Meza

I attached a pic but we had already started eating, ah! I got the eggplant dish and it was so good! It came with a delicious salad. We got the pesto humus for app and instead of pita (can't have it) they sliced cucumber and I found that a nice effort! There was only a little pesto in the humus. I enjoy pesto so I was hoping for more that would be the only improvement I would suggest from what we chose. Would recommend!

I was in town for a week and had the wonderful opportunity to meet up with a friend that I hadn't seen in 4 years!Meza is in Village Center within Baldwin Park. It's such a beautiful area. Meza is on the end of a row before you get to the end of the village center shopping/restaurant area. There is indoor and outdoor seating. My friend was waiting on me seated when I arrived. It was a quiet Monday, late afternoon at 5 when we arrived, and Clare was our amazing server. We started with drinks, and once we stopped chatting enough to look at the menu, we ordered our meals. I ordered the lamb kabobs w/ a garden salad, and my friend ordered the salmon w/ a garden salad. Both entrees came with jasmine rice and the most amazing sautéed vegetables. I asked for a side of tzatziki to accompany my meal and Wowsers, soo soo good!! I felt like I was back in Greece. Every single bite of everything was absolutely delicious. I rarely give out 5 stars, but Meza deserved every star plus extra. The salad was super fresh, with just enough dressing. The lamb was prepared perfectly and seasoned to perfection. The rice was perfect and the vegetables were amazing. It was so good that I ordered a second entree to take back to my resort to share. And how could I forget the baklava...delicious. Clare was absolutely amazing from start to finish, we loved her. I would definitely recommend Meza to everyone.

Came in on a weeknight at 6ish. Only about 5 tableS taken. No one came to greet us and get us seated. We had to flag down the one server.They don't have buy-the-glass Happy Hour wine discount anymore even though it's still in the menu. They gave us the $2 off but it was a confusing hassle. Pesto hummus was good. Lentil soup was good and massive serving. Lamb kebob was way overcooked, so we asked the other server to send it back - he then said he had cooked it. Not cheap for what it was; better and same price at Bosphorus in Winter Park. This restaurant is okay; would be great if it had more staff. Feels like it's running on a shoestring. Wanted to like it and honestly felt sorry for them - three stars was generous. Wish they could slim the space down and give it a more homey vibe, have better service, and have a more reasonably priced (smaller is fine!) mixed appetizers plate. TL/dr: great location, meager service, food is fine but not amazing Mediterranean cuisine

What a nice place to sit outside and have a good meal and people watch. Unfortunately they were out of the wine we wanted but we found a nice replacement.Our server let us just relax and chill with wine and the hummus appetizer and didn't rush us to order. The hummus was super tasty with cucumber, carrots, and warm pita bread. When we ran out of pita bread, the server brought more without us even asking for it. The chicken salad pita was very good, but nothing over the top about it. My hubby had a Gyro and it was a little dry but the meat was good. We devoured the Lentil Soup.We love to eat here for the easy chill vibe.

Meza is a beautiful restaurant and a worthy stop in spot for a sit down lunch if you are passing through Lake Baldwin's downtown area. We went around 2 PM on a weekday so it was a bit lighter, but we were still serviced promptly and professionally by the team. Food (main entrees) took a bit of time to come out to the table, but an appetizer held us over. It was nice to see them interacting with regulars as well. The atmosphere is nice, a glass of wine from their displayed collection would be a good accompaniment to any entree here. If you are looking for good Mediterranean food, you can't do much better in the Lake Baldwin area. A bit pricey per person, looking at maybe spending 30 to 40 per person depending on drinks and appetizers. One of those places where you could probably do much better expense wise splitting a dish between two people.

We made the most out of lunchtime at Meza The neighborhood is very walkable so it was easy to spot from the street. The inside is big with a bar and a variety of table options.We started with the trip dip as an appetizer and though the tzatziki was my favorite, the other two did not disappoint. They also gave us cucumbers to dip with since our gluten free guest couldn't use the pita bread. The falafel was also really flavorful and crispy, paired with another yummy dipping sauce. The wings took about 30 minutes to prepare but they were piping hot and worth the wait. They have a smoky, garlicky flavor I enjoyed.Meza also offers takeout so you can swing by and get a good meal on your way home. There were plenty of veggie options as well, making it a go to if you're looking for a healthy

My Dad and I decided to have to have Mediterranean as it's been a long time and always loved it. We started off with the Meza Hummus (hummus, small diced meat, sautéed onions and pine nuts) which was very good. (sorry forgot to take the food pictures, my bad). My Dad ordered the Salmon which came with rice and mixed veggies (carrots, zucchini and squash) and I ordered the Combo Kabobs (Beef and Chicken with similar sides). The presentation of the food was very nice, very fresh and looked very appealing, but it lacked flavor. We found the food to be bland and Dads Salmon was overcooked. Our server Jason was awesome, professional, attentive and very helpful with the orders; we also loved the ambiance of the restaurant (photo included), Everyone's taste buds are different and also depends on how the chef's feeling that day (everyone's entitled to have an off day). This was just "our" personal experience. We've been to other Mediterranean restaurants in the past and found them to flavorful and delicious. Maybe the other dishes are more flavorful but unfortunately I don't see us coming back anytime soon.

This place is so under appreciated. Everyone in or near Baldwin Park should visit. The food is fresh and delicious. The staff are friendly and attentive. The prices are reasonable and appropriate. All around a fantastic -- a consistently fantastic -- hidden gem. Big fan!

Loved this place food was delicious! Definitely try the trio dip as an appetizer definitely won't disappoint. The drinks are good too. Would definitely return and highly recommend.

Nothing special, I don't understand a 4 star rating. Had the triple dip appetizer and the Haloumi, and we left after to go somewhere else. The tzatziki had way too much dried dill making it taste like a pickle dip, and the Haloumi was more a cheese panini on Cuban bread. They close at 9 but shut their kitchen down at 8:15, which I feel like they should advertise, but we were not planning on eating more there anyway.
