    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.

    Lemon garlic kebab grain bowl with undercooked chicken.

    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.

    Very bad falafel salad, cold dry falafels, like they'd all been made in a big batch hours earlier.

    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.

    Monkey Bar became one of my favorite Midtown restaurants because its modern history ran almost…read moreperfectly alongside my years in New York. I arrived in 2008 with very little, and when Graydon Carter revived the restaurant in 2009, I was beginning a rise of my own, first at a large global bank and then, to my astonishment, at one of the city's most powerful investment firms. The suits were daily, the walls were gold, and the pressure was so consuming that even success could feel like a form of attrition. After a few years, I moved to a smaller firm with Southern roots, where the culture was more humane, the work gave me greater autonomy, and I produced some of the strongest results of my career, even within an industry still governed by fear, greed, and status. Inside, the red booths, low lighting, generous spacing, and hand-painted monkey murals made lunch feel ceremonial without becoming stiff. The room was timeless and handsome, with polished service, quality food, and the subtle assurance of a place where you could be proud to bring someone important. I especially remember sitting in one of those booths with two mentors, each only a few years older than I was and therefore close enough in vintage to feel relatable, trustworthy, and genuinely within reach. One had entered my life after I left the larger firm and helped me understand an earlier chapter that had also ended abruptly and, at the time, felt deeply unfair; the other had guided me through the smaller firm where I finally found a more sustainable way to work. Over that long lunch, I introduced them, we discussed several promising ideas, and for a moment my career seemed to have reached the point where relationships, experience, and opportunity were finally converging. One of those ideas consumed an extraordinary amount of my time and energy, and I believed it might become the foundation of my next chapter. Instead, the arrangement eventually turned on me, the role I thought I had earned never materialized, and the business itself sputtered. My professional life, financial footing, and pride all collapsed just as COVID was beginning. Then Monkey Bar closed in 2020, which made the ending feel almost unnervingly complete: the restaurant, the city, and the version of myself built around New York finance all went dark at once. For years, I experienced that ending as devastating and unfair; now I can see it as wisdom delivered through an unnecessarily rough process. The restaurant's later revival by a Chicago hospitality group feels fitting because it still honors tradition and ceremony while allowing the old forms to evolve into something healthier, looser, and more current. I have not been back since that lunch, but a return now would feel like visiting the museum of my past, not reclaiming a life that asked too much, gave too little, and finally lost its hold on me. Even now, I remember Monkey Bar as a great Midtown lunch in a memorable room, surrounded by the residue of old ambitions and the gratitude of having survived them. The cocktails were sharp, the service was impeccable, and the dining room carried that glamorous old New York energy without feeling trapped by it. I remain deeply fond of the place, partly for what it was and partly for what it witnessed. Some restaurants become attached to a chapter of your life, and Monkey Bar holds mine with unusual grace.

    The truffle monkey bread while a total carb and calorie bomb was delicious and left a lasting…read moreimpression. It featured a crispy, sugar-glazed exterior and a soft, chewy interior, topped with truffle cheese and served with a truffle butter dip; the pairing was superb, and it tasted great both on its own and with the dip. For the main course, I ordered the miso-glazed black cod. The flavor was flawless, and while the portion was small (which was acceptable), the pool of broth accompanying it was completely unnecessary; it was inedibly salty, so what was the point of serving it? After finishing the fish, I was left with a plate full of broth, rendering the plate unusable. Plus, it was overpriced; for this dish, you're better off going to Strip House Strip House remains the undisputed king of this dish in New York. A friend ordered the chicken parmesan. It was just average. Another friend ordered the short rib stroganoff. The flavor was decent, but it was far too rich and heavy. As someone whose palate is split 50/50 between Western and Chinese cuisine, I could manage only five bites at most. If you have a palate that prefers 100% Chinese food, proceed with caution on this dish. Friends ordered sides of mac & cheese and mashed potatoes. These are dishes originally meant for low-income Americans to fill up on cheaply; there's no limit to how good they can be, but also no floor to how bad they can get. Both were on par with the average quality found in upscale restaurants. Honestly, these are two dishes I would never order myself. To sum up: the atmosphere was great. It's also hard to get a reservation; the place was packed when we had lunch at 2 PM. Aside from that monkey bread, I didn't feel like anything else justified the price or offered something you couldn't find elsewhere. I don't quite get the hype. Perhaps I just didn't order the right dishes; maybe next time I'll try the burger and the steak.
