The cozy atmosphere is complemented by Mustafa's hospitality and passion for his craft. While the food may take some time to prepare, it is well worth the wait. Guests can expect flavorful dishes like lamb shank and chicken tagine. The restaurant itself is a living work of art, adorned with Mustafa's handmade decor that adds to the charm of the place. While the space may be small and the service may be a bit slow due to it being a one-man-show, the overall experience and quality of the food make Mombar a must-visit spot for those looking for a taste of Egypt in NYC.
