    Hummus and babaganoush
    Josh N.

    I stopped in for lunch with my family on a Saturday. The place was quite slow and can't help blame the street car construction. Such a mess. The gentleman that served us was very friendly, efficient and helpful. They are very good at accommodating gluten free which my wife needs. The atmosphere is quite cozy and pleasant. I am a huge fan of hummus and babaganoush and they did not disappoint. Overall the food was great, though my lamb shish kebab felt a little over cooked. I prefer mine more on the medium rare side. I hope to be back and recommend stopping in if you get a chance.

    I was so excited to try Mazza! The inside was really gorgeous, they did a great job with it. Our server really went above and beyond, he explained the entire menu to us, which was actually so helpful! He also joked around with it and was a great time to be around! We started with the Mazza Trio, which we all really enjoyed- especially the naan! I also ordered a Mojito. They didn't have a drink menu yet, but said they could make anything and honestly, this was the best dang Mojito I have ever had, so fresh and flavorful and just the right sweetness!! I got the Lamb Koobideh Kebab, which I enjoyed. I didn't think it was the most exciting or flavorful meal, but it was a good, filling meal nonetheless. I can't complain. I would love to come back and try more things on the menu, especially with them being such a new restaurant! I'm excited to see how they grow and what they'll add to the menu in the future!

    Tried a variety of all the things at Mazza and enjoyed all the tasty tidbits. Though I will say that I have forgotten to go back for a couple months now and it's probably worth another trip. Our server was very enthusiastic about describing and recommending all kinds of menu items for first time diners. Enjoyed!

    Excellent service! The waiter was very attentive. And the food was delicious! So fresh and filling. It was a more upscale venue than I realized, but I think we were dressed okay for a Monday night. I would definitely dress a bit nicer to go here on a Friday or Saturday.

    Amazing new addition to the Midtown Crossing area, which desperately needed a new restaurant! Our server went through every single item on the menu and explained in detail which item was, which was SUPER helpful for all 3 of us! I ended up with Falafel & Sambooseh and we split the Mazza Trio! The Mazza trio was amazing, I loved all 3, the baba Ghanoush was my favorite out of the 3! My falafel outshined at the table, we all through it was the best falafel we have had ever, and the star of the night! They do validate parking at either garage, so bring your ticket! Prices are very fair, will definitely be back!

    LOVED IT!!! Our waiter Juan was amazing and did a great job of explaining menu and The Feast we ordered. Lovely decorated and upscale decor that was very inviting. We started with babaganoush and falafel appetizers. Excellent. Then we had the feast which is a sample of each of their meat entrees which was fabulous and a great opportunity to try new and old favorites. Juan recommended an excellent Sauvignon blanc to go with our meal too. Will be back.

    Opened for a week, is this Middle Eastern restaurant with koobideh, kebab, falafels, veggies, apps, soups and more. . I got lamb koobideh which is ground lamb mixed with spices and shaped on a skewer and then grilled. I love lamb. The dish is straightforward served with rice, bread, grilled veggies and a slightly spicy house made red sauce. Love the sauce, and wished I could have this everyday! . The appetizer trio is hummus, labneh - a buttery yogurt dip, and babaganoush eggplant dip. The trio is served with warm pita bread. I love this app, and it is appropriate to share at a table of 4. . This is a nice space, keeping the space shape as former Sofra (my fave breakfast joint) and former Grey Plume (my fave dinner joint). The Mazza space is familiar to me, and I feel quite comfortable here. The bathroom is also the same, quite clean and nice. Note, for the ladies room, lights are on motion sensors in the different sections. Each stall and sink area are on different sensors. So just move your arms around and the light will come back on. . As always, there is free 3 hr validated parking in both Midtown Garages. This is a big YES for me because parking is so easy and plentiful. . Lastly during the "trolley" construction, it is a little difficult to drive around this area, causing low foot traffic. But, all businesses including restaurants are open. Show Midtown Crossing and the small business owners some love. Super easy, all parking garages are easy and plentiful places to park, and parking 3 hrs is always free with validation!

    Hummus and Pita

    In town for a few days and I'm always on the hunt for great Mediterranean food. Came across this place as it was near my hotel in midtown. Great find! Loved the Beef Koobideh, very flavorful and tasty. I didn't want the full order of hummus as it was just me, so they were nice enough to give a swap and charged me for fries. All in All, I'd be back every week if I lived here. Chec

    Tabbouleh and beef kabob

    Flavors were good. I expected a little bit more out of this place but honestly for being Middle Eastern food in Nebraska it was very good. There were no other guests when we went for dinner at 5:30 on a Friday night. Our server asked us if we wanted wine but didn't have a wine menu and didn't know what wines were available. Both the beef and chicken were flavored well. The salads were fresh and the dips were flavorful, but very oily.

    First time time here and absolutely love it!! Didn't know what to expect but heard from a friend and I'm blown away. Not only was the food amazing but the ambiance is great and the staff is extremely kind and helpful. I'm looking forward to more menu items soon including that dessert!!

    Mazza Feast

    Came back to Omaha to celebrate a good friend's birthday. Mazza was the perfect spot for our birthday group. Amazing food! We tried the Mazza Feast which had all the types of kebabs. Every single one of the kebabs was delicious and very savory! Highly recommend the place.

My beef salad tasted amazing! I was surprised at how good the flavor of the dressing was on the salad, and although it was a pretty simple salad, it was definitely a large and filling enough meal for me with the amount of beef that came on top. I also got the extra grilled vegetables, and these were delicious! Kind of a surprise to see it. It was just one large piece of each vegetable, but it was still plenty of food, and worth the charge for me. The environment is pretty simple in plain, definitely feels like a hole in the wall spot. The restroom is past the kitchen, so you get a good view into the front of house and back of house stations. Overall, this was a great meal, although just a little too pricey in my opinion. My total is $28 for this meal (no drink), which included the tip (they write it in for you.)

My mom did love her Eggplant Pilau with Beef, but personally I would go elsewhere for Mediterranean food if I had the option.

This place taught me a thing or two about vegetables, which delighted all of our senses, and I highly recommend trying a variety of their small plates. This is worth a few minute detour. If you live here, well then, lucky you! Our servers carefully detailed the menu and let us taste a new wine prior to ordering. The dinner service manager is knowledgeable and passionate about the dining experience. When we ordered the radicchio salad, I was skeptical that it would be bitter, but was curious to try it. My husband and I could have fought over it--it was that good! The cauliflower was roasted perfectly, and sat upon a sweet and spice infused puree called mahummara with crunchy pine nuts. The complexity of spices compelled us to try another bite, and then another... Roasted carrots are tender and sweet. Paired with cool yogurt and chili crunch, they ascend into another level of deliciousness. A tear of fresh bread across bits of remaining sauce, and then (not a minute sooner) "we are satiated, thank you!" and the server can take the plate. The restaurant is adjacent to a theater that shows unique offerings and they will sometimes coordinate events with menus. We liked the simple cafe style tables and openness. Ample parking is available in back.

She listed off all the daily specials and I'm so glad she did because the Croque Miss was a GREAT breakfast sandwich! The coffee and chai were some of the best I have had in a long time! The vanilla latte was made iced with oat milk and it was just sweet enough, something about the espresso beans just made it all blend together so well!! The chai was house made and it was SO great, like Christmas in a mug, just phenomenal. The food is different from other breakfast spots around Omaha. The croque miss was the breakfast sandwich special and it blew all other sandwiches out of the water. Thick bread, Dijon mustard, ham, and topped with 2 eggs! WOWOWOWOWOOWOW!! It was so complex and the flavors blended so well together! The only thing I wish there was more of was ham, just one more slice would have been great! The brioche French toast was thick, fluffy, and sweet. I loved the cranberries on top, another dish with great complementing flavors. The space itself is inside the Film Streams, it can seem funny walking into a theater and not going to see a movie but wow is it worth it! There are floor to ceiling windows to let in the beautiful natural light, plants all over and you can get your coffee to go here if you'd like! Lola's is definitely my new go to breakfast spot!

The owner is really nice. The decor is not fancy but the interior is spacious, clean, and comfortable. I think they have been trimming down the menu a bit to focus more on the Turkish and Mediterranean style food (and the burgers). I think there used to be more Chinese food choices, and maybe pizza. The change is fine for me. I feel like when restaurants try to have a lot of items on the menu, they are usually not as good as places with a narrower focus. Everything I have ever ordered there is still on the menu, and I've always been happy with everything I've had here.
