the Person who took my order was very distracted. She wasnt really listening to me and asked me to repeat part of the order a few times because she was chatting with a coworker. the food was made to order, in a professional and sanitary fashion. The cashier thought my order was a regular donair because it was so small. she actuallly raised her eyebrows at the size. I had ordered a large I got it home and it was tiny. so small that I had to make myself a sandwich afterwards. The meat was like little tiny hunks of meatloaf. very little taste and the consistency was very strange.the meat was grey as well. my wife's salad was fine. we won't be going back. Not worth the money. read more

This place has been around for quite a while and their food is good/ made to order and plentiful- I like the donair box and the shawarma plate- I love that you can get 1/2 fries/ rice without an extra charge - I just wish there were no veggies in the rice only cause I don't like peas but that's an easy oversight! read more

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. read more

I came around lunch time and got a Chicken Shwarma plate with rice for about ~$12 taxes in. I thought it was a pretty good deal considering I could probably get 2 decent sized meals out of it. I like how the garlic sauce comes on the side, because some places put too much garlic sauce on the chicken shwarma, or the taste of the garlic can be overwhelming (which wouldn't be good to go back to work to!) I was a bit upset that they didn't have baba ganoush. In fact, the workers had no idea what I was talking about :( Also it would have been nice if they warmed up the pita. Maybe I'm just used to different standards. However, I do like how the food comes in a reusable container (likely not BPA-free so as long as you aren't microwaving your leftovers, it should be fine!) Overall, I'd come back again due to the lack of Lebanese food options in Halifax. read more

Mezza Lebanese Kitchen - Chicken Shwarma plate - Lebanese Near Me - Halifax, Nova Scotia

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? read more

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. read more

Tried to get 2 shawarmas and a chicken shawarma salad. What I received was not even close. The employee serving me was rude. It was beyond frustrating. Two of the orders were completely wrong! The salad was lettuce,pickle and chicken drenched in sauce and the other food was sub par. This is the last time I will waste my money there. read more

I was blow away by the price compared to portion size, a LARGE was the size of my hand in length... which is typically a small or regular. I paid $24 with time! absolutely outrageous read more

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. read more

went to this place and the other locations a lot because they have gluten-friendly options but I will have to stop going as they seem incredibly understaffed and are not keying in modifications correctly. i've had to watch them assemble my food as they keep auto-piloting and putting bread on it despite me saying 'no bread' multiple times. read more

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

Well what can I say about this place they have the worst by far the worst customer service on the planet I had to give the guy my address that could not speak a lick of English 5 times I told him lettuce tomato onion on my shawarma wrap 3 time with Greek salad and a order of large fries He ended up getting my order wrong and putting pickles on it and not sending my large fries so I ended up calling back told him the mistake and he didn't charge me for it that I didn't get my large fries he didn't understand so I had to speak to management after on the phone for 15 minutes I told him my situation that I got pickles on my wrap and didn't get my large fries. He said I'm so so so sorry I'm going to send you out a wrap end order of large fries it came exactly an hour late cold soggy and disgusting I would rate this company less then one but it only has five stars or less so I rate it one do not order from this establishment even if you're extremely hungry and had a gram of marijuana and have the munchies Do not order from Mazza in Clayton Park Lacewood they're horrible horrible horrible customer service I end up giving my fries to my dog he got a treat because that's what they were worth but the dog liked them but then again hes bias lol !!!!! A waste of 44 $ by FAR I'll never ever ever eat there again ......I domt like to waste my money and this is exactly what I did !!!! read more

I ordered delivery for the first time from here tonight a chicken skewer and a poutine well done and both were absolutely amazing and that is / or would be The best poutine I've ever ordered except for the gravy was so unbearably salty it was nearly an inedible.. but I did because it so delicious but I hope they may lighten up on it in the future because I really would love to order it again read more

I love this place. It's always so fresh and so tasty. The Shawarma plate is spectacular. You get so much food for the price. The taboule is super tasty and the hand pickled turnips are delish. Their hummus is a bit mediocre, needs so more garlic. But the chicken is amazingly tasty as well as the garlic sauce. Even the fried are super tasty. Also, the lentils are very hardy and yummy as well. This is definitely my new go to fast food place. read more

Unfortunately I compare all chicken shawarmas I eat to what I would order at tareks Cafe. For about 10$ you get less then what you would at tareks. The chicken is off the spit, but kept warm in a table top warmer, thus making the chicken dry out by the time it gets to your plate. Lettuce, pickles, tomato, pickled turnip, and garlic sauce.... I'm assuming? The atmosphere is nice and modern, bench seats, eating bar that looks out the window. I can't say I would come back. I tried it once, and honestly It didn't blow me away. It was filling. But I wasn't leaving with a satisfied sensation if having a great shawarma. read more

Unfortunately nothing was good just lettuce was fresh only positive thing that I can tell . chicken shawarma plate sovlaki plate and poutine was the worst one the gravy sauce omg no no more mezza at all read more

I used to love this place, but I have found after it became successful, the quality and customer service have declined. In the evenings there are 6-7 staff and it seems a bother for anyone to serve the customers. The food itself tastes different and not quite as good as it used to be. read more

One of the best parts of the shawarma wraps has always been the store made pickled turnips. Not tonight. The turnips were extremely tough and not very pickled. Some of them still had the skins on them. read more

My obsession with mezza is crazy. The cravings I get for tabouli and their delicious shawarma is unreal. Almost every time I get the shawarma plate with tabouli. There is so much food that you can easily make 2 wraps (3 if you're easy on the rice). The price is also relatively cheap for the amount of food you get. The quality of food is also pretty good. The customer service at this location is great. The food is always plentiful, they remember your face, they are incredibly kind and they are fast! Mezza used to have a restaurant on Quinpool next to the oxford intersection and they decided to expand into this fast food feel.. which I think is great. Its usually pretty busy but the lines move pretty fast, unless the person in front of you orders the entire store. I have wanted to write a review for awhile but I can never take a picture because I get too excited and eat it all. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone and whenever my friends are in town - I definitely push mezza on them. I can't wait to go back! read more

Really good Greek food and the prices aren't too bad, the souvlaki plate is really good

We do like to support our local businesses. My wife and I stopped in and ordered at the new local Hammonds Plains Mezza. Our first time in. We ordered two chicken Slouvaki plates to go. The young lady indicated that they had run out of Feta cheese and apologized. We arrived home and when we opened the covers to the plates, we discovered very little but a few lettuce leaves, one olive in each plate and a thin slither of chicken - all of this for $25. I had even left a $5 tip ! This was a most disappointing first-time experience at Mezza ! read more

Surprising really liked this place. I've never had an experience with Lebanese food, but I think this was a very good start. Good middle ground price range. read more

Beware of terrible service. This location is not as efficient as other locations and the food quality is also less efficient. Customer service is terrible and I will never order from there again. As a regular customer I am very disappointed with the recent poor service from this restaurant. read more

Message/Venus in HSC is my second-place shawarma (Tarek's has my heart) and Layla has gone downhill, so I was super-excited to see they were opening in my neighborhood. I've been there three times now. I haven't had a decent shawarma yet. Fundamentally, I think the problem is that they are not carving the shawarma on the spot--they are carving it and keeping in a heated bin. By the time it gets on your pita it is dry and flavorless. I'm not in any rush to go back again. read more

As stated by others, the worst customer service. Ordered a donair plate and received chicken. This is the second time. Each time they refuse to fix or acknowledge their mistake. I'm so over this location. Save yourself the trouble. They're also the only location not available on the app. This is what happens when franchises stop caring about their locations. Want good food, go to Saj House. She actually cares about her business and customers. read more

Best casual restaurant in Halifax. The food is excellent and healthy. They have great hours since they are open late. The chicken shawarma plate is my favorite. They give a ton a food on the plate. You can choose from either Taboule salad, Fatouch salad, or Greek Salad. Plus, they have amazing turnips which they hand pickle in the store. You can choose rice or fries. Both are good. Their hummus is amazing as well. Their prices are very reasonable for Halifax. It would cost you almost the same amount of money to go to McDonald's. Customer service is usually good, but sometimes they can be a bit slow in serving you (a few times they were focused on cleaning instead of serving the customers in line). Overall, it is very high quality food for the price. I haven't found a place with such high quality food in Halifax yet. Highly recommend!! read more

Really disappointed today . Really enjoy the food and the folks that work there, but they really need to get their phone/ delivery sorted out. When I dialed the number it gave options for all locations and I selected Clayton Park. Attempted three times, but it went to voicemail....annnnnd inbox was full. It sucks, because I always recommend this location to my friends...and for pick up its great, but I feel they're losing out by not making this aspect of their business more efficient. I will continue to go for pick up, but for delivery....it's Alexandra's all the way from here on out. read more

Gross. Absolutely disgusting. How this place is so popular and able to even have more than one location I will never understand. I'd rather eat McDonald's and have stomach pain 20 minutes later than eat here. Ever. read more

I'm surprised to see several other reviews for this Mezza location that are on the negative side. This Mezza is closest to home for me, so when I get an evening Shawarma craving, this is my go-to place. I like the Chicken Shawarma plate with rice, and my wife prefers it with fries. Their fries are the rough-cut style with a savory seasoning. I like them, but I just like their rice more. Sometimes I'll get a side of stuffed grape leaves as well. read more

An average rating of 2-1/2 stars seems high. Venus was always our go to, but this was so disappointing. The taboule on the mixed plate was soggy, everything else was mediocre and it's as if they found the worst dusty old piece of pita to toss on top of the plate. The donair took forever to make (isn't this supposed to be the epitome of fast street food?) three people who ordered mixed plates and Shawarma platters after me, had to pass me in the line because their orders were made while I waited for my donair. The result was that my grilled pita sat with cold tomatoes and onions on it waiting for meat and sauce so long, that the finished donair was cold and soggy. No delicious crunchy meaty bites here and no delicious sauce dripping down my chin. The new decor and marketing is fantastic! Kudos. But I think mom and pop would be very disappointed in the food at the CP location. The best food this chain ever produced was at the Hfx Shopping Centre location when it was still Venus. read more

I ordered a large donair because when they first opened in Clayton Park, I had the best donair ever... the meat was perfectly crispy and spicy and full of flavour, and the pita was nicely toasted and held together perfectly. This time the meat wasn't fried and was chewy without flavour and not at all spicy, the pita wasn't toasted and fell apart, and it definitely wasn't as large. Their quality went way downhill since they opened. read more

Just waited 21 min. For a small donair and gave it to me in the tinfoil not in a bag, terrible service
