Mazah Mediterranean Eatery

Talk about cray cray set of circumstances. We were exploring the University and the hungries hit. Rebounding off a fantastic Mediterranean meal in Detroit, we're looking for quick, simple, tasty and reasonable. Yelp to the rescue. Only one mile away and everything above. If only the parking wasn't so complicated. Small price to pay.When Mrs. E. needed a clarification, the server did so with a smile and a couple of alternatives. She ended up with a very satisfying Chicken Shawarma. I insisted on the Falafel Small Sampler with the side of tahini and the pita. The Beef Shawarma pita pocket was also incredible. The price was well worth the experience. I will make it a goal of mine to get back to this town and take a cab if I have to just to eat here again!

Yum! Excellent! Great! Yes! Mazah never disappoints, phenomenal food, great service, nice atmosphere, good pricing. I have always been a fan of Mediterranean food and Mazah does a fantastic job of delivering top notch mouth watering cuisine. So I recently stopped in for lunch, I was immediately greeted and was told I could pick my table (nice plus), which I choose outside as the weather was perfect for it, and I enjoy outside dinning. My server greeted moments after I sat and was friendly and polite. I ordered the lentil soup and the grape leaves entree, which was advertisement worthy (see picture) as it was very fancy looking upon arrival to my table. My soup arrived first shortly after my order and the entree roughly right as I finished my soup (perfect timing). A homerun experience all around! This place is always very good and worth the drive in (I don't live nearby). As they have made a very satisfied customer out me I will definitely be coming back very soon! If you're looking for authentic Mediterranean food give Mazah a try, you won't be disappointed!

The service was fantastic. Food/drinks was brought out quickly. My server helped walk me through all the options until I could settle on something. I was able to sit out on the patio and it was delightful. Twinkle lights decorate the walls with flower boxes to create a sweet, soft ambiance. Im traveling for work and there is no other food I rather be having. It is flavorful and balanced with also bringing you the feeling of home. Nothing is better than a diverse family owned Resturant. I will be back as soon as I can!

Make reservations however we did come during restaurant week. Our server was excellent. They also had light music playing. If you read my reviews I don't like loud music or music that doesn't match what I'm eating. Meaning I don't want to go to an Asian spot and hear RunDmc. Well they did it right. The food was good. It didn't have the bold flavors that I'm accustomed to when eating this style of food. However our server layali saved the day. She was very knowledgeable of the menu. The lentil soup was ok and it was not hot. The chicken had good flavor and was very mosit. The hot sauce was flavorable but not spicy The place is nice. They have a small waiting area and parking can be difficult. The food wasn't memorable but Layalis service was. The was just ok because it didn't have the bold flavors we are used too.

Literally no one in Columbus makes a better falafel. No one. Their soups are amazing, the menu is easy to navigate, gluten free options abound...but honestly the falafel is out of this world (flavorful, not dry, perfect!)

Mazah looked promising from what I had read online but both service and food were just only OK. We asked to be seated on the covered patio since it felt nice outside on a May Thursday night. It was a cute little area. Two of us had just landed from a flight so we wanted a Dirty Martini. Their Dirty Martini was made with a local Ohio OYO vodka and kalamata olives. When they arrived, they didn't look that appetizing and only came with three olives each even though we asked for extra olives. The kalamata olive brine gave the martini an odd flavor but there was no vodka taste at all in the martini. One could say maybe it means it was really smooth but that's not what we thought. I ordered the Small Sampler with Chicken plus a side of Falafel. Another person in my party ordered the same Small Sampler but vegetarian with Falafel plus a Spinach Triangle. Even though my friend said he wanted it vegetarian, the server still asked if he wanted Chicken so that of course led him to ask questions again to make sure there would not be any meat on his plate. The third person ordered well done Lamb over Salad. Everything looked good at first and I was excited to dig in but we weren't given silverware so one of the guys went to grab roll ups for us.The Chicken and Rice in my Sampler Platter wasn't hot in temperature, the Spinach Triangle was cold to touch, and the Lamb was not well done as requested. The guys sent back their Spinach Triangle and Lamb Skewers. I was hungry so I just ate my food as is. The server was very apologetic and later, someone else brought the food back and let us know they don't microwave their food. That's fine but I'm not sure why she told us that because we hadn't complained about the food being microwaved. The Babaganoush wasn't like any I've ever had before. It was very creamy and didn't taste like grilled eggplant. The Hummus was a tad too creamy for my liking. I did enjoy the Cabbage Salad and the pickled veggies that came with the side of Falafel. The Chicken and Rice lacked flavor and the Falafel was ok. My friend didn't like his Lamb at all and the other guy didn't care for his Sampler Platter.We didn't care for the place.

If you want some delicious Mediterranean food run don't walk to Mazah. A charming hostess and manager, as well as excellent service by Sophia made this a memorable evening. Food is fresh and delicious and reasonably priced. Definitely don't pass on this place and take your friends!

Woah. I am blown away! After being a long time Falafel Kitchen fan, I was finally able to make it to sister restaurant Mazah and holy moley, this family knows good food. The chicken was so tender and flavorful that my husband and I got in a fight over the last bite! Sauces and bread both 11/10. Just Wonderful service, wonderful people, wonderful food.

I came here for Lebanese night, which happens on the first Monday of the month. They have a special menu of traditional Lebanese dishes and our server was great at explaining the offerings and providing recommendations.We ended up over ordering, no surprise, and got kibbeh two ways (raw and baked), a chicken meat pie, and a soup. All were delicious and were a great mix of textures and flavors. The raw kibbeh had a nice texture and much different from beef tartare, which has more of a bite, the kibbeh was smoother as its a finely chopped/ground meat. I wasn't actually sure how to eat it so I took bites mixed with the various veggies and stuff provided, either way it was delicious. The stew was also very homey and satisfying, it tasted like a really good chicken noodle soup.Definitely recommend Mazah for their Lebanese night and after experiencing it, I'm excited to return for their regular offerings!

Like dining with family. I came here for a team dinner, and we were treated like we belonged. We ordered family style: a grilled mazah platter and a mujadara salad to share. We thought we had five, but only four showed...and we had soooo much to eat! Man, this a restaurant that does not short you on food. My favorite items in the bunch were the mujadara (wonderful blend of soft and crunchy), lamb (fall-apart tender), falafel (spiced delightfully and needing no sauce). I was a little underwhelmed by the skewers, where I thought the beef was slightly overcooked. All in all, though, we had a delightful meal, we were treated well, and we will be back.
