The food looks absolutely delicious and everyone was nice. I haven't had a chance to eat yet, but it smells and looks ravishing. I would totally recommend, it's worth it to come here. Would take this over steak or bbq any day. Thank you for the food. read more

We tried to call, the menu looked great and we were very excited about trying it. Unfortunately the phone rang and rang and rang and rang. No answer. Tried three times. Hard to try the food when you can't order. Maybe next time. read more

Solid food. But it could do alot better. I came in on a slow saturday. I was the only one here. The chef/cashier was nice and welcoming to his establishment. Considering I was the only one, my food took five minutes to come out. The first thing I notcied was the pita bread is not the best. Its not bad, but texture wise, its not fresh and fluffy like other establishments near by. The shredded lettuce came out kind of odd texture wise with the hot meat. The beef was moist, but it didnt have much flavor. Their was a spice that he used that was the main flavor. So much that it distracts from everything else. The fries were not special, but they were made fresh and their texture was enjoyable. I would much rather eat here anyday over the nearby Subway or Pizza Hut. But compared to places like Al-Bilad and Milk and Honey, the shwarmas could be better. read more

This spot it definitely eye-catching! When we first walked in there were a bunch of centerpiece that caught my eye. Mostly the chandeliers though. They were gorgeous! There wasn't anyone in there that could seat us right away but shortly after a couple minutes someone did come. The server was nice and friendly and got us drinks right away. I got the Chicken Shawarma Plate and my boyfriend got the Kofta Kabob plate. I wish when I did ask for a special instruction on my rice side dish, but she proceeded to tell me they had other side dishes to choose from. I didn't like that part, but we just thought maybe she didn't understand what we were asking. We really enjoyed the music and atmosphere! The dishes were appealing to the eye and tasted great too ! Definitely will come back to try more of this delicious authentic food ! Thank you for the hospitality ! read more

Came to this plaza looking for a schwarma and was lucky that this place was open. I ordered a chicken and lamb schwarma and two baklawa togo. The owner (or seemed to be the owner) was friendly and greeted me and took my order. He had mentioned that they just opened recently. The place seems in good shape and somewhat new. I did like that you can see all the way to the end of the kitchen. It seemed like it was in good shape as well and there weren't visible stains on the wall. I eventually got my order quickly as there wasn't really anyone there. Their menu is rather diverse. It was a mixture between american food and mediterranean food. They offer from chicken fingers to chicken schwarmas to to beef liver sandwich. They even offer a sandwich called viagra. I'm not really sure what that is. I really don't need that or was curious about inquiring. I got my order and took off. Once i got home i discovered that my sandwich came with fries. The schwarmas were perfectly rolled in a nice soft pita. The sandwich has a nice sauce that makes the meat shine. My lamb was slightly chewy and was decently seasoned. It was cooked to a medium. Inside was lettuce some kind of schwarma sauce. My girlfriend had the chicken schwarma and has more of an authentic middle-eastern tongue. She said the food was not as authentic as some of its neighboring counterparts and said it was just ok. The baklava that we ordered was a traditional small diamond shape. I took a bite and it was sweet and crunchy. Observing the layers you can notice that they looked like they took some shortcuts in making it and there were some flaws in the layers. It looked more like three larger layers and the bottom of it started to fall off. Which it's not suppose to do. A little disappointing. Overall, the place is not too bad. I hope that they have some good luck with their opening and that they take my advice and remove a lot of their american items from the menu and work on improving their mediterranean food. read more

Mezza Cafe - Best medit food in town! - Middle Eastern Near Me - Richardson, Texas

I get the beef or chicken shawarma lunch special when I go, its $7.49 with for the wrap, fries and drink.The meat is always succulent and tasty, the beef can be a little tough at times but hey this ain't McD's it usually varies at all non chains. The fries have a fine dusting of a red spice (I'm guessing paprika) which is a nice touch. The wrap is served in a warmed up pita which is nice, since some place just slap all the ingredients into a cold pita. read more

If you are looking for a freshly cooked late night food, this is a must go place. We had our first visit after watching a late night movie and ordered Falafel platter and Chicken Shawarma. The platter came with hummus and tasted too good. Next came the Chicken Shawarma that was awesome. The fries tasted little different (salt+spice) but it was not bad at all. I'm getting addicted to their Chicken Shawarma. The chicken was neatly cut and nicely cooked. We ended with a dessert, Tiramisu that melted so quickly. Good ambiance, no complaints on anything. read more

Absolutely delightful ! I go here a couple of times every month and mostly try their Shish Tawook which comes with 2 skewers of finely cut chicken accompanied with Rice, Salads and one mouth watering Garlic dip which adds to the fun of your taste buds. It is very clean and they seem to have worked very well in their furnitures esp with tables representing Tutankhamun to create a perfect Egyptian dining experience. read more

The interior is small business standard, that is to say, it's got tile floor throughout and some generic looking tables around. There's some colorful looking baubles hanging from the ceiling. The walls are textured with orange paint. The service is awful to nonexistant. The food was decent. I got a chicken shwarma roll thing. The chicken was tender and had flavor. The fries that came with it were a surprise. I wasn't expecting delicious, seasoned fries from a middle eastern restaurant, but they were pretty darn good. The drink comes in a can though. read more

I've tried literally everything on the menu and you simply just can't go wrong! Come here for great food and great service!

Not the best place. The tables are dirty. Service is slow. When we asked for water, they brought us bottled water instead of ice water in a cup. read more

The food here is so good! Great service! I tried the hummus and chicken kebabs! Can't wait to come back!

Salad was done alright. Rice was ok. Meat were cooked great. Baba ganoush and the bread was so fresh. French fries were home made. Delicious~. It is also very convient for opening up so late and still maintaining quality. Also gotta say that the staff was awesome. I might just come for the baba ganoush and bread read more

Came to mezza for lunch at 11am and the place was not open. after about 8 minutes, a mexican lady showed up to work , we waited at least 45 minutes for the falafel sandwich and the shawarma. the falafel patties were cold and hard and do not taste fresh, maybe couple days old , and the shawarma was ok .(shawarma at Afrah taste much better), the baklawa was loaded with syrop and soggy ..i like the decor but not the food ii will not bw back the plase was empty when we left , i wonder why........... read more

I stop by at a sunday night to this place and surprisingly it was open. Its a very small spot that smells like hookah and there was only one person attending the restaurant but that did not stop it to provide greaf customer service. I ordered a chicken hummus shawarma sandwich with a drink and a side of fries. The chicken was well done , hummus was creamy and the pita was warm and fresh. The fries not as salty as some places make them , cooked to the point. So guys if you are craving a mediterranean snak at night : Mezza cafe is the place to go! I will be back! read more

Amazing food. Decent service. Love the chicken shawarma plate and their kebab platter is just the best. Not that expensive. Open late in the night so when your hungry and need a filling meal this is the place to go. read more

I decided I wanted to try some shawarma after watching Ironman. Robert Downy Junior said something about shawarma so I wanted to check it out. I found Mezza Cafe which is a Mediterranean cafe in Richardson. They offer authentic Mediterranean food, middle eastern dishes, and what not. I tried the chicken shawarma and OH MY GOD - was it good! I have gone back twice since then getting the same thing again. The owner was there and asked me if I have ever tried Baclava. I said no, and he gave me one free on the house. I tried it and MAN OH MAN - that was some good stuff! Last weekend I went back and he said I should try something new - so I ordered the beef kofta sandwich - which is really a wrap, and it was the freakin bomb. I never new how good middle eastern food was! Mediterranean, middle eastern, what ever you want to call it - this place has some good stuff. Definitely give them a try if you are in the area - and be sure to get some Baclava - you will be glad you did. read more
