will continue to return here and excited to try more of the menu. The ambiance is pretty chill, go with a friend or two or you can even go alone for a nice experience. Service is a bit slow, but they definitely let you take your time and enjoy.. read more

First time trying out this spot tonight. Food was pretty delicious, decent portion size, pretty good price. The drinks weren't too bad, it's very different from what we are use to drink in New York but in a good way. If you want something out of the ordinary, we recommend trying the Ayran and Loomi. The only reason I did not gave a 5 stars because the service is slow and we waited close to 20 minutes before someone took our order. but the customer services were still friendly even with the wait. read more

Affordable pricing and great portions. Didn't have the best online experience. Took over an hour for the business to complete the order and even the delivery person was waiting on it -- and that's because I submitted the order right when this restaurant opened! I'm sure going in person is better, but given the other options closer to me I probably won't prioritize that on my to-do list. Got the garden salad with chicken. The arthichokes and mushrooms included make it unique. Feta pretty mild though. read more

A once great restaurant now on a downward slide. In a nutshell, now overpriced and underwhelmed. $24 for a few slithers of chicken not a great value but enjoyable nonetheless. I used to love this place but they've gotten someone cocky with their pricing and crowded seating. Moving on. read more

Generous portions, great atmosphere and neighborhood, but lacked flavor. And flavor for me is the holy grail. If it simply doesn't taste good for the $$ then I can't recommend it. read more

Very good and fresh food!! Everything looks and tastes fresh and simple. The pita was one of my favorites I've ever had, extremely light, soft, and right off the cooker with a crisp at the bottom. It's a small and intimate restaurant -- I went on a Monday night and the vibes were nice and lowkey with comforting Middle Eastern music and dim lighting. Service was great, the workers were polite and attentive! I really enjoyed coming here and will definitely be back. read more

Yum. This hit the spot. For dinner we ordered the babaghanoush, the mujaddara, the spinach and chick pea dish and the labne. With pita. Two enormous fluffy just-baked-in-the-oven pitas were brought to our table. Wow. Delish. The service was excellent. The small space is cosy and inviting though it does get a little loud (by my standards. Probably fine for the regular New Yorker.) Recommended. read more

We opted for a takeout order due to the restaurant's bustling activity. While we appreciated the variety of dishes, the wait time exceeded the initial estimate provided. The wraps were decent but didn't quite stand out. Similarly, the other dishes were above average, though none were exceptionally memorable. While it's a solid Mediterranean spot, I've had better experiences elsewhere in NYC. There is no 3.5 so going with 4 read more

-Worn down interior -Service was a little confusing, as we interacted with three different people -Good pita, baba ghanoush, and labneh, although the labneh wasn't very flavorful I know they're beloved to their neighbors, but it's not worth going out of your way for (which we did). read more

Lovely local no frills Mediterranean restaurant. Plenty of seating, no wait, nice staff, reasonable prices. Always pick a dip or two to start with, paired with a giant fluffy pita. The hummus and baba ghanouj are both great. Have had various lamb and chicken dishes and have enjoyed them all. Only thing I personally did not love was the pitza, a Mediterranean-style pita pizza. read more

What gem I stumbled upon! The decor is what you'd expect from a neighborhood middle eastern place. The service was top notch and quick. The parachute of a pita was divine as was the trio of appetizers that I had. The cherry on top was the Turkish coffee with a side of baklava! read more

We were able to snag a reservation here on a rainy Friday. Situated within the West village, it's about a 5 minute walk from the closest subway station. I'd highly suggest making a reservation given that it's a popular restaurant, as well as a small one. They only sat us once we both had arrived and when we did they sat us at a small table very close to another party and close tho their bathroom. We decided to use a Pulsd deal for our experience here which allowed for us to order two entrees that also came with two glasses of wine. I had order one of the personal pizzas while my friend ordered the meatballs with rice. The dishes were pretty filling and didn't taste half bad. Overall the food and service was good. I'd say the ambiance could use work. read more

Had lunch at Moustache last Friday...here are my thoughts: Service was very friendly and food came out quickly. Ambiance - we sat outside and it was the most perfect day. The inside of the restaurant is a bit dark and very casual. Food is good overall. We ordered a bunch of things and shared them. The highlight for me was the moussaka but everyone else loved the chicken kabob more. Pita bread was average and I thought it was kind of weird that it wasn't complimentary. Prices are a bit high considering the quantity but I guess that's due to the area. We'd return for sure. read more
