I love having lunch here whenever I'm at Fair Oaks Mall. I always select the junior bowl, which is the perfect portion. It comes with 4 toppings and a dressing. The staff who started the bowl was super friendly and inviting. She provided suggestions for anyone who was unsure/confused. I selected the spicy chicken, rice, lentils, spicy harissa and a few other items. This is a kid's bowl, but truly is the perfect portion. It also came with a warm pita bread. There is plenty of seating in the establishment as well as outdoor seating. Would I return? of course! read more

If you are looking to try something different style of chipotle style meal, this is it. One of my friends decided to grab a lunch from there. This location is right inside the mall, which makes it convenient tired parents and screaming children after a long day of shopping. In terms of food they have 3-4 types of meats, greens, grain and Mediterranean style toppings. You have option to create your own bowl or pick from one of their signature bowls and or wraps. The taste was average, nothing out of the ordinary. It is better than chipotle due to variety and more healthy options. I got shawarma bowl and it tasty. The sitting arrangement is a lot like chipotle with stools and some small tables and chairs. The ambience and furniture can use an upgrade for sure. Service was fast and poised, no Smiles what so ever but I get it working in the mall on a weekend can be brutal. Overall, I am abit health conscious so this a better alternative than chipotle with more toppings. I will come back again and try it. read more

The service here is awful and honestly today was really the end for me. I come here very often about once every two weeks for a pick up order. they never utilize the grab and go, so your stuck waiting at the front while the workers blatantly ignore you standing right in front of them. They will literally look dead at you and turn away at the register. The food is not nearly good enough to put up with it. thankfully there are places that have good gyros and shawarma's nearby read more

Standard Mezeh attached right next to the mall. As usual, can't go wrong with this kind of pick. A filling bowl of nice ingredients that don't break your wallet. No issues - service was the usual. Seating is a bit uncomfortable but that's every Mezeh. They kept the look and aesthetic too. Great place to get a meal when you're shopping here. read more

When I was ordering my food, the rice was running out. The employee helping me was scraping the bottom of the tray to get rice to put in my bowl. One person behind the cooking area called out to only do two spoons of rice. I ended up with very little rice in my bowl. That employee yelling from behind without seeing what was going on was a terrible customer service an terrible experience. read more

I went to this location to get some dinner with my friend. As I was ordering I noticed the guy, who was the elderly gentleman, was literally giving me a quarter scoop of every topping I was ordering. While I looked back at my friend's bowl and people behind him, everyone was getting full scoops of everything they were ordering. My bowl ended up looking barely half of a normal bowl I always get from mezeh. One of ladies made a face when I asked if that's normal for there to be that little and leaned into another lady to whisper a comment. They offered no help and all they did was ask "so do you still want this or not?" It took a while of talking to her for me to get an "extra scoop" of their spicy feta dip. I don't think I will be returning to this location, I rather drive an extra 10-15 mins to centreville read more

Food was so tasty and the portion sizes were great! I created my own bowl and basically added the majority of toppings. read more

We ordered the shawarma delight and the spicy meat lover. The shawarma was not my favorite but my forever dining partner absolutely SMASHED it. The spicy meat lover was PHENOMENAL and both of us inhaled it. The only thing tht stunk was that we wanted to order more and they had closed already LOL. Splendid and so worth it!! **if you're in a hotel ordering, keep in mind the water does not have twist off tops. So they're impossible to open read more

I've been eyeing this restaurant since it is similar to CAVA, so I tried it for the first time. I walked in and it wasn't packed or busy. I ordered the falafel classic mixed with chicken shwarma and a few other toppings. For some reason, I was given a little bit of dressing and the portions weren't really hefty. I wish that I requested more dressing because my salad tasted quite dry. The falafel was also very dry. The staff were friendly but that's not enough to persuade me to come back and purchase food from here again. I've gotten heftier portions at Chipotle and CAVA compared to Mezeh. read more

How did we not discover mezeh sooner? The portions, price, and overall experience is so much better than cava. Cava's sole focus is growing share price now so the food quality, quantity are all terrible. If you like the food though, mezeh is a great alternative. The staff is very pleasant/patient. Much more abundant toppings including more interesting choices and the food is cooked well overall. Also tons of sauces and dressings to choose from. We will definitely be frequenting mezeh more often. read more

I love international cuisine. If a restaurant wants to label themselves as a particular cuisine then own it, commit. I was disappointed with the food (except the pita which was awesome) because they went halfway The spice was barely discernible. Cost for a gyro was twice what I paid elsewhere for a better wrap. Probably won't return. read more

So this is very different from what I'd typically eat. I get apprehensive with build a bowl restaurants but I decided to give it a shot. I got a bowl and tried the veggie kofta and chicken kabob. There were so many sides I was a little Overwhelmed but the staff let me know what was what and it had signs and an allergens menu: I really really enjoyed this, it felt light and still very filling. I'll be back soon. read more

I'm so glad this is here. Absolutely delicious Mediterranean/Lebanese food. My recommendation is the hot chicken bowl. This has so many healthy and fresh ingredients. Also it will provide real sustenance. This is my preferred lunch place, and the bread served with the entrees is quite good. You get good portions, and eating healthy at the same time, is a winning combination. Yes I do like the stand alone ones more, but still happy it's in the mall here. It is still comfortable and relaxing. Sometimes it can get busy, but the employees do their best to keep pace. As for seating it's quite good, although I like the wooden bar set up, as usually am dining alone. The entire restaurant is immaculately clean. There are a number of choices to choose from here, but I always go to this restaurant, as the food taste and quality help it reach new heights. read more

Ah Mezeh Mediterranean Grill in FairFax Mall is 10/10. The decor in this fast food joint is very modern and funny enough reminds of Amazon. If you've been to a sweet greens or a chipotle and are looking for a Mediterranean version you've got it here! This location is in Fair Oaks mall with a decent sized patio and PLENTY of parking. The service was so friendly, as usual I took a bit of time trying to figure out what I wanted to order and the team was very patient with me. Big plus the restaurant was also spotless, unlike other fast food joints where tables tend to have a bit of stickiness to them. What sets them apart from other similar chains are the topping options - everything I ordered tasted so fresh and my bowl just had some beautiful color to it. Can't wait to return! I wish they would open some chains in the NJ / NY area. read more

Which is better, CaVA or Mezeh? I'm thinking Mezeh. Try this location in the Fairoaks Mall. It's fairly new. The staff is very helpful, portions are very generous and most importantly the food tastes excellent. read more

I was so excited to try the Mediterranean pizza since they had announced the new menu. Finally I did. I ordered Spicy Eggplant Mediterranean Pizza last night. Yayyyy!! It was YUMMMM!!! The blend of spicy hummus & baba Ghanoush with mozzarella cheese was AMAZING!! I've been always a fan of Mezeh salads and their generous serving size! This pizza had a plentiful toppings as well. The pita bread was soft & fresh, the toppings & greens were delicious! I would love to try the other options they've got in their pizzas! Can't wait! read more

Visited this location today for the first time in ages. With the online order, there are 3 choices to get your order; delivery, grab and go, and curbside pickup. I chose Curbside Pick up. When I entered my car make and color information for my order, I entered a wrong info. I forgot I was driving my wife's car and entered my own car info. So I got out and went into the store to pick up my order. :) There were some people lining up to order but keeping social distance and no one was eating in. The grab and go shelf was right inside the entrance and it was very clearly marked. I felt safe in the store and I will probably come back to do the 'grab and go' next time, since I can't remember which car I am driving any more. ;) The food was very good as always. My favorite is falafel bowl with almost everything. read more

The quality has really gone down here. The reason I'd give them 4 instead of 3 is that although the quality isn't as good, the employees aren't rude. Here's a summary of the last 4 times I had Mezeh: - Cashier doesn't speak much English, so when I scanned my app, she acted as if it worked (to get my points) even after I asked, instead of saying she didn't understand/asking for help. - Never order Mezeh through the delivery app, the first and only time I did that, I literally had 5 pieces of chicken in my bowl. My husband noticing them doing the same thing when packing a delivery order once while in the restaurant. You also dont't get your points when ordering through the app. I come to Mezeh for the variety of toppings I can get in my bowl and because they have crispy falafels, but I've since returned to their competition. Maybe I'll be back after some time to see if things have changed, but I'm done for a while. read more

I am usually in love with my Mezzah bowl however today .... What's up with the smaller takeout bowl? They're trying to say it's the same size ... judging by my leftovers no chance this is the same size ... I would usually have half the container to take home .... Not Happy .... I guess I'll just go to CAVA next time read more

So good! The Yelp fam points us towards the right direction once again. Located inside Fair Oaks Mall. Plenty of seating is available. The restaurant is clean and organized. Employees are friendly, quick, and helpful. I appreciate all the fresh ingredients offered at Mezeh. Everything is so bright and colorful. The ordering process is similar to Chipotle and CAVA. At Mezeh, you can choose a bowl, flatbread wrap, pita pocket, or a kids bowl. There are a variety of bases to choose from (e.g. mixed greens, spinach, kale, basmati rice, bulgar pilaf). Proteins include chicken shawarma, falafel, chicken kebab, steak shawarma, shredded lamb, lamb kefta, and vegetable kefta. They offer a large variety of toppings: Turkish salad, hummus, Lebanese tabbouleh, cous cous, roasted corn, feta, lemon-mint carrots, baba ganoush, caramelized eggplant, chickpea salad, beets, olives, sunflower seeds, crunchy chickpeas, pickled turnips, and so much more! Sauces include tzatziki, harissa, tahini, balsamic vinaigrette, Greek feta, cilantro vinaigrette, lemon garlic, and spicy mango. Everything here is so fresh and flavorful. Quality ingredients are used and you can taste the difference. We will definitely be back, again and again! read more

I have ordered from this location (Fair Oaks) twice, and the food has been generous and excellent. I plan to go back!

We have been going here almost every week now. My mom loves their chicken chicken. I enjoy their lamb meals. The food is good and they always get the orders right. read more

Loved it!!! Must try it!!!! Delicious!!! It's set up like a cafeteria, where you pick out items as you move down the line. You choose the size of the bowl. Then the vegetable of choice, starch of choice, one protein and then any of whatever is on the left side of the protein selection!!! I had a field day trying a whole loads of options and everything was actually delicious!!! I'll be here as much as I can. The reason I gave 1 less star: service wasn't so nice or friendly. Other than that, the place was clean and the food was amazing with lots of options!!! read more

This was my first time ever at Mezeh. If you've been to CAVA, the process is exactly the same. I liked the choice of half rice and half lettuce and a choice of meat. There are a lot of choices for toppings. The restaurant has a lot of seating and the tables are overall clean, but there was a fly that kept flying around. But overall it was a good meal! :) read more

mezeh - Half greens & grains, Chicken Shawarma, so many other toppings~ (8/10) - Mediterranean Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

Delicious fast casual style restaurant with Mediterranean style food. Pick a base: greens, rice, etc. add protein and toppings. At least 30 toppings to pick from including grains like couscous, tabbouleh, bulgar, and vegetables like chickpeas, onions, grilled eggplant, and sauces like hummus, tatziki, Great portion sizes. Good drink selections aside from your typical sodas. I got a kale cucumber lemonade that was so good. We are visiting the Fairfax/DC area from out of town and stumbled upon this location after doing some shopping. Wish we had this in Virginia Beach! read more

mezeh - Bowl of goodness - Mediterranean Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

I love this place. I just stumble upon it when I was visiting the Fairfax Mall. Just like a Chipotle but Mediterranean food. You choose whether you want a salad bowl, a rice bowl or mixed Bowl. Then you go on to choose your protein, your vegetables, and then you finish off with a dressing. I'm pretty simple I don't like too much mixing. So I just got the rice bowl, with chicken kabob, garbanzo beans, corn and a little bit of the tzatziki sauce. It was wonderful. It was also visually pleasing. I think the prices are decent. Their drinks are like organic or something like that. 5 stars. read more

The upside is that the food, what we were able to eat, tasted good. The downside: my wife's gluten free bowl had a fly crawl out after she had gotten about halfway through. They forgot to give us the three bites of baklava that cost $2. Even though we ordered "curbside" and called as instructed, I had to go inside after waiting 10 minutes to get my order off of the "to go" rack. When you call to tell them you are waiting for your curbside order or to complain about the fly in your food or the missing food, nobody speaks English. Their food is good. This location is, well, if I could give zero stars, I would. Go to the Old Keene Mill location. read more

Wow! Think of CAVA, but better, and you have Mezeh! The concept is similar but I believe Mezeh's prices are a little bit lower but they definitely pack on the toppings in your bowl! It was a little bit hard for me to find in the mall at first but I'm glad they opened a location at Fair Oaks. I will definitely be going more often now that it's closer to home and work! read more

mezeh - mixed bowl & super loaded! - Mediterranean Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

This place is a really good alternative to Cava. Everything looked really good and fresh. Ordering was fast. The only thing that I was somewhat down about was that they were almost out of caramelized eggplants, so I only got 2 small slices since it didn't seem like they were going to make more. I got a normal sized bowl that consisted of: Arugula, White Basmati Rice, Chicken Shawarma, Turkish Salad, Lebanese Tabbouleh, Cilantro Hummus, Roasted Vegetables, Caramelized Eggplant, Roasted Corn, Cherry Tomatoes, and topped it off with Balsamic Vinaigrette & Lemon Garlic. It tasted really yummy, especially with the nice warm pita bread that they give you on the side too! There is also a decent amount of seating and if the weather is nice, there is seating outside as well. read more

The food was delicious. I had Mediterranean salad with salmon. Enjoyed it very much. Ambiance was good and our server was very attentive.

A couple years ago this was my go-to spot in the mall but lately the portions have been absolutely terrible. They put only a little bit of meat AND charge 3.50 extra bucks for it. They put the salad with a little spoon and didn't let me get more than that. Im disappointed in Mezeh since how great it used to be. DO NOT GO HERE read more

IF you don't have the time to read .. Just Go Eat There! Pick a bowl, pita pocket or a flatbread wrap and there is no rules .. Just fill it up. Some toppings will be for extra charge , meats & dips are not unlimited! Before everyone start bringing names and say Cava , Chipotle, etc.. That's neither a Cava nor Chipotle! That's neither Greek nor Mexican!! Got it? :)) That's a line style restaurant that serve a Mediterranean food (more close to a Lebanese and Israeli style!) So toppings are different and unique! I salute them for the way they choose their locations , they are always at the right spot and make a huge difference and a great add to the place they go to! Talking about Fair Oaks mall and also about the National Harbour,MD. I asked for a mix bowl , Arugula with extra rice on the top (the rice was amazing!!well spiced) then I split my bowl with half chicken Shawarma and half steak Shawarma but they also had lots of other great toppings! Spicy Kafta , Kafta , Falafel and chicken kabob. Different choices of toppings were available ( I got taboula , pita crisp , pickled onions) and wonderful spreads (I got spicy hummes , baba gannoush, kaçik and spicy feta) They have very nice sauces and dressings to choose from , I love to get it on the side.I got Tahini & Harrisa. Tahini is a must with the meats but they really can do much better Tahini than this! I also recommend that they do a garlic sauce (tumeya in Lebanese) because it's a great match to the chicken Shawarma or kabob. The Shawarma is not made on the vertical grill so don't really expect an authentic Shawarma however it's well spiced and the thing that you won't find all of these great toppings at a Shawarma place . The staff is nice and friendly .. store manager gave a 5 stars customer service when I had a problem with my Groupon. Don't look for their Groupon , you won't find it anymore. It was like their opening gift!! They offer nice drinks and juices. Prices are in the average for that kind of a restaurant. Not bad. Make sure you use the LevelUp app with them!! I'll go for the falafel next time and review it. read more

A quick and convenient meal for a decent price and healthy if you want it to be! Love the order online option for a quick in and out trip. My go to is the chicken shawarma over a mix of brown rice or pilaf and mixed greens with lots of toppings. There's plenty to choose from but I highly recommend adding the cilantro hummus to your meal (yum). My favorite dressings are the harissa, lemon garlic, and cilantro vinaigrette. Just remember to not talk to anyone for the next week if you get the lemon garlic! read more

Why did they get rid of caramelized eggplant?? That was my favorite topping :,,O besides that everything else is good.

Never, Never, Never, place a catering order with them. I placed a catering order with them after a lot of run around. I wanted to place the order after talking to a live person so that I could get their suggestions. But hell no. Noone picks up the phone on the catering line. I went physically to fair oaks store, and they said they do not take catering orders. Then I paced it online as I know that their food tastes good. When I went to pick up they did not have any arugula (part of my order - they did not offer substitution). And then, one of the over-experienced staff told me that Veg. Kefta and Falafel are one and the same thing (and these guys work in a Mediterranean food restaurant). So I had to live with only a dump of one protein instead of the two proteins that I had to pay. Then I checked the items placed in my bag against the order and there we were, two missing items. So Never again I am placing a catering order. I would rather just go there and get what I want in front of my eyes. Run away from them if you are catering. read more

If you love Cava, you will love this place too. I did! Ingredients were fresh and most of all the meats didn't taste processed or over seasoned with salt! I attended an event there last night. As far as the current trend is... filing down the line picking out your ingredients, it can be overwhelming... Luckily, staff is friendly and helpful offering good suggestions on combinations. Plus, the place is clean with nice outdoor seating. I had the green bowl with quinoa and a mix of chicken and steak. It was actually amazing. I'm watching my carbs and this meal filled me up. I added a little cilantro hummus and that really hit the spot. I look forward to coming back again. Loved the healthy options! Prices are reasonable too! read more
