“Lamb tagine with spicy cilantro and cous cous hit the spot on a cold November day.”
“The eggs come with a warm zahatar pita, a very generous helping of creamy, rich hummus, tabouli and a salad.”
“The restaurant has a location at the back as well, like a greenhouse, which is fun to sit in, if you want to laze in the sun.”

This is a lovely moroccan spot for brunch with a reasonable lunch specials menu and refreshing, hot mint tea. If you're looking for something healthy and filling for brunch, go for the fresh falafel platter or the spicy moroccan eggs. They also have a book exchange!
The middle eastern breakfast ($11) offers a variety of items on the plate starting from a Hummus, 2 poached eggs, a salad, and tabuleh (with a side of pita bread with zatar) . I also ordered a side of home fries ($4) which was a great addition, but priced a bit too high (after all, it's just potatoes)
i was immediately sat down and the waitress was very nice and polite. They have an outdoor garden area which is very lovely, and I'd recommend going there if it's available. There was no line, and the outdoor bar recommended to try the Rose from their wine selection.
Overall, I'd definitely come back to try some of their sandwiches, which weren't offered in the morning.
I have been here for both brunch and dinner and in both cases I was impressed. Frankly speaking second time when we went for dinner here, I didn't choose it because of previous experience as I never remember a name and only remembered this place when we walked into it. Food is good, service is great, BUT their creme brulee is amazing and phenomenal. I love creme brulee and this place astounded me! wow! five stars only for this. They only have two restrooms but it has never been a problem for us.
Brunch at Cafe Mogodor feels a bit "been there, done that." While good, the food isn't great enough to wait in line for. Pretty standard brunch fare with a twist of Moroccan-ness via tabouli and pita equatable to the kind you can get at the store.
My friend and I dropped by for some lunch this afternoon.
I absolutely loved the decor the moment I walked in. They were rather busy at lunch service but a waitress came over and had us seated right away. We did request if they had outdoor seating but the back was full so we took indoor seats.
Once we were seated a bus boy came over with two glasses of water and that's where the good service ended. We sat for about 10 minutes while waitstaff kept passing by but no one thought to bring us menus. After 10 minutes and me being a little frustrated I flagged down a waiter who graciously brought us some menus.
Not even 5 seconds of our menus being on our tables a waitress comes over and asks if we're ready to order. I found that quite comical even though it wasn't actually funny.
Finally, we go through the menu and YAY! They have the couscous that I love. When our waitress came back, we ordered a bunch of apps. Hummus, Babganush, Falafel, Pita, Pickles & Olives. We then ordered the vegetarian couscous, a glass of red and one Rośe.
The only reason I cannot give this place 5 stars is for service. The food was absolutely delicious. I, who is not a fan of hummus and Babganush really really enjoyed it. The taste and textures were all very pleasing. The falafel was just as tasty.
I used to get the vegetarian couscous at a different Cafe but they stopped selling it. Now that I found it here at Mogador, aside for service, I am completely sold! They cook the couscous in butter which gives it a soft and airy texture as well as delicious tastes from the cooked veggies piled on top. A definite must get.
I really do like this place. I just wish service would be that bit better.
packed, even on a tuesday night at ten. really cute candelit place. the mezze platter is phenomenal- especially the hummus and eggplant. the grilled calamari appetizer and the salmon are great add ons as well.
Great Moroccan food! I had the fish tagine, which was flavor but not over the top. The spicy broth was special but it wasn't that much. My friend liked her chicken tagine. I tried hers and thought the sauce was also very unique. First Moroccan food experience in New York.
Decent lunch special. Had the eggs normandy but wasn't amazed by the food. The coffee was good but I felt like I overpaid a bit for something I could've gotten anywhere else.
