Mezeh Mediterranean Grill

Great place for lunch or supper. The "bowls" are delicious. The counter staff was very helpful in helping me choose which ingredients. The portions were huge and they use eco friendly products. Decent seating and great lighting however I think they were short staffed as the tables were dirty and the high chairs were kind of nasty. That would NOT by any means stop me from coming back. Most moms have wipes.

The food here is great. I love the way it's set up and the staff is always friendly. Nice place for a quick lunch.

Let me start by saying that despite what you're about to read, the food at Mezeh is fine. If there weren't a Mediterranean bowl/salad place at Optimist Hall, it would feel like something's missing. Both times I've been there, it's because I've walked by other restaurants that I really like, but which just weren't what I wanted at the time. And you get to Mezeh and think, this looks good, and there's no line! Bingo! Their location in the back corner -- away from a lot of foot traffic -- explains part of that, but I have to believe other people have been disappointed as well.This time I got the Mezeh Greek salad.Problem 1: The chicken wasn't just "spicy," it was on fire. (I assume it was the chicken, but maybe some of the other ingredients had been soaking in hot sauce all day.) I'm sitting here now with the bottom of my bowl still covered in chicken. This is doubly bad because...Problem 2 (and this is the main one): The salad is just too small. They use the same brown pressed cardboard bowls that you can find all over the city. But you could lay a piece of paper over the top and then easily put it back in the printer - pristine. Definitely a difference from the appetizingly full bowls pictured in their menu. I half suspect management has told them to skimp on ingredients as a way of cutting costs amid disappointing revenues.This is the second time I've been to Mezeh, and I'm afraid it's "Two strikes and you're out." YMMV, but there's just too much competition at Optimist for me to give them another try, and if I want this kind of food... well, there are several other chains around town that have never disappointed me.

I placed an online order for pickup while we were hanging out at Optimist Hall. It had a ready order time, and I went in at the ready order time.Unfortunately they had not even started my order - which I get if you are slammed, but there was only one other patron in their food hall. Luckily they grabbed my ticket and started my order right away - they did apologize for the wait.We got the spicy meat Mediterranean Pizza which has spicy feta, mozzarella & feta, steak shawarma, lamb kefta, roasted corn, pickled onions, tzatziki drizzle, olive oil. This was amazing, I'd definitely get this again.Side note - it was clear the staff member making my pizza had not done one before as she was asking for help along the way - glad she wanted it done right. Unfortunately she only cut it once - it's a long flatbread type pizza, so there were two massive ends with the way it was cut. It is supposed to be cut into smaller slices. I didn't notice this until I had gone to the patio seating, and had to go back in for utensils to cut it in order to eat it. So this is just a note to check to make sure it's cut properly before you leave or make sure to get utensils. Definitely recommend as one of the spots in Optimist Hall, just need to perfect service a little bit to get to 5 stars.

I like getting my 'salad made from scratch' and that's Mezeh's slogan. Nice set up. My salad was delicious but a little too hot for me. The atmosphere was not energetic but kinda helpful.

Went to pick up an online order. Staff were not prepared and how are you a brand new business in a new establishment (4 weeks) and you have a B grade??? This business uses too many "fresh" ingredients and has pre heated food items to have a bad sanitation grade. That's all sanitation, handwashing, and poor food temp. I didn't order a side of food poisoning. No thank you.

Ordered a bowl with chicken kebab and shawarma. I received like 3 pieces of chicken in the bowl. Avoid the morrocan carrots as they over power everything. Too much Ras. The bowl was fresh and a decent lunch. I'll go back again, but will avoid the carrots, and will try another protein.

Optimist Hall is a great spot, chill atmosphere. I was craving a gyro and Mezeh hit the spot!

Excellent service, and delicious food, the waitress who served us was super attentive, affectionate and very kind, very good job, thank you, it feels good to be in this place... I recommend this place!!!!

Portions are good, awesome variety on the sides, love all the pickled options. Recently added some screen menus to help out the newbies.
