The food is always good when I come here. Packed full of flavor and decent size portions. Service has always been great as well and the price isn't too expensive! It is more of a lunch type spot in my opinion. Smaller cute place with a few outside seats. read more

Located in the flatiron but somewhat close to Union Sq is fast casual joint Mezeh. Large space, lots of staff members, line moves relatively fast, portion size large, consistent tasty food. Big negative is that it's expensive. Almost $17 for their honey harissa chicken grain bowl which includes feta, rice, cucumbers, Avocado, pickled red onions They have an app, focused on Protein, offer tractor fountain soda with refills. Have a bathroom. Really impressive large dine in space. read more

Each bowl was reasonably priced and super filling. My first bowl was the honey harissa chicken which I paid an extra 1.75 for the shredded lamb. Lamb was a little bit flavorless and was dry. I liked the chipotle sauce, which adds flavor to the bowl. The service could use some work. I ordered on the app and they didn't start making my bowls until after I arrived, 12 minutes after I ordered. Otherwise, this location has ample seating and was calm and clean. read more

I stumbled upon this spot and it's like a Cava. They do bowls, salads, and wraps. I ordered the Mezeh Classic bowl, which comes with Chicken Shawarma and it was pretty good! The chicken was moist and flavorful. The bowl wasn't spicy at all and I felt like all the toppings that came with it went well. This establishment is super spacious with ample seating. There's also a restroom and a counter with all the cutlery you need. Staff is quick. Mezeh is your standard to-go meal spot! read more

They really aren't friendly if you have any questions. I felt mad uncomfortable there and will not go back.

My meal here was okay. I built my own bowl and I will say this place has the largest selection of toppings Ive ever seen at a bowl place like there were so many things to choose from. I got the chicken kebab which did not seem like kebab chicken and there wasnt very much of it either. There were much much more toppings so it felt like a toppings and rice bowl. It was pretty good, but wish there was more meat. Out of the toppings though OMFG the crispy chickpeas were FIREEEE I loved these so much the crunch was insane. Also I got a side of pita bread and it was a properly large sized pita! Not those tiny little things other places give you. read more

They did not have the pita which was a bummer so I got the wrap which was way too big for me and had some concerns for me. It was a classic falafel and their condiments are truly great. But they stuffed the already plain flour gluten rich wrap with rice and couscous ;) along with the generous falafel and veggies. To me it was carb loaded. It was my first time, but next time around I will get it tailored. Lasted me for two meals :) Nice clean place and good service. I'd love to have the pita please. And maybe a whole grain version? read more

SERVICE - located in flatiron off of broadway - good for a quick grab and go meal - seating available inside MENU - build your own Mediterranean inspired bowl - vegetarian/vegan options available - average price ($15 per bowl) FOOD - falafel greens and grains bowl (6/10): I tried all the toppings and my favorites were the black lentils, crunchy chickpeas, spicy hummus, and pickled beets. The falafel was decent though quite oily. The portions are very generous, each bowl lasting me two full meals. They give a piece of pita bread on the side which was a sad looking flour flatbread. WOULD I GO BACK? Probably not. It may have just been the day i went but i ended up with mild food poisoning the next morning. read more

I'm always down for a bowl and Mezeh has some delicious options. Kind of pricey compared to Cava and NAYA but the lamb is seasoned much better here and the falafel was crispier. I'll be back next time I think I deserve a treat for lunch. Huge space with lots of seating. read more

If you're looking for clean fast food, look no further!! Mezeh is one of my all time favorites and go-to for quick meals and the portions are so generous! They have so many different topping choices to make your own bowl at no additional cost and everything tastes so yummy! I love all the dips and the caramelized eggplant especially. Their side of bread is also so warm and tastes really fresh as well. I absolutely love Mezeh and it's such a staple for me and my friends. I definitely recommend trying out if you also enjoy places like Cava! read more

Upon entering this location on weekend, place is not pack at all. Plenty of seatings. Got the chicken shawarma bowl and you can add as many toppings as you like. My bowl came out huge and very filling. Love the combination of toppings and sauces. Service was quick as you just tell the staff what you want and they put it on the bowl for you. Then you pay and find a seat if you are sitting in. read more

2 stars only for the food, which was actually quite good. I like that they have an option for a build your own junior bowl at an affordable $7.95. The management and service was terrible however. I waited over 10 minutes just to place my order with 3 people ahead of me. The order style is similar to a Chipotle, where you go down the line and tell them what you want. I felt bad for the *only* front of house employee, who had to make the food, check people out AND clean up the dirty tables. There were at least two workers in the back of house, chopping vegetables instead of helping customers or helping their coworker who was clearly struggling to keep up. Management is clearly an issue because no one should be slicing vegetables when you have 5 people in line waiting to order and only one person taking orders and ringing them up. Chopping vegetables was not a priority as there was plenty of vegetables for customers in the front. After the front of house employee was able to get through the 5 of us in line (over 25 minutes to do this), she then went to clean up the dirty tables before the next customer arrived. Because the other employees were hiding in the back pretending to be busy, multiple tables sat dirty for an extended period of time. I just can't imagine being a coworker and not offering to help ring people up or even take some orders, and leaving your coworker to just rot up there by themselves!!! I cannot blame the person who made my food and rang me up. They were clearly doing their best and doing it alone. I was just appalled that the other employees (who were in customers line of vision) were either chopping vegetables and ignoring the line building up or sitting in the back doing who knows what. I can't even say they were short staffed. It seemed like they had enough staff, but they weren't prioritizing the right tasks. I'd come back for the food, but I am a little hesitant given the clear management issues here with prioritization. read more

I love Mezeh. It's a similar concept to Cava, but superior in my opinion as they have so many more options for toppings. The interior is huge with lots of seating, good spot for a quick casual lunch in Flatiron/Union Square area. When you look down the line where food is, there are so many colors and textures which just speaks to the variety and freshness you get here. I really do get a day's worth of vegetables with each bowl. For vegetarians, there's falafel and veggie kefta which are both fresh and flavorful. My bowl is always packed as it's hard not to get nearly every topping. Some of my favorites are the baba ghanoush, grilled eggplant, and beet dip. I always get a pita on the side, and the bread always tastes like it was baked that day. The service can sometimes be slow as there aren't many people working at any given time, but they ladies working their are kind and are nice enough to give me extra of my favorite dips on the side. read more

Mezeh - build your own bowl with falafel - Mediterranean Near Me - New York, New York

I love Mediterranean food and I love eating healthy, whole ingredients. Mezeh is perfect for both. They offer bowls with set combinations of ingredients, or ones you can customize yourself. If you don't fancy a bowl, grab a pita pocket or flatbread wrap, instead. You pick your base (I love the bulgar pilaf!), protein, toppings (all included!) and sauce, and you're good to go. Their fountain drinks are refreshing and the food is really good. It's flavorful and I would definitely suggest getting two sauces to try out because they're interesting and can provide a different flavor profile within the same meal. They have a large dining area and everything is clean. The staff is very helpful and patient. I immediately felt happy when I walked in. Parking is available right out front but obviously, weekends are going to be best for travel by car. Their food is great for taking out. Grab and go, find a pretty people-watching spot in the warmer weather months, and enjoy your lunch. Needless to say, I'll be back... read more

Literally barely any meat, $16 for a bowl of lettuce, tomatoes and chickpeas with a mediocre sauce. I love vegetables but not for $16.

I came here for a quick stop for dinner recently and I was pleased since it was still open and didn't take long to get food. The service was great. We asked to do a make your own bowl and the toppings weren't additional. That is such a nice change. We got half grilled chicken and half shawarma chicken and some mixed greens followed by rice and toppings and sauce. They even included a pita. The amount was very filling and could probably fill two if you aren't starving. I really like the interior and was glad there was ample seating. I can totally see this as a great place to meet with friends to get work done. There doesn't seem to be a rewards program yet but would definitely join if there was one. We didn't use the bathroom but it seemed cleaned like the rest of the restaurant. read more

Quite a yummy meal I got a bowl with chicken shawarma and it was delicious. I like the chicken quite a bit! This place is like a Mediterranean chipotle, where you pick your protein and everything you want in the bowl. They give you a little bit of everything, so you get to try lots of stuff. Of all the things I tried, I liked the eggplant the best! Would highly recommend it! Overall a delicious bowl of food :) read more

Mezeh - mezeh greek - Mediterranean Near Me - New York, New York

This is a great (new?) Mediterranean spot for a quick casual shawarma bowl. It is conveniently located next to the AMC 19th Street movie theater where I frequently go for the movies so now I can say I have a new quick go-to place for food before or after the movies. Ordering was not too complicated and I was able to easily customize the chicken shawarma bowl to my liking with various different toppings, ingredient and sauces. I loved everything and there was a slight kick of spice in the chicken shawarma but was cooled down by the yogurt sauce. On a side note, I came here on a Sunday in the early evening hours so it was pretty empty with only one person working the front doing everything but I assume that this place gets pretty busy on the weekdays during the lunch hours. read more

If you are a fan of 1) quick serve eateries 2) Mediterranean food 3) healthy food and 4) CAVA, the popular Mediterranean fast casual chain, you will like Mezeh. It feels very similar to CAVA, which I love, but actually even better in some ways. For one, they offer more protein options for vegetarians, like the veggie kefta. The falafel is also crispier, and the beet dip is not to be missed. You are allowed unlimited toppings, so you can leave with quite the hefty bowl. Some of the best toppings include the aforementioned beet dip, lebanese tabbouleh, sundried tomato salad, cilantro hummus, and crunchy chickpeas. Everything tastes really fresh and complements the other ingredients nicely. The food has always been served to me quickly and there's plenty of seating and I've always been able to have a quick, healthy, and peaceful meal here. While I'm not sure I'd go out of my way to eat this, I don't hesitate to drop in when I'm in the area. read more

Good portion size and good food from this FiDi restaurant with ample seating. I like the fact that the food seems less processed than some other places, though it's not fine dining. You'll finish full and refueled. I've come back for more. read more

I actually really like this place! I am a semi-vegetarian so the food options here are great! I enjoy the Mediterranean mix of halal meat, hummus, and salads. The price tag of $13 is great because majority of the meals in NYC costs at least $15+ now after inflations. The staff seem friendly and this location is spacious! I would come back to order again! read more

Sadly having to change my positive review. I ordered from here a few months ago and it was great. Unfortunately, this time my bowl was missing multiple toppings, and the toppings that were included were a thimble-full. The bowl itself was only half filled. The chicken was only a few small pieces, and the ingredients were mushy and flavorless. The pita included was hard and seemed stale. This place has really gone down in quality. read more

It's fine. This is the chipotle of mediterranean food. I like the wide assortment of toppings and elements you can add to your bowl. Pretty healthy and quick for a grab and go dinner or lunch. Not expensive, but not necessarily cheap either. The service was quick, no complaints. The space is decently large so you can sit inside to eat if you want - though there is no AC so in the summer it's a bit stuffy. read more

This has become my favorite place to get lunch during the work week. I like to make my own bowl. I always order the same thing, Spinach, brown basmati rice, protein, cilantro hummus and the roasted eggplant, Israeli salad, spicy feta, corn, harissa and tzatziki sauce. This food makes me feel good and it is so delicious. The meats are all halal, for those who follow a halal diet. read more

I would have not known about this new Mediterranean place between Union Square and Flatiron if it weren't for the Yelp Elite event. I came here really late and thankfully they are open until 9pm and the food (made a falafel bowl with everything in it) was still pretty good! It has plenty of seating room and it's set up like a Mediterranean Chipotle. The only issue was it barely had any signage so I walked past it a couple of times until I looked directly into the restaurant window. Hopefully, they do fix that otherwise you may completely miss it! read more

I tried this fast food place for the first time and got a custom bowl with two choices of the chicken and different sides to choose from. It looked and tasted ok but maybe I got too many mixes and was too full or the food wasn't clean because the next day I had digestive issues or food poisoning, and had to stay near my bathroom! Luckily it was only a mild case and lasted a day or two. I had to eat very plain food to make sure I was back to normal. Therefore I don't plan to go back. read more

Ok, so I hate to do them like this with the 3 stars because I've definitely enjoyed the food from here on occasion, and I keep coming back in hopes that I'll catch them on a good day. However, the following are the reasons for the 3 star treatment: 1) Sometimes it smells a little funky. My co-worker said like fish, but I actually think it's more a dirty mop kind of funk. Fix that please (a diffuser with some other fragrance by the door could help). 2) Sometimes the protein options are cold. Nobody wants those luke warm lamb meatballs. 3) The fountain beverages are terrible. Like absolutely not good. Do not drink those tarty, unflavored, teas. 4) They get a little stingy with the toppings from time to time. Like, can you refill this empty container of couscous and heap a full spoonful on, thank you. Again, it's not every-time, and like I mentioned, I've enjoyed the food, and it's affordable and efficient, but it's definitely a hit or miss. Today, it was a 3.5/4. read more

Another excellent addition to halal restaurant scene in NY. I've been going here for about a year and the food is always fresh and consistent and it's my go to place for a quick lunch. A word of warning, the place gets very busy around lunch time. So if you can go a bit earlier or later, you'll wait much less. In addition, I usually prefer to get takeout but if you prefer to eat over there, they have enough space and the interior is pretty clean. I also recently discovered they participate in MealPal. I'd prefer the regular "build your bowl" ordering but MealPal options are great as well. I'll continue to be back! read more

I came to Mezeh for the Yelp Elite event and enjoyed the free bowl. The staff was friendly but the language barrier was difficult to overcome. Beyond that it was quite slow so I'd have to imagine it can be improved somehow. I enjoyed the layout of the restaurant and aesthetic. I liked my bowl and the combination of flavors. It was tasty and the ingredients seemed fresh. If there was a Mezeh near my office or apartment I could see myself going there once in a while. I think it has a lot of potential if they could improve on the small pain points. read more

Came here a few times on my lunch break and really quite liked the food, but recently something seems a bit off. The meats kind of look like they've been sitting there just a touch too long, and strangely, the whole place smells fishy. I say strangely because there is no fish on the menu at all. I thought I was going crazy but it seems like other reviewers noticed this too The service isn't as friendly as it could be, again, as noted by other reviewers, but that isn't as off-putting to me as the smell that slaps ya when you walk in. Overall, just okay. Nothing to sing from the rooftops about. Nothing horribly wrong either. A solid 3/5. read more
