Nikki BogopolskayaMay 6, 2016Perfect for weeknight dinner date, the BK outpost of Cafe Mogador has healthy options aplenty but combines them with a great cocktail/wine list and lively atmosphere. Greek salad + roast chicken FTW.
Come early on weekends. On a cold/rainy day: go for a table in the covered winter garden. Highly recommend the mint tea, and the halloumi breakfast with a side of labneh
HBOFebruary 27, 2015Girls happened here. Hannah and her friends brunched here while discussing potential career opportunities.
CarmsFebruary 20, 2018A very cozy spot with amazing food! If you’re here with two, the mezze platter (comes with naan), the falafels, and lamb tajine is a perfect combo to share.
Kayleigh HarringtonOctober 17, 2016The lamb tagine was unique and flavorful. The Halumi eggs are a nice, light dish for breakfast. Don't skip the hummus or the pita bread with za'atar.
Lele BuonerbaSeptember 18, 2016Absolutely loved this place! After three hours of dancing at Output's rooftop, delicious Mediterranean food was just what I needed. It's not on the list but you can order arak! Very peculiar drink.
Emma CramerJuly 9, 2014You'll probably have to wait for a table, but it's worth it. Walk west to enjoy a view in the meantime.
Alex MJanuary 3, 2014Find a table in the back-it's like you're in a greenhouse. Awesome & delicious lunch special for $12: tomato ginger soup and the chicken tangine with the cilantro sauce and basmati rice are delicious
Andrea BarrezuetaDecember 3, 2014Another visit another great dinner. Tried the spicy roasted chicken that although not really spicy it was quite tasty and perfectly executed. My friend had the lamb skewers and loved them too.
Daniel McDonoughMarch 7, 2015Awesome brunch spot with great service. Try the eggs scrambled with home fries and ask for a side of spicy tomato sauce. Pour that all over your eggs & home fries. You're welcome.
Neelu RaviJanuary 26, 2018My overall experience at this cafe was amazing. Mezze platter, Moroccan breakfast and the falafel sandwich were order to the table. Food was flavorful, service was quick and the staff was friendly.
Gilbert WongMay 30, 2016don't wake up early on Sunday, show up at 3pm and be hungry. share a split of Pol Roger Reserve; also Greek Salad, Eggs Normandy w/side of Merguez sausage, and Lamb Tagine w/cous cous. great dessert!- Sophie BakalarMay 30, 2016One of my favorite brunch spots in Williamsburg. The middle eastern eggs and all the appetizers are delicious. Really unique spin on traditional brunch fare.
Agim ArdolicApril 27, 2014The food was great. Great starters!! Even great entrées!! Service was good! This is someplace I would highly recommend to anyone. Seating was also great. I recommend the back area.
Cristian LugoJanuary 10, 2017Amazing Grill Lamb! I was surprised about the small size of our appetizer (Sauced Calamari) but the entree was delicious and fulfilling. Will be back during the summer to check out the patio area
Mara LecocqNovember 5, 2014Really good food! My lamb tagine was delicious and insanely copious. Merguez couscous was great too. The waitress (name starts with an A) was a bit bitchy however!
Tagine chicken was so tender and flavorful, the pita was fresh and warm, and the lentil soup was on point. A delicious meal and great atmosphere.
Meg FarmerOctober 26, 2014Great patio in the back. Came for brunch- shared the cucumber yogurt, which was to die for, & had the maple granola w/ yogurt and fresh fruit. Absolutely hit the spot. Also great people watching spot.
One of my favorite restaurants in Williamsburg! The food is delicious and very fresh. Also the interior is great, love the plants. Good spot for a date night.
Kappie FarringtonJune 30, 2015I love breakfast here as much as I love dinner. The back garden is a great place to spend a morning. I highly recommend the Haloumi Eggs.
Eva DragoAugust 13, 2017One of the few spots in Williamsburg that opens at 9am on the weekend. Good healthy breakfast option. Haloumi eggs and a Turkish coffee. Arrive early and ask for a table in the back atrium.
Fawziah QadirFebruary 22, 2015The lamb is always amazing, falls right off of the bone. Don't miss the mixed platter appetizer with hummus, tabouli, eggplant and an arabic salad! They'll send as much fresh bread as you desire!
Michelle WendyMay 10, 2014If lentil veggie is the daily soup it's a no brainer. Delicious layers of flavour, one can't eat each bite fast enough. Tough to have a lively gabfest w/ gfs when chowing down on thick creamy delish🍲
Brian Grogan Jr.September 11, 2016Wonderful falafel, crispy outside and moist and soft inside! Served with fresh-made tahini sauce, it's the perfect combination. Easily the best Middle Eastern food in the neighborhood.
Deven MarteFebruary 15, 2016The mixed platter was perfect for first timers! Apple Cider beers, zinger! Lamb Tangine and steak with fries were DIVINE! Chocolate cake with raspberry sauce was spectacular! Love this place!!
Dan SohaydaFebruary 27, 2019Hostess could have been clearer with regards to seating options, but the other staff were nice and helpful. Great food for a good price and a nice place all around. Would definitely visit again.
Dawn StarJuly 19, 2013BEST Meal that I've had in Brooklyn hands DOWN. Get the Lamb (or Chicken) Tangine w/the Cassablanca OR the Cilantro Sauce w/buttery cous cous, BoTH are flavorful & rich & the lamb melts in your mouth.
Tara BreeJune 28, 2017Cute brunch spot! The french toast was great. They have outside seating and an indoor garden area. However, there weren't any tables in the garden area to eat
The halumi Appetizer,Moroccan meatball dish and the salad platters are out of this world :)
Kate BerkenbushJuly 6, 2017Everything is yummy! Especially the eggplant with tahini! Leave room for the panna cotta!
Their grilled dishes is where it is at. They are pretty efficient, but don't come starving on Friday or Saturday nights bc their is usually a wait for a table.
Borys PierovNovember 19, 2017Cozy interior and good food. We tried Eggs Benedict with bacon and salmon and both were solid but not impressive. Maybe other items on the menu are more outstanding.
StevenApril 1, 2017Great atmosphere, big open space. The halumi eggs is alright, but what you should really go for is the lamb tagine. Flavor is amazing and rich! Will be returning for sure.
Like A Local BklynJuly 24, 2013The brunch here is spectacular. Go early because it gets packed! And definitely order one of the middle eastern dishes. They are all great! Cheers! #LikeALocal
All the food I've tried here is delicious but my go-to is the chicken tagine w charmoulla sauce. This location is much bigger than the e village spot, with a beautiful "outdoor" area in the back.
Friendly staff, great prices, food comes out reasonably quick, and the food is delicious! What more could you want? Also, the falafel is a MUST.
Jesse MeighanOctober 16, 2014I've always gone for the AMAZING brunch, but have often overlooked it for dinner. Rest assured the evening menu does not disappoint. The tagine is fantastic but really everything is great!
Avin NarasimhanAugust 10, 2014Better naan than you will find in most Indian restaurants. Also highly recommend the tagine- meat just falls off the bone, so well prepared. Chill vibe for Williamsburg too
SH LingMay 9, 2017Chicken tagine lunch set, soup of the day (chicken/pumpkin?) and coffee were all super tasty and fresh. Service was also excellent - friendly and attentive. Will be back!
The Corcoran GroupMay 4, 2012While the Salsa Music in the background didn’t match the Moroccan vibe, the food was amazing – Roasted Eggplant & Tahini, Merguez Platter and the Fish Tagine.
Emily WilsonNovember 1, 2015If you're here for dinner, try the Casablanca tagine (it's a little sweet and oh so delicious)
Millie EfraimDecember 9, 2018Summer preparation of the crispy salmon is much better than the winter preparation. Overall an amazing restaurant. Staff is super caucasian and stuck up tho lol.
Magnus HultJuly 19, 2016Spice up your weekend brunch with a slightly Moroccan twist. Menu features things like hummus and tabbouleh in otherwise American breakfast dishes with eggs and bacon.
Stef SpitalnickMay 8, 2014spicy carrots & hummus, sweet leaf mint tea, and roasted salmon were all warm and delicious. it's also a beautiful restaurant. service is... weird, but can be easily overlooked
inna katsSeptember 25, 2017The service was fabulous, (our waitress was pure love) and the food was so delicious! Definitely coming back. Oh and, be sure to get the mint tea 😍
I love this place. Ask to sit in the back if possible. I usually order the Moroccan iced tea, the special appetizer platter and the vegetarian tagine or couscous. Heart warming and healthy
Most people only come here for brunch, but the lamb tajine at dinner is one of my favorite meals in NYC.
Shaina PanMay 5, 2015So good. Hummus and pita super fresh, roasted eggplant & tahini delicious. Perfect texture and taste. Lamb tagine lives up to the hype. Lovely during the day.
My favorite brunch place! Note to self and everyone else: For lunch, get the Halumi Eggs, and for brunch, the Moroccan Benedict. Every. Damn. Time. So good!
