What People Are Saying About Moustache

The Scene
Moustache operates on a simple philosophy: Serve savory, affordable Middle Eastern food in a cozy, urbane setting--and keep that puffed-up, fresh-out-of-the-oven pita coming to the table. During warmer months, guests can grab a table in the lovely garden out back. The only drawback is the service, which suffers noticeably during peak hours.
The Food
Start off with a mix of salads (babaganouj, chick pea-spinach-and-tomato, etc.) and move on to a sandwich, sliced leg of lamb or merguez sausage wrapped in a pita, or try a "pitza" for one.

I don't usually write reviews for restaurants but I saw 2 awful reviews that I HAD to respond to. What the heck were they talking about???? I've been a customer at this restaurant for ten years and I never had a bad experience once! the food is top notch -healthy and fresh, just the way I like it, and the staff very friendly. The only con I can say about the place is that sometimes the place is so crowded, the service can be on the slower side. But what the heck, it's well worth the wait. And you CAN't beat the prices for the quality you get. Unsanitary?? if that was the case dude(ett), the place wouldn't have been around for 20 odd years (and still going strong by the way, they just opened a 3rd location in east harlem I've been told). So to those fools who wrote the nasty comments, I wonder, are you from a competitor? My favorite items on the menu: the Ouzi and all the delicious pitzas. And yeah, the loomi drink is an incredible blend of tart, bitter sweet. A must try.

If you have time to spare (table service is rather slow), this local Middle Eastern restaurant is pretty good. The garlic-loaded chicken pitza (pizza baked on pita bread) is tasty, as is the leg of lamb with mint mayonnaise. Cash only and the prices are reasonable.

Awesome place. I keep coming back for the food. I especially like their ground lamb pitza -the spices are 'just right' and it comes on a very thin crust. The decor is simple; there is a small courtyard in the back which I prefer to the seating in the front. Thus, I find it to be a great choice for a casual dinner/lunch.
