    mezeh classic (over romaine)
    Elise N.

    Fast service, large portions. Bowl came with a pita on the side. The bowl had fresh ingredients, the only thing I didnt like was the pita because it was kind of gummy like it had gotten steamed a little bit. It's a good healthy meal if you're out and about and want something more than a salad without going to a sit down restaurant.

    Food was delicious! Fresh too. First time here I was on my way to McDonald's and decided to make a healthy choice instead and turned in here. I'm glad I made the right choice. It's not my French fries and burger but it did satisfy my hunger and taste buds !!!

    We love coming in for a filling and healthy (ish) meal. They pack your bowl way more if you order in person rather than ordering online and picking up. My favorite topping is the roasted eggplant. They have mild and spicy options so there is something for everyone. Lots of vegetarian options too!

    I have this friend, we both love Cava. He also loves mezeh. He told me to try Mezeh and said I might even like it more than Cava. I have tried it twice and it is a no for me. Food does look good and fresh but the taste just wasn't for me. I went back for a second time and still no. And both times, I tried talking to the servers for recommendations since am new to mezeh but they seem to be annoyed, didn't wanna talk and was rushing me. Maybe if I had gotten nicer servers, my experience would have been different, I don't know. But anyways I thought the restaurant looks nice and clean. I love Mediterranean food so I will give it another try. Maybe I am not ordering the right things because I see a lot of people like it.

    So delicious and fresh! The portions are generous, and I really enjoyed this bowl to go. I'll definitely be coming back

    I had just arrived on a plane from St Louis MO & was looking for a spot near my hotel for a quick healthy lunch. When I stumbled on Mezeh, I knew immediately it would be Mediterranean food, so I was eager to try it. I was immediately met with a casual but intentional interior decor that resembles a middle eastern Souk (market)! The music also assists in the vibe! The restaurant is counter-service much in the style of a Chipotle; you first choose bowl or wrap (or pita!), then your greens, rice, meat, and unlimited freshly prepared salads & vegetables, including mainstays such as Tabbouli, Baba Ganoush, hummus, roasted peppers, marinated kalamata olives, shredded beets, Israeli couscous, AND MORE! Some of the offerings are prepared hot & spicy, which I like, and Omar serving me was very clear in the explanation. My meal came with a pita pocket, 2 dressings, & I added a fountain tea. The entire presentation was so beautiful & appetizing! And it was delicious. So good I may return for dinner...or maybe lunch tomorrow! I am hoping to see this format near me in the Midwest, soon. Thank you for making Lebanese/Mediterranean so accessible to the public in this creative way.

    I've recently started following the Mediterranean Diet so I treat myself to this place twice a week. Omg it is so yummy and there's zero guilt. The food is always so fresh and you can all whatever you want to your salad or pita. The harissa sauce is out of this world. I always make sure to get extra.

    Stopped by for the first time Tosh. Very impressed with the selection. Fresh ingredients, service as fast. Great spot for a quick healthy lunch

    Mixed greens, harissa sauce, etc.

    My wife and I have been to Mezeh Mediterranean Grill about half a dozen times since it opened. We love the food here because everything is cooked onsite and it's fresh. The food packs a punch of flavor and everything is Halal which is similar to Kosher. Mediterranean style food isn't widely available so it's nice that this place is nestled right here in Midlothian. For people unfamiliar, this place is the Mediterranean version of Chipotle. It's all mix-and-match from whatever stuff you choose. I'm a kale man myself, and I usually stick to the lamb kefta or the shredded lamb. Be warned this food packs a punch, if you can't handle spice, steer clear of several things (lamb kefta, steak shawarma, s'hug dip, harissa sauce, and the crunchy chickpeas). The staff are super nice so just ask and they'll be more than happy to answer. Every experience I've had here has been great!

    I would normally rate this higher but today's service was off. The young lady on the serving line was not very friendly. They only had one menu card and there was nothing on the glass to indicate what the options were. We were the only two i line but she seemed impatient and rushed. The chicken serving size was very small also. I understand there were online orders to be made also, however, your walk in customers are face to face so being a tad pleasant can make the experience. While my bowl was still good, I wish I would have gone to Cava today.

    Veggie kefta, rice, turkish salad, cucumbers, pickled onions, spicy hummus, harissa.

If they aren't part of the decor, it was a treat nonetheless. We stepped inside from the rain with a parking spot very near the door. I snapped a pic on the way in to capture it's essence. We risked another walk-in with no reservations, and we snagged two prime end seats on the communal table. There were two open seats at the bar as well; might come in handy some other rainy Thursday night. The server, Murphy M., judging by the receipt, who helped my partner and I with our order, was a gracious host and incredibly well-practiced. It was a master class in serving, made effortless by him. He could not have been more accommodating, as we saw him appear inevitably at the exact right moments. Our server offered us bread and oil before the appetizer. The bread here is made fresh daily. It was so soft, I could not tell the difference from store bought. The food was exquisitely well prepared, the chefs and kitchen staff are immensely skilled. The appetizer was presented to us within a relatively short amount of time. We had time for a short discussion before the it arrived. The Tiropita was described as "four pieces of heaven." Accurate. The phyllo was thin and crisp, and the feta was creamy and delicious. I was careful not to bite too hard and ruin my pants. I had the Kotopoulo, which is a feta-brined oven-baked chicken with lemon and herbs served with lemon potatoes. The dish was cooked to perfection. The cooked potatoes were exactly as I like them, soft yet held their shape. It was an excellent meal, if a bit unwieldy (it's like half a rotisserie chicken, basically). My partner had the Hilopites, an egg noodle dish with giant beans, pine nuts, kalamata olives, cherry tomatoes, and feta, in a creamy, savory sauce that I couldn't begin to describe with mere words. The meals were both stunning, made unclear by my disastrous photography. All that being said, I did not really enjoy my meal as I was expecting. Maybe it's me, maybe it's today, or maybe the flavors simply weren't what I am accustomed to with the dozens of Greek restaurants from my past. I'm uncertain, and that's okay sometimes. Either way, it was a fantastic experience, and I will dine here again.

While I had visited Uliveto once during its opening, after tonight, I can confidently say it won't be my last visit! The Uliveto Paloma cocktail was a delightful and refreshing surprise. Every dish, from the bread to the pasta, was simply exquisite. For appetizers, we savored the bruschetta, which featured the freshest, most flavorful tomatoes; the calamari, which was nothing short of fantastic; and the crab fingers, which I didn't sample myself but my friends couldn't stop raving about (as you can see in the photo!). For our main courses, we indulged in the Limone Pasta, the Amatriciana Pasta, and a steak served with mashed potatoes that was absolutely divine. None of us managed to finish our entrees, and we were too full for dessert. However, here's a tip for your next visit: consider ordering 2-3 appetizers, share a main dish, and definitely save room for dessert!
