Moroccan Restaurant · East Village · 402 tips and reviews
Luke Hristou: Hummus is amazing, middle eastern eggs amazing, omelette is amazing
Evan: 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.
Charlottes: I loved my Mediterranean breakfast - poached eggs, tabouli, hummus and za'atar bread. Really fresh and delicious. Can't wait to return and work my way through menu.

Steven Benario: Lamb hummus is fantastic, but not an entree. Great to share between 2 people for an app or meze!
Heena: Amazing place! Loved the pita with zaatar they bring. Hummus was good. Loved arnabeet mekle (cauliflower) - a little lemony. Fattoush was really good! Hubster found his chicken Kabob to be dry.
Nikki Wegner: Great food and service. Love the cauliflower, couscous, hummus- the complimentary dip is the best!

naveen: the most amazing shawarma (especially when paired with the whole wheat). get the hummus on the side and save it for a good late-afternoon snack
Jonathan D.: Hummus sandwich, side of falafel and mango drink: $5!

Oskar von Hauske: Get the hummus shawarma and mixed grill plate
Walid Mezher: Hummus, halloum cheese, sausages, mixed grill to mention a few
Jag Firerwalker: Every time I'm here I fall in love more and more. The fries and hummus, together, are outstanding

Douglas Turner: Obviously I'm biased, but I've been with Pangea for some time... We pride ourselves on our hi-standard for fresh ingredients... from in house curry, hummus, fresh drink purées, to unique main courses!
Beverly Facey: One of my favorite restaurant. I am bias since I know the owners, but the ambiance is great. Love the hummus, pasta and once upon a time many years ago , the best Tiramisu. Pasta is great and any fish

Matthew Hurst: The hummus plate is large - practically a full meal of its own. Order a plate of veggie goodness, and wash it down with a fresh lemonade on a hot summer day!
Adam: The hummus doesn't stand to Israeli standards
ᴡ Elliot: Surprisingly hard to get work done, but it's good for lunch. The hummus sandwich is best on Rosemary ciabatta

Jackie Ferrer: Yall- this place can be $$$ but here are the key items to buy 1) sirracha is $1 cheaper 2) the cheese section is OOC 3) mcclures Bloody Mary mix is $3 cheaper 4) homemade garlic hummus is da bomb
Drew Sickler: Great market that has lower prices than Whole Foods and similar type of produce. Make sure you grab easy dinner to-go with a $9.99 Chicken Dinner special with two sides!
Jon Steinback: This place goes nuts with free samples - cheeses, olives, gherkins, pastries, and soups. They're tasty, which helps wash away the guilt of not buying anything.

AmateurConcierge: The ackee is more like hummus than guacamole, and it's pretty good. Burger was an interesting take.
Duane: The ackee hummus was an unexpected delight - we couldn't get enough! My escoveitch fish was well done - tasted just like what I would get on a Jamaican beach.
Devonta: my Oxtail Stew was delicious. The ambiance was organic with great reggae playing. A lil loud and small. Make reservations.

Louie Montan: Awesome raw hummus platter, try the spaghetti and meatballs (raw also), and leave room for dessert. Not the best in the world but thoroughly guilt-free. The service is not their strength
Erik Finsrud: Pricey but worth it. Sample platter is tasty, nachos come with tons of fresh guac.
nymag: Moby raved about the seitan taquitos here - in his New York Diet, he called the mini-tacos topped with pineapple, guacamole, and salsa "spectacular." Read more.
