We had a great lunch - Fresh pita shawarmas and paleo bowl, tasty kombucha on tap, friendly counter service and a small outdoor seating area with great people watching. Not cheap but the ingredients are top notch, maybe they could be a little more generous with the meat portions but all in all, its good stuff... read more

I love the hummus here it's so smooth and tasty. I don't know much about Israel's food but I do know what tastes good. The pita bread is all it's own. Can't find it anywhere else. It goes so good with the hummus. The meat dishes are good. I think Afghan (very similar) meat dishes are better but it's all in the way they process them. Meze teas and Chai are really good. Sometimes I just go here for that. I would recommend this place to anyone who loves hummus and pita bread. This is a very unique restaurant that stands on its own. There isn't another one like it. I like patronizing local businesses. Meze foods are organic and sustainable. read more

Amazing staff, beyond delicious food, and a beautiful restaurant and outdoor seating area. Shoutout to the manager Chelsea who goes above and beyond! read more

MeZe Eatery - Creamy sunchoke soup with chicken - Middle Eastern Near Me - Grass Valley, California

Schwarma was dry, falafel was great. Picked up food to go. Both desserts were missing as were the drinks. Terrible service at pick up - no one wanted to assist. read more

Foods not good, staffs not nice. I've tried many times and have been very disappointed every single time. An employee even yelled at my young child when we were waiting on a narrow hallway to use the bathroom. He literally said "get out of my way!". The other man with the long hair isn't nice either. He Totally ignored me when it was my turn to order and a girl who hadn't clocked in yet had to help me. He didn't even look at me. They also claim to "not have tahini" to dip my dry falafels in. They serve falafel without anything to dip it in. Very strange. As a local, I won't be bringing any visitors here to say the least. read more

Now imagine you,ve to wear these diapers to protect your neighbor from pooping his pants......... read more

I had no idea what fabulous food waited for me - everything was delicious! The hummus was the best I've ever had. I found another great spot in Nevada County! read more

Chose this place based on the healthier choices it provided within this small town area. It was my first time coming here so unfortunately I did not understand how to order properly and I assumed that the dishes came on a plate. I ordered an paid yet when my order came it was not what I thought I had ordered. I then decided to re order another plate i did NOT ask for a refund I simply re ordered and paid although I did not eat anything from my first order. What was upsetting was that I ordered multiple things and the cashier did not think to explain the menu or how the servings worked she was rude and not helpful at all. I assume she was upset with me and the plate that I had to re order took at least 40 minutes for me to get and when I did get my food on the plate it was cold I did NOT complain because I don't like to complain nor ask for refunds. I will not be going back and I do not recommend this restaurant. read more

MeZe Eatery - Beef lamb w/ side of chicken - Middle Eastern Near Me - Grass Valley, California

Anti-science, anti-public health, and wildly overpriced self-serve, order-at-the-counter place. I had a gyro wrap, which was tasty, and a delicious housemade hibiscus lemonade they wouldn't refill. The bill was nearly $20 with a little tip. This place is an insult to the community and restaurants in general. read more

Wow is this place good. The food was delicious to the point we all cleared our plates despite filling up on the generous portions half way through. What's more, it arrived in under ten minutes. Plenty of vegan options and the malabi was incredibly complex and we all agreed one of the best desserts we'd ever had. My dad said, "It's not fair for this restaurant to be on this block. How are the others supposed to compete?" And still it wasn't crowded at 1pm. read more

Had the falafel dip platter. We shared and added an extra pita. Pitas are soft and pillowy. The dips were all good. There were 5 felafels, tasty and crunchy on outside. The tabbouleh was mostly greens and little bit of bulgar. No other vegies in the tabbouleh. No regular unsweetened ice tea. Plenty of seating. Friendly lady taking orders. read more

The felafel is amazing! Located on the walkable, no cars allowed street in down town grass valley, the ambiance was so friendly! I ordered mine over the phone to go and it was ready when I got there to pick it up. The staff was kind as well. read more

We stopped in Grass Valley after spending a few days camping in South Yuba. Quick Yelp searched landed us here. We ordered the beef & lamb kebab plate and the plant power platter(I'm a sucker for alliteration). Everything was delicious and super fresh. The hot sauces were yum but not what I would describe as hot, granted my heat tolerance is pretty high. Hummus was perfectly creamy. Kebab was exceptional. Well seasoned with warm earthy flavors and not too salty. Staff were all incredibly friendly and welcoming. Prices were fair considering portions and quality of food. We split the 2 platters between 3 adults and each had our own pita. We were full but not stuffed. The location is perfect. Situated amongst many shops in the main downtown area. Perfect for grabbing a bite and window shopping. If in town I'd definitely check them out. read more

Yep here again for soup and falafels!!! The veggie soup was more then Amazing, the mixed flavors were astonishing and the broth full of spices that are healing all around, thank you great job Everyone Absolutely the place to be!!! Staff is friendly and helpful and have clean hands when touching your food that's a big plus with me... Atmosphere is good and music not too loud. There services are better now that they got beepers for food orders so your not wondering when the food is ready..Great idea people love it. read more

The food was fantastic - fresh, healthy, and flavorful. The kid-friendly plates were much appreciated!

Super healthy and delicious food options. Great location near great shopping and the Del Oro Movie Theater.

Classy, delicious food. The chicken and beef/lamb were cooked perfectly. The sauces and sides were plated with care. We'll definitely be back. read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants in the area. My favorite entree is the falafel dip plate. The pita bread is fresh and soft. Their hummus is the creamiest hummus I've ever had, all the salads and dips are soooo good and I feel great after eating here. read more

Our experience today for lunch was fantastic. We dined outside on the new Mill Street. Loved the food, maybe best humus ever, my wife makes awesome humus so that is saying a lot. read more

Everybody needs to lighten up. This is solid store. Knock it off with quoting Calcode health regulations and all that crap. I've been ANSI FSP certified for 22 years. CA repealed the glove law and backed off on mask requirements- they simply don't stop viral transmission. This place is safe to eat, is fresh and delicious- Covidian germphobes stay home... you had your 3 year reign of terror. And expensive? Hardly. Obviously some folks need a food cost inflation webinar in lieu of visiting a grocery store. It's a miracle half of downtown GV food stores are still alive. Their Moroccan Rice subtlety inspired me. Lamb Kabobs depth and flavor profiles intimidated me. I taught myself Babaganouche after sampling theirs about 5 times. Fantastic hummus. One criticism ( getting a tad stingy on the pita distribution) The sign of true culinary greatness is when you go out and eat food offerings you normally may not like or try and leave amazed at how much you don't know.... and how inspiring it can be...and how much we all can learn from a world wide and full of endless cuisine motifs. read more

I was so excited to see that this place had Sabich, since I had only had it in Israel. It definitely hit the spot but was not great, as to be expected I guess. Unfortunately, the side of Baba Ganoush we got tasted like an ashtray and was inedible IMO. Lost a star because the line cook was wearing a mask...but it was under their chin. In fact, the cashier was the only employee wearing a mask properly. Seems like this is the case with most places in Grass Valley, though. read more

After waiting on hold for the SECOND time the woman that picked up after 25 mins said that her manager said that because they were so slammed everyone should be put on hold. This place has great food but horrible To go service. If time is of the essence or you just want to be able to make a to go Order over the phone... this is not the place to go EVER. If your on island time and have about an hour to go PICK UP food then I hope you're happy and they randomly pick up the phone. Two enthusiastic thumbs down. read more

MeZe Eatery - Then they hung up - Middle Eastern Near Me - Grass Valley, California

Some of the best I've ever had. Had the kebab and hummus plates, split with my kids and they gobbled it up.

Food taste just OK and isn't worth the price, in my opinion. The cashier named Chelsea didn't wear a mask, and her attitude is rude. Because of her, I would never come back to the restaurant, let alone recommend it to others. read more

Stopped in for a quick weekend bite- had the vegan bowls. What a wonderful blend of flavors! Everything was so fresh and well prepared. We'll definitely be back! read more

Yummy! Love the chicken shawarma and falafel! Really great desserts too. Nice to have something other than a burger or a taco in this area!

Lovely, fresh mediterranean restaurant with an emphasis on high quality local ingredients. I had the beef and lamb shawarma. It was great! read more

Disorganized didn't get what I ordered. Had to go back a few times. The food was OK, just not anything to write home about. read more

I hate to say this but I don't know what the hubbub is all about with this place. My wife is Armenian (and a vegetarian) and has been wanting to try their hummus and baba ganoush every time we walk by so we finally did. Having been married to a vegetarian for many years you can always gauge how good a restaurant's food is by how good the vegetarian is. Both dishes were almost tasteless in her opinion (mine too). Even salt would've helped. Yeah, yeah, yeah I read a bunch of the other reviews. I think these people need to get out more! Maybe go to the ethnic parts of San Francisco and see how real Middle Eastern, Lebanese, and Greek food really tastes. I had the chicken shawarma. Same thing. Needed more seasoning and was dry. Lastly, the cashier girl at the front was not who I would've had to greet people and take orders. She was aloof, semi-rude and did not pay attention to our orders. Anyhow, maybe we'll give them another chance and hope we just caught them on a bad day. In conclusion, sorry to say, but we really need a good Middle-Eastern place in Auburn-Grass Valley, that's off the charts! read more

Always consistently excellent,delicious and healthy fare. Whenever I am in Grass Valley, this is my go to place for lunch. The chicken schwarma is huge and flavirfulk. They use a wide range of spices... just a culinary treat! read more

Great good and friendly service! Love the Mediterranean food and especially like the hummus plate.

This place has delicious and health conscious food!! I go here at least twice weekly. I normally get the paleo bowl with the flavorful juicy chicken or the vegan bowl. Both so good! Their raw desserts are the perfect size and healthy and luscious at the same time!!!! read more

What a delight! When you try out a spot touting healthy or conscientious food, it's usually either bland and awkward or delicious and invigorating. MeZe is the latter for sure, in fact we were amazed at what a spectacular treat for the senses each plate was. We are visiting Nevada City but from now on we will always make a stop in Grass Valley to grab a bite at MeZe. read more

Their food is delicious. Casual atmosphere I think you'll like it. Mideastern type food. I recommend it.

Cute lil establishment with great food. I got the vegan bowl. Loved it. My husband got chicken shawarma. He said it was very good. We will definitely come again. Friendly staff. Nice location. read more

The food was excellent . The service had a lot to be desired. No one greeted us. Every person in there asked me if I had paid. I'd never been in there before. If restaurants are hurting they need good customer service. This one definitely does not have it.!!! I'm not sure if I'll go back As I was reading other reviews I saw I wasn't the only one that got the cold shoulder by the staff. They need to read the their reviews. There ae many great restaurants in This town that have great food. The difference is most of them act like their glad your there. " if there aren't customers you don't have a job" !!!!! read more

Fantastic food and excellent service. I wish there was more indoor seating, but in a pinch we can always take food to go. Highly recommend.
