Monday Dinner: Moustache

Monday night meal at the West Village location of Moustache with Zubair and Anatolii. There's a Moustache in the East Village and Upper East Side, but this location tastes best. It must be a combination of the company, setting...and of course, the food ;)

In general, when it comes to restaurants/shops with East and West Village locations, I tend to prefer the West. More charming. Less gritty. Case in point: The Hummus Place. But I'll save that for another post.

Below, photos from dinner at Moustache.

Ayran - Yogurt Drink

Labneh - Creamy Homemade Yogurt

Babaganoush - Grilled Eggplant with Tahini and Garlic

Lentil And Bulghar Salad - Lentils, Bulghur and Fried Onions

Fresh Pita

Lahambajin Pitza - Ground Lamb, Onion, Tomato, Parsley and Spices

Ouzi - Chicken, Carrots, Sweet Peas, Onions, Raisins, Almonds, Basmati Rice and Special Spices enclosed in Filo and served with a Yogurt Sauce

Chicken Kebab Plate - Chicken Breast with Cilantro, Garlic and Lentil Puree

Okees. Am off to showing appointments, and then custard at Shake Shack! Custard flavour of the day = Salted Caramel...ohlala.

I'm sorry, but whenever I see the name "Moustache," I always imagine the 19th century looking guy who ties women to train tracks...and he wears a cape.
