I had been having a rough day of travel with delayed or cancelled flights and was trying to get home to KC when I arrived at the Detroit airport for a very short layover. It was probably around 6 or 7pm and I was pretty hungry, and only had a little bit of time before boarding for the next flight began, but I found this little mediterranean place near my gate and decided to give them a go. They had on their menu a mediterranean pizza which sounded intriguing to me, and the price wasn't too bad for an airport so I placed my order with the friendly cashier (seriously SO friendly for an airport), and waited for my food. When it arrived it was hot and fresh, and I was so famished I pretty much just ate it out of the box while my flight started to board. It was honestly really pretty good! I think if I was ordering it from a regular pizza place my expectations may have been higher, but for an airport restaurant it had great flavor, was reasonably priced, and filled me up. All what you need while travelling. My only regret was eating it so fast as we ended up sitting on the tarmac for about two hours while dealing with airplane issues, I could have had a meal on the plane in comfort! Silver lining was that I had eaten, as that pizza literally kept me from starving for what turned into a VERY late arrival time at home.
Food was good! Yes, it's airport expensive, but that's to be expected. Our party of 3 was seated right away, had good and timely service, and enjoyed our pre-flight meals. I tried the Chicken Shawarma Pita (comes with fries). The chicken was juicy and flavorful, and a good portion. The veggies tasted fresh, and somewhat non traditional tzatziki was good. Fries tasty as well. We also got the Lamb Burger, and Chicken Tenders. Round of drinks too.
Pretty turned off. I got about 2/3 thru my veggie cup and noticed some veggie slime. Veggies were expired. Thought I'd check the date on my hummus- Also expired. The fact that they crossed out the expiration dates to extend their time on the shelf is pretty ballsy. See pics.
Stopped at Mezza during a layover in Detroit after a red-eye flight on my way to Kentucky. I was hungry and tired, so I appreciated the quick service and relaxed atmosphere--definitely a solid airport dining option. I had the steak and eggs for breakfast. The meal was decent--nothing mind-blowing, but it hit the spot after a long flight. The steak was cooked well, and the eggs were just okay. I'd give the food a 3, but the staff and setting bumped the overall experience up to a 4. If you're passing through DTW and want something Mediterranean with a good vibe, Mezza isn't a bad pick.
I stopped here after an early morning flight, waiting for my ride. The Bloody Mary was excellent but at that price it should come with a beer snit. The breakfast menu is very limited, perhaps too limited. I had an egg sandwich with a vegan sausage and American fries. It was so-so. The Brioche bun was a bit dry and the cheese was not melted. I appreciated the availability of vegan sausage though. I know it is an airport and prices are inflated but still, could have been better. The staff and service was excellent! I was on a knee scooter recovering from foot surgery. My server and the others there were super helpful, kind and friendly! And they let me sit by the window for a great view. so great service and ambience and beverages- take the food up a notch and it would be perfect.
On 23APR2024 on a connection in DTW, I thought I would give Mezza a try for something different than fast food. Natalie was a very pleasant server. I ordered the pan seared salmon with green beans, carrots, and garlic mashed potatoes. My food was ready in 10 minutes. The salmon was crispy on the outside and tender inside. I will look for Natalie at Mezza during my next DTW connection. Good food, good service, and reasonable airport prices!
When you're stuck in an airport for two days, you get to try a few different food stops. And since the airline is paying, we'd skipped the fast food stops. Today, for breakfast, we stopped at Mezza Mediterranean. Pricy. But the food was well prepared and served hot. (My #1 pet peeve). The scrambled eggs were fluffy and light. The bacon was a bit soggy, and not as crispy as I'd prefer. The potato wedges were fried to perfection. My wife's breakfast sandwich was enough for lunch later. Again, eggs, sausage & wedges. Again, we'll prepared. Service was very good, particularly for a crowded airport restaurant. A nice way to start our day.
Mezza is a casual restaurant that serves Mediterranean food. The menu includes appetizers such as hummus and calamari and entrees such as salads, sandwiches, kabobs, and lamb. Prices are average. I had some time to eat a meal before my connecting flight, and the Mezza employees who served me did a very good job. One employee was both the seating hostess and the waitress. She promptly seated my husband and me at a table. She said a cheerful hello and said friendly words such as please and thank you. She wore a face mask, and she cleaned the tables. Here are my reviews for the foods: My salmon was nicely cooked but could have used more seasoning. On the side were carrots and green beans, which were fresh and had good flavors, and mashed potatoes, which seemed to be instant. My husband's gyro contained lots of pickles, and he described it as "fine". On the side were perfectly crispy and flavorful French fries. For dessert, we shared a baklava, which tasted good but was slightly hard to cut. The total price was $53 plus a tip.
Pros - the service was great and friendly. We were seated promptly Cons - the chicken shawarma was greasy... The tomato soup was flavorless, hummus was too sour and the cheese burgers were too chewy. The fries were in point though!
We stopped for some breakfast before our flight. The service was friendly and quick, they had a very simple menu to facilitate quick service. Pricey for what you get, but what can you expect at the airport.
We dined here for lunch on a leisure trip full of adventure. Our plans didn't originally call for a layover in DTW airport, but it happened anyway due to mechanical issues on our original flight and a burning desire to still make it to Montreal during the same day. The good news is that we had Delta food vouchers to burn and a hunger for Mediterranean food. We were promptly greeted and seated. Menus were provided and we selected the carrot appetizer, salad (big enough share), lamb burger and chicken shawarma. A tasty meal with good ingredients that was served quickly. This place also has a bar with beer, wine and cocktails, which we didn't try this time. Service was friendly, but due to the limited number of servers, a bit rushed. We would dine here again in the future if we have a taste for middle eastern food. read more
Unfortunately, I didn't have a flight that could get me into a lounge, so I made a stop at Mezza. I was actually excited to try it as it's almost always closed when I'm at the airport. The tabbouli was closer to pico de gallo which was really weird and the service was meh at best. I'm usually down by Plum Market and will probably stick to that if I can't get into a lounge. read more

My list of bad airport eateries is apparently bottomless. Or these eateries think I'm bottomless because they don't give a moment's thought that their customers are about to board long flights when turbulence and delicate constitutions stand between you and the tiny cabin restroom. Given that frightening forethought, I tried to order smartly here but realized there was no such nutritional path here. I tried their so-called Crushed Lentil Soup for $5.99. Not only were the lentils crushed but the vegetables were minced. In other words, they served overheated, watery pulp (photo: http://bit.ly/2uTKkHJ). For what amounted to my main dish, the $11.99 Greek Salad looked like it was put together with a hand mixer and the feta cheese crumbles thrown in as an afterthought (photo: http://bit.ly/36NKs93). Guess I should've known better. FOOD - 1 star...pretty much a total miss AMBIANCE - 2 stars...lots of impatient diners with rollaway luggage SERVICE - 2 stars..."Hi Hon!", then crickets TOTAL - 1 star...no oompah here RELATED - Hungry at the airport?

I've eyed Mezza during many o' layovers in DTW and finally had a long enough layover to pop in, eat and get some work done this past week. It was the Rainforest Cafe-like olive tree in the center of the restaurant that kept luring me over to the menu. My early morning breakfast experience consisted of iced coffee and the egg white greek omelette with feta, olives and greens. It was quite tasty and on the lighter side. The part that made it less light was the accompanying crispy potatoes and wheat toast but I'm not complaining. My server was friendly and speedy and I appreciated the bar space overlooking the main hallway of the airport with plentiful outlets and great people watching. If you have enough time to sit and eat during your travels, this spot is t too shabby. read more

Some of the best airport food I've ever had, and I travel a lot. I didn't notice the poor Yelp reviews for this place until after I had stopped in here during a quick layover. I'm glad I didn't, however, because I had a great experience. I was traveling solo, but unfortunately the bar was full, so I sat at some seating along the back wall. The Service was extremely quick and friendly and even asked what time my flight was to ensure they'd have enough time. I ordered the Greek Salad and it was fantastic. Super fresh veggies and I really liked the dressing. I also ordered the Greek Pizza and added Chicken to it. The pizza was giant and absolutely full of flavors. I brought leftovers home with me and literally ate this pizza for like 3 meals. As stated, this was some of the best airport food Ive had anywhere. I ordered a beer along with my meal and was in and out in 20 minutes with time to spare to catch my next flight. If you're looking for a good airport meal that's quick this is your spot. read more

Tried this place on route home and got the Chicken Kebab Plate ($17.59) with salad instead of almond rice. The plate comes with grilled veggies (eggplant, zucchini, and tomato) and 6 pieces of kebabs. There also was a pretty tasty garlic sauce which was disappointingly packed in a plastic container. I wish it was just served in a plate instead of that plastic cup. I wasn't too impressed with the kebab because they were really dry. They either need to be marinated for a longer time or grilled for a little lesser time. Whatever the problem is, they weren't great at all. Also, their menu is a bit expensive. I thought $17.59 for just 6 pieces of kebabs was a bit too much! Service however is pretty good and the seating area was clean and refreshing. read more

First time that I seen a tabouleh with red onions and no burgul ... yuck , stay auntentic . Couldn't eat it.. also I understand you might be closing the place and I understand staff might be tired but there is no need for a dirty looks of annoyance when you order something else at last call. read more

On a layover here in the Detroit airport and wanted something that wasn't the usual (burgers, Mexican, etc.). Ended up here in the A terminal and boy was I impressed. Ordered the kabob plate and a side order of fresh outta bread. Everything was tasty, the food came out hot and fresh and super fast. If you have time to kill and want something to eat, recommend this place. read more

That was interesting.... not sure what was Mediterranean besides the pita. Not taste and enough pickles for the rest of the year. Disappointing and it was $12.49 ... read more

I only had drinks - the pomegranatini and a beer. It took me a minute to be noticed by the server, but once we connected, he was very attentive. I sat at the bar and watched food come out - it looked good; the bowls particularly looked yummy and fresh. I'd come back the next time I'm at the airport, for sure. They have lighter, healthier options. read more
During my long layover in Detroit I decided to eat Mediterranean food and Mezza was close to my gate so why not. My waiter was awesome at explaining what was good. I already decided what I wanted though so I ordered the calamari and shawarma combo. The Calamari was just ok. Nothing great about it and super greasy. The shawarma Combo was good but the beef was horrible. The meat was hard and even my utensils had a hard time cutting. The chicken redeemed the dish. It was cooked perfectly and the garlic sauce on the side was perfect. The only reason I'm giving it two stars is because of the service and if you do end up getting the shawarma get the chicken one only and not the Combo or the beef. You'll thank me later... read more
Stopped in for a drink on our layover. No wait and quick service. We were able to enjoy a drink here on our short layover. Sitting at the rail we were able to people watch for a while. I found watching the train that moves the length of the terminal on the 2nd floor interesting to watch while we waiting on our flight. read more
Not a horrible option to grab when you don't have much time. The chicken shawarma pita took about 5 minutes until I was on my way to the gate. For $11, this has to be the smallest pita I've ever gotten. It's a joke how expensive airport food is compared to what you'd find on the street. It also came with a tiny salad but the menu didn't say that and the staff didn't inform anyone, so I didn't have a fork once I got to my gate. Overall, the taste isn't horrible but it's definitely not worth the price. The garlic sauce was tasty but very strong to have before a flight. read more
