Always the best food and exceptional customer service. For many years, it has and continues to be our "go-to" restaurant for date nights, hanging out with friends and family, and hosting out-of-town friends. Everything on the menu is fantastic, and I've got goo goo eyes for the lamb shank, the pecan crusted salmon, and the Mezza salad. Yum! Wish I could give 10 stars. read more

Mango Chicken FTW! We tries their appetizer trio and it was good. The red pepper dip was the clear favorite. Their falafels were crispy and full of flavor. If you get a wrap, please do not as for the sauce on the side but let the chef do his job. The best of all is the mango chicken and I will go there again just to get this! read more

I came here with a friend on a Friday night and got seated quickly. The server was good and friendly. They have chips with olive oil and herbs as complimentary...and it's addicting. Crab cake (5/5) - two big pieces and it was flavorful with a small spicy kick to it. Just right:) Stuffed mango chicken (5/5) - this chicken was on point! It's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The stuffing was flavorful and that mango just take it to the next level. I can't wait to come back:) read more

This little gem is hidden in a strip mall and I was happy to stumble upon it. I was in the area and Yelped good dinner places and decided to try it out. I asked for the special and it was cornish hen with some oven baked/fried potatoes and fresh vegetable. While it took a while to come out to the table, the taste was phenomenal. It was one of those experiences where your mouth thinks you're in a plush 5 star restaurant, but sitting in a diner type booth. The interior is clean and all, but not was fancy. Thoroughly impressed withe the flavor, the price was a little expensive. If you're in the mood for something Mediterranean and different, come check it out and be sure to ask for the specials! read more

On the way out of town - wanted to catch a good place nearby - the reviews looked solid enough. So in we came! Nice open feel to the restaurant. Good color scheme, nice lines. Maybe a couple of things to break up the space a little would be good. But they are on the right track. The gratis appetizer - a kind of seasoned pita chip with an oil/"Zata" dipping thing going on - those were so tasty and I really could have just made a meal out of that. The Yelp! Reviewers were saying a lot of good things about the Mango Chicken so I followed the crowd - and I am SO glad. What a wonderful meal it was! The chicken breast was tender but had this golden brown crust that was cooked just right. Terrific flavor. The inside was filled with a vegetable based stuffing and the whole thing was drizzled with bits of mango and a mango sauce that added just the right amount of sweetness. The flavors were so well balanced all the way throughout. Just wonderfully done! Accompanying the chicken were some scalloped potatoes and roasted veggies - carrots and zucchini - which were perfectly cooked and judiciously seasoned. The portion sizes for me and my friends - all of them were very generous so you're definitely getting your money's worth here! Great spot. Would love to come back one day! read more

This place was pleasant and clean. The food and drinks were adventure in fantastic flavor! We got the mixed grill ( don't miss the chicken) and the spicy chipotle pasta sauce packs a punch but only in the very best way! Service was great. One star down due to restroom wasn't as clean as expected. read more

Such a hidden gem, love this place! I was torn between the Mango Stuffed Chicken & the Spicy Chipotle Seafood Pasta. The waitress informed me that the mango stuffed chicken takes awhile to cook, so I went with the pasta and it was a win! They didn't skimp on the shrimp nor crab...and wasn't too spicy. The drinks were on point; I had a mule! The atmosphere was perfect, spacious, and chill & the staff was attentive! I'll definitely be back read more

I came for dinner and was excited to try since the chicken dishes look so good in the pictures. the appetizer was delicious, and my friends and I couldn't stop eating. I am not sure what it's call but it's tasty. I ordered the chicken kabob plate, and I asked to try the lemon butter sauce so the waitress got a small portion for me as well. I thought the chicken kabobs were very sweet even with the garlic sauce. I'm not a fan of sweet chicken, but the kabos were moist. However, it goes very well with the lemon butter. I think they should definitely try lemon butter kabobs as it would be really good. The rice was ok, not anything too special. As for the restaurant and service, it was a classy and nice restaurant. Our waitress did a good job. read more

This meal was SOOO GOOD. I had the spicy seafood pasta. the portion was well worth the cost. The flavors were wonderful, not too salty. If you don't like spice however I would suggest something different, it was spicy but nothing overwhelming. I will definitely be back. It also came with two tasty pieces of garlic bread. The seafood portion was also a solid amount, it could've been a bit more crab on top but for the most part amazing! read more

First time I ever came here was for NYE one year with my boyfriend and group of friends. Everything was great.

One of my go to places if I want delicious food and the opportunity to have conversation with the people at my table. The chicken skewers are fabulous and don't miss out on the dipping sauce! Love, love, love the red pepper dip. The crispy pita chips that are brought to the table as, a nibble, are over the top fabulous! read more

Came for lunch and was not disappointed. Excellent service from the start and ordered the chicken schwarma without the tortilla (as a salad) and spicy style. It was excellent! The menu looked very extensive and there are several other options that I wi need to return and try! read more

As a native Houstonian, I'm wondering how I didn't know about this gem sooner!! I think it's because it's tucked into the shopping center. For those like me, it's in the same shopping strip as The Palm. We came to celebrate my niece's birthday. They are open and accommodating during Covid 19. Cleanliness, disposable menus, servers wearing masks, the whole protocol. The ambiance is calm, cozy, with nice dim lighting great for a date night. Now for the food. OMG. I ordered the pecan crusted salmon, served with wild mushroom risotto and grilled vegetables. It was wonderful! Generous Texas sized portion and cooked to perfection. We will definitely be coming back! read more

Omg, delicious and server so kind. Tomato Basil Soup delicious damn it! I'm not posting any more

Great service and great food! I've tried just about everything on this menu and you can't go wrong with much. My favorite thing is their scalloped potatoes, they taste like heaven!!! read more

What a quaint place. I love the choice of music tonight. I think i will come back for their Valentines package. A drink and two meals were $50 plus tip. This is not so bad. The waiter is super attentive and punctual. The $10 drink for pineapple rum is not exorbitant and unheard of; however it needs a bit more authenticity then just rum and juice. The spicy lamb and rice dish is well spiced and cooked. I like it. I hope they offer more choices in term of spiciness for the dish. The crushed parmesan chicken pastas is also good. Well cooked and the chicken breast is not chewy or stale like quick-thaw precooked one. Overall, tonight is a very pleasant experience dinner. read more

Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! I walked in and set at the bar. The place is decorated try nicely. I would expect it because this place is located in a shopping plaza. There is plenty of parking available. The happy hour is daily from 3pm-6pm in the bar, lounge, and patio. The bartender was very friendly and checked on me frequently. The played really trendy alternative music. I would recommend this place for lunch, dinner, or happy hour. I will be back very soon. You will not be disappointed. read more

Mezza is my favorite Houston hidden gem. It somehow provides affordable options without compromising on the quality of the meals or service. I believe this restaurant is family owned and you can feel the warmth that comes with that upon setting foot in the restaurant. The only problem I come across is picking a dish. Some of my favorites include the filet chunks, the lamb chops, the stuffed chicken, the shwarma, and the pastas. There is also a full service bar on the side of the restaurant. The dessert menu changes from time to time but there's a reason the bread pudding and tres leches consistently stay on the menu (they're both amazing). My favorite part is that you can enjoy a pot of tea with your dessert. read more

Nothing to do on a Sunday afternoon? Let's have dinner and cocktails! I'm not sure if I'm the only person who has this logic but if you don't you probably should. My friend and I stopped by Mezza Grill and I must say this place is definitely a hidden gem. Let's not waste any time, here are my thoughts on Mezza Grille and Restaurant. Food They had a little bit of everything -- seafood, pasta, sandwiches, etc. With that being said, I think even the pickiest of eaters should be able to find something they like. For starters we had the spinach dip which was tasty! If you love spinach dip I suggest you give the one at Mezza Grille a try. I had the eggplant parmigiana which was delicious. The eggplant had mozzarella cheese and was topped with breadcrumbs -- delightful! It came with a side of asparagus and pasta (with red sauce) and initially I was concerned it would be a bit bland but it wasn't. We also tried the salmon which came with diced mango and peppers, a side of spinach, and rice with mushrooms. I've tried a ton of salmon in my day and although this one wasn't the best, the mango gave it a nice kick. Also, their portions are huge!  Cocktails I only had one drink so I definitely had to make it a good one. I decided to try the Sour Apple Martini which was sweet and strong. I have a pretty high tolerance for alcohol so it didn't give me much  of a buzz. But, if you're not much of a drinker this may be perfect for you. Life I loved the ambiance of this place -- its so spacious and nicely decorated! You can either eat at the bar or at a table. I wore a cute top and satin palazzo pants and felt comfortable. Some of the other guests were much more casual, but if you're looking for a romantic dinner place this could be it. There were some couples with smaller children so if you and your lover want a romantic date but cant find a baby sitter I definitely think this is a good option. Ladies, you can wear a cute (but sexy/fun/flirty) blouse with jeans and feel like you're dressed appropriately.  If you make it over to Mezza Grille drop a line in the comments and tell me about your experience. Until next time ladies and gents! :) read more

I have mixed feelings about Cafe Mezza. The food was excellent and very good value however the service was terrible. Despite the place being half full, we were seated at 7 pm and the waiter didn't take our order until 7:40 pm. It then took 30 minutes to receive our appetizer plate of hummus and baba ganoosh, and that was only because we flagged down another waiter to help us get our food. My husband and I shared the kofta kebab plate (skewered ground beef) and it was extremely flavorful. We loved the accompanying garlic sauce and cinnamon rice. I will probably give Cafe Mezza one more try because our food was truly wonderful. Hopefully the lack of service we experienced was a glitch. read more

Pick 3 appetizer was new to me, but I really enjoyed it! Everything was fresh and smelled amazing. I got the red pepper dip, bruschetta, and tabbouleh. My first vegetarian dinner in a VERY long time. I loved the mint and parsley flavor in the tabbouleh, and the bruschetta had a wonderful texture. Not too crunchy and not too hard. It went very well with the other dishes. I'll be back to try more of the menu. read more

Tried this place last night. The food was really good - best I've had in a long time. I had the mango chicken - it was amazing. The chicken was perfectly cooked and covered in a really tasty glaze. It was crispy where it should be and soft and juicy in the middle. And the scalloped potatoes - WOW - they were rich and creamy - never have I ever had such perfectly cooked potatoes. The deserts were not great. I wouldn't waste my money or time on them. The service was good but slower than I thought it should have been. It took us 2 hours from start to finish. We had the time though. The appetizer and main course more than made up for any other shortcoming. read more

What a great find here on Yelp! Met my husband for lunch spur of the moment and so glad I happened upon this. They come to the table with chips and some sort of olive oil dip. They have a diverse lunch menu to please any appetite. We ordered the lunch trio: a beef tenderloin taco, chicken Acapulco and mezza salad along with the blackened fish. The beef tenderloin taco was super tender! Absolutely delicious. The chicken Acapulco was very light and flavorful. The dressing for the salad was creamy and busting with flavor. My husband's fish was cooked to perfection and was a generous portion. We definitely recommend trying Mezza Grille! read more

Consistently delicious. I've been coming here for years. I bring visitors to Houston here as the menu has a wide variety of options and everything is good.

Today my wife and I had the lunch trio. One taco with your choice of soup and salad. I had the chicken taco with tomato basil and a fruit salad. The tomato basil was on point and the fruit salad was cool and freshing. The taco was complimented with a mild chipotle sauce. The server was attentive and prompt. The atmosphere covers all occasions from casual to formal. I highly recommend this place. read more

I love Mezza Grille. I had a birthday party here several years ago and they did such an outstanding job with food and service! When I knew I had to entertain relatives from out of town Saturday evening, I knew I was going to take them here. Mezza Grille has a lovely atmosphere and the ambiance is great! They bring you seasoned pita crisps with olive oil and Mediterranean spices when you are seated. There are so many wonderful selections starting with appetizers, side and entree salads, Mediterranean entrees with Kabobs, lamb, fish, shrimp, pasta etc etc etc Our meal began with the trio of spreads: hummus, red pepper dip & eggplant dip served with fresh out Triangles We each ordered our own entrees - Mezza Salad with chicken, Mediterranean lamb and rice, pecan Crusted salmon platter, blackened fish platter, and lemon butter fish & shrimp We were also celebrating a special birthday so we ordered their tres leches and creme brûlée for dessert. The creme brûlée was so yummy I licked my spoon clean!!! Yes I'll return here often and ALWAYS suggest Mezza Grille to all my friends and relatives!!! read more

My husband was reluctant... Didn't want "fancy food" tonight. Then we looked over the menu, and he saw "Pork Chop... Scalloped potatoes... " He was sold! He even got "mushroom risotto" and loved it! (Totally fancy...) I got the Mango Stuffed Chicken... O. M. G. It was fantastic!!! Even my husband thought so... Mr. Picky! We also shared some wonderful crab cakes (FULL of real crab). Then... White chocolate bread pudding. Holy cow, THAT was delicious. Very happy we tried this! And they have a million more things I'd love to try... Burgers, Pizza, Seafood Pasta, Sandwiches, Steak, Seafood, etc! read more
