My friend and I wanted to try something new and we met Krystal! She was smiling when we came through the door❤️. She was very supportive in helping us to make our selections. We came back today and she was the first face we saw and the experience was even better. The food was delicious and exceeded our expectations!! We will be back!!!

My second visit to Mezeh will be my last for a long time. The reason? The dining room was filthy. I stopped by for a late lunch at 3:15 on a weekday afternoon. When I walked in, I was the only customer. Only two others came in during my visit. Thus, the restaurant was not busy. The restaurant was also empty the first time I visited it. Perhaps this is why: two people were behind the counter. Yet, when I carried my tree into the dining room, I discovered that it looked like it had not been cleaned for hours. I walked from table to table finding each one filthy with food remnants, drink lids, straw wrappers etc. Appalled by what I saw, I thought of taking my meal to my car and eating in the parking lot. I eventually found one single table that did not have food remnants on it. I did, however, suspect someone else had eaten at it without it being cleaned. So I ate at the table, but it was hard to enjoy the meal under those conditions. When I went to return my tray and throw away my trash, I saw that area was disgusting. I don’t know when it was last cleaned. I do not understand how the dining room was allowed to get to that point. As with other restaurants, I wonder if they let the dining room (which is in public view) be in that condition, what is the kitchen and other non-public areas like? The condition of the dining room was so offputting, I don’t intend to return there, or any Mezeh, any time soon. Maybe this was not how the dining room typically looks, but that’s how it appeared when I chose to eat there. And that is all I can go by. If I go there again, and that is a big if, I will look at the dining room condition before making a decision as to whether to purchase food there. Clearly, restaurant cleanliness was not a priority when I visited. Where was management? Only one star because I can in no way recommend a restaurant with dining room conditions like that.

Horrible customer service every time I go in this location. Menu items not available every time. Today I went in and workers were talking with a friend and then focused on their phone. Couldn’t pay attention long enough to listen to my order. I will go to CAVA when I am on this side of town.

Although the staff assured that the meal is free from hot spices, it was not!Owner, you asked what can you do to improve my experience. Just be honest and teach your staff to follow you. Your reputation is much more important that your money.

SoOoOo good. The vibe inside was low-key & chill and the staff was friendly & helpful. And ??don't??get??me??started??on the food. Delicious and a lot! Definitely has my recommendations & will be going again!

I am surprised this place isn't jam packed, because the food is top notch and better than I expected. In fact, I know what I like but with the great selection, I am always willing to try something new here.

The food was amazing, as always!!! I didn't get the chance to share the full bowl, picture. Just couldn't stop eating! ??We got the lamb and steak shawarma.We got adult bowls. Those are about $15.

Great spot for a fresh and healthy bowl, wrap or pita pocket! Fresh ingredients, friendly staff! The highlight for me was the veggie kefta, tabbouleh and the cauliflower rice, my wife especially enjoyed the caramelized eggplant. Will be back!

Love Mezeh. Good food, great and unique drink options and decent prices.

Love this place! Good food, fresh, lots of choices and flavors. Fast and reasonably priced. Been back and was just as good.
