Service is always spot on and personable here regardless if they are busy or not. Must orders here are the several varieties of fish, but for those who eat Americanized fish, they take the head and tail off but the fish fillets are not your perfectly squared of pieces. The fish is grilled to perfection and simply served with a side of either grilled veggie, yummy pilaf rice or French fries. The octopus stew is the most buttery and tender octopus you'll ever have and who can not forget their kabob selections whether you do the chicken or lamb! Stick with the mix grill plate for both though so you get to try a selection of them all. End the night with some hot Turkish black tea or string Turkish coffee with a sweet piece of baklavah or a digestive night cap of Raki mixed with a little water and you are good to go! Can't wait for my next dinner here!

I was in town on a business trip and wanted some authentic Mediterranean food that was nearby. Nick's did not disappoint. I started with an appetizer of Grape Leaves. It was enough for two people. The ingredients were fresh and they were tasty. For an entree I went with a lamb gyro platter with a side of grilled vegetables. The lamb was well seasoned but not overly salty. The vegetables were cooked perfectly. The service was attentive and quick and the ambiance was casual and all local neighborhood folks.

(yes, seven stars, because five isn't enough)…read more I genuinely do not know where to begin with how incredible Mezze Pizza and Sushi is, so let's just start with this: if you have not eaten here yet, drop whatever you are doing right now and go. I mean it. This review exists because I left dinner and could not stop thinking about it the entire drive home. From the second we walked through the door, the warmth hit us immediately. This was not the rehearsed, robotic "welcome in" you get at a thousand other restaurants -- this was real, unmistakable hospitality. The staff treated us like beloved regulars on our very first visit, checking in at exactly the right moments, refilling drinks before we even realized they were low, and radiating genuine pride in the experience they were creating for us. You can tell within thirty seconds whether a staff actually loves what they do, and at Mezze, it is written all over their faces. And then there's the food. Let's talk about the sushi first, because it might be the freshest, most vibrant sushi I have had anywhere -- kosher or not. Clean cuts, beautiful presentation, and that unmistakable taste of quality you can only get when everything is prepared with real intention and care. But the veggie pie. THE VEGGIE PIE. I need you to understand that this is not just "good for a vegetable pizza." This is one of the best pizzas I have had in my life, full stop. The crust achieves that mythical balance every pizzeria chases and most never reach -- crisp and slightly charred on the outside, yet impossibly soft, chewy and airy underneath. The vegetables were not an afterthought scattered on top; they were vibrant, perfectly roasted, clearly sourced fresh that very day, and layered with a sauce that tasted like it was made with actual love rather than poured from a can. Every single bite was an explosion of flavor and texture working in total harmony. I have genuinely thought about that pie multiple times since eating it. As someone who keeps kosher, I cannot stress enough how rare it is to find an establishment that delivers this level of quality without compromising an inch on kosher standards. Mezze does not just meet the bar -- they obliterate it. This is proof that kosher dining can be exceptional, inventive, and absolutely delicious, not just "acceptable." Mezze Pizza and Sushi has earned a permanent, non-negotiable spot in our regular rotation. We will be back again and again and again. If you are even remotely considering trying this place, stop considering and just go. You will not regret it. Also, AMAZING ambiance!!!

My Second favorite (Kosher) pizza joint in N.Y. is Mezze's…read more Their regular slice is solid. And Just the other week, I consumed a mock pepperoni slice. Though never tasting pepperoni before, I enjoyed the slice. A partner of mine had a spicy Sicilian slice. The first time she ordered it she loved it. But they seem to have changed it since, and she said it was never like the first time. Then we found out that different people make it in different ways at this establishment. The next time we ate at mezze's together they said they could put a spicy sauce on top of the slice. It was not the same. She ordered it for a third time when we went out to eat next and she said it was not the same. Mezze's whatever you did the first time with that slice let me suggest you go back to that cuz it worked. Thanks for the tasty food!

Went inside, and it felt like I was transported elsewhere and not in NYC. I liked how the entire place was decorated. There's room to move around and private sections that are closed off with curtains. Food wise, there were two menus, one that was a tablet which had more options and this other large black book. I suggest looking at the tablet. It took a while to decide what we wanted as there were so many sections. I chose the two soups, which were the dumpling langman soup and the shurpa soup. One tasted like chicken soup but with lamb instead. However, both were pretty small. For the table, we got the Manti soup dumplings, which had minced beef inside with soup inside too and beware it is hot. Also, we got the shepherds salad, but they don't have feta cheese, so we got it without that one ingredient. I would suggest this restaurant if you're interested in trying something unique such as Uzbek food.

We tried several dishes from here and they were all good quality. The best dish we had was their plov (pilaf). The meat was very juicy and the rice is so flavorful with the sauces mixed into it. The prices are very reasonable and comparable to similar restaurants in the neighborhood. My main criticism is that they are a little cheap with the portion sizes. For example, the plov was mostly rice with only a few pieces of meat. There are other Uzbek restaurants in the neighborhood that are much more generous, like Sashlichnaya across the street.
