I was stuck between the beef and lamb shawarma or the chicken and he made my decision very easy.(ended up getting the beef and lamb) I don't have much of a sweet tooth but I have to say the baklava was something else. Definitely recommend if you're on the area or just visiting.

The restaurant is basically fast casual, not a lot of atmosphere, but if you eat in, they will serve you on real plates. The staff was quite busy the night we were there with carry-out orders, but we still got good service. The portions are huge! We got one appetizer and two entrees, and we ended up with leftovers to take home. I was attracted by the blend of Greek and Indian food. Good falafel, ok samosas, good paneer. We were a bit disappointed by the bread, which was advertised as naan and pita, but seemed to be something in between. Overall, we would return. Lots of vegetarian options.

We had some saganaki as an appetizer, and it was PERFECT! I highly recommend it for anyone trying this place out! For entrees, I got the Dolmades, and Dad got the Pasta Kotopuolo. My domades blew me away, and Dad got his first taste of Greek food in a few good years and he said he loved it! I got a few bites of his too, and I swear I died and went to heaven, it was too good! We also got some Greek lemon potatoes, and any chance to have potatoes is a good day! Pretty good portion sizes with everything, too! We also got my little cousin a gyro to go, and it DID NOT disappoint! The place was very fancy-looking, and had Greek music playing throughout the restaurant, so it really felt very cool and interesting! We met the owner(?), and she was very kind, and assured me about my nut allergy right off the bat Our server, kim, was very attentive, and made sure everything was absolutely 100% perfect before anything If I'm ever in Williamsburg again, im stopping by! 10/10

So let's start with the positives. Accessible parking, nicely decorated interior and a friendly and…read morehelpful waiter. We ordered scordalia (Greek penicillin) as our appetizer and it came with Pita. It was a large portion and had good flavors of garlic and lemon. One of the specials of the day was the boneless marinated leg of lamb ( Arniso Boutaki Me Meli). My wife and I both ordered it and boy were we disappointed. It came with seasonal vegetables and lemon potatoes. What we got was tough grey lamb with a sauce that looked reminiscent of Salisbury steak. It didn't have much flavor and it was NOT tender. I cook lamb frequently and this was horrible. I could guarantee it was most likely microwaved and not braised in a rich sauce like it should be. We came after a long day exploring Williamsburg and we were so so hungry. The only real edible part was the vegetables. Also I wish they would give you more than 3 potato wedges. The potato could also use more of a lemon flavor it was hardly noticeable. The only reason we didn't give it 1 star was because our waiter gave us 10% off the entire bill because we complained about the dish.

If it is your first time, take your time and ask questions... there are plenty of dressings and I recommend getting the ones you end up picking out on the side. Be aware, there are a lot of vegetable options. And, there is olive oil. Service was good! It did seem like they were short staffed considering someone in the back started to help the only staff member getting orders after the line started to get longer. The place was clean; however, the metallic flatware was not very well cleaned. I would go to Mezeh again.

If they aren't part of the decor, it was a treat nonetheless. We stepped inside from the rain with a parking spot very near the door. I snapped a pic on the way in to capture it's essence. We risked another walk-in with no reservations, and we snagged two prime end seats on the communal table. There were two open seats at the bar as well; might come in handy some other rainy Thursday night. The server, Murphy M., judging by the receipt, who helped my partner and I with our order, was a gracious host and incredibly well-practiced. It was a master class in serving, made effortless by him. He could not have been more accommodating, as we saw him appear inevitably at the exact right moments. Our server offered us bread and oil before the appetizer. The bread here is made fresh daily. It was so soft, I could not tell the difference from store bought. The food was exquisitely well prepared, the chefs and kitchen staff are immensely skilled. The appetizer was presented to us within a relatively short amount of time. We had time for a short discussion before the it arrived. The Tiropita was described as "four pieces of heaven." Accurate. The phyllo was thin and crisp, and the feta was creamy and delicious. I was careful not to bite too hard and ruin my pants. I had the Kotopoulo, which is a feta-brined oven-baked chicken with lemon and herbs served with lemon potatoes. The dish was cooked to perfection. The cooked potatoes were exactly as I like them, soft yet held their shape. It was an excellent meal, if a bit unwieldy (it's like half a rotisserie chicken, basically). My partner had the Hilopites, an egg noodle dish with giant beans, pine nuts, kalamata olives, cherry tomatoes, and feta, in a creamy, savory sauce that I couldn't begin to describe with mere words. The meals were both stunning, made unclear by my disastrous photography. All that being said, I did not really enjoy my meal as I was expecting. Maybe it's me, maybe it's today, or maybe the flavors simply weren't what I am accustomed to with the dozens of Greek restaurants from my past. I'm uncertain, and that's okay sometimes. Either way, it was a fantastic experience, and I will dine here again.

I ordered the Greek Salad with Gyro, the Traditional Hummus, and the Steak Panini -- everything was fresh, flavorful, and prepared beautifully. Our waitress did start off on the wrong foot, and I honestly considered deducting a star. But everyone has a bad day, and to her credit, she returned to our table with a smile and gave us great service for the rest of the meal. I truly appreciated the turnaround.

While also offer items like pizza, pasta, etc. The service was a highlight; both the staff and the fellow guests at the bar were incredibly welcoming and friendly. It's the kind of place where the people make you feel right at home. In terms of value, the pricing is very fair for the portion sizes and quality of the food. Unfortunately, the evening was dampened by a persistent, unpleasant sewage smell throughout the bar area. It was significant enough to make the dining experience difficult and overshadowed what would have otherwise been a very pleasant meal. #Enjoygoodpeople
