I'm shocked by the reviews…read more.. Mezeh is my go-to and I prefer it over Cava here's why -- The food is always flavorful. I'm talking finger licking, scraping every piece of couscous and rice lol. The customer service is friendly. I've been at least 5x and each time I'm greeted with a smile. The portion sizes will last you at least 1-2 meals which is necessary if you're feeding boys/men or a hungry mama like myself! The prices are fair. I usually spend $14 here and that's sometimes with a drink included. Overall, I'd recommend Mezeh to anyone who like Mediterranean food or is in the University Area, looking for something good. And they have a solid rewards program. In January, they had BOGO. Now, after the discount was applied I did notice an up charge that the cashier couldn't explain but other than that, my experience has been 10/10.

We visited mezeh on a Thursday around 12:15 hoping for lunch during a conference at a nearby hotel…read more The menu looked good, and honestly we really liked the food we got, but this place as a service issue. They had 4 people working: 2 doing prep, one just making online orders, and one doing in person orders. We arrived and it took 20 minutes for the 3 of us to get food with no one in line in front of us. I wouldn't think that it would take so long, but then I remember that usually places like this have the line split in half and sometimes a third person to ring orders up. By the time I got my food, there was a line of 15 people out the door, many of whom were from our conference and ended up leaving since we only have a 1-hour lunch break. The first 2 of us got a straight from the menu bowl, so it really should've been faster. I wanted a lamb bowl, but they didn't have any lamb (not having something in the menu at the beginning of a lunch rush immediately lost them a star) so I said I wanted to build my own steak bowl. The staff started automatically making me one of the menu steak bowls, so I continuously stopped them down the entire line and told them what I wanted. I think they were just confused, but it was irritating nonetheless. This place could've gotten 4 stars if they'd had lamb, 5 if they'd had lamb and had better service. I just can't justify going here unless you've ordered ahead because it took way too long.

Stopped in for dinner as I was in town on business and it was super close to my hotel. I had the…read moregrilled chicken plate and it came with two sides. I elected the fresh veggies(squash, carrots and broccoli) and fries. It was a little weird that my fries were served to me within minutes of placing my order. They were hot and seasoned well. By the time my chicken meal came the fries were gone. I was not sad as I was hungry but it was a little strange to me. The chicken was a good portion and great flavor. It was also served with a dipping sauce that resembled taziki sauce but not sure it was. Regardless it was tasty. This is a place I would go to again. They had a decent crowd as there was a buffet available if one chose. I stuck to the menu and stayed clear of the buffet. First time in NC but I was introduced to a "dine in" fee. It is not a tip but for the privilege of eating at the restaurant. It was 10%. I have never heard of this in Texas.

Peno Mediterranean Grill absolutely hit the spot. I ordered the gyro platter and let me tell you…read more.. they do not play when it comes to portions. You get serious value for what you pay. The pitas were fluffy and full of flavor, the gyro meat had that perfect little kiss from the grill that brings all the richness forward, and the salad underneath was stacked with Kalamata olives and red onions. This is the kind of food I eat all the time and it still impressed me. Solid 9.5 from me and an easy recommendation if you love Mediterranean done right.

Jasmine served us promptly and efficiently, yet never made us feel rushed. Her timing was impeccable -- drinks arrived quickly, food was delivered seamlessly, and she checked in with us at just the right moments. She has outstanding menu knowledge and confidently guided us through recommendations, which turned out to be absolutely delicious! What truly made the experience stand out was her personality. When she asked what we were celebrating and we told her it was a girls' weekend, she lit up and made it feel special. She was friendly, personal, and engaging without ever losing her professionalism. It felt like we were being taken care of by someone who genuinely enjoys what she does. Jasmine is fast, attentive, and incredibly hospitable. She represents what exceptional service should look like and honestly should be the face of service at Fume. We left so happy -- the food was amazing, but Jasmine's service is what made the experience unforgettable. Five stars all around!

Not only is the food delicious, but it's a healthy option versus a lot of what is out there. Sometimes you just want something that feels good and tastes good. I've seen several one star reviews on here mentioning wishing they had hot food or disliking sushi. To them, I ask, why are you eating at a poke place? If you don't like the entire menu/concept of a restaurant, don't leave a one star review to bring their average down when if just because of your taste in food. By the way, the KF Beef Bowl is a hot dish and they offer miso soup as a side. My mom and I came here for my birthday lunch and both got a build your own bowl. My mom has a lot of food intolerances and was able to safely eat here and enjoy her meal. We both got the passion fruit tea, and it has real passion fruit in it. Everything was delicious, and furthermore, everything is consistent. I have never had a bad dish from this place. The ambiance is chill and calm, which I appreciate. The service is kind and helpful. If you're not a sushi hater, I recommend trying this place. You won't regret it!
