This place is a “don’t miss” if you are traveling and looking for a unique breakfast brunch lunch or dinner in Williamsburg. I live in the neighborhood and while it’s only been here a few years, the original location in the East Village was around for at least 25 years since I was a kid at NYU. The menu will satisfy everyone, it’s not just Moroccan/exotic I would describe more like a general Mediterranean with Moroccan specialties. I’m not particularly patient and if there’s a long wait at a restaurant I tend to go elsewhere but this place is worth the wait and they handle the brunch crowds efficiently. Everyone should eat here at least once, they never disappoint!!

I had a wonderful dinner at Cafe Mogador with my daughter! The restaurant had a great vibe and the food was amazing. We ordered hummus, labne with zahatar and Greek salad to start. All three were delicious, and the accompanying pita was warm and amazing. We ordered couscous with chicken and chicken kebab for entrees. Both were very good, but the chicken couscous was our favorite. Highly recommend!

We had the most delicious brunch at Cafe Mogador in Brooklyn. The staff were friendly and approachable and the food absolutely delicious.
For something a bit different, I’d recommend Cafe Mogador without any hesitation!
We visited in the middle of the week and quite late (at 11) and the restaurant was nearly full, so I recommend a booking.

We had an absolutely amazing meal here. The service couldn't have been better, and the food definitely brought us back to Casablanca!
Starters of Hummus and Greek Salad were perfect. Everything was fresh and served with warm pita. Our entrees included Vegetable CousCous, a chicken Tagine, and Lamb Shank. The lamb fell off the bone, the couscous with raisins and caramelized onions was delicious, and the chicken was so flavorful!
After dinner, we shared a walnut baklava and a perfectly baked molten chocolate cake. Of course, we topped the whole meal off with mint tea!
The service and ambience were great. Can't wait to go again!

We saw a Moroccan restaurant near our hotel. The menu has enough choice. Not everything was available anymore due to the war in Israel. Upon entering there was a young lady with a curmudgeon face, but fortunately the lady who helped us at the table knows her trade. We had a nice meal and drinks.

We had a wonderful brunch at Cafe Mogador on the Monday of Labor Day weekend. It was a beautiful day and the restaurant was fully packed. Despite the crowd, the service was excellent. Our waiter was attentive without being intrusive. The vibe at Cafe Mogador is warm and welcoming.
The food was excellent. My husband ordered a salmon dish that was one of the specials being offered that day. He said it was possibly the best salmon he had ever eaten! I had the falafel dish, it was delicious. My cousin (vegetarian and gluten free) ordered the hummus and tahini, she loved it.
I would certainly recommend this charming restaurant.

We just beat the late morning rush for brunch - our lucky day! The joint was jumping, the food was terrific, and the coffee was good. The food is Moroccan inspired but my dish had the most amazing flaky Yemeni bread. The labne was perfection, as was the baba ganoush. A great place to stop!

If you are into Moroccan cuisine, Cafe Mogador does not disappoint! Favs include the outrageously delectable falafel...(made me want to never again eat falafel at places I have defaulted to just because I was in the mood for it...) The Chicken Tagine with apricots was off the charts delicious...
In a birthday party of eight people, we were all scraping our dishes, licking our chops and anxious for more! Don't miss it!

Plenty of options on the menu for brunch. I chose the Middle Eastern breakfast and added a merguez sausage. Delicious. The hummus and the zaa'tar were especially fine dishes. Hope to be back very soon.

Perfect ambiance, good food, excellent service, especially our waitress. So stylish. Was like being back in Europe. If it weren't such a schlep from mt flat, I'd be there every week. Oh - reasonably priced as well. So glad to know my old Mogador of the East Village, that I learned is still open, is also alive and well in Brooklyn too.

The food was absolutely delicious! Kebabs, tagine, all of it was terrific. Ample portions and reasonable prices. The service was pleasant and attentive. Attractive decor with outdoor seating available also. Gluten free options. Wish we could have returned for more meals here!

Service: 5-Stars - We had to ask for manual changes, an increase in party and seating accommodations, which they handled with grace, efficiency and a huge smile!
Ambiance is quaint and Middle East-esque, without being offensive or overbearing.
Food is delish, some dishes better than others. The Falafal Hummus Platter arrives with a nice saucer-plate size amount of Hummus but would do better with six (6) Falafals instead of four (4). They're good but both Hummus and Falafals NEED a touch of salt to bring out their best flavors.
Same with the Lamb Shanks in the Tagine dishes. Both Tagines needed accompanying sauces, the Chickpea with Caramelized Onions and the Chermoulla to make the lamb sing. However, the best sauce was the garlicky, herby Chermoulla, which should be bottled and sold. We HAD TO request MORE!!!
The Grilled Lamb Keftas were seasoned well and charred nicely over a bed of Jasmine rice and grilled tomatoes.
The Kale salad was mountainous with matchstick cut added red apple slivers. It comes dressed in a light vinaigrette. A grilled piece of Salmon was added, which turned it into a full-sized meal.
We had a small bowl of both their hot sauce, which, again, needed salt to be its best and their ketchup, which was delish. The ketchup tasted housemade but could've been a premium organic brand. It was tangy and full of flavor. We used the ketchup to flavor the Falafals and Hummus.
The Cheesecake is lemon based, not too tart. Homemade crust was a cross between shortbread and Graham cracker crust. The texture of the cake was a mix between light and dense, like Cheesecake Factory & Junior's had a lovechild. It was covered in a mild Caramel sauce with four (4) slivers of red apples. Really good!
They had a good variety of cocktails and Old World wines, with a decent mix of styles: Alvarinos, Lambeuscos and CdPs. The table RAVED about their fresh Lemonade. It was REALLY good! Also, strong Turkish coffee to end the night.
Overall, excellent dining experience and would definitely return with more family and friends!

Engaging waitress and hostess. Helpful with the menu. We were in the garden room which was a perfect environment. Not familiar with Moroccan food but it was amazingly good. Dinner appetizer tea dessert all great.

Tagines! Couscous! Falafel! Oh So Good! Really enjoyed the couscous but the lamb shank tagine got amazing table reviews. The entire meal was spot-on from the fresh feta salad and the hummus platter through the main courses. Located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn and a little out-of-the-way, I would highly recommend this Moroccan delight. The restaurant is attractive, leaning to hip, and the service was excellent.
