WOW!! Never was a hugeee fan of Mediterranean food until I tried Mazra for the first time and here are my thoughts: FOOD: Garlic Rotisserie Chicken (10/10): My favorite dish! The chicken was incredible; perfectly cooked, moist, tender, and not at all dry. It paired beautifully with the highly addictive garlic toum and orange hot sauce. The dish also came with a side of pickled vegetables which added a nice balance to the meat. At $18 for a whole chicken that can feed two people, it's an excellent deal! Whole Cauliflower (10/10): The BEST cauliflower I've ever had! It was roasted to perfection, giving it a delicious charred, smoky flavor. The fragrant lemon-tahini dressing added a bright acidity that balanced the dish beautifully. I would absolutely order this every time! Grilled Lamb Chops Plate (9/10): The lamb chops were a bit overcooked, but it was still really tender and flavorful. I only wish there had been more lamb and less rice, but overall, it was still a fantastic dish. Double Kebab plate (8/10): I tried the kofta (beef + lamb), lamb, filet mignon, and shrimp kebabs. The filet mignon and shrimp were my favorites, as they were more tender and less dry than the other options. Still, all of the meats were very well seasoned and flavorful. Next time, I'd opt for the fries instead of the rice, which was also a bit dry. Their fries are the best, super crispy and not too oily! Service: Wait times can be quite long (45-90mins) since the restaurant is usually busy. I wish they accepted reservations, but unfortunately, they don't. Once seated, you can scan the QR code at your table to place your order using your phone. Prices are reasonable, at around $16-$25 per plate. I also love that each dish comes with pita bread and your choice of 2 dips. Ambiance: The restaurant is beautiful, with both indoor and outdoor patio seating. The interior is warm, modern, and inviting, with a spacious layout. Overall, the food was absolutely AMAZING, everything tasted incredibly fresh and vibes were immaculate. I HIGHLY recommend giving this place a try at least once!!
Very nice set up they have. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. Always smiling. Food was very good and provably why it is one of the busier restaurants on that street. Not a long wait as busy as they were and even then worth the wait if I had to.
I came here with my partner on a Thursday evening for dinner, and we had an alright time. We waited about 30 minutes before getting seated, and inside was beautiful decorated with lots of color. You order with a QR code by the table, and the food comes soon after. It was the food that was overall disappointing. Our Spiced Ice Tea drink was watery and had no strong "spice" to it at all. The kebabs were fine, with the filet mignon being solid, but the kofta was dry. The cauliflower was good, but it was really heavy with the tahini, and the rice overall was nothing special. The lamb chops were good though, and we enjoyed that meat the most. Regardless, we had a good time!
Hm. I'm honestly shell-shocked about my experience at Mazra compared with my expectations based on all of its known popularity. Many have even deemed it to be "the bay area's best Mediterranean food" which, to me, is definitely a reach. To start off, I'd absolutely recommend to dine inside as opposed to their outside patio for two reasons: not Mazra's fault per se, but there was such a foul stench of urine that permeated the entire atmosphere.. Secondly, the server basically never checks up on you at all. This leads me to the next point; in retrospect, I should have read the other reviews more closely, but paying and tipping are done right at the beginning. I definitely would have opted to tip less had I known there would be a lack of service that followed. For food, my husband and I ordered the famous whole cauliflower and 2 double kebab plates. The cauliflower was overbearingly heavy and creamy, yet simultaneously lacked salt. We only had a few bites of this and didn't even want to take it home. To be frank, I expected all of the dishes to wow me or at the very least, not be bland. The best sides were the tzatziki and garlic potatoes; everything else was simply lackluster. Additionally, the menu literally states that "all plates include garlic toum/hot sauce" yet ours didn't come with any. My husband literally had to get up and ask the hostess twice for these. Both of these sauces were honestly mandatory; they amped up the flavors better than any of the side sauces (hummus, baba ghanoush) that we ordered did.
The charcoal makes all the different. The filet mignon and chicken kebab combo was juicy smoky and well seasoned over rice. The babaganoush was smoky and tasty as well. The fries are like Costco fries. Their garlic sauce was fluffy and addictive! Service was good you sign in at the door and get a text when your table is ready. Ambiance was nice we sat outside with a view of the street
Wow incredible! Mazra you are worth the wait because this place knows how to do Mediterranean food quite well. Habibi if you haven't been here yet, you're missing out. Came with friends and ordered a lot. Favorite things include the chicken rice plate, halloumi cheese rolls, dips sampler, cauliflower, and chicken wings. I wish we had space to order drinks and dessert but the food itself here is spectacular. Try to get indoor seating if possible but otherwise restaurant vibes are immaculate.
Worth the hype but not worth a 90 minute wait. Next time I'll stop by on a weeknight instead. Inside of the restaurant is gorgeous and ordering is super easy via QR code. The food took a while to come out but once it did.. we devoured everything. Only thing I wasn't a huge fan of was the cauliflower but that's because it ended up being mostly stem. The seasonings on the florets were super tasty. We tried the chicken and kofta kebabs and the chicken shawarma. I loved the kofta - it was super flavorful and the meat was so tender! Will pass on chicken kebab next time, I found it was a little too charred and on the drier side. Chicken shawarma was definitely the better chicken option. Their toum is DELICIOUS and tzatziki is refreshing with the perfect amount of tang. And the portion sizes are just right, we had leftovers for days. Only reason I'm rating as a 4 because of the service - it was on the slow side and we ordered from a QR code and didn't interact with any of the staff beyond "thank you" so felt a bit impersonal for the price point.
My friend really wanted to bring us here and I'm glad he did! The first attempt, the line was super long so we bailed. The second time, it was much better. You can't make reservations in the evening, but we were able to get a seat after waiting for 20 or so minutes on a Friday evening. We had a dog with us, and they were able to find us a table in the patio out back. They have patio seating in the front, seating in the restaurant proper, and then more seating in the back patio. The ambiance inside looked really nice, but they didn't want our dog (we don't claim ESA) in the main restaurant. The patio out back was also nice, with a water fountain. Our dog was able to sit under the table and take a nap. The restaurant is BUSY, so the crowd volume was loud, but we could still have a conversation. Behind me was another table and I could hear pretty much their whole conversation. The food was all very good. We did family-style, where we shared all the dishes amongst us. I think the roast chicken might be harder to share, because you have to carve it.
I saw Mazra on Grubhub and tried to do a pickup order for my group, but the system wouldn't let me complete the order when I got to the final checkout step. I wished they'd say they were not accepting Grubhub orders at the moment so I didn't keep trying to place the order. I ended up ordering from Mazra directly using the Toast limit hat they texte me. The place was busy on a Tuesday night, and they had a lot of takeout orders ready when I checked in at the front. When I got back to the car I realized they didn't include utensils though so I went back to request them. I got the dish that I liked at the other Mazra location - double chicken kebab plate with baba ghanoush and tried the beet dip this time which was tasty too. I also tried the fried chicken and hummus that others in my group ordered. We shared the banana date shake. My group liked the food. Portions are large so we had leftovers.
I've dined at the original Mazra in San Bruno many years ago. This location has beautiful outdoor seating however it was quite cold and windy and it wasn't until I went to the bathroom at the end did I notice that they also had garden seating in the back -- I would've liked to be offered that as a dining option as it looked quite sunny and calm. Service was friendly. You scan the QR code to place your order. They bring the food to your table as it's made. The appetizers were small and a little overpriced -- especially the halloumi for $12 and falafel for $9, both were tiny 3 bite items. I was hoping the wings $16 would be more flavorful but you really need their dipping sauce. Fries $6 were basic. I enjoyed the kofta kebab more than the lamb kebab -- both were $9. The best was the beef shawarma wrap for $16, both flavorful and a good sharing size. Total bill $78.02 -- a little weird that you're asked to tip prior to even being served your meal
Mazra is a beloved Bay Area gem! It's a must visit for me anytime we have visitors in town. Not only is their food fresh and delicious, their hospitality and warmth radiate through the restaurant. It does get busy on the weekends and we've been turned away from even joining the waitlist at times, but I'll always keep going back. The space itself is beautiful and welcoming, and you can smell the char of the grilled meat from down the block. Some of my go-tos are the chicken shawarma plate, beef shawarma plate, garlic rotisserie plate, and halloumi cheese rolls. We always get extra garlic sauce and hot sauce. This time, we also tried the whole cauliflower. It was delicious, but can get a bit rich/heavy if you eat too much. It was great for sharing though. Love the mint lemonade and all of their sides are fantastic as well - my favorites are the roasted potatoes and the baba ghannoush.
(Downtown Redwood City) Food: *CHICKEN SHAWARMA PLATE(9.3/10)- Crispy Thin Slices of Chicken, Includes Basmati Rice, Hot Sauce, Garlic "Toum" Sauce, Pita Bread & Your Choice Of TWO Sides. *RICE CONTAINS BUTTER* . Chicken was seasoned and tasted well. Pita bread was slightly warm. Hummus was fresh. French fries were cooked and seasoned well *DOUBLE KEBAB PLATE (9.3/10)- Kofta(90% Beef and 10% lamb) was so good, cooked well and easy to bite. Wish portion was higher. Lamb and rice were also deliciously made. Only complain is not enough protein compared to the rice portion *WHOLE CAULIFLOWER (9.6/10)-Heirloom Cauliflower Drizzled w/ Lemon Tahini, topped w/ fresh micro greens. Roasted and seasoned really well. Love the addition of lemon to add acidity to the dish. Semi crunchy and easy to bite. My favorite dish and is unique *FALAFEL (9.5/10)-Freshly Ground Chickpeas, Herbs, and Spices. Includes Hot Sauce & Tahini. Perfectly made. Crispy outside and soft on the inside. Ingredients are fresh and is very green. Flavor is spot on goes well with the sauce. Ambience: very beautiful and unique. Stands out compared to many restaurants. Love the rooftop sky view with the Mediterranean feel. Has indoor/outdoor sitting. Service: order by QR code on your table. Server brings you a warm water container. Staff is kind Price: reasonably priced Parking: has meter parking around the area. Can be difficult to find parking
Loved this place. I would have given them a 5 star, only if it wasn't self service and the spacing between tables were not so tightly packed. It was difficult to have a "serious" conversation while dining there. The food was excellent and packed with flavors. The chicken shawarma was delicious and the meat was moist. The kebab was equally good. I also liked their side dishes- garlic potatoes. Would definitely come back again.

Mazra remains amazing, and it somehow continues to improve over time. It seems like the owners & staff are always looking for ways to make the guest experience better, and it shows! As much as Mazra is great at/known for their meats, they also put so much thought and care into their vegetables. For example, our favorite mezza is their Whole Cauliflower, which is a massive cauliflower head that's roasted and then coated with a lemon tahini dressing. (They also give you more lemon to squeeze on it.) The cauliflower always comes out perfectly roasted; the inner parts are tender and toothsome, while the outer parts are crispy and a deep, golden brown. Another great vegetable option is their Veggie Plate, which is a plate overflowing with delights on a bed of their rice: falafel; a segment of their cauliflower; roasted broccoli and potatoes; their saffron mushrooms; and a halloumi roll. Each item is about as perfect as can be, and the sheer quantity makes it a fantastic deal. Of course, we still love their shawarma plates, which you can get with either chicken or steak shawarma. The meat comes thinly cut and tender, and somehow still a bit juicy! The plates are also a great value, since they come with a ton of great items that pair well with the meat. These include a rich, savory sauce (toum [garlic sauce] with the chicken, tahini with the steak) and two of their amazing sides. My favorite sides are the baba ghannoush (creamy and earthy) and their fries (golden, crispy, and pillowy). They continue improving the space, too. The pickup window makes it so much easier to get takeout, and they've really dialed in the flow of the inside and back courtyard seating areas. read more
We tried to eat at Mazra in San Bruno at 7 pm but driving by, the lines were already long. So we tried Mazra in Redwood City days later at almost 3 pm and we were seated immediately. The place was buzzing at that hour. I ordered the lamb chops cooked medium with basmati rice. The lamb was so tender and full of flavor. My husband ordered the Chicken BBQ plate with garlic roasted potatoes. I'm really not into Mediterranean food but I was curious about all the rave about this place and I must say, I loved it! Before our meals, we tried the free Turkish tea, quite strong for me, added several sugar packs but no milk available. However, this place is still a win! The service and ambiance, solid. Welcoming staff. It did not disappoint. I'm coming back! read more

Very fresh! My favorite was the grilled arayes which were so nicely seasoned and piping hot. Very good with the hummus. The Cheese Halloumi rolls were nice a crispy with generous amounts of cheese; didn't love it with the honey though. Very fresh pita bread that went well with all the dips. For my entree, I got the garlic rotisserie plate. While the chicken was cooked perfectly, it tasted like a plain rotisserie chicken with no garlic flavor. The garlic flavor just came from the garlic sauce which comes with almost all other entrees anyways. Fries and garlic potatoes were decent. Someone else in my party also ordered the garlic rotisserie chicken and her chicken came out dry, so that raises concerns about consistency. The service was good despite how busy they were. Absolutely LOVE the interior. Would come back, but not drying to. read more
TL;DR: a Bay must if you even only 'kinda-like' Mediterranean Great service, friendly staff, overall just good vibes. Perfect for both intimate meals and large gatherings. We ordered way too much to keep straight in my head but just peep the pics and order away - I promise you can't miss with anything on the menu. Cheers, Mazra! read more
Mazra was so delicious! came on a sunday around 2pm and there was a short wait to get seated. I ordered the chicken shawarma plate and the lamb plate. Both were so good! The sides were generous as well. I also enjoyed the self serve hot spiced tea. Service was minimal, I sat outdoors so I just ordered from my phone. read more

Six of us had dinner here recently. It was a Tuesday evening and the place was completely full at 7:00, with people waiting for tables to open up. It was our first time, so we ate family style. For starters we had the Falafel mezza sampler, the whole cauliflower, and the street fries with chicken shawarma. All three were very good, with one person in our party saying "I would come back here just to have that cauliflower again." Yeah - and don't skip the fries. For dinner we ordered the BBQ Deluxe Platter and had them add a couple more lamb chops so that all six of us could try one. The meats were good, the hummus was good, the rice was good. Everything was good! Also - the server talked me into ordering a banana date shake. THAT was also very good. Service was high energy and charming, right down to the "busboy" who enthusiastically demonstrated his skill at balancing loads of plates and bowls in his arms - all while flashing a million dollar smile. We thoroughly enjoyed the dinner and look forward to coming back for more. read more

Dinner at Mazra was delicious. We sat indoors this time. The host was very friendly and helpful. We tried the cauliflower appetizer. It came out hot and cooked just right. Ordered the bbq plate: filet mignon and shrimp which came with rice and a few roasted tomato, onion and pepper, with your choice if 2 sides. We got the babaganoush dip and Arabi salad. Big servings that can be shared. Very busy but nice inside. read more
Wow the food is amazing!!! The portion size is so large too that I barely made a dent before taking the rest home. The halloumi cheese rolls.... Still thinking about them months later LOL It's pretty much self service in the way that after they seat you, you order yourself on your phone, get your own utensils, but they do check on people often! It was nice sitting outside until the rain got us BUT otherwise I think on a nice sunny day, it would be a nice chill place to eat :) read more
Why 5 stars? Because I will be thinking about the Chicken Shawarma for a long time. --- --- --- As a conference I was attending nearby was soon to wrap up, I placed a pickup order from Mazra so I could scarf down lunch before meeting up with a friend. I was inside the building for approximately 6.2 seconds to grab my bag and then walked about a mile to my hotel where this was consumed. I share that detail with you to illustrate that it's not like I ate this the way god intended. And yet, upon the first bite hitting my lips, the delay in consumption proved to not matter. I really don't know how this managed to be so amazing. Was it the bread? Was it the chicken? Was it the fixins? All of the above? Either way, I loved every bite and the sauces that accompanied were great too. I think one was a little light garlic mix and the other was something with an orangeish hue. I enjoyed taking pretty much every other bite alternating sauces because they were very different but equally enjoyable. Mazra's excellent Yelp rating is very much earned and I am glad I got to experience it! read more

Mazra truly has delicious and flavorful food! We ordered their cauliflower appetizer dish, a chicken shawarma plate, a steak shawarma plate, and falafels. The cauliflower appetizer was the highlight - it had the perfect balance of savory, with some spice, and the cauliflower was cooked perfectly tender (not too soft). The chicken shawarma was also flavorful and tasty! The steak shawarma also flavorful and tender! The falafels were crunchy and tasted freshly made. The plates came with a side of yummy fries and pita bread, and an array of dipping sauces. The staff were friendly and efficient. The space is open and well decorated, it has indoor and outdoor seating. Mazra is definitely a gem in downtown Redwood City, a must try! read more

Giving this place 4/5 stars because it is definitely a bit overhyped imo haha. The food IS good, the restaurant is beautiful, and service was good. HOWEVER, I'm not sure the flavors were anything special. Yes, the food is so vibrant and the variety is awesome. But from all the dishes we got, nothing stood out and made us yell "YUM". The portions are good for the price, but again.....it wasn't too worth it after tasting the food. None of it was bland, but none of it was as flavorful as we expected (from the colors, presentation, variety, etc.). My expectations were just very high coming in and I was a bit disappointed..... At the end of the day though, this is a solid Mediterranean restaurant. A great place to come with friends or family. A menu with lots of variety to please everyone! read more

I came here with friends for a girls' brunch and really enjoyed the food and atmosphere! I ordered a strawberry lemonade (very refreshing), a halloumi appetizer, and chicken and rice plate. My friends each ordered other dishes (like the cauliflower or the double kebab with filet mignon) and we shared everything family-style. All of the dishes were well seasoned, well portioned, healthy, and tasty. I will say, their portion sizes are hefty so I had food for multiple days afterwards! The meal total came out to about $51.94 for all that food (for me, individually). Their ordering system is also unique in that you scan a QR code on the table linked to your table number, and a server brings your meal directly to you. At first I thought it was annoying, but I ended up loving it because then there's no splitting the bill at the end--everyone orders individually! read more

Mazra is one of our favorite Middle Eastern, Mediterranean restaurants! We first discovered their San Bruno location and have been loving it ever since. Their garlic rotisserie chicken and steak shawarma are definitely some of our favorites! If you're around San Bruno or Redwood City, don't skip this spot. Highly recommended! read more

Unfortunately it's as good as everyone says it is. I got the chicken shawarma plate and it came hot, the food was seasoned so well. The baba ganoush was really good. The fries were a bit stale tasting but if fresh they could have been really good. We've been wanting to come to this place so many times but the line and wait is always so long. Reservations are impossible to book online for dinner and when we got there on a weekday for dinner we had to wait about half an hour. So lunchtime is a good time to go if you hate waiting. The wait staff was nice and attentive, and I love the decor of the place. It has a lot of personality. read more
if you love chicken wings, get them HERE !! these are good quality wings for a good price, and not dry AT ALL despite tasting like the fire from a grill. Seating outside is perfect for a summer evening, and our server was so sweet. the hummus and yogurt dip were solid and portions are more than enough read more

I absolutely love Mazra! I have been several times to the RWC location and hope to go to their San Bruno location soon. Even though the cutlery, water, and complimentary tea are self serve and you order your food and drinks via a QR code, the hospitality of the staff is attentive and quick. Also the online menu has pictures for us visual eaters! It's located on pedestrian-friendly walkway with both outdoor and indoor seating but parking is a bit difficult during peak dinner time. I have tried the double kebab plate, the chicken shawarma plate, the roasted beet salad, the whole cauliflower, the grilled lamb chops, the garlic rotisserie chicken, the basmati rice, the French fries, garlic potatoes and nearly all the dips from the hummus to the tzatziki to the baba ganoush. Not a single entree, salad or side disappointed. Every single item I've tried here has been fantastic, perfect texture whether it's crispy or creamy, fresh, delicious and a generous serving size portion. The hype isn't just hype, it's the real deal authentic (and 100% Halal meat) dishes from the Levant and Mediterranean that are prepared over 100% mesquite wood that you can smell it in the air if you dine inside. There's a reason the lines are long here for dinner and especially for Eid. May this restaurant continue its success inshallah read more

Wow wow wow, Mazra deserves all the hype! We came for Easter dinner and were prepared to wait long, but they are super efficient and the food is excellent. We ordered the dip trio, whole cauliflower, and 2 kebab plates to share (which was plenty for 3 people). Everything was so good and very filling. Some highlights were the tzatziki, GARLIC POTATOES (trust), and the filet mignon cause it was very tender. They also have complimentary spiced tea which was the perfect end to my meal. Besides the food, the interior is beautiful and everyone is so attentive and fast. Seeing restaurants thrive in Redwood City makes me so happy and proud to be in the peninsula! Total: ~$80 read more

Whenever I'm in Redwood City and craving Mediterranean cuisine, my family and I always come here! I'm not usually one who goes for Mediterranean food, but I never pass on MAZRA. Usually during lunch time or weekends, there's a wait of around 10-15 minutes, but it goes by pretty fast. Walking into the restaurant, there's plenty of seating inside and out. The staff here are also friendly and welcoming! We usually order their Double Kebab Plate (Lamb) with hummus and tzatziki dips. Moreover, their Whole Cauliflower is one of my favorite dishes! The sauce is so tasty, and all the seasonings just go together so nicely. Adding onto that, their Grilled Lamb Chops Plate is a must try! The lamb is always cooked perfectly, and everything just goes together! I'd highly recommend trying this place!! read more
