Meze - Greek Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I came here with a large party, we made reservations in advance because we knew it was a small place. They were able to accommodate us, we had to wait a little bit though. After being seated, we sat for a while before they decided to take our food order. The appetizers came out pretty quickly but it took a while for our entrees to come out, which I guess is understandable because we were such a large party. Although I got my food about 10 minutes after everyone else because they made one less order. I did appreciate the honesty though. I tried the baked clams, crab cakes, lamb gyro platter, and the chicken souvlaki platter. I enjoyed the baked clams, the texture was a little mushy for a few clams. They were $15 for 8 of them, I guess that's pretty reasonable. The crab cakes weren't bad either for $15 as well. The lamb was pretty flavorful, not too salty like some places I tried. The chicken souvlaki wasn't bad, but one skewer was more dry than the other. I really enjoyed their tzaziki sauce, the flavor is pretty close to ones I've had in Greece. We had a large cake and they charged $1 per person to have it in the restaurant, I guess it's understandable since no one would want to order dessert after that. I did enjoy this place. Will I come back? Probably if someone suggests it. read more

Meze - Lamb gyro platter, comes with salad, fries with feta, pita, and tzaziki - Greek Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Let me start off with the good. Place is clean Location is nice Staff is great price is reasonable Easy parking Bad The food is not good, I gave it several tries over the years, everything I had food either taste old not fresh or is bland, honestly the worst greek food in the area. not worth visiting. However the place has huge potential- all they have to do is serve good food. theres not one greek place in the area except Spartan. read more

Maze has quickly become one of our favorite spots to order from. Their meat is top quality and anything you order has endless flavor. I grew up on Greek cooking at home and this place is my mothers favorite and good she recommended it. read more

Had a wonderful meal here the other night. Place is nestled in the middle of a residential block, its well known in the neighborhood as one of the best Greek food in Brooklyn. The Zucchini Fries were crispy and airy; I'd continued popping it into my mouth. I highly recommend the Baby Lamb Chops. Chops was seasoned and grilled perfectly, piled on top of an Arugula salad. The salad with its Fried Chick peas and balsamic Vinaigrette still makes me drool as I'm writing this review. The Spinach Feta Pie was also very flavorful and filling. Price is decent, for Greek food. The waitstaff walked around a couple of times to refill water and gave extra napkins. Its a great establishment and hope it will stick around and become a neighborhood staple. read more

My favorite Greek place in Brooklyn! Huge portions without any compromise in quality. I tried the saganaki and the trio dip platter to start. The saganaki flaming cheese was amazing on some pita or just bread. For the dips, I tried the hummus, cheese, and eggplant, my favorite was the cheese but all of them were delicious and tasted homemade fresh for each plate. For my main course I had to try the lamb gyro platter and my girlfriend had the Chilean sea bass with some lemon potatoes. The sea bass was good no doubt but I enjoyed my gyro platter more then any gyro I had before. The lamb was flavorful and juicy while the tzatziki sauce was creamy and cooling. All together we had so much food I had to bring some home but the next day, the leftovers tasted just as good. Excited to come back for some more! read more

Meze - Lamb Gyro Platter - Greek Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Solid Greek food. Love the gyro platter! Been a customer (dine in and takeout) for many years and this place is more consistent than not. Delivery may take a little long at times but what can you expect in NYC/Bklyn - heavily populated regions with people constantly going out to eat and ordering takeout. But Meze does a great job managing everything and their customer service doesn't disappoint. read more

Cozy, friendly atmosphere and staff, our waitress Pale was awesome. Food on point, large portions, priced well. We'll gladly come back to try more dishes. Good for a family outing, date night or with a small group of friends. read more

The food is really not authentic Greek . Four guests and not one was satisfied. Very bland ! But the prices are insane ! Not worth anything . I had two appetizers and it was $60 . I eat in some very high end places ...this was a total rip off . read more

Went for lunch on Saturday and luckily they were not packed. Cute decor good authentic greek food and beverages. Service was personable and attentive without being over bearing. If you go the white wine the mushrooms and the octopus are amazing the rest of the stuff is fine but not worth writing home about. Looking forward to a return trip. read more

My family and I had a reservation here last Sunday at 2pm for my father's birthday. Upon walking in there seemed to be a big party of about 45 people seated. By 2:30pm all 8 of us were seated together. I was very upset that our reservation was not ready. It was extremely crowded and tight that I wondered why they didn't close the restaurant. Our waiter apologized for the wait and was very friendly. As appetizers, we ordered baked clams and 3 spreads which we devoured. Our meals took about an hour to come out - I assume because the kitchen had the big party of 45. The food was authentic and we all enjoyed it but because of the crowded space and volume we weren't really able to enjoy each other's company and have conversations. My 2 year old niece was getting restless since we didn't have much space and because we were there for such a long time. Our waiter asked me if I wanted them to sing happy birthday to my father so I picked a dessert that they brought out and sang. After that we asked for the check. We were charged for the small plate of French fries for my niece, the appetizers, our meals and the baklava for my father. In my opinion, I think the restaurant should have given us something on the house for the inconvenience. I would've been happy with a free dessert for the birthday boy! To me, that would've been good business. I understand that the waiter might not have had the authority to do so but I think something should've been done. We still tipped the waiter very well because it wasn't his fault that our food took so long; he did provide good service. I left feeling disappointed because of the experience which in this case was more meaningful than the food. read more

MEZE IS UNDEFEATED. THE WORLD IS A BETTER PLACE WITH MEZE IN BUSINESS. - I know. Youre probably looking at the picture and thinking "who the F would eat chicken that burnt" but thats just how i like my chicken. And thats how i order it from anywhere i eat. I specifically say BURN IT and not well done cause theres no such thing as non well done chicken to begin with. But this is how i want it to look. And nobody ever listens to me, and i get white chicken all the time. But not meze. They ALWAYS LISTEN. they ALWAYS GET IT RIGHT. THEY LITERALLY NEVER MISS. its crazy, really. But literally every part of this business is ELITE. the staff. The food. The service. I love it all. I would die for meze. I dont even know why this is the first time I'm writing their review. Ive been eating here for years with my boyfriend and ive literally never once been unhappy with this place. Dont think, dont continue reading, run-dont walk here. read more

I came here on a Friday night and boy was it packed. When I sat down, I noticed that they were very generous w the food portion. Also, they price is fair. You wouldn't be able to find a place that give you such a huge portion for the price. So, the grilled octopus was juicy and tender. It wasn't chewy at all. We also got this cheese dish where the waiter put it on fire. Definitely eat it while it's still hot. It taste a lot better. For entree, I got the lamb. I took the waiter recommendation and got it medium. It was juicy and I was stuffed after my second piece and the dish came with 6 pieces. Overall, this place is worth trying out read more

Highly recommended if you are a foodie. Taste like local Greek food! Small neighborhood gem sort of place. The friendly environment and nice staffs made the evening extra nice.

I have high expectations for Greek restaurants because I am Greek and I frequently eat Greek food in Greece. The moussaka was not cooked the way it should be traditionally, there was not enough egg plant, just a lot of meat and bechamel sauce. The fish that was baked was very tasty, I recommend getting the fish. The saganaki ( fried cheese) was amazing and really great quality cheese. read more

I ordered the stuffed grape leaves and the chicken souvlaki platter for take out. I was really excited to dig in because I was starving from my run and hadn't had grape leaves in so long. I'm not sure what the standard grape leaves are supposed to be like, since I've only had it one other time before, but I feel like it shouldn't be hard...which this one was. Flavorwise, it was just slightly sour but that was it. So disappointed! The chicken souvlaki platter was not much better. The chicken was dry and flavorless. The fries were good, while everything else was okay. I really expected better based on the reviews, but then again, I didn't get the dips that everyone raves about. read more

It is not a question of what can be said its more of what can't be said..... You can't say the food is terrible You can't say the staff is inhospitable You can't say the atmosphere is dismal You can't say you will be unhappy or dissatisfied After eating at Meze numerous times. I'll tell you what you can say..... You can close your eyes and your sense of smell and your taste will be graciously rewarded with the country side of Greece. We decided to invite friends to join us for dinner. Of course our friends Foodies as much as we are. Fortunately and unfortunately my vices in life is FOOD and Meze is where I Can Get My FOOD On!!!!! We started with some Souroti Sparkling Mineral Water...perfectly chilled and then ordered a bottle of Pappas " Cabernet" which is from the base of Mt. Olympus. Of course being Sicilian, I'm biased to Italian wines...but in this case I was pleasantly surprised. A clean, crisp flavor of fruit tones and berries with an tantalizing close that will leave you open for more. We then ordered a dip and spread. This came with Hummus, Tzatziki and Eggplant Spread with pieces of warm pita brushed with Greek Olive Oil. A nice palate opener. Our go to has always been the Octopus, which is grilled and seasoned into melt in your mouth tender morsels of perfection. We then ordered our entres, Grilled Baby Lamb Chops and Swordfish. When it comes to Lamb Chops, Meze delivers. The funny thing is that they serve it with a steak knife....I guess that would work if you have the time to tease your palate. I, on the other hand, know of no other way to eat these than with my hands. After all they do come with riblet handles. Perfect for the task at hand.....Culinary Delight. My wife ordered the Swordfish. It looked and smelled amazing. It was also grilled with some herbs and olive oil. In most cases the simplest ingredients produce the best results. We ended the night with their famous Baklava Cheesecake......the name says it all and Galaktoboureko, a custard filled dessert covered in honey soaked phyllo dough....as Borat would say, " Wow, wow, wee wah....." As for me I couldn't leave with having a double Greek coffee.... just the right ending to a great meal. If you want to eat great Greek food , check out Meze....it's cheaper than getting on a plane and flying to Mikonous. read more

Came here on a Saturday night. Reasonable wait time since it was very busy. Stuffed calamari was excellent. Place was clean with a cozy environment. Had the brozinino with broccoli rabe, yum! He had the mousaka and that was delicious! The only reason why they're getting 4 stars instead of 5 is because when asked if the rice pudding was homemade, the waiter said yes. But, as soon as I look up I see a kozy shack jar on the counter (that's very disappointing). The vibe of the place was very nice. Even though it was crowded, it was relaxing with the music in the background. read more

Nice local place for authentic Greek food. The ambiance and decor makes it very welcoming to have a long, enjoyable dinner. Wait staff was very friendly and informative (about the specials). We started off with the Dip Sampler. The tzatziki was okay but the eggplant dip was excellent. Unfortunately, I didn't care much for the hummus. The dips came with warm pita (endless supply-lol). The Char-Grilled Squid was tender and flavorful. For sharing, we ordered the Classic Greek Salad which was average but quite frankly, we didn't even have to order that. A side salad compliments most of the entrees. The gyro platter was delish especially when sandwiched between hot pita bread and tzatziki sauce. The feta cheese fries (side to the gyro) were pretty yummy. To me, the absolute best dish of the night was the Moussaka. The top layer looks like fluffy mashed potatoes but it's a cheese sauce? OMG--it was absolutely AMAZING! That top layer practically melts in your mouth as you taste the flavors of the eggpland and meat. Not only was it delicious but it was a humungo piece. Needless to say, we ordered too much food. Portions are somewhat generous but the pricing is a bit high. Only giving it 3 stars rather than the 4 because of the pricing. Definitely worth the visit when your mood strikes for authentic Greek food. read more

Meze - Moussaka with side salad - Greek Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Greek and it is locally in South Brooklyn corner. This was my second experience at a Greek restaurant. [My first was at Parea Bistro in Union Sq./Flat Iron area of Manhattan] The experience was comforting and homestyle. I asked the waiter what was recommendedat Meze and he said the octopus. Really liked it ;-D and was amazing char and wine marinated sauce. I would had the octopus as my entree. I entree I had a PASTICCHIO - which was like a Greek mac and cheese. Did not go fancy for seafood or steak dinners (a little pricey for me, but will try some other time). They did not have balklava available that night :-( The price a little higher than expected. read more

The chicken gyro sandwich is pretty good, the meat is tender but you got to eat it right away because of the sauce unless you order sauce on the side to go. The place offers outdoor dinning sometimes depending on the weather. The place gets pretty busy during the evening. The best time to go is in the afternoon. read more

I ordered delivery from Meze on a Saturday night and my rating pretty much describes the order - A OK. It wasn't anything spectacular - certainly not the best Greek I've ever had - but it was solid. I had the Gyro Platter with an extra Tzatziki, total came out to be around $19 including tip. Kind of pricey - but I did end up getting two meals from it so I suppose it wasn't too bad. The gyro meat was a bit dry but the tzatziki made up for it. I wish there were more pita though, cause i definitely had more meat than pita, which is always a bummer for me. I LOVE pita. Would I order from Meze again? Maybe, but my cousin just recently recommended another Greek restaurant in the area so I might give them a try first. Time will tell! read more

Pork and Chicken skewers: - need salt. I can taste the herbs but needs salt. The portion is generous on each stick. Lemon Chicken Orzo Soup: - I could not taste a drop of lemon. Lemon Potatoes: - loved it but it was barely a whole potato for $5.00. Pretty stingy. Grateful for the pita, but why couldn't a small container of greek sauce come with the order? Needless to say, I'm not ordering from this place again. Not worth the $. read more

Meet up with a group of friends for brunch. I was surprised that there was a Greek restaurant at this location because this part of Bensonhurst lacked many dining options when I used to live in this area. The restaurant was very cozy and tables spread out enough to be comfortable. Restaurant was empty when we arrived at noon, but was filled with many patrons after we finished our meal. I ordered a pork and lamb gyro souvlaki platter $13.95. The platter was big. I enjoyed the lamb more than the pork. The lamb was very flavorful. Fyi the pork and chicken were on skewers. The pork was a bit tough and dry. My friend who had the chicken skewer thought that was too dry also. I already expected it since it is chargrilled. I loved the tzatsiki dip; it was very refreshing and complimented the lamb. The three for all dip platter $14.95 was interesting. The Tarama caviar spread was a bit fishy but tasty. The other two spreads were ok. I don't normally eat feta cheese so I don't have a base of reference but I thought the tyrokafteri spread just tasted plain. Overall it was an enjoyable meal. Closer to 3.5 stars in my opinion. I would go back to try other items if I was in the neighborhood. read more

Just came here for dinner for my birthday. AMAZING. It's not often that I get to eat real Greek food, and I'm glad I picked this place. The service was great, our waitress was very attentive. The atmosphere is so nice in there too! My father ordered the Maroulosalata, my mother got hummus (it was ok) and I ordered the Three For All, which consisted of tzatziki, caviar spread (which honestly reminded me of smoked salmon spread) & eggplant dip. Out of the three, the eggplant dip was AMAZING. And LOADS of pita bread. In all honesty, that was sufficient enough! Me and my mother ordered the Mediterranean Shrimp and my dad ordered Filet of Lemon Sole. The shrimp was DELISH!! Wow. Sadly, there was no room for desert lol. I will absolutely come back here! read more

This restaurant has always been one of my favorite Greek spots. The waiters are very kind, professional, and courteous. They always take your order right away and make sure you're always comfortable. The food is always fresh and delicious. I always get the lamb gyro platter and I have never been disappointed. I highly recommend it! I really do appreciate the atmosphere. It's very clean, light, and nice music. The only con is I wish the prices were a little lower but other than that it's great! read more

Saturday, 12/17/16 7:30 pm Meze was such a nice find and I look forward to returning in the future! I was going to see the Dyker Heights Christmas lights for the second year in a row. Last year, I did not research dinner spots before and let me just say, this area of Brooklyn does not have many spots grouped together for the choosing. This year, I was smarter and researched and chose Meze. Very happy I did. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted happily and walked to a table. The waiter recommended some delicious specials and we ended up choosing the special that was calamari stuffed with this amazing creamy spicy cheese for an app along with grape leaves. The calamari was so good, it was only halfway through eating that I realized I should take a pic. The grape leaves were just okay but oh man, that calamari! All of this, along with the free bread was filling so when the entrees came, I actually couldn't finish it. I got the gyro platter and my friend got the branzino. Everything was amazing but I ended up being able to take the majority of mine home for lunch the next day. Everything was great and I'll be back in the future! read more

My koumbara (Maid of Honor), Matron of Honor and mom just threw me the most incredible surprise bridal shower at Meze. I cannot stop raving at how perfect it was. The exposed brick walls, tin ceilings and soft Greek music playing in the background really set the tone for the afternoon. The staff were at our beck and call, making every single person feel taken care of. When the groom walked in to bring me flowers and the greet the guests, they immediately sat him down, served him food and brought on the beers! He said they treated him like royalty. Every single guest raved about how delicious the food was (Greek and non Greek-alike)! I can't stop talking about how beautiful it was and what a nice time we had there. I would highly recommend Meze for a bridal shower (or any other occasion). I want to go back with my fiance to have a nice quiet meal and really enjoy that food again! Meze is really as good as it gets. read more

Meze, s'agapo poli! Why? Here are a few reasons: 1) You're one of the few really good restaurants within a decent radius of my apartment. Like really good. 2) You have some seriously friendly servers who know how to take care of their customers. Shoutout to Paul! 3) Your food is always super fresh and extra tasty. 4) Your ambiance is simple and not unnecessarily lavish. 5) Did I mention your food is delicious? I probably visit Meze at least once a month. I used to think the best Greek food in NYC was in Astoria, but it's actually in an unassuming area of Dyker Heights. I always order saganaki (well done so it has so charred pieces of cheese), horiatiki salad, the dip trio (without tsatsiki and with tyrokafteri instead), the octopus (always tender and always delicious with just the right amount of char), a whole bronzino (filet that beast yourself for a more rewarding experience), the bifteki (hope you like garlic cuz it's chock full of it and it's oh so good), and a few other things that I can't think of at the moment. Listen, let's cut to the chase. Stop going to Astoria. Come to Dyker Heights, walk into Meze, enjoy the olive bread with olive oil, order a glass of Dimitra wine, order the food I mentioned above, and finish off with some galaktoboureko for dessert. You can thank me later in a private message. read more

We picked this place looking for good grilled fish. Meze didn't disappoint. For appetizers, zucchini chips were a favorite, as well as the soft shell crabs. We tried striped sea bass and red snapper and both were delicious and crispy. A nice surprise was a lamb dish - lamb frikase. The waiter recommended it, and it was good. We tried a couple of bottles of red Greek wine, and they went perfectly with the meal. read more

This place has amazing Greek food - something I didn't think I would find in this neighborhood of Brooklyn. Astoria is typically known for having the best traditional Greek food so I was pleasantly surprised to stumble upon this place one Sunday evening. My family and I were having a belated Father's Day dinner. Our party of 4 got here around 7pm on a Sunday and were seated immediately. We ordered the grilled octopus and eggplant dip as our appetizers. For our entrees, we split a lamb gyro platter, chicken souvlaki platter, mussels with linguine, and a baked fillet of sole stuffed with crabmeat. The octopus was DELICIOUS, grilled perfectly so that it's just the right balance of chewy and tender. The eggplant dip was good too. My lamb gyro plate was heaped with lamb, pita bread, Greek fries, and salad. I couldn't even finish the whole thing. Also really good was the baked fillet of sole. It's pretty heavy when stuffed with the crabmeat but definitely worth trying and sharing with people. We also split a bottle of Greek white wine. It paired perfectly with the fish and mussels. The service was also superb. Very friendly and attentive staff. I'd definitely come back again next time I'm craving Greek food! read more

Traditional Greek fare in Dyker that does not disappoint. I've been here quite a few times on a Saturday evening and it's usually a full house. The grilled octopus is pricey, but the portion is completely worth it. The taramasalata spread is divine and if you order it on its own, the portion is huge and comes with a VERY generous serving of pita. This isn't your typical Greek take out - it's the kind you come in to enjoy with a glass of wine and good company, but don't let that deter you from ordering for delivery. Delivery is fast and they offer the option to order on Yelp or Seamless. I always order my dishes without dairy (which means no feta, sadly) and they have always been attentive to this. I'll definitely be back soon! read more

Meze oh Meze, this is a hidden gem in Dyker heights. To my fellow Yelpers, this place is worth the trip. They have such classic yet amazing dishes that are always fresh and amazing. My favorite is the stuffed squid with spicy feta cheese. Photo attached does not even do it ANY justice. The staff is friendly and it is my go to Greek spot. Oh also tzatziki lovers - you'll be in heaven. read more

Food was very mediocre, salad needed to be seasoned. Also got the zucchini chips, I've had them many places and i never seen them like this. Ordered the chicken platter, chicken was good fries and zucchini chips were very oily. Literally got our own plates and utensils since they were sitting at the table next to us. read more

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
