Moustache

(Btwn Barrow and Grove Sts)
tel.: 212/229-2220
Location: Btwn Barrow and Grove Sts
Cuisine: Middle Eastern
Price Category: Inexpensive

Moustache (pronounced moo-stah-sh) is the sort of exotic neighborhood spot that's just right. On a quiet side street in the West Village, this charming hole-in-the-wall boasts a cozy Middle Eastern vibe and authentic fare that's both palate-pleasing and wallet-friendly. Delicately seasoned dishes bear little resemblance to the food at your average falafel joint. Expect subtly flavored hummus, tabbouleh, and spinach-chickpea-tomato salad (or a large plate of all three); excellent oven-roasted "pitzas," thin, matzolike pita crusts topped with spicy minced lamb and other savory ingredients; and -- best of all -- fluffy, hot-from-the-oven homemade pita bread, which puts any of those store-bought Frisbees to shame. Moustache is hugely and justifiably popular, so don't be surprised if there's a line -- but it's well worth the wait.
