Excellent service and food was delicious. The ambience is just right and parking was t horrible.

I was having a really bad night, crying and alone, and I needed a place to sit. I asked if I could buy something small with Apple pay --because I wanted to sit outside on one of their chairs and felt bad doing that without buying something but only had my phone on me. The bartender asked what I wanted and I told him just a water and he gave me a bottled water for free and told me not to worry about it. No matter how messed up the world feels sometimes, there will always be kind people out there, and it turns out one of them works at this restaurant. Thank you so much to that guy. Made a horrible night much more bearable. read more

Mezza Grille was a nice dinning experience, although it seems to be frequented by senior citizens. In fact, out table was the only one last night with the younger crowd. Mezza Grille is located in a strip mall, with plentiful parking options. Huge bar is located right inside the doors, and is nicely decorated. Menu is extensive, and I had difficult time deciding what to order. There must have been 10-15 salad options, that many pasta options, additional seafood options etc. I settled on breaded chicken with pasta in lemon sauce. My friends had ravioli and risotto. Overall, I was happy with the dining experience. The lighting is a bit dim for my taste, and prices are on the higher side. Having regular patrons who are senior citizens can mean consistency, and from what I experienced they got lots of it!!! read more

Love this restaurant. Food is delicious and the staff is AMAZING! Lord of open parking and a good patio.

I always get the Lemon Butter Chicken Platter with a salad or maybe a sharwama through Uber eats so I can't say much about in restaurant dinning. What I can say however is that the chicken is scrumptious and I love the potatoes and veggies that comes with it. It'll cost you $35-$40 or so though. The portion size is quite reasonable and you can share!Definitely try it. read more

If your restaurant search has brought you to this page, look no further and come to Mezza Grill, it is delicious and will not disappoint you. I came here while visiting Houston per my best friend's recommendation. This place is what I'm all about when it comes to food - refreshing, delicious food at a good value. My friend used their famous mango-stuffed chicken and their hummus as the selling points to convince me to come at which point I was, of course, sold. We started with their "pick-3" dips deal and we got the hummus, eggplant, and red pepper spreads with pita bread. The hummus was excellent, definitely the best of the three, although the other two certainly had their own appeal. All 3 were light and refreshing, the red pepper dip had great pepper flavor and a nice crunch and the eggplant spread was light and smooth. For my main dish, I stuck with my friend's recommendation and went with the mango-stuffed chicken. In a word, "wow." First, the portion size is large enough for two people with normal-sized appetites or, as in my case, one person with a bottomless pit for a stomach. The chicken has a crisp, fried exterior and is moist inside. The chicken is stuffed with what tastes like a cornbread stuffing mixed with corn and black beans. To top it off they slather the whole thing in a buttery mango sauce that is nothing short of genius. As if that weren't enough, the chicken comes with these fabulous scalloped potatoes in a gratin-like cream sauce as well as some grilled veggies. Seriously amazing folks, one of the best entrees I've ever had at any restaurant, and I live in NYC. My friend got the snapper which I also tasted and it was pretty delicious; very hearty piece of fish with that great char-grilled flavor. I washed down my meal with their jalapeño cucumber margarita which was just perfect and so refreshing. If you come here you are guaranteed to have a special meal that you will remember. I look forward to my next visit. read more

This is the best restaurant in Houston and nobody knows about it. How this place does not have a one month waiting list, I'll never understand. You cannot go wrong with anything on this menu. Lemon butter, chicken pasta, and the mango chicken are the highlights but close your eyes and pick and you'll be a happy camper. read more

Incredible food and such amazing service too. Going to be coming here on the regular for years to come. Lamb chops with a mix of hummus and the chicken shawarma got me hooked to this place. 100/10 read more

Came here for a close friend's birthday. The service was good & our server was knowledgeable about every item on the menu. We were a pretty large group & she was on top of everything for the most part. Now on to the food. Everyone at our table was amazing with how great everything tasted, so flavorful & fresh. I ordered the grilled chicken breast Alfredo which I paired with tomato basil soup & the hibiscus martini. That martini was SO good, I wish I had ordered 2. One note is that the server did forget to bring my soup however I was able to get it to go as well as removed from the check. Definitely going to recommend this place to friend & I will be back soon! read more

I'm so glad I decided to check out this restaurant. The place is spacious and open for dining in. My favorite part aside from the dish I got, was the art. The rabbits on the wall really made my day... they are so adorable! Such a pleasant surprise. My dinner experience here was great. They play good choice of new remix/songs and they are not too loud. I was worried the songs might be loud but they were not. I ordered their chipotle beef tenderloin pasta and added shrimp. Smells and tastes amazing. I liked how they were generous with the grilled shrimp. The beef tenderloin was tender and yummy. The pasta was perfect. While it was a bit heavy for my liking, I decided to to-go the rest, which worked out. I will definitely want to return to this place. The ladies are welcoming, the place is clean and they have good food choices/drinks. read more

It's been too long since we ate here. My husband had the turkey melt-spicy and loved it! I had the chicken wrap-spicy with a side salad. The salad dressing was perfect. Lite and favorable. The side salad was a definitely worth the price as it was enough for two. Yes, a side salad enough for two. We loved our lunch. Service was excellent! We will be back. read more

Hosted a lunch for a wedding party and everyone there has been raving about the food and service! The falafel is probably one of the best I have had and the grilled chicken was very moist. Highly recommend this place! read more

The food here was amazing. Before the food comes, they give you these pita chips that are like crack. Perfectly light and crispy with the perfect herb seasoning. I ended up ordering the mango chicken and it was super good. Nice and crispy on the outside, the chicken was cooked perfectly, and it was stuffed with cheese and an assortment of different veggies/fruit. The mango sauce that came came on top was also addictive and added a nice balance to the savory flavors. It was served with a side of scalloped potatoes that were buttery and garlicky, and it's something I could have just eaten on it's own. Would absolutely order again. The wait staff were attentive and friendly, nothing more you could ask for there. If you're looking for a nice and comfortable environment to eat great and unique food with a twist on Mediterranean cuisine then look no further. read more

My husband and I eat here a lot. Everything they make is always so good. Their hummus is hands down the best I've ever had. I usually get a seafood dish and the butter sauce that goes with it has so much flavor! One of their best sides are scalloped potatoes. They are so good and creamy yum. My husband's favorite is the beef Kafka wrap with their heavenly garlic sauce to dip it in. It's so huge he can't even finish it. Their kabob plates are really good too. I like to get the combo with beef, chicken and fish. It comes with the garlic sauce and a huge portion of jasmine rice. I heard they will be bringing back their steak and huge lamb chop. Lastly they have a full bar and always good service! read more

Mezza Grille is in the same shopping center as The Palm and Amalfi Ristorante off of Westheimer. I went with a friend who was in town from Austin on a Saturday close to 8 PM. Even though some of the parking lot was valet only, parking wasn't a problem. A non-descript exterior was juxtaposed by a nice interior with a trendy bar as you walk in. The menu is pretty extensive and features an interesting mix of Italian, Mediterranean, and New American dishes. They start you off with some complimentary pita chips with olive oil. I had the mango-stuffed chicken which comes with scalloped potatoes and grilled veggies. This was the most highly recommended dish on Yelp and I had never had anything like it! I ended up replacing the grilled veggies with some mushroom risotto since my mom taught me not to eat my vegetables. The portions are very generous, we're talking a lot of food! The chicken was stuffed with stuffing, bean, and red peppers for the most part. The dish was great but I wish the menu was more descriptive. All the menu says is mango-stuffed chicken instead of indicating what the chicken is stuffed with. For dessert, there is a Yelp deal for a free dessert of your choice so take advantage of it! They were out of tiramisu which was too bad as it's one of my favorite desserts but I went with the white chocolate bread pudding instead. Served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream (again not indicated on the menu), I'm always a big fan of desserts that are a la mode. You also get a little wafer with the dessert. While not the best bread pudding I've ever had, it was an above average dessert. Service was good, just a bit "salesy" with overly aggressive to try to convince you to get an app, salad, etc. While a bit annoying, it definitely didn't spoil the meal and we were both impressed with the quality of the food! read more

Came here for date night and was impressed. I had the Asian chicken salad and my boyfriend had the pecan crusted salmon. We also ordered the calamari appetizer. Now I must say, the calamari was probably the best I've ever tasted. It was seasoned very well and tasted fresh. My salad was good as well especially the dressing and the salmon was prepared perfect! I also loved the music selection playing. Plenty of parking and exceptional service. I will return! read more

Almond crusted brie was yummy! Mezza salad is basic but fresh apples is nice. Good way to add some solid greens Mango stuffed Chicken- a lot of flavors going on here. My favorite is simply that the chicken wasn't dried out. The scalloped potatoes were good but the grilled veggies were a bit soggy. Ordered with Uber eats and mezza had it prepped in 30min. Quick takeout / delivery service. I've also dined in house and I believe has the seafood ceviche and red snapper. Both were great! Love the seafood in this place. Will return! read more

Excellent. We had the kebab mix with chicken, beef, and the rice. OMG!!! AMAZING!!! We decided to share the dish and ordered the mezzanine salad to go with it. The salad was ok. Not either of our favorite but fresh and the dressing was nice. The crab cake has some louisiana flavors which surprised me a little. Crust was a little reminiscent of a hush puppy. Taste pretty good. The star of the dinner was the kebobs!!! We order the beef medium rare/medium. Everything was fantastic and each meat had a unique flavor/seasoning. It was so good I forgot about the garlic sauce til half way through the meal. When I used it I had foodie fireworks!!! Who knew this food could actually get better. The sauce was spot on!!! I'm a fan. I will be back. Service was excellent, place was clean, nice music, good vibes. Great for a date night or family evening. read more

Wife and I went here this past mother's day. As you walk in, there is nothing much to see. Order a drink and it's most likely going to be strong. Now, that I got that out of the way, the unassuming decor, hides a menu of deliciousness!!!! You get this toasted pita bread chips with seasoning that you can't eat just one. The fried calamari flavor with fresh marinara was killer (definitely need to shorten fry time to help with texture, but still awesome). Wife ordered the mango stuffed chicken breast and it was a flavor explosion!!!!! I order the mixed grill, it was a hit with my taste buds! Finally order the coconut tres leches, I would recommend using coconut milk versus the over toasted coconut shavings. As far as service goes. I will not judge until next time since it was extremely busy. As a whole we were satisfied with the service. Final note, we are definitely going back!!! read more

I wanted to visit Mezza Grille for the longest time, so I finally made the journey. Parking is easy. There are numerous spots in the private lot shared with other businesses. The restaurant can be missed when driving down Westheimer. It's in the same lot as Amalfi Ristorante Italiano & Bar and Melting Pot. Upon entrance, the hostess is to your immediate left. The bar is straight ahead. There are tables spread throughout the restaurant. There is outdoor seating available as well. FOOD: Pita Chips with Olive Oil and Herbs: Decent. They only give you about 5 pieces of pita chips. We had to keep asking for more, especially with hungry appetites. Chicken Apple Sausage Pasta (4/5, Angel hair pasta in a sweet & spicy chipotle cream sauce, fresh baby spinach, & caramelized granny smith apples): 4 pieces of sausage. Goodness, the caramelized apple = genius. It definitely brings the slightly sweet flavor from the sweet & spicy chipotle sauce. I gave this 4 stars because the taste became overpowering and greasy after awhile. All pastas come with toasted garlic bread. Mixed Grill (4/5, 1 skewer each Shish Kabob, Shish Tawook, & Kufta with a creamy garlic sauce; saffron basmati rice, seasoned grilled vegetables): My friend ordered this and swapped the grilled vegetables for the Wild Mushroom Risotto. I tried a bite of the Shish Tawook wth the Risotto! Both were delicious! He finished this plate clean! Stuffed Mango Chicken (5/5, Topped with a mango butter sauce; creamy scalloped potatoes & seasoned grilled vegetables): Oh, Yelp almost never fails me! I am so glad I tried this chicken dish. It was just unique and delicious.... chicken breast was tender with a golden crust. I have to talk about the mango sauce that lit my taste buds! It was executed perfectly with the assorted vegetable filling inside the chicken. The scalloped potatoes and roasted veggies were seasoned and made perfectly. I recommend this! Creme Brulee (1/5): Be sure to check in Yelp for free dessert. First of all, this took forever to come out. Second, parts of the dessert were either cold or warm. Consistency of the texture didn't impress me. Service was horrible! I would have given this place 5 stars, but the service and dessert knocked one off. There were about 3 servers on shift, and they were mingling around the bar. I had to wave another server to inquire about the check and dessert menu. Would I come back? I definitely will because the food. It is well-seasoned with huge portions!! Happy hour: 4-7PM daily in the bar, lounge, & patio only! read more

Mezza Grille has amazing service, and it's a nice calming place. You could taste the freshness, like it was fresh off the stove. I had the Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo, and as a picky eater I loved it. It was warm, creamy, filling, and overall amazing. My dad had the Spicy Seafood Risotto, he said it was very rich, creamy, not too spicy, he wouldn't get it again. It isn't bad, it's just that if he ate all of it he would have heartburn for the rest of the night, it was very fattening, but it was good. We as a family had the hummus as an appetizer, it was creamy, heaven on a plate, smooth, perfect amount of olive oil, no where else compares. read more

This restaurant has been at the location for 17 years. It is still owned by the original family. We decided to check it out. So, We had cocktails and supper. Falafel very good though our favorite version of falafel comes from a different Middle Eastern place nearby. Also ordered the lamb shank in a broth, which comes with basmati rice and a grilled tomato on the side. We did not have room for dessert. Look forward to trying some other dishes at the next visit soon. read more

Very chill family environment. I was in Houston visiting for the weekend and found this place on help and we were not disappointed. We started with the chips and Some type of oil that was mixed with black pepper- I love it some much that I requested seconds to go along with my meal. My gf had the shrimp and veggies platter and I had the lamb and rice combo. Both dishes were amazing, but like usual- the girlfriend felt like her meal was hers and my meal is OURS. Lol Regardless, we had fun and will definitely return. Thanks for a great Friday night. read more

Mezza Grille - Dinner - Mediterranean Near Me - Houston, Texas

We had dinner here on Friday night before a graduation. We wanted an option to sit outside and this fit the bill. Granted, the outside seating overlooks a strip center parking lot, but that is often the case in Houston. It didn't matter because the food and service was so good I would've sat in the actual parking lot. We had a delightful waitress who was the perfect amount of helpful but not overbearing. We started with an appetizer of hummus and pita and it was some of the best, smoothest hummus I have ever had. We each had a dinner salad. The salads were huge and were a great mix of apples and nuts and other things you don't normally see in a dinner salad. I had the falafel wrap as my entree and it was absolutely fantastic. They have an option to spice it up a bit, which I did, and I really enjoyed it. They also had a nice wine selection. We were too full for any dessert. The next time in Houston I will definitely go back to this place! read more

Fabulous experience from beginning to end. The food and service were outstanding. The host was so kind and polite. Our waitstaff made sure our drink glasses stayed full. Our party of 4 ordered mango stuffed chicken, spicy chipotle seafood pasta, and the kofta kebab platter. The portions were huge for the price. The seafood pasta was so flavorful. You could tell just by looking at it that it was loaded with flavor. It had a creamy chipotle sauce that definitely had a nice spiciness to it. The rest of my party also really enjoyed their food. For dessert, we enjoyed the bread pudding and the Oreo mousse. Both were delicious. The coffee was also very good. The cocktails were delicious as well. At the end of our meal, the host came and asked us about our experience. He recommended that next time we try the lamb shank, and I can't wait to come back for that. Highly recommend this restaurant! read more

All I have to say is WOW! Have been wanting to visit this place for a couple of weeks, and finally got to visit today!

The service was great, thank you Alexander. I will be definitely coming back! read more

Great food and Great service Had the stuffed chicken. Extra juicy and tender. Got nothing to complain about read more

Great service, nice atmosphere but I felt like the ribeye was lacking flavor. Food: I got the ribeye steak with double garlic mashed potatoes. The steak was charred and that's all I really tasted. It was not extremely tender nor did it have lots of flavor. All I tasted was charred meat. The garlic mash are potatoes were pretty good. I was really expecting a better tasting steak. Although the lobster bisque was really good! Management: can you confirm if the steak typically just tastes charred and lacks flavor? Maybe it was an off night. Also for the price I was expecting a bone in rib eye. Maybe you all can start selling bone in rib eyes ? Great service and nice place to eat after a long day or a good place to take a date as well. I may go back and get a few other thing s I kind of regret not trying the acclaimed mango chicken. From the reviews I've read after the fact, the mango chicken sounds flavorful and like the dish to get. My steak lacked flavor and was overly charred. read more

Really love the food. Had one bad experience when ordering via Uber eats because the description on Uber Eats didn't say something had mushrooms (a LOT) and refused to replace it. Another note if it's delivery is I don't recommend anything that's going to be wanted medium rare because it keeps cooking when it's on other hot food and ends up being chewy. Other than that, the food is awesome. There's a seafood bisque that is one of my favorites and also a spicy chipotle sauce they use on a few pasta dishes that is amazing. The menu has a huge amount of variety but every thing they prepare is really good. read more

I came here with my significant other after taking a board exam to celebrate, and it was the best decision I could have made! I had wanted to come here earlier this year for my birthday, as I was in the area, but they were unfortunately closed. So glad I was able to try again. There was plenty of seating when we came here around 5:30 on a Wednesday. We were seated immediately and served with water and pita chips. The pita chip serving size was small, but they were some of the best I've ever had! I ordered the mango stuffed chicken, and my partner ordered the lemon better chicken. It took a bit of time for the food to come out, but not so long that we were getting impatient. When it did arrive, my jaw actually dropped! The entrees, like the house chips, were prepared to be much more fancy than I was expecting. My partner and I agreed that it was some of the best chicken we had ever had--crispy and breaded on the outside, and not one dry area inside. We also really loved the scalloped potatoes, which were finely sliced. Our service was amazing too! While it is a tad more expensive than other Mediterranean restaurants we have been to, it was well worth the price. I can't say that for many restaurants! read more

I arrived here purely by accident boy am I glad. First the place is brightly lit and has a hug bar in the middle of the restaurant, open kitchen you can see everything is going on in there. They also has patio seating which is very nice. The parking is very easy to access. I order off their HRW menu three course meal at the great price. The French goat cheese appetizer is enough to feed at least four people. The chick tortilla soup has lots of Latin spices and the broth is delicious. Then there come the star of the show, the mix kabob plate. Which is Kaufta and beef and chicken kabobs. Wow wow.... the rice and the grill vegetable which is great. The dessert was icing on the cake. Sometimes life's best surprise is when you least expected. This is one of them. My server is fantastic, the service is on point in every way . Great food great service equal happy customers. Thank you. Great job guys!! You bet I will be back to try more stuff on the menu. read more

We had a group work luncheon and it was my first time dining here. I thought the decor was nice and so was the staff. The menu listed a great variety of Mediterranean food along with salads, pasta, and various entrees and pizzas. They even had something for vegetarians. We ordered the hummus for appetizers to share. I liked the hummus as it was accompanied by hot warm pita bread. You really can't go wrong with hummus anywhere. For my entree, I ordered the lemon butter fish & shrimp platter. It came with scalloped potatoes & grilled vegetables and the fish was topped with mushrooms/onions/artichoke. The fish was perfectly cooked and very tasty along with the good portion of shrimp. The scalloped potatoes are probably the best I have ever had anywhere. If you're looking for a nice place for lunch, this is the place to go. It can get crowded for lunch so go early or go later, not during the lunch crowd rush. read more
