CAFE MOGADOR

Another night of exploring beyond Manhattan.  Back to Brooklyn's Williamsburg area, which seems to be my favorite little town in Brooklyn.
I couldn't remember the name of the restaurant except I knew that the place was packed when we walked by last time, after dinner and said to ourselves that we would like to try this.  And so we did!

A good choice indeed.  They serve simple Moroccan food that's well prepared.  Nothing seems to be overcooked. (Nothing that we ordered anyway).

One stop over the East River and we get to eat in a nice garden area like a green house.
We decided to have 4 different kinds of appetizers to share:

The sardines had a very light tomato sauce.  A better version of the canned Portuguese sardines of course.

The Halloumi cheese was served with a grilled skewered vegetables and pieces of bread squares.

The mussels were large and juicy.











The grilled lamb above us delicious served with a salad andon rice.
The lamb tagine in lemon is juicy, tender and lemony.

Above is their homemade bread served with babaganoush.
On the left is the mixed grilled plate with merquez sauce, chicken and lamb served with salad and basmati long grained rice.
I like this restaurant for its value, taste and ambiance.

I asked them if their St. Mark's branch in Manhattan was exactly the same.  They said that the menu has a little difference.
