    If the bar for a restaurant is whether it accurately represents the culture it advertises, this one was a win. I visited Israel for the first time last year, and the atmosphere here was dead on, from the small child sweeping up out front, to the rather chatty sales pitch I got when I walked in, to the cuisine itself. I will say that I was a bit miffed that I thought from that conversation that I would be getting a hummus with falafel but I ended up with some pickled vegetables that I didn't really want. Nonetheless, the creaminess of the hummus, the parsley flavor that came out of my very green falafel, and the strong tahini note at the end were all winners. Having paid for an extra pita I was glad as it was just enough to get it all without a spoon. I also got a cake which was a thin wafer with a coffee-flavored icing and again a very nutty tahini flavor. I'd come back just for that. I was sad when the previous hummus place in downtown Charleston closed; the region could use something of this nature. And they appear to have a successful restaurant.

    An awesome new Middle Eastern restaurant; a welcome experience on this end of West Ashley. My pita was totally different than expected and for the better! It was a packed pocket with a side of fries. They have a small selection of exotic sodas and drinks as well. The ordering location is kind of weird. The restaurant gives off a table service vibe, but it's a buzzer and pickup at the cooking location kind of deal. Regardless, it wasn't a big hinderance to my experience. The staff was very welcoming and came to our table to ask if we enjoyed our food. Everything was worth it. Definitely check it out.

    I happened upon this business on my recent visit to Charleston. It was fairly random that I ended up eating here, and now it is a place I would go out of my way to try again and again. The prices were a little higher than I anticipated, however, the flavor and authenticity of the food is worth every penny. We ordered the humus (classic), falafel on a pita, and seasoned fries. This food was shared among three people and we all left feeling full. You order your food at the register, and then you can specify what toppings you want in your entree. I told the person behind the counter I was vegan. He said he was vegan as well and took care of filling my falafel with all the best plant-based toppings. I took my first bite of falafel and felt transported back to Israel. I have not had falafel this authentic in the US till now. I almost shed a tear as the last time I had a falafel pita like what Mazal served was when my dad was alive in 2013. It is amazing the power food has, and each bite of my food at Mazal made me feel like my dad was with me again. For specifics on the quality of Mazal's falafel, it is light, airy, and delicate. It tastes like you are biting into a cloud. There is no grittiness, there is no tough exterior, and it is not dense. The interior is a yellow-green color while the outside is a golden brown. It does not crumble to pieces. It holds its form as you take each delectable bite. The hummus, again, was exactly like what I ate in Israel. It was thick and creamy. You could taste that they use high quality tahini and there again was no grittiness. I loved the chickpeas and olive oil on top. This is something that is commonly prepared in Israel yet so hard to find in the states. I literally licked the hummus bowl clean. Finally, the fries were very nicely seasoned while not going overboard. My picky 2-year-old enjoyed the fries which says a lot! The atmosphere at Mazal is also something to note. I love how spaced out the tables are. I could eat there with my sometimes loud 2-year-old without disturbing other customers. I could also see this being a good spot for a date night or catching up with friends as each table offered a lot of privacy. For those bringing kids, I also want to note there was a changing table in the bathroom which held the weight of my toddler easily. I truly thank the owners and chef at Mazal for an unforgettable experience. I wish this business much luck and hope to visit them again on my next trip to Charleston.

    Had to check out this place after seeing all the posts & reels on FaceBook. Definitely worth the visit. I love their Doner kebab style set up where you choose what you would like in your pita. You will leave with a circus in your mouth. Top notch service too. Highly recommend.

    They really transformed the feel of this building in the best way. Very friendly staff. Had the roasted cauliflower which was simple and delicious. Also ordered smash kebab bowl. The meat is yum and various fresh topping all tasty. Love the lemon sauce! Wish the fries were crispier but overall a great experience. Will be back to try other things. Wishing them the best!

    Local Middle Eastern spot with lots of house made salads and sandwiches or bowls. Came with a group of friends and there was something for everyone!

    Really enjoyed my falafel pita today at Mazal. It was fantasticly delicious and very filling. Only $13 seems like a very decent price for such a great meal. I'll definitely be coming back to try more! Welcome to Charleston! mazel tov!! I give Mazal 10 out of 10 hearts!

I got the Chicken Shawarma Platter since that's what I saw mentioned the most in reviews. The chicken with dry, the "garlic sauce" was basically mayo, the rice was also dry and wasn't necessarily a flavor I would pick. There was one dolmas (even though the menu says 2), and it was good (to be fair, I didn't say anything about it). I imagine their greek salad would be good because the small side salad on the plate was good. For $16 though, it was pretty disappointing. When I think platter, I think more like sharing size, but this was pretty comparable to most places one person meal. I didn't finish it, but mostly because it was really dry and didn't taste great. We also got fried pickles (okay, but pretty greasy and they could really use some kind of dipping sauce), the hubs got the Ribeye Philly, he said it needed some kind of sauce and that he didn't feel the need to come back, so... nothing noteworthy. The kids got chicken fingers and fries. They polished off the fries (they were good!) but left most of the chicken fingers, I didn't try them, so... and lastly, the ambiance... if I had to pick between here and somewhere like Kairos, I'd pick Kairos... it's cleaner, they have music going, and my kids like to watch the videos of people making the kairos food. Med Diner has no music, the vibe is a bit weird (like someone cut out the middle back of all the chairs with like a saw or something), it feels a little thrown together and sad. I saw a handful of people go through the drive through while we were there, so maybe there's just something else they are better known for and we hit an off day. Just not my vibe.

I got the classic burger with Brussel sprouts. $5 uncharge to swap fries for Brussel sprouts seemed a little steep for a quick burger joint but the Brussels were actually really good. Not sure what they were cooked in but it added a bunch of good flavor and there were a few pieces that had a nice crust on them. The burger was delicious.The buns were perfectly toasted so each bite had a nice buttery crunch to it. I don't know what's in their special sauce but it really brings everything together.
