Food is very good here and not overpriced. I had Eggplant Moussaka which generally known to be a very rich dish and if it's not cooked probably often feels heavy but this one felt so light, airy and delicious. It was one of the best moussaka I ever had. Also ordered grilled Greek cheese Saganaki for a starter and it was just as delicious. Have to mention that everyone in Meze Restaurant was so friendly, nice and kind. They set an outdoors table for me with heaters to make sure I wasn't cold. Definitely will be back to Meze Restaurant. Already added a reminder to my calendar to attend their Easter feast. after I saw the pictures of their lamb special. Meanwhile, during these socially distanced times, I'm planning to get some good Greek food delivered to me from this place quite often. read more

As someone who loves great Greek food, the easy choice is always to go to Astoria. However I was lucky enough to come across this wonderful establishment in Brooklyn, and it did not disappoint! Our meal consisted of a fresh and vibrant Greek salad, pan fried soft shell crabs that were really tasty, a wonderfully flaky spinach pie, and various other seafoods. For my main dish, I enjoyed the baby lamb chops while some others opted for the equally delicious tender veal that came in a tomatoes sauce over orzo. The desserts were fantastic as well. I highly recommend for anyone to visit this place, which is a little bit off the beaten path, but definitely worth it! read more

I fall in love with this place more and more with every time I come here. Love everything about it. Food service and real Greek homey vibe. May be one of the best Greek restaurants in Brooklyn by far. read more

Neighborhood gem, great food, everything is delicious, awesome service, a lot of variety on the menu

This place was amazing! Went here with my boyfriend for dinner and when we first entered it was a "homey" feel. Very cutely decorated. We ordered chicken and pork souvlaki platters and mussles, everything was amazing. I thought the pork was better. Portions are very big so be hungry when you order. Fries were a little soggy for me. Mussels were to die for though! The sauce was incredibly tasty, definitely try it with the bread. Service was also good :) One of the waitresses is actually from Athens! I was happy that I got to satisfy my Greek food craving :) read more

I had the blue claw crab cakes and Norwegian wild salmon with Greek fries. The crab cakes were good, not bad at all but I will try other appetizers in the future since it didn't wow. The Norwegian wild salmon oh the other hand very much wowed. Nicely cooked fish and the sauce it is cooked in is simply amazing. Memorable, worth going back for and of course you get the health benefits of the fish. Great seafood is what I hoped for in a Mediterranean restaurant and Meze made me very happy. read more

Amazing local place with awesome food. Staff was awesome and energetic! Special shoutout to Panos. Must try the tzatziki, sea bass, lamb gyro plate, AND grilled octopus. The octopus is warm, buttery, and simply melts in your mouth. read more

There was a fire in my building and due to an electrical outage we were forced to eat out. My wife and I decided to eat at Meze after all of the great yelp reviews. We had everything that was recommended by our waiter. Started out with the lemon soup and Meze dip. Followed by the grilled Octopus appetizer. The waiter seriously recommended the grilled Octopus. He said it was the best thing in NYC. Our main entrees were the lamb platter for my wife and lemon sole stuffed with crab meat for myself. The octopus was mediocre and so was my entree. The food was good enough. Not enough to go back. The reason that I actually decided to write this review at 11pm on Sunday night is because tonight is the THIRD night that my wife and I have suffered since eating at Meze. We came down with severe food poisoning and we have. It been able to eat anything else. The service at the restaurant was great. The food wasn't bad. However, there is something seriously wrong with the food handling and in the kitchen. My wife and I think it was the Octopus. We only took small bites of the entrees after eating the entire appetizer. Please be careful eating here if you're pregnant or if you have young children. read more

We decided to have Greek on a Sat night nearby; the place was packed (always a good sign). They seated us without waiting for too long and soon after took our order. Everything we ordered was absolutely DELICIOUS. The charred octopus was really cooked to perfection (they say so on the menu but being the tough food critic that I am, I take such statements with a pinch of salt). The egg plant dip was mild yet very flavorful. The pork skewer was one of the best I had in quite some time - pork tender, marinated mildly yet scrumptious, lightly charred. The flatbrad / pita deserves a line of its own: I was sure I'll get up at night and stuff my face with it!!! It was JUST made, deliciously fluffy and light and just yummy. Good god. We ordered the Gionelli red wine to go with our food and it was a very decent quality wine for its price (priced right); soft, full bodied, dark berries and plum. While waiting on our food I looked over my shoulder to my neighbor's table and see the perfectly cooked giant shrimp - guess I know what I'm ordering next time! The waiter came to check on us a few times during dinner which was highly appreciated. They are not in your face, but you're looked after. We didn't finish our food and got a package home. As we were paying, staff (Paul) came to ask about our experience (nice touch!). A few min chat and off he goes to look after the next customer. They really care about their customers. The icing on the cake: I forgot my phone in the bathroom. I realized the next morning it could have been at Meze but they beat me to it. They called the number on the screen (missed call from my man trying to find my phone), and we picked the phone up. THEY CHARGED MY PHONE. Aren't these people just AWESOME?! In short, Meze's food is high quality, fresh, extremely well prepared and their customer service is as great. It's really hard to wish anything more than that from a consumer standpoint. One very gratifying visit and most certainly returning customers. read more

First of all the employees make you feel at home. So pleasant and so available to serve you. Their food is so delicious. I could go on and on and tell you about each single one item but yet it's faster to tell you what is not good other than and that is nothing because everything is absolutely delicious! The restaurant may be slightly small, but it is so comfortable and so quaint that you really don't mind it. Each table has enough space between each other and you really are able to speak to your partner and understand each other without having the table next to you being overly loud. We tried it once as a fluke, because it was close to home, and the weather was a bit rugged and needless to say that was 11 years ago and for the past 11 years, we go to this restaurant to eat at least 2 to 3 times a month. enclosing, let me tell you which two items I simply love to order that is this spinach pie and the Saganaki. read more

4.5 stars really... But I guess I can round up. So we were in the neighborhood to check out the Xmas lights in dyker Heights. My wife actually brought me to see them because I'd never actually gone before. While we were there walking around, she mentioned that when she first came to the USA some years ago, and she checked out the lights then, her and her friend went to this really good Greek restaurant to eat afterwards. I figured, well why not? I like eating! So we headed over here. Little did we know that the place isn't very close to the Xmas lights! It's probably more than a mile walking, but it wasn't freezing cold so it's not a big deal. When we got there however, the place was packed and there was even a few people already waiting in the doorway to get the next available seats. I spoke to the host and he said that the wait for two people would be 30 minutes probably. Unfortunate. The place isn't very big so it was to be expected... So I didn't want to wait. He left And walked around to talk to a few people, and told me to hang on. When he came back he said that maybe something will open up in 10 min instead. Ok. Now that's more doable. About 10 minutes later he sat us. There were a lot of Italians at the restaurant that night, and it's probably because Greek food and Italian food have similar traits. One of which is the AMOUNT of food you get. I was expecting whatever I ordered to be a good size, and I was not disappointed. I also wasn't disappointed by the tastes. We started with the grilled octopus, which comes out grilled to perfection and your server actually slices it up for you at the table. Fine by me. The place was so packed that our Greek white wine that we ordered had to be sat at the bar since there wasn't much room on our table for everything! My main course was the lamb gyro platter, and my wife got the eggplant Moussaka. It was very VERY good. I'd never had anything like it before, mostly because I don't eat a bunch of eggplant. If I could describe it, I would say it's like a Greek eggplant Sheppard's pie. It was really yummy. My gyro platter was great too... And a lot of food. I was full and probably ate half of it. Probably. One other great thing about this place is the fact that when you sit down, they give you bread and olive oil to munch on while you decide what to order. Our pita bread was warm and fresh... And my wife couldn't stop raving about how good it was. Another standout for me was the service: the servers were all really nice and really friendly despite how busy it was. They really made you feel at home. The place has a very home cooking feel to it anyway, just from the layout. I really enjoy this place and can't wait to go back... Whenever I'm in that neck of the woods again of course! read more

Love the octopus! A must get! I get food from here every other month or so. Excited that theres a good Greek place in Brooklyn. One not so great thing is their lemon potatoes. It's not horrible but it's mehhhh. The side of lemon potatoes is only like 3-4 slices and not really worth the price but all their other dishes are generous servings so I was surprised about the potatoes read more

4.8/5 It was a bit pricey. Food was delicious. The portion was huge ( had leftovers). The gyro meat was SO good! The pita bread that came with it was also very good. Mutual on the fries and salad; although the fries were a bit soggy... maybe they could've packaged the fries separately. Although they gave me the chicken souvlaki platter instead of the pork, it was still good. They called and said they didn't have the bougatsa dessert and the lady recommended the baklava. The baklava was sweet but not TOO sweet; just right amount of sweetness. I would probably order from here again for their gyro meat. read more

Atmosphere is beautiful very nice touches. Service was ok. Prices a little high. Food was hit or miss, the garlic dip had no flavor it was almost like just some mashed potato with no salt, the combination salad was very bland a lot of cucumber and 4 olives ( asked for more olives and got three more in a bowl they looked lost) The lentil soup I have to say it was very delicious. read more

great food good service and delivery service as well! convenient to in the neighborhood and thats very hard to find these days.

Excellent restaurant with Greek cuisine. All the food was amazing! Very well presented food dishes and all homemade. Very kind, virtuous and professional staff and very good at the job. The environment is beautiful as well!!! read more

Definitely there is way better places than this one. We've got chicken and lamb(gyro) platter and Thanks God we didn't order anything else, cuz the portions were big enough and the food was just ok. The chicken was not that bad but lamb definitely not something what I expected, it tasted weird. You don't feel the taste of meat, its like chewing a paper. I didn't even touch it! Another thing is their service. We saw the waitress only two times: first, when she met and gave us a menu and second, she brought the bill. She never came to ask how we like food or if we need anything else. And when she finally realized that I didn't like lamb she offered me a chicken or pork instead at the end when we were about to leave. But at least she didn't charge us for lamb platter which was nice of her. A big potential but poor service and food! read more

Quality greek food that hit the spot. Ordered lunch here the other day and they were very accomodating. Their dolmades were very good and I normally do not like dolmades. The souvlaki was on point as well, tender and moist. Will definitely return. read more

Went for Valentine's Day Dinner. Although it was very busy, you'd never know by the actions of the staff. Great staff, very cordial. Food was amazing, very well present and delicious, to a point that we wanted to eat EVERYTHING! read more

Nice food! Fantastic service ... Everyone was so nice and food was good! No complaints read more

Food was amazing staff was phenomenal! Only thing I wish the portions would be a little bigger.

I recently had the opportunity to celebrate a couple of birthdays with friends and family, and we're all very pleased that we did so at Meze! Although I'm not Greek, I've spent quite a bit of time there, and Meze is true to its tradition! The food is deliciously authentic, as was the cozy atmosphere. The waitstaff/service was attentive and kind. I'm looking forward to my next visit! read more

Now that I've tried Meze, this is possibly the best greek restaurant in Brooklyn. Great staff and awesome food. Meze offers a great selection of traditional greek eats that are packed with flavor. We ordered the trio dip platter and chose: hummus, eggplant, and feta dip. Each dip was unique and delicious served with warm pita. For appetizers we ordered the Lakanika (greek sausage) and the Saganaki (salty Flaming cheese topped with fresh lemon juice) Both were great. The sausage had great seasoning and wasn't too salty. These Cheese dish was a perfect foil for the warm pizza and the lemon juice some how works. For our entrees we ordered the Pork Souvlaki platter and the Mediterranean shrimp. The portions here are huge. The platter comes with pita, tzaziki, feta fries, and a small salad with two large skewers of pork. The pork is tender and packed full of flavor. The Shrimp was tender and seasoned very well served along with a choice of vegetables, rice, or potatoes. Definitely recommend coming here. read more

Love! Can never go wrong ordering from this place. Food is always, ALWAYS, fresh and the portions are very generous.

I would rate this restaurant a 4.8. The homemade Greek sausage was awesome. The octopus was excellent. The lamb gyro meat succulent. The fish fresh and perfectly prepared. The service friendly and attentive. I will definitely come back. read more

Meze is a great Greek restaurant! The grilled squid and mussels were fantastic. The dips and sauces were incredible especially the tzaziki. Definitely will be coming back. read more

Meze - Mussels - Greek Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Looking for an alternative to the ordinary? Try Meze on 13th ave in Bklyn. Located on the corner of 66th St, Greek food is celebrated beautifully. Started feta appetizer with warm pita. Delicious. Lamb gyro plate was next and it was full of flavor. The "American" fries left something to be desired but the chicken kebabs with rice on the side was spiced well. All in all a good representation of Greek cuisine. Will try the grilled octopus next time around. And there will be a next time! read more

My boyfriend and I came for dinner Thursday night around 630pm. There were people eating but we did not have to wait. Our waiter was a younger Greek guy. He was very pleasant and attentive. I am Greek so therefore very skeptical when dinning at "Greek Restaurants." We ordered the saganki and trio of dips as appetizers. Saganki was legit. Large portion. Delicious. For the trio, we ordered the hummus, spicy feta, and garlic dip. Hummus was very good. Unlike you're traditional hummus. Didn't have that tahini/sesame flavor but we loved it. Spicy feta was OUTSTANDING. I've also had this before at other restaurants, each different, but always good. The garlic dip I was expecting almost like a garlic paste. What it really is cold garlic mashed potatoes. Oddly enough, it was not bad. Just different. As an entree, my boyfriend and I shared the Pastichio. I should mention, this is my absolute favorite Greek dish. It completely lacked any nutmeg flavor that I'm accustomed to. Large portion again but unimpressed. The lemon potatoes, which I normally love, were lacking flavor as well. Just regular roasted potatoes. Overall, appetizers were amazing. Pastichio was a let down. Would return but definitely order another entree. read more

I was always aware of this restaurant in the neighborhood, decided to hop in with my husband on a Sunday night because there's really very limited choices around, took about 10 mins to find parking which was alright, this neighborhood could be very difficult to find a spot in the evening. The restaurant is in the smaller side, tables were very close to each other and the place was filled with a variety of patrons, couples, families, etc. We just wanted a quick and easy dinner because we were not hungry. Ordered the grilled calamari, it came out as an over-cooked octopus, the server cut the dish in front of us which was kinda awkward, it's chewey and didn't taste all that good with a charcoal kind of burnt after taste. For entrees we ordered the whole fish (stripped bass) and a chicken platter. That fish had no taste either, the lemon-butter sauce was somewhat bland, my husband said for $26 we could grill 4 nice bass at home that taste much better. The meat was tender, that was it. When I asked for recommendation the server seemed very confused. The chicken soulvaki was not bad, but no hummus for the pita, the fries were ok. It's a huge portion for that price, honestly there's just nothing special. read more

Been wanting to come here for the longest The appetizer cheese dish that comes out in a plate of fire is a crowd pleaser but the thick rich oily cheese will fill you up not leaving room for real food so go easy on that. I've also been told dishes portions were not consistent. Some days you get a lot some days you don't get as much read more

Meze is wonderful taste of Greece and the Mediterranean. The intimate setting is tended by a superlative staff. The cuisine is both subtle and sublimely sumptuous. A set of appetizers including Grape leaves, Lentil soup, spinach pie (yummy) and a special of Chickpea fritters (Falafel, double yummy) and a Tarama (Caviar) spread were works of magic. Excellent entrees of Bronzino, (apparently this years fish) and Lamb stew only added to the experience. A very unique take on Baklava for dessert topped it all off. Go out of your way, as I did on the way home from Dyker, and visit this jem. read more

I loved Meze when they first opened. The food was out of this world, fresh, tasty and great portions. Add to that the prices were great and reasonable. We ordered from there at least once a week. As time pasted, unfortunately the food quality decreased while the prices increased. read more

So let me put it to you this way ! if you are choosing this restaurant to bring your fiancé to propose marriage to , you may be making the mistake of your life!... Oh not the proposal, but the atmosphere.. This restaurant is the loudest in the entire State of New York, not just the City !.In fact the volume here would hold court with an NFL playoff game at Met Life Stadium! .I have not brought my wife to this place in over a year for this reason, on top of which the group then of middle age "couples" ( yes, men and women) were throwing around the "F" Bomb like Samuel Jackson in Pulp Fiction.. Well this past Saturday I gave it another shot; ( heck its almost 9pm it should have died down a bit by now ) Ooops! there were still a number of groups in there but one particular groups volume made the others sound like a Church mouse...This group didn't need to throw one dish on the floor ,I'm sure they were cracking right on the dinner table...as for the food: slightly hit or miss, Some of their dishes are flawless and some Eh! but in general "overall good"...The service: I actually put back a star for this crew. Once you are seated, you are not forgotten, they move around at least on par with the crowd and keep their wit and sense of humor seasoned with their environment... So if you are looking for a Hip , loud good place to eat ,so you can tell your friends about the lively spot you ate at Or you and your friends are one of these groups I profiled earlier ,then this is your place! However if you are taking an elderly relative out for their 95th birthday celebration or you in fact are planning a marriage proposal and all of your guest don't read lips, Then maybe not!... read more

Little hidden gem!!! Came across this place thanks to Yelp as a last minute Birthday dinner. Lovely and cute environment, awesome service and great food. One star taken off because all the dishes I ordered was really good but the fries that came with the lamb platter was a disappointment. If it came with fresh or better fries it would of been perfection. Also the grilled octopus was a bit pricey $21.95 for 2 pieces. I hope to taste better fries the next time I visit because I see myself coming back soon again. Highly recommend! read more

Meze - Delicious! - Greek Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I lost count of the number of times we either mentioned, quoted or referenced MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING during dinner. "You dont eat no meat?!!?... its ok I make lamb" The second we walked into Meze we saw dozens of people eating, partying and just plain making noise. Imagine a train passing by but you really can't wait and need to tell your friend something...that is how loud we had to speak for the people sitting across from us to hear. Can't complain, I love to see a place where the patrons are from the same origin as the cuisine that they offer. Always a good sign. Soon we just became part of the excitement. Few glasses of wine and we couldn't even tell that we were all yelling at each other. I feel like Meze would have it no other way. I had mixed feelings regarding the food. The highlights for me were the shrimp stuffed with crab, the grilled octopus and the yogurt with honey. The veal ossobuco could have been more tender but the orzo below it was great. Fun time but my wallet took a hit. read more

Listen, I've been to plenty of Greek restaurants, and this is one that I would have to say nails "home cooking" squarely on the head. Obviously no one is going to make Pastichio quite like my Yiayia but this was daaaamn close. The menu is stocked full of the traditional dishes, and it cost $60 for two with appetizer & drinks. If you are looking to eat authentic Greek cuisine without frills or edgy new dishes... this is the right place for you! read more

I've eaten here quite a few times already and have even brought family here because it's just so good! It's a great place to come for a celebration and have a hearty meal with plenty of options. I live in Ditmas Park, so I'm glad that this place isn't too far away! I LOVE getting the grilled octopus and squid. The grilled octopus even comes with spicy feta cheese inside of it, so good! I've had the gyro and lamb chops before and both meals have been pretty tasty. There's so many appetizers to choose from... hummus, crab cakes, baked clams, grape leaves... just delicious. I usually order Greek wine or beer, which is refreshing and light. And the waiters are always friendly and accommodating. They are willing to help you out even if they're not officially your waiter. I really enjoy eating here and it always reassures me that I MUST visit Greece. read more

This is hands down my favorite Greek restaurant. My go to dish here is their gyro platter - the lamb is out of this world. And the Tzatziki sauce is amazing! Their chilean sea bass is also very very good, highly recommended. They give you A LOT of food. The service is great-so friendly. Mmm, I must go again soon! read more

Amazing Greek food !!!! If you're in a hurry this place isn't for you.... everything is cooked fresh and well worth the wait! Generous portions that will satisfy anyone's big appetite! Gyro meat was moist and flavorful .... skordalia was the best I've ever had! I highly recommend this place! read more

I came here with a group of friends for dinner. Since I had a large party, I had made a reservation days in advance. However, when we got there, it seemed it was the first time they heard of the reservation. No problem though, they set up the tables quickly and we were seated. Service was great the entire time we were here. I ordered the moussaka and it was actually a lot better than some other places I've tried. It came with a salad, but in my opinion, there was too much vinegar added to it. My friends also enjoyed their gyro platters and pasticchio. For dessert, my friend and I shared the baklava. It was good, not as sweet as other places, which meant that I was able to have more than one piece, yum! Some of my friends shared another dessert that wasn't bad either, but I don't remember what it's called; it had some cinnamon flavor and it had a soft cake like texture. Overall I had a pleasant dinner and wouldn't mind coming back here to try other entrees and desserts. read more
