    falafel classic
    Michael M.

    This place is a new hidden gem, similar layout to Cava or chipotle and very fresh flavors at a reasonable price. Also easy to track macros once you get ounces of meats.

    I'm a Cava girlie at heart but man, Mezeh absolutely slaps. The price is great for what you get and the service is absolutely awesome.

    Salad bowl with all the vegan toppings and falafel. Falafel pita with toppings and hummus.
    Teresa D.

    Excellent! Great service. Very cute ambiance and the food was super yummy. The portions are outstanding. One note to the managers: you should add a legend icon that says VEGAN not just vegetarian. We are vegans and we can have literally almost all of the toppings and a few of the dressings. It might help some dairy-free non- vegans too. All in all a really nice, convenient, "fast-food" spot in Rockaway.

    I've been waiting for this place to open since i saw the sign. Very excited for a different, healthier lunch option in the area. It's very similar concept to the chain Cava, which I also love. I paid less than $13 for my custom bowl. You choose greens, grains, protein, and then unlimited toppings, and there is a lot to choose from. I got a bit of almost everything and it came with a small pita. Everything tasted so fresh and good. I cannot wait to add this to my regular lunch routine.

    As someone who loves a good chicken shawarma, Mezeh hit the mark. Delicious salads, perfectly cooked veggies, and savory sauces. Complimentary pita is also served if you order a bowl. I would highly recommend giving Mezeh a try. The dining area is nice and the staff were friendly. I will definitely be back!

    "Pizzas are an online exclusive" (but aren't available to order online????)

    The first time I had Mezeh was a few days ago when a friend brought it for lunch. It was delicious, which inspired me to bring the kids back for a quick dinner one night. Unfortunately, we saw a Mezeh sign for "pizza" available online, so we spent like twenty minutes attempting to figure out how to order pizza. Apparently it was not possible. I tried every ordering service, creating an account, using their app, etc. very frustrating that they would advertise something that they don't actually offer. I will probably be back when it's just me, because the food was great. But I don't want disappointed children again, so I will avoid it for dinner. Would love to know if and how pizza is available to order?

    COME HUNGRY! I came here to celebrate my brother-in-law's birthday with my husband's family…read morerecently. There were 6 of us and we split the Efsane Family Special for 4 people and added lamb chops thinking we wouldn't have enough food lol the special also came with dessert but my sister-in-law also ordered a rice pudding. The 6 of us could've easily had the family special for 4 without ordering anything else - there was so much food and we had leftovers to take home!! For context, we all eat a LOT so to say we had leftovers is saying a lot! Quantity aside, the food itself was delicious. The bread is served fresh and steaming hot, the dips are delicious and flavorful, meat is seasoned and cooked perfectly (the chicken shish and lamb adana are my favorites), and the bitter black tea and sweet baklava are a perfect way to end the meal. I left there stuffed and so happy! The staff was also very friendly and attentive. I'll definitely be back!

I was very worried that, after the move, I would not be able to find middle eastern food that would compare. However, I was wrong, and Esfane definitely satisfied my craving! I was in the mood for a light lunch, so I ordered the Shepard's Salad, the Baba Ghannouj, and the Lentil Soup. The Baba Ghannouj was excellent and came with lots of pita bread. It could've been a little smokier for my taste, but overall I got a huge serving and it was very creamy and flavorful. The Sheppard's salad was similarly huge and delicious. The lentil soup tasted home-made and was so comforting to dip all of my extra bread in. At the end of lunch, I was also served some complimentary tea, which definiitely was the icing on the cake to this exceptional experience. Overall, I was extremely satisfied by the quality of the food, but also by the amount. The service was similarly excellent. My water was constantly filled and the waiters checked on me numerous times to ensure everything was going well. The decorations inside were also exceptional, and the restaurant definitely gives high-class date night vibes. I could totally see coming back for a date night with my husband. I think the only downside is that I didn't find the food to be QUITE as good as some Paterson joints like Al Basha, and the price felt like it was 1.5x-2x as much. Probably worth it though, because this has got to be one of the better restaurants around in Flanders.

For the price and flavor it was so worth it. I got two meals out of mine. I got the gyro platter and it probably was one of the tastiest meals I've had in a long time. I thought the chicken was seasoned and flavorful. But by far, the best part was the white sauce. I would pair it with the mango lassi and it was such a great explosion of flavors - both savory and sweet. I will say they ask whether you're okay with onions and raisins in your platter. I liked them but I know raisins might not be what most people prefer to add to their rice. Service was fast. You can either order at the front table or at your seat. They got the food in a reasonable amount of time. The place looks small from the outside, but when you walk in, there's a back room worth of 30 people worth of seating. It's extremely cozy inside. There's also a parking lot right next to the restaurant and also across the street. The lot right next door is kinda small though, so you might need to loop around. Parking shouldn't be a problem and you can get a really good stop if you're lucky.

We came here to celebrate my husband's 52nd birthday, and the experience did not disappoint. I had called ahead and was pleased that they allowed me to bring a custom cake. I also appreciated the simple yet elegant touches, like the beautifully folded table napkins and a selection of champagne options (bonus points!) Starting off, the grilled octopus with capers, onions, and red peppers was the best I've ever had--simply amazing. It was light, fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. This is an absolute must-order appetizer. For my entrée, I ordered the Diver scallops with grilled asparagus risotto, crab meat, and crispy prosciutto. It was very good--rich, flavorful, and beautifully presented. My husband chose the Halibut with grilled asparagus and butternut squash risotto, and he enjoyed every bite as well. To top off the evening, the staff came out to sing happy birthday, which added another nice touch to the night. The service, ambiance, and food all came together to create an exceptional experience.

If you don't want your entrées coming out with the appetizers, just give them a heads up, because the kitchen moves fast here. We started with the mushroom dish and a hearty soup...both full of flavor and the perfect start to the meal. Then came the star of the night: the lamb chops. Perfectly seasoned, cooked just right, and melt-in-your-mouth good. Everything we tried was fresh and satisfying, the kind of food that makes you want to go back the next day. The service was on point- Friendly and attentive, and the whole space has this quirky, cozy feel, like you're sitting in your grandma's living room with its mix of chairs and warm, homey vibe. It's also BYOB, which is always a win. We brought a bottle of wine that paired perfectly with the meal. Overall, Butcher's Grill is a must-visit if you're in the area. Great food, quick service, and a cozy atmosphere that makes it stand out. Can't wait to come back!

Food: I ended up ordering a chicken platter with rice, peppers, pita, hot sauce, and white sauce. It was my first time having the Afghani style which included carrots and raisins, which was a really nice addition to the foods. This hit multiple flavor profiles and did not feel heavy at all, probably one of the better platters I have ever had tbh. I also really enjoyed the white sauce and found out that they sell them in bottles which I might use when I cook my own halal platters at home. Aesthetic: 6-8 tables with a nice ordering area. Located just off of Route 10 and Salem Street which makes it easily accessible for many. Service: both people that helped me were so kind it makes me want to go back there again just for how nice they were.
