I am mesmerized by all the selections at Mezzeme! The soup, beyti, and mezze plates were absolutely amazing. The truffle fries were so yummy too! I also tasted a little bit of the salmon from my friend's order. It was cooked over a wood fire, and the taste and aroma were incredible. Now I know exactly what I'll be ordering next time! We finished with cold baklava and Turkish tea--what a beautiful feast to end a Sunday night. Highly recommended! read more

I stopped by MezzeMe on a whim when I was looking for lunch in the Triangle and I'm glad I did! [[HIGHLIGHT]]I arrived around 1pm on a Wed and it was pretty hopping so don't expect it to be empty just because its a weekday![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I put in a to-go order for a kibbeh wrap; the price seemed typically high for the area, but when I got my order its quite a sizable wrap so all-in-all a pretty good deal! The food did take about 20 minutes to come out- I wasn't going to complain as there was a line of people the whole time so I could tell it was busy, but when I did get my food they apologized for the wait and gave me some free baklava so even if there had been hard feelings that would have 100% fixed it lol I'm a huge baklava fan and had actually been considering adding some onto my order but didn't because of the long line! So service was great, but most importantly- the food! The kibbe wrap was huge; I managed to finish the whole thing but in two different sittings lol. The kibbe was generous, and the pieces were flavorful and juicy. The veggies were fresh and crisp, and the whole thing was lightly sauced but the flavor of the kibbe popped enough that I didn't think it needed more sauce. Delicious and I would 100% order again. Plus the (free!) baklava was top notch! Sometimes you get the ones where the filo dough is a little tough/chewy and it still tastes great but the texture isn't there- not with this baklava! It was tender, delicious, and a perfect end to the meal. Parking was limited on the street but I believe the Triangle has garages also- I was able to snag a short term parking spot for MezzeMe which is actually why I originally decided to check it out! read more

Ordering this for delivery definitely did a disservice to the food BUT I will say there were some wins here. Lamb beyti - loved the flavors here, kinda was giving a Mediterranean take on ravioli in the to-go box. Not sure if that was meant to happen, but we enjoyed this and the sauce on it! Chicken shish kabob - The wrap was massive, missed on flavors here BUT quantity was more than enough. Falafel - about average? Overall the lamb beyti carried, and I'm curious to try everything more fresh! read more

Note: this review is from a DoorDash order We had a wonderful time sharing the mezze platter, the beauty and the beets salad, and the sweet summertime salad. The mezze platter was mostly fantastic--though the red pepper hummus wasn't quite to our taste, everything else was delightful. I absolutely loved the beauty and the beets salad! Next time, I'll remember to ask for the dressing on the side to keep it fresh and crisp. The sweet summertime salad with berries and spinach was truly delicious; we just wish the dressing had been on the side this time, so it wouldn't have made the salad soggy during delivery. I liked the ingredients. I wish I were in the restaurant to order it as I needed it to be. read more

Another nice meal today. I had the Mezze Meatballs. They were soft and easy to cut even with my fork. The veggies (onion, cabbage, relish) and cucumber tzaziki sauce that are on the side with the meatballs and rice added a real nice flavor. The food came fast and with a smile! The place was clean including the outdoor seating. Thanks Mezzeme! read more

Came here as our first stop for dinner while on vacation in Austin, and we were pleasantly surprised with this place. We really enjoyed our Lamb beyti and it was our first time trying it, we are hooked now! We also ordered the honey cake and the baklava cheesecake and they didn't disappoint! Our favorite was the cheesecake, it was so fresh and not overly sweet. We also had some black Turkish teas offered to us for free by the manager, or the owner, super nice guy. read more

Really good food here. Service is good. Complementary bread if you dine in. I recommend trying the turkish beer The portion sizes are fitting for the price.

THE BIG: Mediterranean Turkish spot in the Triangle of Central Austin. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Homey interior with outdoor seating available.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Parking is plenty with garages around. THE BLACK AND WHITE: [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is always busy![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We came here on a thursday afternoon for dinner and you first order at the front, then you get a number and the dishes get brought to you. Also at the front is the dessert displays, which is smart because we definitely got one. For food, we got the iskender, lamb beyti, and roasted red pepper Hummus. The bread is a lil stale but that's not suppose to be the main part of the meal. The iskender was nice and hefty however the star of the show was the lamb beyti. Lamb was cooked perfectly and wrapped around the pita with a nice serving of yogurt. To round out the meal, we got a baklava cheesecake pistachio dessert for dessert. All desserts are made in house and daily. It was so good with the filo serving as the crust and the cheese being super creamy. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Overlal the damage done was about $75 for the feast. Highly recommend this place as the flavors, atmosphere and service was top notch. Will be back soon. read more

I found this place to be delicious. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is it seems to be hit or miss with the clerks at the front. Some go above and beyond to be delightful and helpful, and there are some that seem like they'd be okay if I just left and didn't get anything. I appreciate the price point on this place and the ease in which one can get in and out. Lines move quickly here and the menu is delicious. read more

We visited MezzeMe on a Saturday for dinner and had about a 30-minute wait. The highlight of the meal was the complimentary warm pita and hummus. The pita was soft, fresh, and delicious, and the hummus was creamy with great flavor. We also tried the Truffle Feta Fries, which were just okay--I was hoping they'd be crispier with a stronger truffle flavor. For our mains, we ordered the Forever Falafel, Lahmacun, Falafel Pita Pocket, and Chicken Shish Kebap Pita Pocket. The fillings were flavorful, and the portion sizes were generous. The only downside was that the pita pockets were served cold and felt a little dry. I'd recommend ordering the Forever Falafel and enjoying it with the complimentary warm pita instead. We finished with the pistachio baklava and honey cake, and both desserts were delicious. Overall, we enjoyed our meal and would definitely come back to try more dishes. read more

Overall: 3.6/5 [delivery] We ordered on UberEats and the food arrived on time. Governor's Mixed Kebap Plate ($26.95): The plate came with chicken, köfte meatballs, ground lamb kebap (adana), ezme, pickled red cabbage, onion, rice, and a sauce. I chose the crazy grain rice which is a mix of black rice and lentils, and the spicy harissa sauce. The ezme, pickled red cabbage, and adana were my favorites. The chicken was good too and the köfte meatballs were my least favorite of the bunch. The pita bread was also fire and super fresh, honestly one of the best I've had when it's heated up and warm. The box was completely packed and was easily enough for 2 meals or to share between 2 people. Zucchini Yogurt with Fresh Dill and Walnuts ($3.25): Not a fan. It had a sour aftertaste with a citrusy zing that made me think this went bad. Chicken Lemon Orzo Soup ($6.99): Came with chickpeas, shredded chicken, and orzo. It was really yummy, especially paired with some sourdough bread I had on hand. read more

We arrived at noon, party of 4, it was busy with no tables available. Stood in line then were told what we already knew then asked to get out of line and would let us know when we could sit and she would take our order. Great. About 30 minutes later we had a table and were told to get back in line. Thought she was taking our order?? Poor communication with a language barrier with most staff. We ordered and our food came out one at a time. All foods were not hot, nor warm. The falafels and truffle fries were already cool by the time it made it to the table. Soups and entrees also were not hot, a slight warmth next to cool. The desserts were the highlight of the meal. The pistachio cheesecake was delicious, the carrot baklava great but tasted like a standard baklava, the layered honey cake wasn't bad, it was slightly dry in my opinion. Drove over 20 miles and not sure it's worth it unless they open one more northwest of Austin with larger space and better management. Parking is limited however there is a garage available with free parking. read more

I come here exclusively for the pistachio baklava cheesecake. The parking situation is a bit of a headache but totally worth it. I've only ever ordered takeout at the counter so I can't speak to the dine-in experience, but the service is smooth and efficient. Dessert is ready in about 5 minutes and food orders during busy dinner hours have taken around 20 minutes, which honestly wasn't bad at all given how packed they get. Everything is always packaged nicely and securely, and the food is consistently delicious. They also carry other sweets worth trying like honey cakes and pistachio baklava. On the savory side, some dishes I've really enjoyed are the Mezze Platter, Beef and Lamb Doner, and Ribeye Steak Shish Kebab. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's not super loud but the front can get a bit overstimulating when it's busy, so if you're not a fan of crowds I'd recommend coming outside of peak hours.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This most recent time, I didn't realize until I was home that they forgot to pack one of the baklava cheesecakes I'd ordered. They were able to refund me over the phone when I couldn't come back to pick it up. Highly recommend! read more

Wow! This place was fantastic! The food was so delicious. Little wait time and served with fresh pita. We can't wait to try more items on the menu! We will be back read more

If I could eat here every day I would- it's honestly that good. This gem has big portions for a reasonable price and it's GOOD. Mezze platter is a must- you get to sample the different dips and it's served with hot pita bread. The lamb beyti is huge!! It's super rich- lamb wrapped in dough. But just split with some people because it's a wonderful dish to try. The governors plate is also a great mix of seasoned meats served with some veggies and rice! Everything we had here was great. Nothing was "just ok". I came twice in a week because I was thinking about their hummus topped with olive oil. To top it off, service is awesome. read more

Portion sizes were quite good and we had leftovers as well! The complimentary pita was so soft and pillowy pairing well with all the meats that were juicy, tender and cooked to perfection. Also enjoyed the sides that came with it which were very refreshing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Good spot for a casual meal![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

My favorite spot for quick and classic Mediterranean food. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love the order at the front and find a seat style establishment.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] All of the workers are super nice and the restaurant has a really comforting homemade vibe. They provide complimentary pita bread and hummus which are so good it's almost addicting. I always order the chicken or lamb plates because they have everything you could ask for. The meats are always cooked and spiced to perfection and I am a sucker for pickled vegetables for which there are many. I love combining all the ingredients and wrapping them in the pita bread. Mediterranean food is great because there's so many ways you can mix and match your meal. I usually never shoutout the drinks at a restaurant but their house iced teas are so refreshing and I always need to have it to wash down the food. read more

When you first walk into the restaurant, you'll order from the cashier. The person working at the counter was very friendly and made great suggestions for first timers. After you're done ordering, you'll take your number and sit down at a table of your choosing. They'll bring the food over to you. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant kind of reminds you of Chipotle? But slightly homier and where the kitchen side of the restaurant is blocked by equipment.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I lived in the Middle East for a few years and have enjoyed my fair share of Turkish food, so my standard might be a bit high. We ordered two dishes, the Mezze Platter and the Governors Plate From the Mezze Platter, I did enjoy the first dip of hummus, but I thought it got a bit dry towards the middle since the olive oil wasn't drizzled on top. The texture reminded me of dry Greek yogurt. I was a bit disappointed with the governors plate. The lamb kebab was the best out of everything. All the other meats tasted really dry, almost as if they microwaved left overs or meats that were sitting around. Overall the service was great and the food tasted somewhat healthier and light, but not the best Turkish food I've had read more

Great family-owned Mediterranean restaurant! The food is always fresh and delicious, the portions are generous, and the prices are very reasonable. They have a large menu with plenty of options, so there's something for everyone. It's always busy, which says a lot about how good the food is. Great neighborhood spot and just a few blocks from me. Highly recommend! read more

I've either eaten here or gotten takeout from here several times before. Most times, it's been reasonable, but recently their Adana kebabs have become obnoxiously salty. They were seasoned just fine before! I've been favoring their Iskender for lunch, which hits the right notes. Tomato sauce and meat slices over chunked up pita bread, and a side of yogurt to balance it out. They provide a grilled shishito pepper on the side, with a grilled tomato and some parsley. If dining in, it comes on a platter. Their other entrees come with a standardized set of sides: usually rice, ezme salad, pickled red cabbage, sumac seasoned red onions, and tzatziki sauce. Also comes with a pita. Their salmon comes on a thin plank and seems to be cooked well. Their falafel are flat cylinders that are reasonably tasty. The stuffed grapes leaves here are small, but still mighty. They are more spiced than they are sour. You order first at the counter. They'll give you a number and you find a place to sit. Your food will be brought out to you. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is a mix of tables, both low and high, as well as some booth seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Their menu uses icons to indicate inclusion of certain types of ingredients or allergens. This can be helpful for those wishing to stick with or avoid certain foods. Lastly, the restaurant is located in the Triangle. This means you'll have your pick of 2 hr packing slots, try out the parking garage, or wait for someone to leave. read more

Came here for the first time yesterday with my boyfriend and absolutely loved everything we tried! The hummus was a great size and super yummy. The lamb beyti was insane!! Super flavorful and tender and also a great size, totally worth the price. The chicken shish kebap was also an insane portion and delicious. I definitely recommend getting the garlic aioli with it. We also tried the cheesecake which I thought was good but I was so full that I honestly could have skipped this.

One of my favorite Mediterranean spots in Austin! I came for lunch on a Wed. and the place was popping! The outdoor lot is small, but there are plenty of parking spots in the garage near by.

Recently visited MezzMe and was genuinely impressed -- definitely a place I'd come back to. We started with the Iskender kebab -- presentation was . The meat was juicy and tender, topped with a rich tomato sauce, and the yogurt added a perfect balance. The bread soaks up all the juices, making every bite incredibly flavorful. You can tell this isn't just "Turkish food" -- it's made with real attention to detail. For the main course, we had a mixed grill: doner, kebab, and chicken. Everything was cooked just right -- nothing dry, with a nice charcoal flavor. The doner stood out in particular -- very juicy with great texture. The rice was fluffy, sides were fresh, and the sauces complemented everything well. We also tried the pide (a Turkish-style flatbread/boat pizza). The dough was soft inside with a crispy crust, and the topping was rich and well-balanced. Overall: -- generous portions -- fair prices for the quality -- fast service -- casual but cozy atmosphere If you like Turkish food or just want a solid, satisfying meat-based meal -- this spot is definitely worth checking out. read more

I ordered the lamb and beef doner to-go on a Sunday night. The restaurant was pretty busy, so I am glad I didn't wait for a seat. Unfortunately, I wasn't too impressed by my meal. The meat was really dry, and I felt the dish lacked flavor overall. I also could have used more sauce. read more

Got takeout here on Valentines Day with a bunch of friends. We were excited about the varied menu, and ordered a number of different options! The food was good, but could certainly have been more flavorful! My lamb "pizza" (lahmucan) in particular was quite bland, and I wished that there was something more to spice it up (dips, salt in the filling, etc.). The falafel sandwich was probably the star of the night, and I'd definitely order that again! Prices were on par with other similar places, and the service was fast and friendly. read more

Had read about this place in an Article a few years ago when it first opened up. Stored it in the back of my mind for someday. That someday came yesterday when my niece had suggested for her birthday lunch. It's been awhile since I've been to the Triangle and was pleasantly surprised at all the different eateries. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The first impression is how cute it was and had the same vibe as Mandola's next door.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Everyone we encounter was very nice and helpful. The lady at the counter went through the menu and gave us some recommendations. We were a bit too late for the lunch special but that's okay. We ordered a small cup of the lemon chicken orzo soup, the Fire Roasted Eggplant appetizer and two plates with a Turkish Hot tea. Everything was delicious. The bread they gave us was so light and fluffy. The soup so comforting and the size of the plates were very generous as well as colorful. I got the Meatball player... A little different than I was expecting but damn delicious nonetheless! The picked cabbage and onions pulled all the flavors together along with the perfectly cooked rice.Si ended up ordering a slice of honey cake to go. They were kind enough to split the slice so both myself and niece could take home and sample. Not Overly sweet... Perfect compliment to either a hot tea, or coffee. Definitely will come back again. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The little outdoor seating is perfect for the Austin Sunshine.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Great first Impression!! read more

SERVICE/AMBIANCE: - I've been 2 different times. When I went during lunch, I ordered at the counter and they would brought the food to our table. The second time I went was for dinner on a busy Saturday night. Ordering was a bit confusing. We originally went to the counter to order, but we were told we had to put our name in a list first. The service was just okay, but the food definitely makes up for it! FOOD - There's complimentary pita bread and roasted red pepper hummus dip which was very tasty - The Mezze platter came with a combination of different sides and was a good appetizer to share - The Adana kebab was very tender and flavorful. My favorite thing on the menu and if you were to only get one thing, I would highly recommend this! - The Governors plate came with a combination of kofte, lamb, and chicken - a good choice if you want to try a little bit of everything - The Sirloin Kebab was also very good! - Dessert: the pistachio baklava cheesecake is HEAVENLY. Amazing flavor, not too sweet, and great texture read more

Found a hair embedded in my food (see photos). What was even more nauseating than the contamination was the manager's appalling attitude. Instead of an apology, he tried to blame the wind and even had the nerve to suggest the hair was ours--despite it being a completely different texture and length. When I refused his offer of a replacement--as I had completely lost my appetite--he stubbornly refused a partial refund. He even tried to deflect by lying about a soup order, claiming it was "already being prepared" to avoid cancellation, when it hadn't even been ordered. The most insulting part. He arrogantly asked, "If there was hair, why did you almost finish the food?" We only found it at the bottom towards the end of the meal. His first instinct was to accuse us of being dishonest rather than taking accountability for a major hygiene failure. Reporting this to the Health Department. Do yourself a favor and eat elsewhere where they actually care about hygiene and respect. read more
