As a Mediterranean food LOVER, This place is pretty solid. There's absolutely no ambiance in the…read morerestaurant and the tables and chairs are very blah and the place is extremely conservative. I felt like when we went here we were at a friends house and she was cooking for us. There was literally one lady working in the entire restaurant. She took our order then got to work. The food was pricey and my sister and I with our 2 small kids the bill with drinks was $75. Times are tough and restaurants are feeling the crunch! So I believe their prices are the norm nowadays. All that being said; everything was fresh. The garlic sauce is on point as well as the fresh pita bread. The hummus is good and the chicken is well seasoned. The fries were dry and needed salt. The rice was not my fave but it did the job. Overall it's pretty good give it a try.

They started us off with warm bread and butter, which was absolutely delicious. I had the chicken shish, and it was cooked to perfection. The chicken was juicy and full of flavor. The vegetables added an amazing balance, and the rice was so good I could have eaten it by itself. The restaurant was very clean inside. The only slight inconvenience was that there was just one single-stall restroom, so there was a bit of a wait to use it. Other than that, everything was really great. The gentleman, Emerson, was a wonderful host, making sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely be back to try the other plates!

The hummus/eggplant was ok, I've had much better. Salad was boring. Yoghurt drink was the only interesting tasty thing. Combo plate was flavorless. Which is sad bc the meat and chicken were moist and cooked well but it was a pound of rice and skewers with very little to no salt or flavor and zero sauce or anything to fix it. we waited for our server to come back and do a check, or refill our empty waters or offer anything on the side. never saw her again. mid meal my friend got super nauseous and faint and had to step outside and we needed to box and pay the check immediately. She needed water and fresh air and no one was around for the water so she went to the car. I got up and walked around looking for anyone. I even went to the kitchen opening and yelled hello... no one.I went out to the patio and found Eugenia who I asked for help. She was super apologetic and helpful. Got us boxes, Got our check. Paid our check. Brought us change. Apologized. Still haven't seen our server yet. Never even gave us her name. we left and I should have given the tip to Eugenia but I was rushing to get my friend home who was sweating and looked like she might puke. In all, great location, horrible execution. Won't be back....

The food was absolutely delicious -- fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. You can really taste the quality in every bite. Whether it's the tender meats, or the fresh veggies and sauces, everything comes together beautifully. What truly made my visit stand out, though, was the exceptional service. A very special thank you to my cashier/hostess, Aranzta! She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely warm. She made the ordering process easy, answered my questions with a smile, and made me feel completely taken care of. It's rare to find service that leaves such a positive impression. Great food + amazing service = a place I'll absolutely be coming back to. Highly recommend Zaky Mediterranean Grill -- and if you're lucky enough to be helped by Aranzta, you're in great hands!

I finally stopped by Mezzaterranean and went straight for the Trio Plate, and it did not…read moredisappoint. If you're looking for the definitive Lebanese experience in the IE, this is the order to beat. The Breakdown: * The Trio Grill: You get a sampling of everything--chicken, beef, and kefta kebabs. The chicken kebab was the standout for me; it was incredibly tender and had that perfect open-flame char that you just can't replicate at home. * Baba Ghanoush: This was a smoky revelation. You can taste the fire-roasted eggplant in every bite, and the texture was perfectly whipped and creamy without losing its soul. It's easily some of the best in the area. * Tabouleh: So many places use too much bulgur, but Mezzaterranean does it right. It was a bright, herbaceous explosion of fresh parsley and lemon that cut through the richness of the grilled meats perfectly. * The Extras: It all comes together with their fluffy rice and warm pita. Pro tip: use the pita to make little "mini-tacos" with a piece of chicken, a dollop of baba ghannouj, and a pinch of tabouleh. The Verdict: The portions on the Trio Plate are massive (definitely enough to share, though you might not want to). Everything tasted fresh, vibrant, and authentic. It's clear this family-run spot puts a lot of heart into their recipes. 10/10, will be back for more of that garlic sauce!

I visited this Middle Eastern restaurant on a weekday at noon, so it wasn't very busy and just one…read moreother customer dining at the time. I was warmly greeted by a lovely lady who seemed to be both the manager and the waitress. The restaurant has a vintage style; it's set in an old building, giving it a vibe, but honestly, it looked a bit worn down and didn't seem that clean especially the restroom, which also didn't appear very sanitary. For food, I tried the sujuk appetizer: a spicy sausage with sautéed veggies. Unfortunately, it wasn't like what I've had before; something about the taste was off, and I didn't enjoy it. I also ordered the mixed grill plate, which came with three portions: chicken, ground beef, and steak. The steak was actually quite good, and I really enjoyed that, but the chicken didn't taste like a young, fresh chicken; it was like one of those big, hormone-fed birds. The rice was not fresh and it was a warm up from the day before. Overall, I didn't really like the food quality and didn't feel like it matched the price at all. On the plus side, the service was really nice; that lady was very kind and genuine. One odd thing was that there was nothing on the table; no salt, pepper, napkins, or sauces. you have to ask for everything. And since the railroad is so close, you occasionally hear a loud train passing by. All in all, despite the warm service, I probably won't be coming back.

I was invited here as a part of a company dinner on a Friday night. Not sure if the place was…read morebooked solely for us or if they were just having a slow night. Our company had about 30 guests attend and aside from us there was about 3-4 other tables booked nearby that weren't part of our group. The place is pretty big and they had a dancer along with a singer perform. There wasn't a menu to order from, they just brought out multiple appetizers and sides for us which was great for me! Since I haven't really explored Mediterranean food, it was great being able to nibble here and there with all the different side salads, hummus etc. The main course was also provided the same, plates for the whole table to choose from different meat options as well as rice. Everything was delicious!

I was meeting up with a friend who had arrived about 20 minutes before me, not only did nobody greet them at the entrance to seat, but my friend ended up seating themselves because nobody approached them.

When I arrive and I come to seat myself, and the restaurant had a good amount of people there, including a ton of children essentially running around. I let one of the workers know we've sat down at the location we did and I go and take my seat. We wait another 15 minutes and nobody come says anything to us....despite SEEING us there, I made sure of it...

When we first walked in it was very quiet and it definitely had that small mom and pop feel. The food was amazing. The chicken was juicy and packed with flavor, the rice was incredibly good, and the salad with the dressing was fresh and perfectly balanced. My fiancée loved her garlic chicken as well. The real surprise was the dolmeh. I've never really been a big fan, but these were hands down some of the best we've ever had, full of flavor and perfectly made. Before we left the owner came in and was very warm and welcoming. The food impressed us so much that I actually called the restaurant later to thank them. Just goes to show you should never judge a place by how quiet it looks. Authentic, delicious food and a great small family owned business. We will definitely be back.

Can't say I'd return. If the price was more reasonable maybe I'd be less annoyed.
