This place was beyond amazing! The staff was friendly, good amount of seating inside and small amount outside. The food was some of the best middle eastern food I've had: the falafel was not dry at all, the sauces were all amazing. The pita was so fresh and warm. So so good! read more

What great staff and a very nice seating area! Hubby and I stopped in with our sleeping toddler during their dinner hours. We ordered the Beef & Lamb Kebab and Beef & Lamb Shawarma. Hubby loved his kebab plate!! Mmm Wow, was my first reaction to my shawarma!! The falafel ball was a delicious surprise and I LOVED the flavorful meat! This small business focuses on fresh and healthy, 100% organic, non-gmo dishes! This includes dairy-free and sugar-free desserts! The word "Mezé" means taste or snack! We'll be back soon to devour the rest of the menu! SYOY! :-) read more

Came in on 12/16/25 with my beautiful wife and adorable toddler, MeZe Eatery is located on Miller St in Grass Valley, CA. We came in hungry, promptly ordered our food, and sat down. The staff member who took our order was very knowledgeable and courteous. Kudos to that young man being professional while being busy. I ordered the Beef and Lamb fat Kebab Plate and it was amazing! I had several different styles of Mediterranean Cuisine but this restaurant was the tastiest, savoriest, finger-licking... the food size was plenty, the flavor astronomical, service was pristine, and the ambiance was casual. Muah! We will be returning again! read more

I ordered one of their salads and it was literally just cucumber and tomato, olive oil, salt and pepper. So flavorless and how can you even call that a salad? My sister got their hummus bowl with chicken and it had sooooo much hummus with nothing else. This place sucks, won't come back. Don't spend your money here. read more

Loved this place! The food was incredibly fresh, full of flavor, and authentically prepared. We enjoyed every bite. read more

Returned for takeout this week and it's still delicious. The service was a bit faster, although it might have been my timing. I love that I can order an then wander stores on Mill Street and hear my name called over the outdoor speaker when my food is ready. Still the most delicious pita I've eaten! read more

Delicious take away food! My picky eater even loved the super fresh hummus and pita. The beets were delicious, falafel plate was tasty but the sauces ran together. My brother really liked the chicken. Of course the hit was the chocolate mousse and my SIL and I liked the key lime dessert but it could have been a little more tart on the tart part and creamy on the creamy part. Overall great meal and we'll be back. read more

Excellent Mediterranean food, everything seems scratch made. The hummus was the creamiest I ever had. Bonus with outside seating for my dog to hang while we enjoy our lunch. Did I mention the have beer on tap? read more

I am submitting an update- The food was great. The service was fantastic! The guy at the register is such a joy. And the presentation was perfect. This just may be my favorite restaurant in Grass Valley now. Thank you! read more

Delicious. I had the eggplant sandwich 1/2 pita & a kombucha on tap from local Gold Vibe. Perfect late lunch after a long day of thrifting in the area. IYKYK. Calming cafe vibes. Check out the water fountain inside. Mesmerizing. Took home a bag of fresh, pillow soft pita & made dinner later with it. read more

this place is a hidden Gem. every dish we tried was fresh and delightful. The vibrant falafels were so tasty we ordered seconds. get those for sure. the desserts were also very tasty, and i think dairy free, which made them more impressive. the aromas wafting in the kitchen on a cold day were so cozy and intoxicating, and the service was also memorable with genuine smiles and attentive care. I even left with a little treat, a clipping of a long pathos they had. This place serves cozy joy. read more

Excellent Grass Valley eatery with the Best Mediterranean/Middle Eastern food. Get the Meze plate with all the great hummus, baba ganoush, etc. The full pita sandwich deluxe version, is excellent. They even have gluten free pita, and the regular version is fluffy & delicious. The restaurant has both an indoor dining area and a little outdoor seating space. This is one of my go-to restaurants in the twin towns (GV and NC). read more

MeZe Eatery - A rose for the review ! - Middle Eastern Near Me - Grass Valley, California

Solid! Incredibly high quality food, slightly higher prices than I was expecting for Grass Valley, but I'm always willing to pay for fresh, locally sourced food. Ordered online, arrived to a BUSY Friday night and my order had not yet been filled. I wasn't in a hurry, so I sat and waited. It was 20 minutes after my scheduled pickup time, but the staff thanked me for my patience.... They were hustling back there for sure so I didn't mind. The food was excellent - fresh and flavorful. Portions were on the smaller side so I'm glad I ordered the full pita and not the half. The raw desserts were awesome for this lactose-intolerant girl! Extra points for the compostable to-go containers! read more

I had the Paleo bowl. Food was fantastic, so flavorful and nicely balanced with a variety of colors, textures and flavors that all complement each other. No table service, you order at the counter, pick it up and bus your own table when done. Cute little place with indoor and outdoor seating. read more

Meze never disappoints! I love their vegan bowl and I add chicken shawarma cause it's the best in town. I love that they expanded their indoor space, the ambiance is really nice and service was fast thanks to a young girl with long black hair and a warm smile whose name I forgot to ask. read more

If you're on the fence about falafel, go! It is, hands down, the best falafel I've ever had. Period. Quaint downtown walkable area. Amazing variety, and everything we've tried has been exceptional. read more

I ordered the chicken schwarma in a half pita. The flavors are unbelievable. The pita was fresh and tasted homemade, and was delish! Everything was perfectly cooked! Highly recommend. read more

Great food!!! Will be back again for sure!! Unique, tasty flavors that my whole family loves! read more

MaZe' always has folks lining up for their fresh Mediterranean cuisine. I for one am always happy to wait in line for their chicken shawarma pita. I always get a few xtra falafel in the side because they are sooo good. Their homemade deserts are always bomb- so even if you feel full after this healthy and fulling meal don't forget to snag one of these yummy treats before you leave. Service is always genuine. They have inside and outside seating. If you want a hearty healthy yummy Mediterranean meal, do yourself a flavor and stop by and fill ya belly. read more

Service was quick and no-nonsense, ambiance was comfortable for a quick service dining operation, and the food was really good: I was happy to have the option of ordering a half pita as my appetite was not huge. The pita was thick and so soft, the chicken was a bit dry but had a great season to it and all the other ingredients were crunchy amd tasty. It was fun to try and figure out what Mediterranean flavors I was tasting! The housemade falafel had a great crunch and nice soft inside. The small cup of dessert was called a Malabi and was a vegan version of a Persian dessert made with coconut milk, rose water, pomegranate syrup, and spices topped with pistachios. Subtle flavors and nice textures made for a pleasant finish to my meal. read more

Super friendly, and they let my dog sit inside with me on a really hot day :) Also, the food was delicious and they were so accommodating to my friend that has a really bad nut allergy AND gluten allergy. read more

One of my favorite places to dine I've tried most everything. The lamb/beef shawarma plate is my go to. One thing I really appreciate about this place is their kids plates. Very healthy, adorable and tasty. My 10 year old was very surprised how good the food was. Baby liked too! Family friendly for the most part. Just no changing station but moms make due. Hummus is the best! Extremely fresh ingredients. read more

Every time I'm in GV I have to hit MeZe. The food is soooo good. Love the deserts too! Their hummus and sauces are fantastic. Made in house. Only downside is service. I've been here dozens of times and the staff isn't very friendly. Obviously the food is so good I keep coming back but room for improvement on that front. Seating outside is nice. read more

Stopped by MeZe for dinner over the weekend and had a good experience. Located in the cute downtown area, Meze offers a modern environment for Mediterranean/Middle Eastern cuisine. Food - The food was pretty good. We both ordered the paleo bowl and it was chock full of good stuff. The chicken was very tasty and the veggies and sauces complimented everything else very well. Atmosphere - The restaurant itself is not very big and wouldn't be very friendly to larger groups. There is an outdoor area where a larger group could dine, but indoors there's limited seating. It's overall fairly clean and they play some good music to get you in the mood for some good food. Service - The service is pretty much deli style. You order at the counter and you get the food yourself when your order is called. They have complimentary water that you can also serve yourself (which I like because I can be a thirsty boy). The staff were friendly in our interactions with them. Overall, it was a good meal and I would consider returning if I was in the mood for that type of food. read more

Been a year since we were here. Loved it then Not so much now. Must have had a change in management is only thing I can assume. Atmosphere changed food down graded service even worse. Super disappointing. Ordered the Beef Lamb sawharma plate along with the falafel dip plate. Lady reads the order back to us correctly. Wait and wait finally go check on order. Shift change new people forgot to tell us the order was ready. Open up order Chicken not beef and lamb. Go up told no we ordered Chicken. Nope we ordered beef and lamb. Told I would have to pay more to correct the order. Said fine I will eat the chicken even though NOT what we ordered and paid for. Super small portion of chicken. Even next customer in line says is that all the chicken we get? Yes it is. Loved this place a year ago drove 45 minutes just to go back won't be doing that again. read more

I'm so glad we stumbled upon this place in the heart of Grass Valley. Delicious and super fresh mediterranean food, and reasonably priced (for the area). There's a small amount of indoor seating, but also outdoor seating offered. Lots of great options to choose from, my family went with a spread. It took around 10 minutes for our food to be prepared. I got the paleo bowl, and it was amazing. Great portion size, and all the veggies were so fresh. The chicken was tender and succulent, and all the sauces elevated the flavor. I was excited to see that they had included one falafel to try! I tasted some pita and it was delicious, everything seemed very high quality. My dad complained his chicken was served cold, so I guess he got the last bit of the last batch. Oh well! Overall super delicious. read more

Wow, what a find MeZe is! The food is delicious. We tried the chicken shawarma plate with salads, sauces, hummus, falafels and pita. The chicken shawarma was tender and deliciously spiced. The hummus is so creamy and flavorful. The saurkraut tasted homemade as did the pita. The falafels were probably the best I've tasted. We had not stopped in Grass Valley before, but now we know of a great place to eat there. read more

Delicious food! What a gem in grass valley! MeZe is located right in the heart of grass valley and has a great ambiance- good indoor and outdoor seating, with cute decorations and a handwritten menu. I got the falafel dip plate, which was GREAT! So fun to eat and a great value for the price. It comes with five falafels, hummus, cucumber/tomato salad, kale/quinoa salad, and a variety of other dips, which were all delicious and flavorful. The falafels were perfectly crunchy on the outside and flavor-packed on the inside. It also came with a fluffy pita which was perfect for stuffing the dips and falafels into. Food came out fast and I got this plate per the employee's recommendation, so great service. Wish I lived closer so I could go back! read more

I ordered the shawarma plate plus muhammara to go on a Saturday afternoon, and I enjoyed it over the next day or 2. The space seemed charming, but I had people at home waiting for me, so I couldn't stay. Flavors were delicious, service was friendly, and portion was great--restaurant/food prices are up everywhere, but I have no complaint on the value here. If I'd dined in, I think I would have asked about sauces. (I didn't see any out for customer use.) My food was delicious, but I love playing with sauces, especially when they can add some heat. My wait seemed long for a single dish and the volume of orders being taken at the time. I'll return, and I hope to enjoy the patio/parklet seating outside. read more

MeZe's food is absolutely delicious, yet the orders can take a long time to prepare. I suggest calling your order in ahead of time.

I don't live in the area, but I seek out this place every time I do! The hummus was the creamiest I've ever had, and the quality of the olive oil was palpable--delicious!
