    I ordered a make your own bowl with a chicken kebab. See what was delivered in the photo. Called the restaurant to try to figure out how to get an actual kebab and was stonewalled by their AI I was so hungry, hadn't eaten all day so this happening really irritates me. It isn't that hard to make sure an actual chicken kabob is on a bowl. You had one job, make a sufficient meal. You failed. I am now hangry. Thanks for that (sarcasm intended).

    Best Bowls in our area. Mezeh has the most variety of stuff going in the bowl. They have 4 types of salads to start out with if you choose. They have 2 different grains. I love the Basmati. It is fresh and flavorful. The choice of protein is hard to choose all of them are great Even the veggie and you can get a 1/2 and 1/2. I do love the chicken shawarma. Oh and then all the toppings. They have the most toppings I have seen . I love spicy so I start out with the spicy hummus and get the beet yogurt. Then we choose different ones every time after that. For the sauce Our favorite combo is Tzatziki and Harissa sauce with a few crunchy toppings. We also choose different ones of those too. The great part is you build your own bowl . So just choose things you like. The drink area has little cups so you can sample. They also have bottled drinks. Clean and beautiful restaurant. I love the colored glass lights. It creates such a good feeling. They have a variety of seating. We love sitting at the high top table. IT is an unusual shape. Like a piece of art

    Good spot for a med-style build-a-bowl. Several base options (basmati rice + mixed greens were tasty) and LOTS of toppings. You get to pick 10- they were all pretty tasty. Particularly loved the spicy feta dip, baba ganoush, sumac cukes, and pickled beets. Falafel was also tasty- I think I liked this better than the veg kefta. I think they might have missed the spicy hummus and beet dip in my bowl, but to be fair, the bowl was packed to the lid and there really wasn't room for more. Harissa and lemon garlic sauces were both tasty. The pita, tho, was pretty terrible. The bowl comes with a half piece of pita and I ordered an extra on the side- both were brittle, dry, and breaking a part- definitely past their prime. I ordered via Uber Eats and it came without utentils or napkins, so be sure to ask if you are ordering delivery. And the pelegrino comes in a glass bottle and requires a bottle opener, so keep that it mind if you are in a hotel without kitchen supplies. :-) Hoping that they have fresh bread other days bc I'd def order again for a healthy, filling dinner.

    Great location just outside of mall entrance by LL Bean. Quick service, delicious and fresh! If you have never been, download the app and save $5 on first meal experience as well! Plenty of variety to choose from to suit your tastes.

    Store located right next to L.L. Bean

    First time I tried Mezeh was in Richmond. I absolutely loved it. The only downside was that there were none in Virginia Beach. The closest one to me was in Chesapeake. I drove there a few times but it's just out of the way for me. Last year I signed up for the grand opening of one in Virginia Beach. I was so excited until a year went by and I thought they had changed their minds. This morning as I was going threw my emails I finally got what I waited 16 months for. An invitation to join them for their opening today. I'm sitting here stuffing my face and thinking of my next visit. If you are near lynnhaven mall today, stop by and check them out. They are offering a free bowl with the purchase of a drink until 8:30pm. You will not regret it.

    My new #1 spot in Virginia Beach for shawarma!! I love shawarma but typically I drive to Norfolk for it, so needless to say when I saw this place yesterday I had to try it!! The store itself I love because of its simplicity. Very European in it's design. I like the open concept ceiling and I especially love the outdoor seating. The store is very clean and well lit and the choice of decor is perfect. The store was insanely busy as it was opening day and they were giving away free bowls with every drink purchase. Even though they were super busy, the store was incredibly clean. I got the chicken shawarma bowl and my husband got the steak shawarma bowl. The chicken is seasoned beautifully. It does have some spice to it. I can't really do spicy but I could eat this and I would order this again. Typically I put a white garlic sauce on my shawarma. They have one that's a lemon garlic that is delicious! The Turkish salad that I put on my shawarma was delicious as well! I did try the steak shawarma it was cooked well nice and tender and the seasoning was on point! The only thing I can't give a raving review about that I tried was the pita. The pita I received was flat and cold. The extra one I ordered was warm but still pretty flat. It would like it if it was a little poofier so that way you could stuff it easier with the shawarma rice and all the fillings. One other thing I would like to note to anyone that has never had their juices before. There will be little black seeds in the bottom of your cup. That is okay. It is just because they're using real fruit!! The staff is super friendly and ready to help and answer any questions!! I will absolutely return to this place to try out a few more things on the menu!! This is my new go to one. I'm craving all things falafel or shawarma!

    I was really looking forward to try this place and I am happy I did. The food was amazing, such a wonderful explosion if flavors. The atmosphere was nice and relaxing and staff was very friendly. We told them it was our first time trying this place and they took their time to explain the menu.

    Oh my goodness! This place is a great find! The customer service is amazing; so friendly, kind and helpful. They helped recommend what to put in my bowl and it turned out fantastic, also so whole and delicious. I am amazed and would definitely return. The restaurant is beautiful, clean and wonderfully styled and the selection of house drinks is plentiful and delicious. I recommend the berry watermelon flavored one! Highly recommend this place :)

    Amazing food honestly. The portions are huge for the bowls. They have a ton of veggie options and premium meats too. Fresh teas and juices. Everything is made fresh. There's even a little outdoor patio we brought our dog to. My husband literally got a little bit of everything and was so happy! Service is friendly too. I know it's a chain but it's just really well done.

    5 STARS -- A Standout Mediterranean Street Food Gem in Virginia Beach…read more My experiences with Mr. Sharma go back to their original Norfolk location, where I first met their personable owner, Avi and partner Tal. Both are incredibly skilled at what they do. Their passion for Mediterranean street food shows in every detail of the operation. I've now visited the new Beach location on Laskin Road several times, and each visit reinforces just how impressive this business is. Last year, Avi even gave me a tour of the back of the house. It's state-of-the-art--spotless stainless steel everywhere, top-tier equipment, and a layout that shows real thought and pride in the craft. Parking when busy can offer challenges, but I had no issue. They offer a clean dining room to enjoy your food inside, or on a nice day alfresco on their patio. Customers self bus their tables. On my most recent visit, I ordered Avi's favorite dish, the chicken shawarma in a pita pocket. Outstanding--easily one of the best versions I've had that's loaded with humus, slaw, fries and their in-house sauces. I also met the general manager, Melissa, who was warm, friendly, and clearly invested in maintaining the high standards of freshness that make this place shine. She mentioned that Avi is back in Israel but still travels often, which tracks with the care and consistency the team maintains. I also had samples of their amazing falafel and egg plant which is like candy...yum! The Virginia Beach restaurant itself is clean, bright, and incredibly well put-together. A detail most people will miss, but shouldn't--is the noise-reducing ceiling panels. It's the kind of thoughtful touch that tells you the owners think about every part of the customer experience. Mr. Sharma is one of the most overlooked fast-casual restaurants in Virginia Beach, and frankly, it shouldn't be. This is a long overdue review and it's an easy five stars from me. If you haven't visited their new Laskin Road location yet, you're missing out. Mr. Shawarma holds a special place in my heart and cannot recommend enough.

Unfortunately, the shawarmas were extremely disappointing. What was served did not resemble shawarma at all. Each plate seemed to consist of a large amount of lettuce, only a few small pieces of chicken, and a few grilled tomato halves. None of the 10 people in our group--including the children--enjoyed it. Everyone was surprised that this dish was being called shawarma. I also ordered an iced tea, but what I received tasted more like lemonade and did not seem to be iced tea at all. To make matters worse, our bill came to $626. Based on the quality and quantity of the food we received, I believe the meal was worth no more than $200. Another concern was that alcohol was being served on the premises, which may be important information for customers looking specifically for halal dining options. Overall, this was a very disappointing experience. While the lamb chops were excellent, the rest of the meal and the value for the price fell far below expectations. I would not return or recommend this restaurant based on this visit.

The restaurant wasn't completely full but that soon changed with several families coming in right after us. The restaurant is on the smaller side, clean and decorated well. We went on a Saturday night and ordered off of their special weekend menu. We definitely over ordered. There were 3 of us and we had enough leftovers for a full meal the next day. We ordered the masala cheese dosai, butter chicken, nalli gosht biryani and malai lamb chops. The nalli gosht is the goat shank biryani, we got the order for 2 people, it comes with 2 goat shanks on a mountain of fluffy fragrant basmati rice. The goat was tender falling off the bone, seasoned to perfection in a spicy masala paste/sauce. We got it at level one spice but it tasted spicer. We didn't mind because the spice just added to the flavor. It was so good! We also got the usual butter chicken which turned out to be not so usual because like everything else we tried, the spice combo and depth of flavor just turned it up several notches. The masala cheese dosai was a great start to the meal and was fun to eat with our hands. The lamb chops were a last minute addition and so worth it. The chops were cooked perfectly in a flavorful sauce and served with a veggie slaw. Overall, we LOVED everything we tried and would definitely recommend Biryani Hub. The only suggestion we have would be to serve cold water or offer ice. Our waiter brought a bottle of water to the table with glasses but the water was more room temp. Other than that, it was a great experience.
