    I am leaving this review to warn others about a very serious food safety issue I experienced at this restaurant. While eating my meal, I discovered a metal screw embedded in the food. This was not a small piece of debris--it was an actual screw that could easily have caused significant injury. Had I bitten down on it, I could have suffered broken or chipped teeth, damage to dental work, cuts to my mouth, or even a choking hazard. Finding a metal object in a meal raises serious concerns about food preparation practices, kitchen hygiene, equipment maintenance, and quality control procedures. Customers trust restaurants to serve food that is safe to eat, and finding a screw in a prepared meal represents a complete failure of that responsibility. What is most troubling is that this incident should never have happened in the first place. A foreign metal object making its way from the kitchen into a customer's meal suggests a serious breakdown in operational standards and oversight. I hope management takes this matter seriously, investigates how this occurred, and implements immediate corrective actions to prevent someone else from being injured. Food safety is not optional, and customers should never have to worry about finding metal hardware in their meal. This was one of the most alarming restaurant experiences I have ever had.

    What a delightful experience this was today for lunch. Mazeh is a cute and colorful place for lunch. They have many options to choose from and all of the food looked yummy! I opted for a make your own bowl which comes with as many toppings as you want. I felt like I had enough food for three people. I could only eat half and will have the other for lunch tomorrow. The chicken and brown jasmine rice was my base and I loved all the toppings: beets, chickpeas, baba ghanoush, olives, lemon garlic sauce, and so many other toppings. This comes with a warm, soft pita which was perfect with the dips. I will be back this week with a coupon and look forward to it. They have many tables as well as outdoor seating and it's easy to locate.

    What a horrible place. I'm pretty sure I gave it one star before, but they pay companies to remove negative reviews. Review: This place would be rated one star. Don't even attempt to go here. When you get there, the doors might be locked two hours before closing, and the staff might laugh at you and others waiting outside -- refusing to open the door. Yes, this happened: The service here isn't inconsistent, it's consistently terrible. I could put up with bad service if the food was good. But I guess this customary to keep your doors locked when your facility looks like a jail instead of a restaurant. Concrete floors, metal chairs, and prison food behind the counter. Let me tell you about the food: the greens are stale, the meat is tough, and the smell makes your eyes water. I wouldn't even wipe my bottom with the Pitas, because they'd probably crust up and fall apart. If I wanted to eat carpet, I'd ask my girlfriend. I can't wait for something new to open here.

    Spartan but nice interior. Friendly service. It's a Mediterranean food restaurant with bowls and wraps with some standard recipes but mainly buid your own. I have some spicy options and my bowl was delicious.

    TLDR: Flavorful Mediterranean cuisine for a decent price. I recommend the customizable rice & greens bowl. I've been to other Mezeh locations in the past and had positive experiences. It looks like the Apex location is the only one still open in the Triangle area. While in the area we stopped here for several rice bowls to go. Mezeh is similar to other Mediterranean customizable bowl locations. This is subjective but it seems like Mezeh is more generous than other similar restaurants so you end up with more options and portions (without an extra charge). They do understandably charge extra for double full portions of protein. One of the employees seemed reluctant to serve the ingredients requested, however, I'm not sure if she just had trouble hearing us. The other employee was more welcoming and patient. We enjoyed the bowls and liked the variety of options and large portion. I consumed my falafel bowl over the course of three meals. Only thing I wish I changed is that I asked for more dressing. The hummus and tzatziki were delicious, it just needed more of each! The bowls were spicier than anticipated. It wasn't overwhelming and we liked this fact. The accompanying pita was also good and I like that they include this with no additional cost. Overall, we would eat here in the future and recommend Mezeh to others!

    We came here with a coupon promotion and thought it was average. Honestly there are too many choices with all the toppings. It is a chipotle-style Mediterranean option and you build a bowl or pita or pocket. We had chicken bowls and a pita yet both commented the chicken is lacking in flavor. By the time I added all the toppings, it was too much mixed together to distinguish between the flavors. The decor is really neat and exotic. For drinks they have natural teas and juices and you have the look on the website to find the ingredients and calorie/sugar count since it is not labeled. They have seating inside and outdoors. The staff is really friendly. I prefer the flavor though of Jasmin and Olivz given the choice.

    Today, was my first time trying curry up now. I got a Chicken Tikka Masala burrito and Peri-Peri…read morefries . I was not expecting it to be that big, that flavorful, and that spicy! I got it Desi because I love spice and Indian cuisine never fails to bring the spice. I also enjoyed the Peri-Peri fries as they had the right crisp and seasoning. I wasn't sure if I'd be sold on the concept but I definitely will be back to try more of the menu.

    So upon entering this place around 1230p I was shocked at how dead it was. The person behind the…read morecounter who I guessed was the manager welcomed me. I told him I hadn't been here before and needed a few minutes to review their overwhelming and way too busy menu. He started berating me with questions, to the point I almost walked out. After he finally shut up, I was actually able to make a decision. I got one of their lunch specials, a fried chicken sandwich and fries. Took a little while to get the food. I know this isn't a fast food place, but again I was the only customer in the building other than one other couple who appeared to have already been served. Once I got the food, it was very tasty. The fried chicken was a little soggy but I looked past that. The fries where very good too but a lil heavy handed on the spice. The dining room was very clean and had been decorated for the holidays. I asked the manager as I was finishing my meal if it was normal for them to be this slow on a Wednesday afternoon during what would normally be a lunch rush. He said it was a little too slow for his taste but that they had enough to-go orders (DoorDash and so forth...) to keep them busy. Not sure how much I buy that but good luck to them anyways. Bottom line, will probably be back but the manager needs to allow customer to feel welcome at ease.
