    The food is delicious. I especially liked the potatoes that come with the standard brunch. Unlike other places it has lots of space so the waiting time is usually quite short.

    Served with puffy homemade pitas, you can easily make a meal for two from five of the appetizers. Our favorites: fried eggplant with tahini, yogurt with olive oil, and spicy cumin-scented carrots.

    Grab the corner spot at the bar for brunch on a super busy, super crowded weekend morning. Oh and the Turkish coffee is the real deal if that's your thing.

    Spicy carrots, grilled haloumi and lamb tagine with couscous was incredible. Be sure to get some hummus and dunk your pita into it and the spicy red stuff that comes on the side.

    Been there for Sunday brunch and tried Malawach its absolutely delicious. The Yemenite bread they give is yum and so is the labne. Also had Falafel with Tahini and babaganush. Everything was super yum

    One of my favorite brunch places, trick is to arrive before the brunch rush. I've never been disappointed by a meal. Try the Moroccan tea with your meal it's outstanding.

    This menu always pleases my palate as it's always fresh & unique. It can be bustling since it's on St Marks but a great spot for 2. Ask the hostess to seat you away from the door to avoid the draft.

    Love their happy hours at the bar - with wine or drink you get small tapas to spoil your taste buds

    This place is incredible! One of the best breakfast spots in the area. I had Moroccan eggs and I regret coming here on my last day! I could've visited this place again if I had more time. RECOMMENDED

    Great service, great food, great drinks! I had a Oaxacan Sour, The Mixed Platter, and the Lamb Charmoulla. All were amazing! You will not be disappointed.

    The space feels right out of the film Casablanca, romantic lighting et al. Food is delicious; try the potato leek soup & combo platter with naan, hummus and baba ganoush. Can be hard to get a table!

    It's settled - this is my new brunch favorite. A Moroccan twist on classic NYC brunch deviates just far enough from the norm, but still satisfies my Sunday Eggs Benedict cravings

    I always love the food here! The middle eastern appetizer platter is great. And the chicken lemon and olive ravine is Divine! Get a pot of mint tea too!

    Don't be deceived by the simplicity of the menu! The food here is fresh, organic, well prepared and consistent. I always come back for the grilled chicken kebob over basmati rice w/ dollup of yogurt.

    The bastilla, a sweet and savory chicken pastry, is excellent. It takes twenty minutes to prepare. The restaurant has plenty of seating and staff is friendly.

    Go after 5 p.m. when, first off, they bring a lovely tray of small dishes and let you take your pick. Try the cumin-laced beet salad, the verdant tabouli, or the carrot salad. Read more

    Everything on the menu is extremely healthy and delicious. The dishes are large and have a comfort food feeling. The cous cous with chicken has a lot of flavor, it's my favorite dish on the menu.

    Amazing Moroccan food. Get chicken tagine with lemon and olives OR lamb tagine with Casablanca sauce and cous cous! They have a great wine selection too. You might wait a little but it's worth i

    Very nice surprise as we just saw the folks eating outside. Spicy tomato omlette was relish as was the lamb sausage. Wonderful mint tea to compliment the meal. Felt like something out of Casablanca

    Great atmosphere. Some of the best baba ganoush I’ve had — and the vegetable tagine might be the best vegetable dish this meat-lover has had (other than Momofuku’s water spinach...)

    I come here specifically for brunch and always order the same thing, country breakfast with two eggs over easy. I love the labne and Israeli salad on the side. Let's not forget the zahatar pita, yum!

    Loved mezze plates and the lamb tagine. Thought cous cous portion that came with tagine was kinda small, probably because it’s labor intensive to make. Hopefully they give reinforcements upon request

    Fresh pita, creamy hummus, and any kind of tagines. The fare here is flavorful and some of it hearty, but never heavy. A fairly-priced wine list and delicious cocktails makes this my St. Marks go-to.

    The tomato ginger soup was piping hot and just the trick for a cold & rainy day! My lemon and olive chicken tagine was flavorful and took me back to Morocco.

    You'll find all the staples at this low-key Moroccan joint, like babaganoush and merguez sausage sandwiches, plus a few fancy-pants dishes like a bastilla chicken pastry. Read more

    Really good service, super attentive, kept bringing more pita when we finished it! Sat us regardless of the fact they were closing in 30 min, and they didn't rush us out. Better falafel than mamoun's

    My Bastilla was a warm, flaky pastry filled with chicken and slapped with cinnamon - tasty! Although my friends duck confit was divine...fun atmosphere and fast service.

    Try the Middle Eastern Eggs for breakfast. They're healthy and filling. Ask for a side of Harissa if you want a little spice. Show up early to avoid a wait!

    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.

    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.

    The outside area is small & cramped, but the kind manager had a table inside cleaned up for us. The hummus & Moroccan eggs benedict were delicious & flavorful!

    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

    Moroccan tea is a MUST (doesn't need sugar). The veggie or lamb tagin are the way to go. Cozy authentic spot, be prepared for a wait.

    Get the vegetable tagine, has a lot of flavor and vegetables are perfectly cooked. Moroccan tea without sugar and ask for sugar on the side.

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