PureWow says, "This quaint Moroccan-inspired eatery offers breakfast and an award-winning brunch at both locations in Williamsburg and East Village. We’re fans of the Malawach (flakey Yemenite flatbread, organic egg, spicy grated tomato & labne) and sabich (Iraqi breakfast with roasted eggplant, tahini, organic eggs, spicy grated tomato & amba), but you also can’t go wrong with a family-style mezze or hummus platter."

Eater says, "This raucous Moroccan spot in the East Village draws a young, hip crowd devouring Middle Eastern standards as well as its coveted tagine. The fragrant stew is available with various meats and sauces, but lamb with the spicy green chermoula sauce never fails, especially when blanketed with couscous. There’s an additional Williamsburg location." Read More by Clicking Here...

Fast forward twenty-five years when she moved to New York City, Rivka opened (what would become) one of the most-loved restaurants in the East Village, Cafe Mogador, with her brother.
