    Mezeh is a fast casual restaurant in the heart of the financial district. I stopped by here for a quick late lunch after working most of the afternoon. I ordered a mezeh classic bowl which has white basmati rice, spicy chicken shawarma, spicy hummus, tzatziki dip, Lebanese tabbouleh, red cabbage slaw, corn salsa, sumac cucumbers, carmalized eggplant, and pickled turnips. Such a colorful bowl! ($12.29) A great price for what you get which could be two meals in one. This was packed with flavor and I loved every second of it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I also felt so much joy by the colors and light decor in here.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Staff was so nice and accommodating!

    Overall pretty good. It's a similar concept as Cava where you can create your own bowl and ask for as many toppings as you want. I came right at opening. I will say though that the rice was way overcooked and was mushy and questionable, and the lemon garlic sauce wasnt mixed well, but I still enjoyed the meal.

    Stopped in here for lunch after getting my $16 haircut down the block. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place looks beautiful, in the inside there's Mediterranean art and mosaic tiles. In the middle you have a big table with stools and gorgeous lamps.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This place was really something. The food was delicious and fresh kinda like a chipotle but make it Mediterranean. Lots of food choices here and toppings galore. I ordered the bowl with chicken, spinach, black beans and a few other toppings, with a water that came out to about $17. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The only thing they need to work on is that front door. They need a vestibule to block out the cold air, if you are sitting in any booth on that strip in the front you will feel the breeze everytime that door opens.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Brrr.. Sit anywhere else if you mind.

    Lovely packaging and huge portions. I had a Uber eats deal buy one get 1 free so I saved the other for lunch the next day. They gave a lot of extra pitas and sauces in the order. Flavorful and fresh. Healthy option.

    Super great addition to the fast casual spots in the area!! I stopped by mezeh at around 8:30pm on a Friday and was served super quickly. I was in and out in like 5 minutes. They have lots of seating in the restaurant, everything was very clean, and the space is huge!! The tables and decor were nice and they could even seat larger groups as well. The service was very nice as well! Extremely kind, and they didn't make me feel rushed at all. The food was delicious-- I can't rave enough about it. The dips and toppings were very flavorful. I loooveeeeddd the spicy hummus, baba ganoush, and pickled cauliflower/carrots. The proteins stood out especially! I got half chicken shawarma and half falafel in my bowl. There were some other dips and toppings I would've liked to try, but I didn't want to trouble them to bring them out so close to closing. Can't wait to go back to try the whole spread, perhaps a wrap or pita pocket too!!!

    a good spot for a quick Mediterranean meal! I stopped by one night as I was looking for a more casual spot to grab a quick bite that wasn't fast food and this place was great! it reminded me of cava with the build your own bowls & pitas but the topping choices were a bit different. I was too lazy to build my own so I chose the mezeh classic which came w everything I liked! I asked the worker if I was able to add stuff on but I think there was a language barrier so I'm still not sure of the answer, but I was still happy w what came in my bowl! I saw that there was no chicken shawarma when I sat down to eat it and the worker quickly resolved this issue and gave me three large scoops of chicken! I was very impressed by the customer service and the food itself, which was bursting with flavor! I do wish I could've added different sauces but it was still good! the portion was very generous as well and lasted me 2 meals! I think I'll try to order my own bowl next time to make it more customizable though.

    I dropped by today to pick up a lemon garlic kebab grain bowl. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior seemed nice and clean with vibrant colors.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The vegetable ingredients and meat looked fresh and seasoned well, so II was excited to try out the food once I got back to my desk. Unfortunately my chicken kebab pieces were undercooked and still pink. The search continues for tasty Mediterranean food....

    The over all experience was alright. It was 8pm so it was not busy. Good portion and seem you can pick more than other salad places before it goes over extra.. flavor of everything was subtle in taste which is good since it might not have a lot of sharp but having sharp taste at other salad places you get thrown off for a sec. It wouldn't be my go to spot but if Iam feeling cheaper I might go home. Almost same price as competition. Even the juice did not have enough sugar but it was good. I do t mind it just giving review so one can know what they are about o get into. $13.15 for the big bowl and then $3 for drink which they have 4 flavors.

    Food is ok very small portions on the protein. Food doesn't taste fresh for some reason. For $15-17 you can get more elsewhere.

First thing you'll notice upon entry is how absolutely decorated it is. If you're a fan of Witcher, it's like walking into an an old-timey tavern. If you have no idea then-- it's like an old-timey tavern. I wouldn't be surprised of they had bard Fridays and homemade mead. It's also a big space. Reminds me of one of the last remnants of the bygone era that was the Obama-era glow. Like peak millenial where restaurants were starting to get viral but not to the point where they have to hyper compete with a gimmicky dish. The prices are a bit steep and was making me consider dropping my rating down a star but fuggit, I like their food. I played it safe and got the mixed grill meats but that's because I lack reading comprehension and thought the main dish (I don't know what it's called, it's just the 1st entree listed) was a baked meat pie situation, it was more grilled steak on a bed of mash potatoes but these mash potatoes were savory like gravy. I wish I got my friend's dish. The mixed grilled meats were a lot closer to doners or skewer meat. Different cuts but also different flavors. What they had in common was a sort of spice-forward sizzling taste. My friend got two appetizers (which I also don't know the name of) but were definitely the most beautifully presented foods I've had in a long while. They were both creams but one had a pepper in it (not the spicy kind). The pepper one was a light refreshing sourness and the other was a heavier but not heeeeavy savory one. Both great to dip your bread in. I wanted to try the lemon cookie for dessert but my friend got us all Tres Leches by accident. That was great but I would say the most non-novel out of everything we got. Delicious, just not something out of the norm-- which is what I go for when I'm trying a new cuisine like Albanian. I wouldn't say this is normal day-to-day Albanian (I have a few friends), it's more like the Americana equivalent, an upscale where Albanians go out to eat.

It was a little hard to hear and converse at times as it gets crowded, but the food was delicious and there are really unique items on the menu. Food: The duck shawarma was one of our favorites! The lamb and scallops were also flavorful and tender. The dips were delicious with the pita, but I wish the serving size for the dips were bigger. The fries were great - well seasoned! Also recommend the milky pudding, it was a nice refreshing way to end the dinner. Service: Our server was super helpful in letting us know what items are more shareable and his suggestions for cocktails. Definitely try some of the arak based cocktails.

We were lead upstairs to a table. There were 7 of us The seating was cozy but not cramped. We started with 7 family style small dishes: Hummus with Falafel Pops (chickpea purée, tahini, falafel, olive oil), Spring Burrata (roasted cherry tomatoes, toast, basil oil), Hamachi Crudo (passionfruit vinaigrette, citrus zest, cucumber, mint, sesame tuile), Scallops (carrot puree, serrano pepper, brown butter sauce), Tenderloin Skewer (zaatar chimichurri, fresh herb salad), and Shiitake Stuffed Grape Leaves (tomato coulis, yogurt foam, herbs). Everything was delicious. The hummus was well seasoned the falafel had a nice crunch. It went well with the warm puffy gyro bread that came to the table. The burrata was wasm and creamy. I love the vinaigrette on the fish. I ended up eating most of it. The scallops were the sweetest, most tender ones I have ever had. The tenderloin skewers were tender and well seasoned. I liked the grape leaves but the rice consistency was very soft almost mushy and you can barely tell there were mushrooms. There was barely any mushrooms flavor. Next we all chose an entree. I got the duck breast, my husband and daughter each had the beef tenderloin. The duck breast was smaller than i expected. The skin was nicely seared and very crispy but boy did it give my jaw a workout. It was done medium rare. It was juicy but tough. The small beef tenderloin was tender and smoky. The waiter poured the sauce over the tenderloin for added flavor. Finally dessert was a fruit plate with ice cream and pudding. The fruit was fresh and the flavors of the ice cream and pudding unique. It was a nice end to a good brunch. The price was a little expensive at $85 a person.
