a bowl of rice, meat and vegetables
MC H.

Ok, I'm done. Mezza has now joined the ranks of restaurants that cheap out once they gain popularity. One of the most expensive things on the menu is the donair platter. Please see the pic. 3 slices donair meat, no toppings, 90% rice and 4 shreds of lettuce. Nice one Mezza, that was the icing on top Of the cake. Hummus is not authentic, neither is the tabouli. Everything tastes mass produced. 2 stars only for pickled turnips.

a pita filled with chicken and potatoes

I pretty much can be counted on to get take-out from here once a week. The food is consistently fresh and delicious. I always get their shawarma wrap and my wife gets the chicken souvlaki plate. The shawarma is never dry and my wrap always seems to be hot even after sitting for a while. The homemade pickled turnip is almost my favorite part. The garlic sauce is garlicky but not overdone. The line-ups to order always seem long but I have a Mezza pro tip: skip the line-ups by using the One Local ordering app to order/pay in advance and take out or eat there. Plus, for every $50 you spend at Mezza through the app you get $5 off your next order- it's like a no-brainer 10% discount! There's several things I have to knock: I am *ahem* not the slimmest of individuals but the distance between the order counter and divider to the restaurant is too narrow; people just look squished in when they are waiting to order and pick their toppings. They need a One Local/phone in order pick up sign so I don't get dirty looks from hungry lemmings er people like I am jumping the line. It's loud: they blast Middle Eastern dance music so loudly you can't have a conversation. The service is slow: even when I place my order ahead of time I always find the staff are slammed and I have to wait. I can really only take away one star for the cons. Did I mention value?! The meal size for the money is awesome; you can get a much healthy, tastier options for the same price as a McDonald's combo meal. Why would you pick the latter?

Falafel plate takeout. Great value and delicious food, but a 15 to 20 minute wait whenever I've gone.

The food here is great, but the service is slow! I think they take too many orders at once, and by the time your takeout container makes it down the line through multiple different assembly line workers, you've been asked by 3 or 4 different people what your order is. 1st person: What would you like to order? Tabouli or Greek salad? Rice or fries? 2nd person: Tabouli or Greek salad with this plate? Rice or fries? 3rd person: Did you order the chicken souvlaki? No? Falafel? Oh we're still waiting for falafel from the kitchen (and they push the plates of the two people behind me ahead of me as these customers awkwardly squeeze past me in line up). 4th person: What did you order today so I can ring you through? To me, it would make more sense to order and pay for the food at the first stage of the line, then they could print out a slip of what your order is and they could keep it with your container or plate and the employees could just read your ticket before filling your container at each stage. Their falafel plate is delicious, but I'd go more often if I could place & pay for my order, then sit and wait for them to call my name when they've finished putting my order together.

The mixed grill plate with a coke.

First off. Let me say that you should NOT get the fries. That's a weird choice to make at this place. The rice is /SPECTACULAR/. Also keep in mind that it's a serving station like subway has. There is no table service. I went with my roommate and boyfriend, and I got the mixed grill plate, and the other two got the basic chicken Slovakia plates. Both with salad and rice. I chose rice as well. The rice was soft and fluffy, and the taboli salad was divine. I am a huge fan of it, and anyone who can make it perfectly will have my undying devotion. The chicken was cooked all the way through, but still juicy. The sticks themselves for the slovaki plates were burnt, and cracked off in hand. The salad was fresh, and the hummas and garlic sauce were perfect. I got a coke with mine. 18.99 for the entire thing. Its a bit pricy honestly, but it's worth it. They give you the choice between a plate and the take out container. For the most food, get the plate. The restaraunt itself was clean and nicely decorated, and the employees were ready to take your order. If they needed to go out back for something, they excused themselves, and got it quickly. All in all, I really enjoyed it. I'll come back for more.

Love coming here and getting the souvlaki plate. Comes with delicious fries, Greek salad and a chicken skewer. Staff are friendly.

Ray's is a great alternative to greasy take-out food…read more You walk in and order at the counter. Most of the food is on the other side of the sneeze guard, so you can see what it is in case it's new to you. Then you pay at the other end of the counter next to the drink fridges. They have cafeteria style trays to load up and carry your food to the table of your choice. You also grab your own napkins, etc. Ray's has some gluten-free options if you need them. A great spot to grab delicious shawarma and perfect for grabbing food while you're out shopping or running errands in Bayers Lake!

EPIC FAIL I used to love the original Rays food, but this…read morelocation has been getting worse & worse. Even when it opened the food was bland, but it keeps going downhill. The food is now completely lacking in distinctive Lebanese flavours, like they've either cut corners everywhere or the owner (nope, not a chef) has the palette of a camel. . I ordered chicken Shwarma, and my friend had chicken kebab. The meat was so dry it was hard - he LITERALLY couldn't get his teeth through it. My chicken was only a bit better - chewable, but bland and grossly overcooked. I took the kebab back to my terrier. Even he had to chew it hard on his back teeth, then he coughed and looked for water. TRUE STORY! The rice & lentils were mostly just rice, with no hint of the signature browned onions. It was served with some other pretty tasteless yellowish rice, so half my plate ended up being boring rice. The almost grey cabbage was too soft and had no added flavour. The potatoes had become soggy victims of the steam table and lost whatever browned taste they might ever have had. The hummus was wet and over processed. It lacked both taste & texture, and neither it nor the garlic sauce seemed to have ever met garlic. There seemed to be no lemon in ANY of it. Even the Tabouleh just tasted like soggy old parsley. My food was $20, and his was $22. We didn't buy the Baklava. The pastry looked stale, and it there wasn't enough honey (or syrup) to keep it tender or hold it all together. Not sure about the nuts, either. They looked pale the (ahem) peanuts-like. Baklava just shouldn't be made like that. I will never go back and was sad for my friend's failed introduction to Lebanese food. May you rest in peace, old Mrs Ray. I'm so sorry your recipes are also as tasteless as the grave.

We went here for lunch, and it was a great choice! No wait for a table, water views, and the food…read morewas mostly good. We got the lunch special, lamb pita and lamb bowl. Both were underwhelming. Not much meat and the veggies/pickles they give are a little random. BUT, everything else we got was really good, especially the babagannosh and puffed up pita! That was definitely my favorite dish. I could eat a whole bowl of it! The tomato and peach salad, and broccolini sides we got were also very good! Service was a bit slow and they got my order wrong but was quick to fix it. I would definitely come here again, but try the skewers instead of the bowl or pita.

Darya's brunch buffet used to be one of the best dining deals in Halifax. It was a genuine standout…read morethat included a generous spread of high-quality Mediterranean dishes, all at a price point that made it feel like a treat without the guilt. We were regulars, and for good reason, sometimes going every week. ...but that's what makes the recent changes so disappointing. The buffet price has jumped from $35 to $42 per person (about a 20% increase) and yet somehow the offerings have gone in the opposite direction. The number of dishes on the buffet has been reduced, and most of the accompanying sauces have been quietly cut back or eliminated altogether. The toum, in particular, used to be a highlight (garlicky, creamy, and addictive) and its absence is genuinely felt. Now, two people are now easily spending $100+ for what is demonstrably less food than before. Since tax and tips are calculated as a percentage of overall spend, you end up paying quite a bit more per person than what you did a few months ago. The food that remains is still good. Darya's kitchen hasn't lost its touch, and the quality of the Mediterranean cooking is evident. And of course, the views are spectacular. But value is about the whole equation, and right now that equation doesn't balance. Paying more for less, especially when the "less" includes things you loved, is a hard sell. We probably won't be back again, at least for a long time . Here's hoping they reconsider and restore what made this special for everyone, locals as well as seasonal tourists, in the first place.
