A very chic Lebanese Restaurant. The service is very good…read more The only waiter there, is very friendly, but yet very serious and professional. the way he served us the food and drinks was more than impressive. The mezza has a wide choice, and if you have a special request they usually comply. We asked for the 7 dishes mezza and asked for an extra plate of Labneh (a less liquid sort of yogurt) and they got it for us with no extra charge. the meza was vegetarian but we also ordered a plate of Kebbe! It was very good. I had the chicken dish: djaj a frike but my friends had the Meat Makloube! It was delicious, much better than the chicken. which was nonetheless really good. We had lebanese wine: Clos St Thomas! I personally loved it. At the end they offered us coffee for free! It was very good. the arabic mocca coffee! Very lebanesy, puts you in the mood! So if you have a special occasion, and you want to have exotic food. And on Fridays as of 9, theres a belly dancer, which unlike i imagined, was not german! She was a pure bread arab belly dancer, and she did a good show, inviting the patrons to dance along, and teach the women to shake their booty! Its the place to go it deserves its 5 stars

We visited this restaurant on a Friday evening with a group of 8. There was a reservation for us to…read moreensure a table, but honestly it was probably unnecessary. The place was not empty, but was not busy for a Friday at 7 pm. For our large group, we ordered 4 rounds of the Bekaa Mesa, their largest assortment of appetizers, to start. This meant that about 30 or so small plates of dips, meats, and finger foods was brought to our table. They were all elegantly prepared, and many of them paired great with the baskets of pita provided for the table (which we had to keep refilling). My only complaint was the unclear response from our server when we asked what dishes had nuts. My partner is allergic to all kinds, so we wanted to know which dishes to avoid. Our servers gestured to some plates but was mostly unclear of which dishes we should for sure avoid. I stressed a little as we ate, but it all went (and tasted) well. After this, some people ordered main meals, dessert, or more appetizers. I personally got another mesa, as I enjoyed being able to taste so many things. My partner got the schisch taouk, and I can say I was jealous. His plate looked amazing. Also note that it comes with half a pita pizza and potatoes, as well as the salad, dip, and chicken listed on the menu. I sampled some of it (when he let me), and it was amazing. In conclusion, I greatly enjoyed my food here. My complaints would be that the menu is not descriptive enough of the dishes, meaning you are not truly sure of what you order. As the partner of someone with many allergies, this can be a source of stress, and we would have appreciated more empathy from the staff with these concerns.

Love it! I wrote a review of Mazza on my blog (before I was on Yelp) and have been telling everyone…read moreI run into that they should try this place out. This Syrian restaurant is gorgeous inside and filled with families and couples sharing dishes with the ones they love. The highlight is definitely the array of appetizer dips, but the other courses are still enjoyable. I just wish that I could eat more, because by the time the desserts came out, I was nearly ready to burst! =) http://amiabroad.com/mazza-hamburg-photos-and-review.html

The service was lovely, especially in regards to keeping wine glasses full, explaining the menu (going the extra kilometer to explain in english the specials), providing quick translations and overall just being very pleasant and excited about the experience. My lamb with veggies in a mint/thyme sauce was elegantly plated and the taste surely matched the looks. A medium portion, just enough to fill up but not be overly full. The cinnamon rice I snagged from across the table was also quite a treat...savory sweet. We had a range of appetizers, the standouts being the falafel and the red beet paste. The dipping sauces for the bread were a bit bland, and the other starters quite small (more like tapas, but smaller) so a bit hard to split amongst the group easily. A lovely dinner for our group of 7. Half German, half American. All happy. *reservations suggested. *cash or German EC only. Total: 200 euros with tip. Not bad at all for the quality and panache of the evening.

There are more authentic Lebanese/Syrian restaurants in Hamburg. The guys made quite an effort so…read moreit's a little bit of a heartbreaker to give them three stars, but it is what it is. The main problem is, that the food really lacks authenticity and yet it comes at a quite high price for what it is. Please trust me on this one I have travelled the entire Middle East and I know what their cuisine is like. As a real Hamburg Docker I'll give you a heads up and recommend looking for another Syrian/Lebanese place to eat.

Every dish a complete piece of artwork and absolutely delicious. We had the 10 piece appetizer plate and as my main entree I tried the lamb shank and I am not sorry I did. Some of the best lamb I have ever had in my life. Tender and delicate beyond belief. Every dish had such complex flavor even the simply side dish of rice that came with the Shrimp dish. I felt obligated to eat all of the rice that came with my girlfriends dinner after I was done with my meal because it was so good. The service was fantastic also very warm and kind all of the staff was amazing! What a great meal highly recommend! This place also has lots of phenomenal vegetarian options available. While I am not a vegetarian, my sister is and she can find lots of options here. Go eat here I cannot recommend enough but I would consider reservations as it was slammed busy when we got there!
