Cafe Mogador is a longtime East Village Moroccan restaurant on St Marks Place, known for its weekend brunch, tagines, couscous, and merguez sausage. It's a neighborhood institution reviewers describe as reliably busy, with lines and waits reported most nights and especially all day on weekends.
The restaurant welcomes walk-ins at all times and allots seated parties roughly a 2-hour dining window, but it also takes reservations through Resy — so unlike some strict walk-in-only spots, booking ahead is possible. Reviewers have mentioned waits as long as an hour during peak brunch and weekend periods, with some diners choosing to queue rather than book; arriving on a weekday outside of brunch hours, or reserving ahead, are the more reliable ways to skip a wait.

Yes — Cafe Mogador accepts reservations through Resy, and it also welcomes walk-ins at all times, with each seated party generally allotted around a 2-hour dining window.
Reviewers report the longest waits during weekend brunch hours and Friday/Saturday evenings. Weekday hours outside of brunch time are generally described as calmer, and booking ahead on Resy is an option if you'd rather not risk a walk-in wait.
Reported hours are roughly Monday–Thursday 10am–10:30pm, Friday 10am–11:30pm, Saturday 9:30am–11:30pm, and Sunday 9:30am–10:30pm. Always double-check current hours on Resy or the restaurant's own site since they can change.
