Great food and servers are very friendly. We have always sat outside on their front patio - it's not bad although right next to parking lot. read more

We found this restaurant on yelp and decided to drop in for a bite to eat after a comedy show. We arrived 1 hour before closing and the food and service was outstanding!!!!! The lamb Shank was awesome. If you have time and are willing too spend about $50 per meal this is a must eat. read more

I love this place. I live literally a few blocks away and never new about this place. Thanks helpers. Mango chicken is a must. But I do enjoy their salmon, tuna, and lamb from time to time. Great and friendly staff and everytime we have gone so far, its never too busy. So service is always snappy! read more

This place was outstanding!! We went here for date night and were highly impressed with the food and atmosphere. It's really nice and classy with lighted candles on the tables. I had the Spicy Italian Sausage and Shrimp Pasta. The cream was so delicious and tasty!!! The sun-dried tomatoes added a nice kick to the taste. You can also taste the freshness of the shrimp. Hubby had the Spicy Lamb and Rice. The plate tasted very authentic with high-quality ingredients. The service was also up to part. I would recommend this place for a date night or special occasion. read more

Love this neighborhood gem! Varied menu to accommodate any diners taste. Our favorites are the chicken parmigiana, chicken kabob with rice and perfectly grilled vegetables. The crab cakes are delicious. Service is friendly and welcoming. The wine list offers many selections with very reasonable prices read more

My husband and I had a wonderful dinner at Mezza last night . The crab cakes and hummus are to die for . We both enjoyed or main course the salmon it was fabulous. They make the best Maggie's . The atmosphere was so relaxing our server Najah was very professional. read more

My family and I went here for Father's Day and our food came out fast and every dish of our food is delicious yummm

Just had the mango chicken and loved every bite! The patio ambiance was nice also with the peaceful music.

I came to this place for a buffet type party so tried a lot of things. I was very impressed, but I didn't know until I came for a meal how really excellent this place was. It was over a year later that a group of us defaulted to Café Meza when we found the restaurant close by needed us to have a reservation. We were so glad that they did. My favorite thing here is Chicken Kabobs. The Chicken needs no salt or spice. It is perfectly done; a hint of sweet, something unknown and wonderful, yet not sugary; another spice taking over where that hint of sweet left off. Tender, grilled, deliciousness. Surprisingly more tender and flavorful than the steak Kabob which is also great. Everything is very simply prepared, with very natural spicing and cooking methods; achieving flavor from grills and a touch of this and a dash of that that you can;t place, but realize that you must have it again. Vegetables Al-dente alongside my kabobs with a really nice sauce to dip them in. The rice; OH the rice! At first bite, you're thinking that you need something more and then the afterflavors set in; basmati and something (the owner and Chef told me but I won't reveal), that rice is a must and it will surprise you that you may very well eat the entire portion. No borrowed and overdone extravagance in the cooking - just excellent combinations of unique spices and flavors. Very unique. One of my favorites! read more

Key highlight points; 1) food was delicious 2) ambiance needs work 3) server was mediocre at best 1) Okay so the biggest thing at a restaurant is the food which was quite tasty! After snacking on the pita chip things that come on the table (delicious) and getting the fried calamari (nicely crunchy, a little chewy though), we didn't want big dinners. I got the blt sandwich with fries (very good) and boyfriend got the bacon blue cheese burger (also delicious and tender and juicy). All good stuff. My friend at the table got the Oreo chocolate mousse dessert which was excellent- so good. 2) I hate to say that the vibe we got was that they're trying to be classy/upscale and it's not really working. They had jazzy music and the servers were very well dressed which kind of clashed with the layout of the restaurant. It felt like a regular store front in a strip mall- it could have been a clothing store, but they chose to put in tables and chairs. There was no separations or dividers or anything so it made the space feel small. Not s huge deal though. 3) Not much to say about the server beyond she never introduced herself and then she seemed completely disinterested in helping our table and just wanted us to leave. She would ask if we needed anything but he body language and facial expressions said she didn't want us to say that we did need something, haha. It's definitely worth checking out- I'm new to the area so there are literally hundreds of places for me to try so I won't be back in a hurry, but I would go back. read more

The server rush us last Sunday. She was in a rush too take drink and food orders. When we finished she rush too get the bill without asking if we wanted desert. read more

Five (5) years ago I discovered this wonderful restaurant and became a regular. However, I had one isolated event w/a impolite waiter and a change to my favorite dish and quickly became disenchanted with the place. Management tried to smooth things over, but the damage had been done. Well, I stopped by yesterday and they have been restored to my list of greatness. My Turkey Melt Sandwich was amazing and the customer service was perfect. Also, they have renovated since my last visit and the ambiance is very appealing. read more

Visited this place with a group of 18. The service was superb despite our group size. The food...wow! All of our beef dishes were so tender, including the non-filet steak. The lamb was perfectly cooked and just the right amount. I would give it 10 stars if I could. read more

Only ordered take out but the falafel wrap and chicken wrap are so good. The portions are large but good to eat over two meals. The garlic sauce on the side is chefs kiss. A nice side of fries is great with the sandwiches! read more

I have been here numerous times and have never been disappointed with the food or staff. You can't go wrong with the Mango Chicken, Crab Cakes, Fried Calamari or something I just tried as an appetizer called Chipotle Balls (I think). The new fully stocked bar is also a great addition that wasn't available when we first started dining here. Great experience! read more

We popped in for a quick dinner on our way to meet with friends on our first visit and we are so grateful we did! It was busy so we stole away to the cocktail lounge for a quiet dinner. I ordered the grilled vegetable platter and let me tell you... Best scalloped potatoes of my life. Every bite was a flavor explosion. So many textures and the char was visible and added so much depth to the dish. My husband ordered the ribeye and was raving about the steak as much as the sides. We asked the waitress and she informed us that they have been around for years. What a hidden gem! Can't wait to go back again next time we're on that side of town. read more

Wow! The food and service were exceptional!!!! The food was hot, our drinks were always full and the wait staff was very attentive!!! If I could give it 10 stars I would have!!! It's a must try!!!!! read more

Great for corporate events. We had 30 people here last night and the food was quick, service was great, the salads were huge! The coconut tree leches was a hit. Everything else was just okay, it's hard to have really amazing food when it's for a large group. Would recommend for a large group / event! read more

I came here with a group of 15 people and they were able to keep up with our demands! Our waiter, Omar was great! Great food, awesome cocktails and fantastic service! read more

Great food , flavors and healthy options. Excelente service Tina took great care of us

I am obsess with this restaurant Food is amazing employees are super welcoming and friendly I love it!! read more

We drove across town only to find that they had decided to close the kitchen early because it was a slow night. Bad business. Your slow night is not my (the customer) fault. If you post hours of operation, you're committing to serve your customers during that time. That way if they take the time to come there, they aren't wasting their time. Bad business. read more

Mezza Grille was a fantastic find! We are a bit skeptical when we find a restaurant with so many glowing reviews. Most times it is too good to be true but in this case it was. Omar was great as well. I ordered the Mango stuffed chicken and it was delicious. I've never tasted anything like it! I highly recommend it. It does take a little bit longer than the other dishes but well worth the wait. read more

Everything here is great - casual, but definitely one of the best restaurants in Houston! My fave is the grilled chicken shish tawook.

Sometimes when I'm tired and down, I want comfort food. The media is torn about Houston, its offerings, and our lifestyle but, one of the things I love about Houston is that there are so many types of comfort food...pick an part of the world or flavor profile and you can find comfort. Yay diversity, yay us! Today, I wanted veggie comfort with a twist and my friend suggest Cafe Mezza. Great choice! Located in a strip mall on Westheimer, but what isn't, this is a great Mediterranean restaurant with some extra flavors thrown in. When you sit down they bring the best pita chips that I've ever had with olive oil and seasoning. Yummy, yummy. We ordered Hummus as an appetizer. It was absolutely delicious. For my entree, I had the falafel sandwich...one of my favorite sandwiches in the world, when done correctly. This one was done correctly, and more! It was flavorful, the falafel was cooked correctly - crispy on the outside and moist in the center, with tahini and fresh veggies in a grilled wheat pita. YUMMY! Between my friend and my Mediterranean delights...I was a little more perky when I left Cafe Mezza! Go Houston. read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants to go to, bar none. The waitstaff is on top of things, always refilling drinks without asking, regularly checking without overdoing it, and the food is superior to most places. The chicken is juicy and tender and everything tastes fresh. Their signature dish is the mango stuffed chicken breast and it's exquisite! Even their complementary pita chips is a refreshing new twist. I love it here, it's well worth the money spent. read more

First time in town found on Yelp. Family owned, nice bar and atmosphere. Friendly bartender who helped me choose. Nice wine list and good pricing. Had the mixed kabobs with chicken and beef. Side of fresh grilled veggies and rice. Perfectly cooked, hot, filling. Had leftovers. Kudos to kitchen and staff:) nice job!! read more

Tried this restaurant on weekend and it's now my new favorite place. So many choices on the menu, but I could not pass up their salads. You are given quite a few to choose from but I decided on the roasted vegetables salad with grilled shrimp. Holy yum! Excellent. Will definitely be back. Also another selling point is they can accommodate a big group. Oh before I forget their coffee is good too. read more

This place is freaking fantastic! Portions are HUGE! 2 people can easily share an entree. First we started off with the almond crusted brie and then I ordered the mango stuffed chicken and my sister ordered the blackened shrimp pasta but substituted chicken apple sausage instead of the shrimp. The food was amazing!! I highly recommend the mango stuffed chicken. The flavors are so unique and delicious! The service was great, our waiter was super patient and helpful. I would definitely go back again! read more

Stopped in on a business trip. The food was Amazing. I highly recommend trying the stuffed chicken.

For a place that isn't on Hillcroft or way out on Westheimer where there are a bunch of other middle eastern places just before you reach Highway 6, I was very impressed with their kebabs. I had their ground beef (kubideh) kebab, and found it to have the right balance of spices to bring more flavor than I've normally found in them. Also, as a fusion restaurant, they make great American foods, such as their delicious tomato basil soup. Despite being close to some very expensive dining options, Cafe Mezza is very reasonably priced for the quality of food you get. I've only been once, but I definitely want to give them another shot soon. read more

Really amazing food. I had mango stuffed chicken and my husband has garlic butter chicken. Food was full of flavor and cooked to perfection. We also had chicken tortilla soup which was delicious. I would have given 5 stars but they should have offered bread with the dishes like most Mediterranean places do. That was the only thing my husband was bummed out about. Otherwise the food was delicious and the place is very clean with a romantic setting. Would highly recommend. read more

I came to this restaurant with no expectations and was pleasantly surprised. Our server Omar was attentive and the ambience was the perfect environment for our large party. I ordered the prime rib with mushroom rissoto and grilled asparagus. The steak was seasoned well but a little more cooked than I preffered and the asparagus was a little lemony but overall my dish was good. The mushroom rissoto and the lobster bisque were AMAZING! The cocktails were good too! read more

My husband and I went to Mezza Grille for the first time on Friday and it was phenomenal. I made a reservation the day before, not knowing how busy it would be on a Friday night (especially the Friday before Valentine's Day), and our table was already set and ready to enjoy the complimentary bread/chips with seasoned dipping oil. Surprisingly, the place had a lot of available seating around the time we went, 6:30pm. The ambience is nice with dim lighting. It's perfect for date night. They also have a nice patio area outside to dine at. My husband ordered the Lemon Butter Fish & Shrimp Platter and I ordered the Lemon Butter Chicken Pasta. Both entrees came out quickly and tasted fantastic! The portions are huge and we easily got two meals out of each of our entrees. It was one of the best dinners we've had. I highly recommend trying this place out. read more

Me and my husband came here for the first time and the service was not great. We had two different waiters. The first one only bright us the drinks and took out order. After that he disappeared and the second waiter came but took forever to come around.. Though the service wasn't great the food was amazing! The portion of the food was perfect and the price was great. Also, the fresh lemonade was amazing. read more

The crab cake was beat I've ever eaten and I'm a foodie from New Orleans thanks Mezza grille

This is a lunch review! I loved the free pita chips, they got pretty salty but I was okay with it because their iced tea was fresh and the refills were prompt! I kinda failed by not ordering anything Mediterranean but I was still impressed. I got the lunch special which was a ridiculously large portion. It came with a cup of yummy tomato basil soup, a gigantor caesar salad, and a massive turkey sandwich. This entire meal was finished over the course of 3 days. read more

You gotta try this place . It's somewhat a fusion , with some Italian food , and I want to say Greek or middle eastern . I had on the lunch menu , chicken / beef kabob combination with saffron rice and grilled vegetables . Would highly recommend this combination . Rice is supper fluffy and light . The vegetables are grilled but have a slight light crunch to them . Impressive service and big portions . My home is not near here , but I plan on coming back when I work around Houston again . Great music too ! read more

The food here is extremely salty. It is painful to eat. I asked them to take my dish and not use salt - they gave me a new dish which is mildly less salty but still very unhealthy. If you have heart problem, high blood pressure, or functional tastebuds in your mouth consider not eating here because their food is very unhealthy. read more
