Yummy dinner here last night before a show. We made a 5:00 reservation, showed up a few minutes before, and may have been the first restaurant patrons of the night. Many more had shown up here before we left, however. As it was happy hour, we tried three different appetizers: falafel with hummus, dolmas, and harissa carrots. All were delicious and ended up being rather filling. My wife and I both had the lamb gyros, while my daughter had the chicken shawarma. While the dishes didn't appear to be a huge amount of food, they ended up being plenty. Everything had really nice flavor. As it was my wife's birthday, she got the free baklava for dessert. My daughter and I both thought it was fantastic...maybe one of the better baklavas we've had in a long time. My wife thought it was fine but has had other versions she'd liked better. Service was quick and strong from the start. All food came out surprisingly fast. We'd come here again if on/near Tennyson Street and in the mood for a good Mediterranean experience. read more

This place is DELICIOUS and BEAUTIFUL. I got the gyro plate and my friend got a falafel sandwich, and together we paid about $38 + tip for our meals. The only reason this isn't 5 stars is because the price differential between these two items is about $5 and instead of itemizing our receipts, our waiter just split it in two, overcharging my friend and undercharging me. It seemed very incongruent to the rest of our otherwise excellent experience here. read more

We had a wonderful lamb tagine that was flavorful and delicious along with the baba ghanoush and pita for an appetizer. it was plenty to share along with a salad. The baba ghanoush was wonderful creamy and perfectly seasoned. Great waitstaff and we were seated and served quickly. She checked on us an appropriate number of times. She did interrupt our conversation once, which could be better as it is a bit impolite to not come back when there is a break in the convo. Otherwise, nice experience. read more

Mazevo Mediterranean Eatery - Was supposed to open at 11, and nobody is answering the phone - Mediterranean Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I had been passing by Mazevo, craving to try it, for quite some time. Especially given the pretty decorations that you can see from outside. After visiting for the first time, I don't think we will be returning, but it's worth a try to see if you feel differently. Our food a bit mixed. While the chicken shawarma was good, we found the hummus tasted a bit off. We aren't hummus experts, but we do buy a lot of restaurant hummus, and this one was very different a bit of a weird flavor. The carrot plate was good, but unfortunately both me and my partner found ourselves craving a similar carrot dish from another Mediterranean place nearby. The service was a bit weird as well. Our waitress wouldn't make eye contact and was seldomly responding as we spoke to her and ordered. read more

I love coming back to Mazevo when I'm craving Mediterranean food! I love their vibe , always good service! And their happy hour is great! read more

Second visit and for an early dinner. Walked in while doing some shopping in the area. Last time was during lunch and the shakshuka is phenomenal!! Ordered fried pickles, fries, and the lamb kebab entree. Pickles were great and had a nice tzatziki style sauce. Fries were seasoned, tasty, but not crunchy enough for me. Kebobs were solid, perfectly cooked, tender, but lacked a bit on seasoning. Overall solid experience, attentive staff, and clean Located in highlands, so parking can be a bit tough, great if you are visiting other shops before dining. read more

Mazevo is located along Tennyson St among many other fantastic shops and eateries to stop in. My girlfriend and I were hungry but also wanted to have a healthier lunch while walking around. We were in luck when we happened to walk by Mazevo! First impressions were that the interior was very nice with a lot of seating and a large bar as well. The shakshuka was very good with PLENTY of flavor. It was honestly a bit more flavor than I prefer but I like my food on the blander side so can't complain there. Eggs were cooked very well sunny side up. The combination of the spices, runny yolk, cheese, and the French baguette were awesome. My girlfriend ordered the chicken shawarma plate and it was slightly salty but again we prefer our food on the blander side. Service was awesome. We were checked in on frequently with waters cups always full. The server wiped down our table because some water spilled and then swapped out my baguettes with new ones because he was concerned that some dust may have gotten on them. I said it was ok but it was a nice gesture. Last thing I'll touch on is the pricing. The pricing is honestly not bad at all considering the generous portions and especially the location. Most places on Tennyson tend to be on the pricier side but Mazevo seems very reasonably priced. I look forward to going back to Mazevo for a healthy, reasonably-priced meal again in the near future and recommend others to do the same! read more

Everything was flavorful - Excellent chicken shawarma, creamy baba ghanoush and lamb tagine brimming with flavors. Service was top notch and quick. I might be back for their shawarma! Recommend this place if you're in the mood for some authentic Mediterranean food on Tennyson. read more

The staff were very friendly. They came by often (maybe too often) to see if we needed anything else. The food was terrific. Also, it was my wife's birthday, so she got a free dessert through the online website. I very nice local restaurant to try for date night. read more

Didn't like it as much as we did previously. Service was fine and the food was certainly OK. Again we tried the labneh in the red lentil soup. Nothing wrong with either one, but they just didn't ring the bell for us this time. read more

My favorite Mediterranean place in Denver. I really like how I can get a reservation at any time and don't have to deal with booking months or weeks in advance. They have a nice bar too that I've sat in for a solo dinner. For food, my favorite is probably the gyro plate. The sample platter is nice to get to try multiple things but the best appetizer is the lamb ragu. The only disappointing thing I've had from here is the pickled veggies - the pickles were just from a jar so I wouldn't recommend that dish. Otherwise the pita, spreads and mains are great. Service is also always really attentive. Definitely must try. read more

Mazevo Mediterranean Eatery - Labneh Baba Ghanoush - Mediterranean Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I was very excited to try this restaurant with my partner to celebrate a special occasion. We showed up and were seated right away, which was great. We were seated in the front area (pictured) which I think is the cutest part of the restaurant, it has a quaint garden-like feel. Until looking it up, we were under the impression that the place had just recently opened due to the service. We could from our table hear servers questioning who had what table at the host stand, often saw food come out to the wrong table, and we were unsure of if there were individual servers or a shared model because 5 different people came up to us asking for orders. There is definitely room to grow on the service side -- namely prebussing. Tables are small and nobody likes sitting with dirty dishes in front of them especially when staff continues to come by, and particularly when you are seated near the entrance. At one point nearly every table in the front area needed to be bussed while people were sitting, and staff would walk by to fill water or take an order but leave with empty hands (one out, one in service technique) . Another thing to grow upon is drink service/speed. The cocktail menu is lovely, however drinks came out very slow. We had to send a drink back 2 times due to an issue with some "debris" in the cup, and on the 3rd time the issue was resolved. I was surprised, though, at the way it was handled by service (quickly rushed away, not asked if a different drink was preferred) and then still, that drink was on our check. As a guest, it felt like no efforts were made to right the issue (other than remaking it (slowly, and still with "debris" the first time) -- house shot, house dessert, or something to improve customer experience after a situation like that goes a long way :) even an explanation of why it was happening because frankly, it was gross. Clearly the food is made with love and it it was the STAR of the show. It was the best part of the experience -- as it should be! Every bite tasted flavorful, fresh, and just downright delicious. Wish we tried even more, but highly recommend the Harissa Carrots. I also would have liked if our service allowed some time to explain the story of the restaurant and the menu, but instead, things felt rushed and disjointed. Service should be trained on the 2 bite rule as well, as I saw other tables standing up and trying to flag down any server just to get an extra sauce. Just small service improvements will level up the entire guest experience. I look forward to returning and seeing the growth and cohesion of the FOH team, and BOH is already killing it! Great location and ambiance read more

After finishing a job assignment just down the street from this restaurant, I was hungry for some quality food. Lately, my tendency is to go to a Mediterranean/Middle Eastern restaurant to get me something healthy. And upon doing a search what was nearby, I found this place (Moroccan/Greek influenced restaurant.) I didn't need to waste anymore time to ponder over; I rushed to it after work. For some reason, I thought this was a place more towards a casual dining restaurant (like Cava or Modern Market.) I was wrong. This is more like a high-end restaurant that offers quality and yet fairly affordable foods. The restaurant inside is quite fancy. The first section (right after you've entered it and to your left) is the prettiest section of it. Then the second portion is the main dining with 6-8 tables nicely spaced between. The bar extends quite extensively; it's a great place if you are to dine in single. There are more tables all the way to the back (west side of the building.) I was greeted by a young lady immediately upon arrival. I told her it was for a to-go order. She took me to the bar and instructed me to place my order there. One of the guys at the bar kindly enough to offer me a glass of water while perusing the menu. Service was attentive (until this point.) The menu booklets are fancy and beautiful. There are four pages. It's sectioned out from the starters to the soups and salads to the main plates. Not sure if they have a separate menu when it comes to the drinks. Like I said, I was there for a takeout, so I didn't look f or it. Once I knew what I wanted for the night, I placed it with the guy who gave me the water (earlier) Oh boy, had I known the fact that this place takes a long time to prepare foods, I would have called in. For the time I placed my order and finally got it, there was good 40 minutes. It was the peak dinner time on Sunday (it appeared that the restaurant was at its 85 - 90% capacity. They were also other pickup orders by DoorDash/Uber Eats as I saw more than a handful of guys came and went to pick up their customers' orders.) For this reason, I strongly recommend that you place your order ahead if it's a takeout. Or if you want to dine in, avoid the peak time as those who were dining last night might have waited long to get their foods; this is just an assumption, however. What I got me last night were two items from the starter section: Lamb Ragu ($14) and Beetroot With Labneh ($12). Both are gluten free. As of mid-August of 2024, the overall rating of this restaurant is solid 4 stars. I did read some honest/frank opinions of others who have utilized this business where their reviews might have been solely based on their likes and dislikes but to me, both dishes were quite impressive. Lamb Ragu: consists of ground lamb placed over hummus with pine nuts and pomegranate seeds. All the ingredients truly compliment each other perfectly. This dish is served warm but when I had the leftover the very next morning (which was out of my fridge), I didn't bother to warm it up. It still tasted good. It comes with pita bread which is seasoned with curry powder was my impression (apparently this is gluten free as well???) Beetroot With Labneh: I had no clue what Labneh was until this point but now I know. It's a combination of cheese and (traditionally goat) yogurt. And the drizzle of citrus orange dressing over the labneh tasted more like a jam, but this was the magic that did to the whole dish might be an understatement. The perfectly cooked gold and red beet cubes were superbly the main ingredient in this dish where it makes the whole dish so beautifully colorful. Wow, I'm amazed. I'm giving this place a perfect 4-star review (the reason why I'm not giving it a 5-star rating is because the wait time for a takeout was simply too long (like I said 40 minutes.) Not sure if they can do something about it to make it a bit more efficient in the future. Anyway, I will utilize this business in the future for sure if I see fit (if I would be in the neighborhood again.) read more

After our plane ride to Denver we were looking for a nice spot for lunch. Mazevo has great quality food with tons of flavor. The falafels were top notch and so was their fresh Greek salad. The chicken was shawarma style and delicious. Definitely worth a visit. Enjoy! read more

The food here is absolutely delicious. Service was not as consistent as I like but it was pretty busy so there was a good reason.

Best falafel platter I've ever had! Served with a bold and refreshing green tahini sauce. Out of this world. All of our food, shawarma and lentil soup - was superb (lunch.) Service was great however the server wore sweat pants which didn't quite match the excellence of the food or the lively interior. read more

I ordered out, got a variety of dishes--- all were delicious!!! Lamb, chicken, falafels, tabbouleh, hummus, baba ghanoush, pita. Food arrived warm and on time. read more

I paid $36.00 (tip) included for a "lunch" menu item that truly should have been an appetizer. It's telling when you walk into an empty restaurant, expensive lesson for me. read more

Best Mediterranean food I've had in a long time. Great service, great drinks, and highly recommend the platters so you can try everything!

My wife and friends had lunch at this gem this past Saturday. Mediterranean food is my favorite and Mazevo's was amazing! Started with the Meze platter which could be eaten as a meal. The hummus, and yogurt sauce were delicious! I ordered the chicken kebab and my wife had the lamb kebab. Both were superb! The service was great, even if the restaurant seemed understaffed. The ambiance is nice and comforting. I can't wait to go back there and try different items! read more

Really enjoyed a dinner at Mazevo! Service was really nice - reservations are generally readily available so we got one a day in advance with no issues. Definitely recommend getting the appetizer platter as i think their spreads are the BEST! We also enjoyed the gyro plate. We also got the baklava for dessert which i highly recommend. Overall i can't wait to go back. read more

Lots of Moroccan influences, but I wish they served my Lamb Tagine in a Tagine. We also got their Mezi Platter with Lentil soup, but past on the Lentil soup. It's not as creamy as I would have preferred. This place has a large bar area to sit and great for large parties. However - it took 70 minutes for our entrees to come out. So, make sure you have extra time in-between whatever you need to get to while coming here. read more

Pros: Ability and ease to make a reservation. Food taste was amazing! Beautifully decorated Cons: Service was very slow and hard to get their attention. Portion size for cost - food and drink. The NA drink I got was 80% ice. Appetizer platter only had 2 falafel and 2 dolmas. I love Mediterranean food so I was so excited to try this place! And I picked it as my birthday restaurant. I even included that I was my birthday on the reservation but got no acknowledgment. Overall, I'd give it a 3.5/5 read more

SAVE YOUR MONEY AND GET CAVA! What in the Saint Patrick's day is this excuse for a Greek dessert...? ALL of the food was terrible. Spent $100 on dinner for two. Make that $140 after we gave up and ordered pizza. This place is a sad excuse for any edible cuisine - horrifying. Ordered a salad, schwarma plate, and...not sure what you'd call the other three piles of hot (cold) trash that showed up 90 minutes later (uber waited 45 at the restaurant - bless this driver). read more

The. Chicken. Shawarma. Absolutely amazing. The chicken was not dry, as I've had at other places before, and it was served on the BEST hummus I ever had in my life. I am coming back for that dish again. My partner and I shared the plate and ordered a cocktail for each of us. I don't remember the names of them now, but we thoroughly enjoyed both of them. Service was very quick, the food came out a lot faster than I anticipated. Again, highly recommend coming here for the chicken shawarma. read more

Charming Mediterranean restaurant in a cute walkable neighborhood. The veggie tagine was delicious with a warm hearty cozy spice.

That lamb tagine was absolutely delicious! I got the lamb tagine with white rice to go. I also ordered a cocktail while I was waiting for my food. The cocktail was made very well, and service was super friendly and on top of it. The restaurant has a super chill ambiance. Lush greenery on the walls, interesting paintings and really cool bar vibe and high scale restaurant vibe at the same time. The lamb tagine. Oof, delicious. Perfectly seasoned. Good portion, not too much or too little. Fall apart lamb. Really generous portion of meat too. And I really appreciated how the meat wasn't too fatty as it can be sometimes. I 100% recommend coming here. Great prices. Great drinks. Chill vibes. Amazing food. Compliments to the chef! read more

Generous portion with plenty of food for leftovers - chicken shawarma: very flavorful too. A little bit spicy read more
