great brunch. i had the benedict with smoked salmon (eggs were perfect, salmon was flavorful, english muffin was delish). comes with a nice little salad and really good home fries.

Lamb tagine, mezze plate combo and a dessert is perfect to share at the bar.

One of my favorite spots in the EV. Amazing for all meals. Halloumi eggs, chicken tagine, kebabs, you can't go wrong.

Lamb tagine with potatoes, turnips and saffron is out of this world. Great date and brunch spot.

Bit of a wait on a Saturday but great for breakfast/brunch. Try the Moroccan eggs w/ merguez 👌🏻

I'm all about the Middle Eastern eggs! Savory, healthy, and delicious -- what more can you ask for?!

One of my favorite brunch places in the city. Benedict Eggs are amazing and they also have “real coffee”. To me, a 10/10!

Get a glass of fresh-squeezed OJ, and a side of pickles and hummus to start off. Can't go wrong with the Moroccan Benedict or Goat Cheese Omelette.

Grilled curry chicken sandwich and a glass of Spanish red wine at the counter is one of my new favorite lunch in East Village

One of my fav restaurants. The grilled chicken skewer is delicious and extra yummy with a side of hummus. They have the best falafel I've tried as well. If I'm alone, I'll eat outside and people watch

Get the Chicken Tagine in the Charmoulla sauce and the Duvel to wash it down. You'll thank me later.
Nader NouraeeAugust 15, 2014
Try the chicken tagine with lemon and olives and couscous. Then follow it up with a glass of mint tea and warm baklava. Incredibly good.
Kathryn DJanuary 31, 2018
Always delicious and with a festive but not overwhelming crowd. Mezze platter to start and then vegetable tagine if on special.

Hummus w/ hot sauce that is amazingly hot. Duck confit that's always on the specials menu & comes w/ amazing fries. The Bastilla. Yummy salads. Lamb tagine w/ apricots & prunes. So much is so good!

Everything is amazing! Brunch- middle eastern eggs. Dinner- tagine, couscous, Greek salad. Neighborhood favorite!
David MilbergDecember 29, 2016
The service at this place is fantastic and their food is just as good. If you are ever looking for a brunch spot, this is your place!
Candace ChangJuly 23, 2013
If you're looking to eat somewhat healthy, the vegetable tagine with couscous was amazing !! Loved it. Definitely coming back to try brunch
Leila AliMarch 27, 2014
Best brunch spot downtown. Their chicken tagine/couscous is to die for! And the mango cocktail is so good! Best cappuccino in town. When in doubt, go to mogador.
Bern RAugust 24, 2014
It's all about the Tagines here! But honestly ALL the food and drink are beyond delish- well worth the long waits on busy nights.
Hannah TreasureOctober 20, 2013
Amazing brunch! I got the Middle Eastern Eggs.... Make sure you get something that comes with pita bread, srsly best pita I've ever had! 🙆💓
Lisa SosaMarch 15, 2020
The middle eastern breakfast was great- pita was perfect and hummus was 💯
Susan S.May 30, 2015
Great hummus plate and the steak with French fries is unreal! Good Turkish coffee as well.
Stephanie JohnsonDecember 5, 2010
middle eastern eggs (poached) were splendid. every element I need in a great breakfast: great poach, good bread for yolk soaking, some yummy greens and a good spread option to combine the elements.
Jason AndersonAugust 6, 2014
First time checking this place out. Great atmosphere. I tried the duck and it was very good! Can't wait to come back!
Lulu QassJune 14, 2018
It’s a must to try , the tow eggs with halomi OMG , plus falafel i loooove ittt
Brooklyn365July 27, 2011
One of our favorite East Village haunts. Sit at the bar, chat up the mix of locals and have one of the best $9 eggs/potatoes/toast/oj/espresso this side of the East River.
HolidayOctober 11, 2016
One of the best places in NYC, and kitsch east village. Breakfast, lunch or brunch do hulumi and eggs.
Kathy LiuFebruary 15, 2015
Lamb and chicken tagline were both delicious! Friend said her couscous was the best she's ever had.
Guan LiAugust 25, 2015
Great hummus, other things are good as well, but wouldn't be a spot to make a special trip to, but a go-to place if I happen to be around.
Valentina MonteMarch 2, 2015
Lamb tagine, safron with cous cous. Hummus and baba and tabouleh and salad app platter is a divine meal itself.
Fatima Al HashimiAugust 17, 2019
Amazing breakfast/brunch. Love sitting in the terrace.

With an outdoor seating area that looks out on St. Marks Place, you'll have plenty of people watching to keep you busy. Alternatively, the bartenders are great company as well.
Manda ShettletonJanuary 4, 2016
Chicken Tagine in lemon olive sauce was perfect. Unfortunately, lamb shank was dry and unseasoned. Cozy, lively, romantic.
Calvin MultanenJanuary 10, 2015
A little pricey but the food is pretty good. The chicken and meatball tagines were great
Patrick BaskinMarch 26, 2015
Brunch is awesome, can't go wrong with their pita bread & poached eggs
FotisNovember 2, 2016
low key restaurant at the east village with big range of choices. it can get busy and loud but the services is always good.
JessicaNovember 24, 2014
Chicken tagine with spicy green sauce! Just a really great and comfy spot. Check out East Village books next door!

The fish tagine is my absolute favorite! You csn also pay extra to have it turned into a seafood tagine! Amazing!
New York HabitatNovember 16, 2011
Consistently good Moroccan food here. Try the Lamb Tagine or the Cous-Cous Merguez and after your meal take a stroll through Tompkins Square Park.
Kaisa HernbergJuly 11, 2016
Loved this place! If I lived nearby, I'd come here every day. The sabich sandwich is super tasty.
AlexAugust 1, 2016
the sabich sandwich really spoke to me. also the tagine is heaven sent.
Serious EatsNovember 18, 2013
Charming Middle Eastern spot popular for brunch. Tagines are a must-order, especially the lamb.
Dee PhunkDecember 6, 2010
My fave spot for Mediterranean eats. Perfect East Village ambiance. Always crowded on Fri / Sat nights + no reservations. The merguez cous-cous or any of the tagines are sure shot orders. Read more

Gorgeous! Everything but the Omelet with goat cheese and spinach... out of range!!

Best brunch in the city x10. No obnoxious brunchers + relatively easy to get a seat + AMAZING food (of course)
AditiJuly 25, 2016
Skip the octopus. Falafel may be even better than mamoons. Chicken from tandoor over was heavenly - just like malai chicken tikka
Allison LiFebruary 3, 2016
Lamb tagine, cous cous, and potato &turnip saffron tastes so good. I'm already dying to go back!

This place is excellent! The meatballs are delicious and the falafel plate hits the spot.
Leah GeogheganOctober 9, 2016
Small and cozy--waiters are helpful and don't rush you. Lamb targine with the apricot/plum sauce was amazing
