One of the best restaurants I've been to!

I love to try all kinds of food, and when my friend recommended this place, I was just blown away. Good hummus, tasty meats, good wine. A bit on the pricy side (at least for my low income) but worth every penny, if you ask me, I had the lamb chops, which were amazing, followed by the bread pudding, which was delicious but so rich I couldn't finish it. Also nice just to sit in the place, very pleasant atmosphere. When we went, it was no longer BYOB, so it's much more convenient.

A solid choice in the neighborhood

The food is fresh and well prepared, the service above average, and the decor unique. I usually dine here for lunch a couple of times a week. Careful with their garlic sauce; it tends to linger.

The LAMB.... You owe it to yourself!

the decor is not my style, but that's the only less-than-stellar thing i'll say about Mezza. Best Baba Ganooch i've had; Mezza Salad is light, zesty, and YUM; and the signature lamb chops are IT! I don't know...

The potatoes are perfect, the grill is just right. I swear, it's like they have some kind of secret device that *pretends* to grill the food, it's so good. I don't see how it can be so consistently great....
