    I love having lunch here whenever I'm at Fair Oaks Mall. I always select the junior bowl, which is the perfect portion. It comes with 4 toppings and a dressing. The staff who started the bowl was super friendly and inviting. She provided suggestions for anyone who was unsure/confused. I selected the spicy chicken, rice, lentils, spicy harissa and a few other items. This is a kid's bowl, but truly is the perfect portion. It also came with a warm pita bread. There is plenty of seating in the establishment as well as outdoor seating. Would I return? of course!

    If you are looking to try something different style of chipotle style meal, this is it. One of my friends decided to grab a lunch from there. This location is right inside the mall, which makes it convenient tired parents and screaming children after a long day of shopping. In terms of food they have 3-4 types of meats, greens, grain and Mediterranean style toppings. You have option to create your own bowl or pick from one of their signature bowls and or wraps. The taste was average, nothing out of the ordinary. It is better than chipotle due to variety and more healthy options. I got shawarma bowl and it tasty. The sitting arrangement is a lot like chipotle with stools and some small tables and chairs. The ambience and furniture can use an upgrade for sure. Service was fast and poised, no Smiles what so ever but I get it working in the mall on a weekend can be brutal. Overall, I am abit health conscious so this a better alternative than chipotle with more toppings. I will come back again and try it.

    Standard Mezeh attached right next to the mall. As usual, can't go wrong with this kind of pick. A filling bowl of nice ingredients that don't break your wallet. No issues - service was the usual. Seating is a bit uncomfortable but that's every Mezeh. They kept the look and aesthetic too. Great place to get a meal when you're shopping here.

    Food was so tasty and the portion sizes were great! I created my own bowl and basically added the majority of toppings.

    We ordered the shawarma delight and the spicy meat lover. The shawarma was not my favorite but my forever dining partner absolutely SMASHED it. The spicy meat lover was PHENOMENAL and both of us inhaled it. The only thing tht stunk was that we wanted to order more and they had closed already LOL. Splendid and so worth it!! **if you're in a hotel ordering, keep in mind the water does not have twist off tops. So they're impossible to open

    When I say delicious, I mean finger licking deeeeliciooouuusssss! Not the traditional pizza kinda meal, more like a fold the pizza and make a shawarma sandwich kinda blissful eating pizza! If I lived in Fairfax or dc area, I'd hit this spot so hard and so often , but alas I don't live here : (

    How did we not discover mezeh sooner? The portions, price, and overall experience is so much better than cava. Cava's sole focus is growing share price now so the food quality, quantity are all terrible. If you like the food though, mezeh is a great alternative. The staff is very pleasant/patient. Much more abundant toppings including more interesting choices and the food is cooked well overall. Also tons of sauces and dressings to choose from. We will definitely be frequenting mezeh more often.

    I'm so glad this is here. Absolutely delicious Mediterranean/Lebanese food. My recommendation is the hot chicken bowl. This has so many healthy and fresh ingredients. Also it will provide real sustenance. This is my preferred lunch place, and the bread served with the entrees is quite good. You get good portions, and eating healthy at the same time, is a winning combination. Yes I do like the stand alone ones more, but still happy it's in the mall here. It is still comfortable and relaxing. Sometimes it can get busy, but the employees do their best to keep pace. As for seating it's quite good, although I like the wooden bar set up, as usually am dining alone. The entire restaurant is immaculately clean. There are a number of choices to choose from here, but I always go to this restaurant, as the food taste and quality help it reach new heights.

    Which is better, CaVA or Mezeh? I'm thinking Mezeh. Try this location in the Fairoaks Mall. It's fairly new. The staff is very helpful, portions are very generous and most importantly the food tastes excellent.

    Do they serve halal meat?

    Yes. All our proteins are halal.

    Do they have kids' meals? Thanks!

    Actually they do have kid specific portions!!! Mini rice bowls or mini pita pockets available based on what I saw on the menu. My nieces enjoyed the rice bowls.

I felt so happy n comfortable the entire time. What surprised me was how amazing all the banchan was. That's how rare it is to get some good tasting sides.

Reservations were easy since you can book it on Resy. They do have a 2 hour service break between lunch and dinner just an fyi. Some of us got cocktails which all enjoyed. The only thing that could use improvement is the speed of paying the check. Sure, it looked like we were all chatting away but it was another hour of us trying to waive our server down to pay. Overall, not a major deterrent and other than that we thought the service was pretty good. There was a strangeness when perhaps a busser put the raw meat on the table in a strange way. Strange meaning it was put in the way of where the banchan should be and not close to the grill. Long story short we still enjoyed our time and tipped generously. Perhaps it was a short staff day. We are all definitely coming back.

What a find!!! I have to mention the amount of flavors bursting forth before anything else. 1st bite- we were sold. Never said this B4 in a review - these tacos could not have been any better, in any way, than they were here. Juicy and tender, we tried 5 types, the beef birria, goat birria, chicken tinga, chicken+chorizo, and beef tinga. All equally great. Then Sopas chicken tinga, beer birria So fabulous too. Loved every single bite. Small place, very casual with several inside tables, more outside. Sat down for some,carryout for more. Carryout was well packaged- self serve some of the 3 sauces to go to try. Green is avocado/tomatillo mix, red is hotter/sharper, orange (kickin/creamy) good. Decent sized menu but not trying to do everything- smart move. Because everything they do they do extremely well. Before we even left, I said "If we lived here , I'd be coming here almost every week". It's that good. We're both retired chefs and cook at home constantly, but this was something special. Do Not Miss.

The noodle quality was subpar with no chew to it in all three dishes. In the end we had to go to the cashier to pay our bill because we couldn't get any of the servers' attention. Needless to say, we won't be coming back to this restaurant any time soon.
