North of 96th Street

…8 blocks north

I’m really excited that this place has decided to make the move to Spanish Harlem! Good middle eastern food is hard to find in this area and they fit the bill. The main attraction are the “pitzas” which dont really standup to the hype. If you do want to try one, split the green pitz, which comes with a mix of leeks and scallions, as an appitizer.

The real winners are the sandwiches. Their merguez sausage sandwich is one of my favorite dishes, and for $9 its a great price. Also their falafel is crispy on the outside, and soft and well seasoned on the inside. The dips are pretty standard but well excecuted , although its kind of annoying that you have to pay for each individual pita. Overall, Moustache is a welcome addition to the small restaurant row that’s appearing on Lex.

Price: $7-$15

What I would try next time:  Chicken Kabab sandwich
