Mezza Lebanese Kitchen

Very nice place! The food is great, fresh and delicious. The staff is friendly and extremely helpful. There was a girl, named Jassy - sooooooo nice and friendly! Very polite and she did her best to fulfill our request.

Ordered the mixed grill from this place through Skip the Dishes. It was decent but the meat was a little dry and the rice was soggy - like it had sat in water and soaked up the additional liquid. The donair sauce and tzatziki were both tasty, as was the Greek salad. The hummus didn’t have a lot of flavour.

The portions were a good size and the presentation was nice. Picture of the empty take-out container provided for context.

Excellent food. Nice place as a business traveller. I truly enjoyed the food. Nice music. Nice clean environment. The awards on the wall seem well deserved. Glad it was recommended to me.

My girlfriend Caroline has had the food from Mezza before, although for me it was a first. But I haven’t found good Greek food on the island, so I was very hopeful when I saw souvlaki and Greek salad on the menu, so when I showed Caroline the menu, she picked Wednesday evening for our supper date. The restaurant interior looked new, clean and well staffed, with a long line up as it was just past five pm.

I knew I wanted souvlaki but they have such a large menu that I could eat there for a week without repeating myself too often. ;)

I ordered the Mixed Grill, some stuffed grape vine leaves, and of course baklava for desert. The chicken souvlaki, while tasty was not the best I’ve had, in fact I found it a touch dry and rubbery so I’m not sure how they marinade it. Typically it’s garlic, rosemary, oregano lemon juice, olive oil, wine, and refrigerated for a lengthy amount of time to let those flavours soak in. These were disappointing in texture and flavour, I’d give them 2.5 out of 5. Okay, but I found I enjoyed the chicken shawarma meat and the donair quite a bit more. They were served with a side of donair sauce and a garlic mayo that I hope they weren’t calling tzatziki sauce, as the closest it’s ever been to yoghurt was while stored in the refrigerator, but as a condiment for the chicken shawarma it was lovely. Their hummus was good, and I enjoyed the pickled turnip. We both opted for rice, which was alright.

The grape vine (Dolmades) leaves were stuffed with the rice, and olive oil soaked lovely flavour. A touch sour but oh so lovely when I’d not had any for years! I bought three and shared one with Caroline, which left me with 2.5. Lol. Next time I’ll settle for one.

Caroline and I both had the Greek salad with the meal, and I’m a bit indifferent to the dressing they used. The olives were pitted which Caroline liked, but I prefer them with pit for the flesh of the olive is tastier and firmer I find. I wish the salad had a bit more onion and feta.

The baklava, crisp on the top, nutty in the center, and honey soaked bottom, perfection.

While I would recommend Mezza to my friends and family and plan on a return visit, the souvlaki is okay at best, the staff were friendly, courteous and busy!

P.s can’t wait to try their Chicken shawarma wrap.

Excited to welcome mezza to pei. Falafel supreme was really delicious. At last island got a authentic Mediterranean kitchen. Food up to the mark. Can't wait to try more. I recommend to all Islanders. They are amazing.
