"Cafe Mogador has been serving modern takes on traditional Moroccan dishes for breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner in the East Village since 1983, and the recommendations of passersby like Syvan Mandel, Cara Flaherty, Jasmine Imani, Laura Brown, Sybil Domond and Nicole Hokayem prove that the restaurant has serious staying power. Order the Moroccan Eggs for a sampling of their homemade hummus and tabouli with a side of fresh za’atar to start your day." - Passerbuys
"With great tasting food, this neighborhood staple is much better than its East Village counterpart. Sit in the back under the lovely covered Moroccan-type garden complete with a skylight." - Krrb
"I love their Greek salad, but all of their salads are just incredible. My husband is from Israel, and when we're there visiting family, I enjoy the food more than words can even explain. Cafe Mogador is the closest you can get to that in Manhattan." - brennan carley
"You look good in those new sunglasses, which is why you blew your dining budget and survived on Nature Valley bars for the past week. But your wallet has started to recover, and now it’s time for brunch. Eat some Moroccan-influenced breakfast on the sidewalk at Cafe Mogador, where there should be enough sun to justify your purchase. Everybody waiting out front looks like they tried on multiple outfits before leaving the apartment this morning, but the food is very good." - hannah albertine, matt tervooren
"This Moroccan spot is open every day for lunch, dinner, and that awkward time in between when wanting a drink and having an empty stomach are like the devil and angel on your shoulder pulling you in different directions. Fortunately, it’s a dilemma Mogador can help solve thanks to their daily Happy Hour from 4-6pm that includes a free mezze with the purchase of two drinks." - matt tervooren
