Mombar is a restaurant located in Astoria's Little Egypt, known for its one-man show experience. The owner, Mostafa, welcomes customers, provides background on the restaurant, serves as the server, and cooks meals from scratch. The menu features dishes such as branzino, lamb, chicken tagine, lamb shank, fava beans, hummus, and a highly recommended duck. Customers praise the honest and true taste of the food, describing it as a delicious home-cooked meal in an Egyptian house. The dishes taste good and satisfy cravings, with prices that are very good for NYC. The staff handles special requests with gracious accommodation and is helpful without being too present. The restaurant’s cozy, rustic ambiance is filled with detailed and artistic decor, including paintings on tables and walls made by Mostafa himself. This spot is known for its great taste, with food that dissolves in the mouth, and a staff that ensures a pleasant experience. It is recommended to arrive early as the restaurant tends to fill up quickly, and customers should bring around $40-$80 cash since it is cash only. Overall, Mombar remains a favorite for those seeking authentic Egyptian cuisine in a warm, inviting atmosphere.
