Mezze Cafe

Awesome spot for a hookah and hot tea. The food was also amazing. This is the first hookah lounge that I have visited in Austin that has a great set up and is very spacious. The staff were prompt and welcoming.

Really lovely, lowkey spot! I only stumbled upon this place. The front patio area is really pretty, the lighting is nice and dim and I think there was a live band and belly dancer last night! So cool. The back room area is dingy and dirty looking. They honestly need to make sure the entire place is well decorated, clean and presentable for paying customers! Service was really poor and disappointing. My server was rude and inconsistent. She came to check on us a total of two times and then came back to say "are you done? We need the tea pot and glasses" this was extremely unprofessional and rude!! My party of 3 was shocked and uncomfortable after this. The food was good. I ordered the Shih Tawook plate, but she brought me the wrap instead at that point it didn't matter and the wrap costs as little less. The mint tea was refreshing and strong! The presentation of it was pretty. My friend indulged in hookah and ordered the passion fruit? It smelled nice. I didn't try any desserts on this visit but I definitely will next time around! I hope the owner takes hospitality seriously and improve with feedback! I look forward to returning to give this place one more shot because the vibe with other patrons was amazing! Music was good and the food quality on point. FYI there is a parking lot but it is tiny and chaotic! Park on the street

I was craving a gyro wrap - a real one, stuffed full, brimming with juicy meat. Stopped in a dropped $14 on what turned out to be the little bittiest street-taco-sized gyro with two whole strips of meat inside and a big pile of fries I didn't ask for or want. And they charged me $2 for water. Went home hungry.

First things first, the food is great! Everything is served hot and fresh. The falafel wrap, chicken shawarma wrap are served with fries and very delicious.Service is slow as it took over half an hour for us to get our wraps.It's a little hot to sit on the patio for lunch so we sat in the restaurant although there's limited air conditioning indoors too, especially with multiple people smoking hookah. They charge for water bottles even if you order food(WHATT??!) and prices have gone up from $9 to $13 for the wraps and $18 for the plates.Will I come here again? Probably not. But I can order takeout.

We went here on a Thursday night and I must say the service was pretty bad - they got our hookahs super late in the first place and the server was not very friendly - the main course also came in after a long wait. In terms of food - it was OK - nothing out of the world and the hookahs were good.

I found my Turkish culinary heaven in Austin! The fact that this place not only captures the essence of Turkish cuisine but also offers a selection of wines and groceries for a piece of Istanbul at home is truly remarkable. Clearly, it's a standout in Austin and a true taste of Istanbul's culinary magic! If you are a first timer, you can't go wrong with the Adana Kebab or the Iskender. Try Kunefe for dessert.

Visited during not soo busy hours for some tea, Which was good though I would've preferred a warmer to avoid our pot from getting cold. There seemed to be plenty of space to sit and I'll be back on a weekend night to see how busy it gets with belly dancing and live music. Definitely a place to try in south Austin if you are looking for Mediterranean restaurant.

So I came here attracted to a casual Mediterranean-food BYOB place and:Casual- yesBYOB - yes.... But $10 per person The food, well I consider myself a fanatic of Mediterranean food and also a fan of value. The food was just barley ok. I had the plate with Gyro meat and they barley had a few slices of protein and had no problem charging $20 for it. Well maybe I'm terrible but I'm wondering where I'm going to stop on the way home for some food... because I'm still hungry. Leaving here $30 lighter, had two glasses of my own wine and thinking this is a very competitive city and seems like there is better elsewhere.Lots of folks smoking hookah and that's cool, just not my thing really. Service was good. One guy taking care of the entire place but I never lacked for anything.

Looked for hookah, found this, rolled here, and left happy.They have awesome flavors of hookah including the special flavors such as blue moon and midnight breeze. We went with blueberry mint since we didn't have it before; absolute killer.Our meal consisted of the falafel wrap for myself and my friend ordered the shish tawook plate. We also got some Persian tea to wash it down with. The wrap was quite large and filling; a little dry but that's what the tzatziki sauce is for; also good seasoning. Enjoyed the fries as well, also well seasoned. My friend enjoyed his shish tawook plate as it had the right amount of texture and flavor. The Persian tea kept us warm and complimented the food and hookah well. A solid experience overall.I noticed the next day looking at my receipt that I got charged for a bottled water although I never received one. I'll have to keep my eye on this the next time I arrive. Check your receipts before you pay. Not too much fuss over water but always check and verify.Aside from that, can't wait to return! Also BYOB

One thing to note, is that the sheesh here is pretty good but I would rate it a 2.5They were super chill after I shattered a hookah on the ground after picking it up by the stemMy buddy slammed the tip into the tube so hard I got plastic shards in my hand-- water everywhere but great timeWhen I shattered the entire the belly dranctress took a second to make sure the place wasn't getting shot up or something, lol
