Food was good and prepared in very timely manner. Rice was soft and flavorful, schwarma not bad. My sides were rice, hummus, and tzatziki sauce (costs a couple dollars extra to replace it from the salad). I enjoyed the food, however I wish they put more rice... the container was not packed and the rice was maybe at the mid point line of the small to go box, a thinner layer than what I'm used to. I normally have more leftovers too compared to other Mediterranean places. The portion could be better for the price point, but overall the food was good and worth a try.

Purchased Mezzaterranean for lunch a few days ago for take-out and wondering if I went on an off day or not. Kefta Kebab Plate ($17.99): Two small ground beef kebabs served on a bed of rice with a side of hummus, Mezzaterranean salad, and pita bread. One of our kefta orders was fairly burnt so we had to spend time shaving off the burnt bits. The meat was a tad dry and needed the garlic dip to help enhance the flavors. Purchased a side of beef shawarma on the side with the same dry-ish flavors and not very tender. Hummus and tzatziki were standard. Perhaps I need to give this place another try, but even portions were just okay compared to other Mediterranean eateries at the same price point.

Chicken Kebab Plate is great!

Interesting place, unassuming when you pull in, looks pretty inside! This place has not made up its mind yet, is is a fast food place or a restaurant? We ordered at the bar and sat down. Food came in waves, nothing special, but flavors was great, some came on plastic plates and some on porcelain, there is certainly a lot to improve but the food was great!

Chicken Kebab Plate

$18 for a chicken kebab. It didn't come with the garlic paste. It had a literal salad no pickled veggies. The chicken was ok the whole plate was ok. It was lunch for my birthday I love Mediterranean food this place is literally down the street from me so I sent my husband to get me food from here but next time I rather send him to oasis grill in Covina. It's affordable and they send the works in their plates

Pita Bread

Met a girlfriend here for lunch yesterday. We couldn't figure out what we wanted to eat, so I looked on yelp as we both like Mediterranean food. I'm so glad I found this place! We both ordered the Chicken Kebab Plate. OMG!! Everything was incredible! The chicken was juicy and tender, the rice was delicious, the hummus was incredible, and the salad was great. The pita bread was really good. It wasn't soft and thick like I'm used to. It was thinner and tasted homemade. The man who took our order (might have been the owner) was very nice. He told us to ask for more pita bread when we were ready, as they don't like it to get cold. Of course, we did ask for more pita bread. I can't wait to go back and try something else. I highly recommend this restaurant if you are in the area and craving Mediterranean food!

Falafel Sandwich & 16 oz. Lentil Soup

What a fantastic place to eat. In a small strip mall but a large space. The service was friendly and accommodating. Made sure we were satisfied and offered extras. My coworker and I both had lentil soup that tasted amazing with plenty of ingredients that was not skimpy. Served extra fresh and hot. The sandwich was top tier with plenty of ingredients to make it full and satisfying. The falafels inside were vegan which had a nice crispy not too fluffy. Offered us hot sauce and wow that was perfect amount of heat. You can really taste the ingredients in the food which is very refreshing not to have sauce cover the flavor. Both my coworker and I walked away knowing this place was a gem! Thank you Mezzaterranean. Defiantly gained a new customer.

Order counter. Ring bell, if no one's there.

First visit and left very disappointed. I was meeting my wife for lunch and arrived about 5 minutes ahead of her. There was a chime on the front door, so the staff should have been alerted to my entrance. I stood by the order counter and took a couple photos for this review, then sat down at a table directly in front of the counter/cash register. No one came out to greet me or ask me if I was ready to order. Once my wife arrived, we stood there looking at the menu, then finally had to ring a bell to get someone to come out of the back and wait on us. The menu boards have no prices, so we had to look at a "to go" menu to figure out what was what. The staff was not very friendly, and later we saw a woman who was sitting at one of the tables, with a friend, get up and go behind the counter and take someone else's order. Was she an employee/management and just ignored us when we came in? FOOD: My wife initially tried to order the Beef Kebab Plate ($17.99), and was told they were out of beef (and this was at noon, lunchtime). She ended up getting the Lamb Kebab Plate ($20.99), and I ordered the Chicken Kebab Plate ($15.99), and two cans of soda. Both kebab plates were served with rice, hummus, Mezzaterranean salad, and warm pita bread. We waited 30 minutes from ordering to delivery at our table. There was only one other couple who had ordered before we arrived and were waiting on their food. A man came in after us, and received his food about 10 minutes before us. We had also ordered a "to go" item, the Feta Cheese Cold Mezza ($9.99), which was served with sliced cucumbers, tomatoes, and drizzled with olive oil. Both kebabs were a little on the dry side, and not too flavorful, but we did enjoy the fetta cheese mezza later that evening. Unfortunately, I don't think we'd visit again, as it wasn't a very good experience, and the food was mediocre at best. It's too bad, as we were looking forward to a new, local Mediterranean eatery.

The chicken was so juicy and tasty! Came here for a team lunch and we were treated with the utmost care.

Michelle M.

Attended a meeting where we ordered from Mezzaterranean, and it was served fresh, and delicious. I had the chicken kebab plate with rice pilaf, hummus and salad. All very tasty. I cannot comment about the restaurant or staff as we did not eat in house (hence 4 stars vs. 5), but the food is high quality. Looking forward to trying more stuff on the menu.

$27.50 for this is insane. The piece of salmon is the width of my finger and the size of my palm.

If you're looking for the definitive Lebanese experience in the IE, this is the order to beat. The Breakdown: * The Trio Grill: You get a sampling of everything--chicken, beef, and kefta kebabs. The chicken kebab was the standout for me; it was incredibly tender and had that perfect open-flame char that you just can't replicate at home. * Baba Ghanoush: This was a smoky revelation. You can taste the fire-roasted eggplant in every bite, and the texture was perfectly whipped and creamy without losing its soul. It's easily some of the best in the area. * Tabouleh: So many places use too much bulgur, but Mezzaterranean does it right. It was a bright, herbaceous explosion of fresh parsley and lemon that cut through the richness of the grilled meats perfectly. * The Extras: It all comes together with their fluffy rice and warm pita. Pro tip: use the pita to make little "mini-tacos" with a piece of chicken, a dollop of baba ghannouj, and a pinch of tabouleh. The Verdict: The portions on the Trio Plate are massive (definitely enough to share, though you might not want to). Everything tasted fresh, vibrant, and authentic. It's clear this family-run spot puts a lot of heart into their recipes. 10/10, will be back for more of that garlic sauce!

While the chicken and beef looked aesthetically pleasing the texture was a little bit on the drier side for my taste. The rice was good. The salad looked sad and not appetizing, I didn't even eat it and I HATE wasting food. My pita bread came inside a "PITA DOUX" package; as if it was purchased from a store and left in the bag it was purchased from. I essentially paid $27 for 5 pieces of beef and 6 pieces of chicken and some rice :( I won't be coming here again.

Everyone loved the food, and it put a huge smile on my face the whole time I ate there. At the end, they gave me complimentary snacks. The owner, Omaya, is such an amazing person, and her hands truly know how to cook and bake. All the food and baked items are handmade and fresh.

We try to stay on the healthy side so we opted-out of the side of rice for the salad and it set in well with the beef. The grilled haloumi cheese has a great texture, flavor and not too salty as one would expect. It comes with sides of tomato and cucumber slices so it works to clear the pallate in between bites. Now we all know how busy this place can get so I always recommend coming on weekdays if it fits in your schedule. If you come for dinner or on a weekend, allocate some extra time for your wait. They do have a covered patio now and as we get closer to warmer weather, it will work out fine. Come and make your way around the menu as there are many savory plates to experience with family & friends. Share and experiement!

We opted for the dinner package, which came with choices of 3 cold appetizers, 3 hot appetizers, salad, 3 choices of meat, and rice for $55 per person plus tax and gratuity. The belly dancing show started at 8:30pm and was entertaining. The dancer really engaged with the audience.

My only complaint is the waitress was a bit much. We already ordered a lot of food, mind you, but every opportunity she had, she kept pushing to order more and then mentioned there would be an extra charge. She also wanted to charge us for 8 people even though we had 7 people at the table.
