I personally enjoy this restaurant, but it could be better with a change of staff. The food is good, mediterranean served Chipotle style. A bit expensive, but seems like quality ingredients. The restaurant was clean and very open and bright. The staff just seems uninterested and not invested with an indifferent attitude. Despite that, will be back! read more

Quick and healthy. Really like the concept of Mediterranean food being served in Chipotle style fast casual. The staff were very nice and plenty of seating inside. Food hit the spot and was very customizable which is extremely helpful when you have medical dietary restrictions. Portions are large and can be split into two meals. Was in and out in no time. read more

Basically CAVA with different options. You pick what you want in your bowl and it's pretty affordable. There are a variety of meat options - a chicken shawarma, another chicken option, as well as about four more. Lots of different choices for starches and veggies too. It was super quiet when I came here too (noon on a gameday, so I was kinda surprised). read more

Management issues. The food is fresh, no complaints there. However, one of the employees brought her baby to work at noon on Saturday, 11-30-24. The baby was crying for a solid 15 minutes (at least) during the lunch rush. To be clear, I don't care about disturbing the customers, but I do care for the baby who is not getting his or her needs met sufficiently :-( I understand childcare is expensive, but bringing your baby to work then letting him/her cry is not the answer. Other management issues: the front door is broken and service was really slow. All of this can be solved if there was a manager on site, which there was not. There usually isn't. Gotta show up and be there to solve problems and do your job. read more

A long weekend visit to VT and wanting to find something relatively quick, easy, not break the bank, on the healthier side and easy in/out including parking. It was a Sunday night around 8PM - didn't know whether we would encounter a crowd and a long line. Pleasantly surprised that the place was virtually empty! Score! Think Chipotle and Cava. Same dining concept. More towards Cava / Mediterranean add-ins. Lots more choices than Cava (see my pics). Drink situation: forewarning - they have no Coke / Pepsi soda fountain products. Never seen that before. Instead they have some pretty cool non-carbonated juices with cool flavor combos. REALLY LIKED THEM! (Especially the Berry Watermelon!) I took a pic of the "flavors" they have. You walk in and the place is soooo inviting, open and SPOTLESS CLEAN. Loads of inviting seating to camp out in. Great hang out place. Very centrally located off of Prices Fork Rd. In the shopping center where Panda Express, CVS, Chipotle is. Plenty of parking in the shopping center lot. Bottom line, I gave this place 4 stars because of location, cleanliness, no crowds, great service (pleasant and friendly workers), cafeteria style service = cost effective, open late (10PM). Our meals were...fine, no issues. None of us were crazy gaga over our bowls but then again I've never "gushed" about a meal at Cava or Chipotle either. It met our needs and, frankly, there are limited other options around campus that are open later in the evening. Mezeh is just fine for what it is and what it offers. read more

Having a fast-casual Mediterranean chain in Blacksburg has been nice! I tried this spot a few weeks ago, having never stepped foot in a Mezeh. I will admit that I am a big Cava fan and this did not compare to the food and service quality there. The line in which you wait for food doesn't really have any signage of how to order/the process. The options available are extensive, which is awesome since my friend tried the lamb and I had falafel. The restaurant itself was crowded when we went, however, the restaurant didn't seem to be able to handle it. read more

Tasty counter service Mediterranean style food. I had falafel in a blanket (pita sandwich). The toppings were fresh and appeared to have been made on site. read more

Great place for healthier food. Had the make my own salad. Tons of interesting toppings to choose from. Each one was excellent. Topped my salad bowl with hummus, pickled beets, couscous salad and more. The beet purée was the best. Could have eaten a bowl of it with flatbreads as a meal and been perfectly happy. read more

Location has nice decor with indoor and outdoor seating areas. However, the indoor seats become overly crowded very quickly just because of the layout. It would be hard to maneuver around people during a rush. They had a line but the service is extremely quick. So quick you probably want to have an idea of what you want before you get to the person making your dish. They have paper menus available by the door to look over while in line. They have options for rice bowls, salads, pitas, etc. They have a very large variety of toppings. Everything we tried has very well made and flavorful and was a great opportunity to try new things. They have more healthy or vegetarian options than you would get in most other fast food places. They don't server "normal" soft drinks. They have fruit punch style drinks and unusual sodas. I really enjoyed the flavors. I really hates that there wasn't ice available. Personal preference, can't stand room temperature drinks. Portions were good for the price which is just slightly higher than what you would normally categorize as fast food. read more

If you've been to Cava, then know that this place serves pretty much the same food (same, if you don't know the nuances of various Middle Eastern foods). I'm definitely happy to have a place like this here in Blacksburg with light, but great tasting food at an affordable price. I got a bowl, and I was surprised to find you can pick as many toppings you want! (I'm not sure about meats specifically, but I think there's no limit for everything else). They also have cute and fresh fruit juices to accompany your meal. Overall, I'd highly recommend Mezeh; I know I'll be back :) read more

Mezeh - Mediterranean Near Me - Blacksburg, Virginia

Loved it! Amazing build your own bowl! Great for vegetarians! The baklava was yum, great way to end the meal!

Pretty good spot for lunch! Lots of options so it's super customizable for anyone (& and diet!) I only gave 4 stars because they don't have "normal" drinks (I.e. coke or Pepsi). They only have natural drinks which I personally do not prefer. It's also a little pricy for us college aged kids! Definitely worth trying - it's a lot of choices and can be overwhelming but go with your gut! (Also it's a little spicy so make sure you get something to help cool down your dish - dressing/dips)! read more

Mezeh - Chicken Mixed Bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Blacksburg, Virginia

Excellent food, really enjoyed the juice selection as well. Definitely get some falafels on the side as well!

The food looked good while standing in line but became less appealing with the long wait despite few customers in the cold and lifeless restaurant. I think they had a lot of door dashing going on. The guy in front of me had a great bowl made so I was encouraged. He must have been friends with the server as I was given 1/2 the portion's despite requesting the same items. I will not be returning.., read more

Very delicious and super fresh! Got my order super fast. And had plenty of food! Too bad they're not in my area.

Foods okay. Consistently screw up pick up orders.

It's taken me a while to figure out my fave order at Mezeh. I'm a bit of a wuss and had an early unfortunate run-in with the too-spicy-for-me chicken shawarma. Now that I've discovered the crispy goodness that is their falafel, I'm happy. The bowls are enormous and filling (two meals, probably), and the veggie toppings feel really fresh and healthy. Please, please do yourself a favor and get some extra pita bread for a buck. Their covid-19 takeout process is smooth. Easy online ordering, and though they're running with a skeleton crew, the food was ready not long after I got there. Honestly, I may prefer online ordering to in person. Being able to read descriptions of the ingredients made me brave enough to add sumac cucumbers and baba ganoush to my bowl. Both were winners. Even for a wuss. read more

Excellent food, I had the protein bowl and it was nicely spicy. The staff was very friendly and attentive however I ordered takeout through GrubHub and said no onions but there were red onions in the protein bowl and I had ordered a pita chips as well but I think because it was on a separate receipt from GrubHub they forgot to include it in the order and I did not realize until I got to my hotel room. Still I would definitely come back again when I am in Blacksburg. read more

They just added pizza to their dine-in menu , they are absolutely delicious. My favorite is the steak and egg...on a pizza!!!! It's like a party for your tastebuds! Also they freshly bake these ginormous chocolate chip cookies that is 1.67 (total with tax) . Soooo good! And they have homemade baklava that is mouthwatering delicious. I also put their signature spicy feta dip on everything- it's that good!!!! read more

Food is good. They're always understaffed however. Ordered a takeout online and was told it would be ready at 12:21. Showed up at 12;39, took five minutes of me standing in line for someone to recognize me to be told that they were only just now bringing together. I've been standing here for ten minutes. Literally could have just stood in line and been done before now. Great food. Average service. Below average process. read more

Super fresh ingredients. Lots of veggies and pickled items to choose from. Tons of sauces and dips to add. Loved that they had all the allergens listed on the menu. Easy to eat here. read more

This was my first time at a mezza. We just happened on it after our orientation at Tech. It was opening day. It works just like a Chipotle or a Qdoba. You walk in, you go through a line, and walk going through the line you let them know what you want. You choose between a bowl, a stuffed pita or a rolled pita. So the first thing is what kind of grain you want. You can choose between white rice, brown rice, and there were some other grains that I don't remember. After that you choose what kind of salad greens that you want. After that you choose the type of protein you want. They have shredded lamb, steak, chicken, falafel, and maybe tofu. I could be wrong about that I don't remember. then comes the awesome part with the toppings. There's so many toppings I can't remember them all. There's spicy hummus, regular hummus, herbed hummus, tabulah, Turkish salad which is like cucumber and tomato diced up really small, tzaziki sauce, etc. You get a small pita if you get the bowl. And it's warm and soft and crispy around the edges. Absolutely delicious. You can also choose at the end to have some pita chips if you want and I think there was some kind of dessert there. After you pay you go to the train station. And they have all these different kinds of lemonades there. And some craft sodas. I tried the tropical lemonade with kale and cucumber. And that sounds disgusting doesn't it? It's not. It's so delicious, and you can't taste the kale or the cucumber. I'm hoping that they'll be opening one near me soon. read more

Summer salad with pita bread was delicious, fresh, and every bite was different. I was pretty hungry and it filled me up. Super good and fast service. read more

I have gotten hooked on getting their bowls when I have time in between classes. It's a flavor fusion that is unique and definitely not bland. I usually get the chicken shawarma or kofta on a bed of mixed arugula and greens with a variety of hummus's, baba ghanoush, and pickled or roasted veggies. Top it off with the lemon garlic dressing and my day is made. Service was efficient and helpful. read more

I went back to Mezeh at this location and like always the food is fresh and super delicious, excellent customer service, Martha and Julissa went over and beyond explaining me the food I never taste before, they even let me try the spicy hummus Before order, I was afraid it will be too spicy for my taste but was not that bad. Thank you ladies for make me feel so welcome. Definitely recommended and we will come back again. read more

After "dining" from a local Brazilian restaurant near by that was a disappointed we decided to eat something else ; well Mezeh was a hit; we ordered the bowl; half lamb and half spicy chicken ; every ingredient freshly made and flavorful! The server super patient in explaining the menu card. read more

Wanting to avoid the $30 per person Mother's Day brunch prices at many local restaurants we opted to stop in at Mezeh's. From its eclectic fun atmosphere to the delicious bowls and tea options to the friendly, helpful workers...all 7 of us in our party raved about the fresh, high quality food choices and everyone agreed that we'd definitely come again...even the pickiest of us...We especially loved the shawarma, spicy feta, garlic-lemon dressing, the pita bread, traditional hummus, pickles items and the baklava....I could actually go on and on!! It made for a casual, family friendly, lower cost option. Highly recommended! read more

Our family of 5 ate here for lunch. We are fans of Mediterranean food and this did not disappoint. 2 had wraps. The test of us had bowls. Chicken kabob, lamb and beef were all juicy and nicely spiced. I really love tff be e concept of building your on bowl. I have to admit I was jealous of my kids flatbread wrap. I had a bite and the bread was delicious. read more

Oh. My. Yumminess!!! This place is phenomenal! The food is so fresh and flavorful. We'll definitely go back again and again and again!

I'm so glad Mezeh is here, and even gladder it's near my apartment! They have options for vegetarians and omnivores alike. I can only speak to the falafel and veggie kefta but I love both. I have my favorite toppings like the Greek yogurt dip and the roasted eggplant, but I try to switch it up. read more

This restaurant sucks. Ordered food through Uber eats, and they marked my order as ready for pickup; however, they told my driver they couldn't make the food I ordered. They then proceeded to not cancel my order, resulting in numerous drivers wasting their time driving to the restaurant just to find out the order was unable to be made. read more

Went into the Blacksburg, VA restaurant today and ordered a to-go bowl. The two female employees were extremely rude and hateful. No one greeted me and they rolled their eyes, huffed, and were blatantly hateful to me while getting my food (and we're just as hateful to the other guests in the restaurant).The lady who was checking me out threw my side of tzatziki sauce in my bag and was extremely condescending when I was trying to get the QR code scanner to take my payment. I have never experienced such terrible customer service in my life. I will definitely NOT patron this restaurant again if either of those employees are working. As good as the food is, the poor customer service makes it not worth eating there. read more

I was very happy with our visit. I love the diverse selection, it was great to build my own Mediterranean dish.

Delicious, healthy, tasty and fresh! I love coming here when I visit! Fast and friendly service ! Great location!

This was hands down one of the worst experiences I have ever had at a restaurant ever. I I ordered two bowls which tasted absolutely horrible both me and two of my friends tried the bowls and wanted to throw up from how bad it was, something tasted as if it was rotten. When I called the restaurant they told me they couldn't do anything until the manger came tomorrow. The next day the manger never called so I called them and they didn't answer. I then called the next day where the manger proceeded to tell me I was lying and then hung the phone up on my face. WORST FOOD AND MANAGING I have ever experienced I literally downloaded help just to write about how horrible this place is DONT GO! read more

Mezeh Grill just opened up yesterday here in Blacksburg VA and I've been craving for this beef shawarma for ages. A lot of tables inside and very pretty interior. They offer healthy selection of drinks too and I was so excited when I saw papaya juice in there. At first the grill wasn't working and I told them I was willing to wait for few mins so I can get the beef shawarma. They were very friendly and customer service is great, they gave me bigger portions because I had to wait for a little bit. You can have everything in the toppings and sauce and they will gladly give recommendations too. I also asked for extra sauce and they gave me without questions asked. The tzatziki sauce and the cilantro hummus are awesome. I tried the bowl today since I really missed shawarma rice but I want to try the pita next time. Highly recommended! read more
