Recommended by a friend, Mezeh is a chain with many locations. This particular location is popular with UNCC students due to proximity. The concept is pretty simple: You are going to end up with a bowl of Mediterranean food, and you get to choose what goes in it. Bases of salad or rice, a variety of meats, add some vegetables, sprinkle in some cheese, sauce, or hummus, and in a short run of rapid decision making you've got a huge bowl of food! Considering the serving size, the pricing isn't unreasonable, but it is still on the expensive end for a meal, especially if you add a drink. And as servings go, I will probably go with a junior bowl next time because the regular bowl is a bit too large. Service was typical of an entry level restaurant chain, with no smiles or small talk, but efficient. I personally prefer my Mediterranean food from locally owned restaurants where you get more personality and connections to the authentic meal.

Parking lot can get full with other establishments and when events are happening at the lake. Visit was noon on a Saturday, no one was in the restaurant so it was very quiet. I was acknowledged immediately and my order started. Ordered a make your own bowl, but unfortunately there was no white rice was ready for service. Ingredients were fresh and labeled so you can order correctly. Don't forget your pita bread with order. No mention of joining the loyalty program in store from associates.

I had never been to a Mezeh before. I don't know if there are any near where I live. 2 friends recommended it to me (including the one I was there with). The portions are great and the chicken shwarma tasted very good. We ordered bowls - pick your base and protein and toppings and sauces. (I went with a super greens base and most of the toppings!) Tastes great and great portion for the price. I highly recommend.

I highly recommend this location! The service was prompt and attentive. The food is well organized and the restaurant was very clean during the busy lunchtime hour. My food was fresh and delicious and I look forward to returning. I went with the build my own bowl option and there were many options to choose from but I was able to select my favorites. I hope you enjoy as much as I did!

Chicken shawarma bowl

I stay around this area when traveling and have always gone to Cava, but wanted to try mezeh though it seems very similar. Monday during lunchtime it was quite packed, which I took it as a good sign! However, I found out that Cava across the way was closed so that brought in even more customers and felt bad to the 4 workers hustling to get all the orders. I got a bowl with arugula and white rice, and they were out of chicken shawarma so I waited on that. I really liked some of the different toppings they had especially the crispy garbanzo beans. Everything tasted fresh and very flavorful. However since they were very busy, little things like their juice machine was out of juice and not refilled. But I will definitely come back here again as it was a tasty, healthy, and affordable meal!

Mezah classic
Tim A.

The Mezah classic is a good choice for a first timer. There are a lot of interesting flavors that go well together. To much food for lunch so you get good value for your dollar. It is a lounge of pure made food like a Chipotle or Cava, everything I had was fresh though. The girl behind the counter did not smile, was not friendly and did not speak loud enough to be heard. When I asked for a drink she just threw the cup on the tray. Auto minus one star. They do not have normal fountain drinks, everything was unique beverages. Try a few different ones, they are good. You walk through the line and they make your food in front of you. You clear your own table. When you pay it asks you to leave a tip. I will not tip just because someone made the food I ordered. This is a way restaurant owners incentive their staff to pay them less. Another minus 1 star. The food is good but the service is not.

Mezeh has the best bowl in Charlotte. It's better than Cava,better than chipotle.  Friendly staff and the price is very reasonable.

so after visiting with the crew last week I came back in today because, well, you know... it was good and likely way better for me than the other lunchables up for consideration. still not entirely sure what I'm eating here so I went with a suggested house bowl of winter shawarma to simplify my life and because the flavor profile looked totally 'yes please' even without the arugulas... bulgur pilaf is a fun little item because in addition to the basic bulgurity there's raisin bits!! not quite two scoops but enough to add some bright to the base; so very thoughtful. add chicken shawarma and lentils; spicy feta dip, roasted corn salsa and caramelized eggplant; cherry tomatoes, pickled onion and a pinch of red cabbage (because I like red cabbages) plus a dose of cilantro vinaigrette on the side for safe transport... and add a cucumber soda traveller. got it home, got it open, got about half way through and called it on account of fullness. I could probably have managed the whole thing but this is dinner, not a contest. and then I remembered I had a pita and baklava around somewhere so yeah, tomorrow is so gonna be lunch. in closing: not sure if it was the best baklava ever but it was flaky and sweet and moist and nutty... so I'm good here.

Fountain drink options.
Cherrelle M.

I love how Mezeh has a wide variety of tasty vegeterian options. I can enjoy a vegetarian meal with flavor when I come to Mezeh. They also offer meat options like chaicken and lamb. They have in house juices and fountain drinks. My first time was at a yelp event and the staff were friendly and patient as I placed my order. The restaurant is located in the shopping center in university by the boardwalk. There is a parking lot for all the restaurants in the vicinity. This is one of my new favorite spots to eat at!

muscle bowl
Candace M.

First time here and truly didn't know what to expect. Wasn't sure what kind of food was served. But they have a vibrant menu and great options to choice from. I choose the muscle bowl and man was it so good. Don't think I came up for air while eating haha. Love the decor around the establishment and definitely consider you trying them out!

The line moved quickly and the environment was nice. I did feel slightly rushed so if you can look at the menu beforehand I highly recommend. The food was great, very simple but filling nonetheless.

falafel classic vegetarian delight
Meeta A.

Was in this area and ordered a pizza and a bowl, both were the bomb! Loved it. Staff was very generous and added as many toppings as we asked for, i could two meals easily from one of the dishes. PS they also added more toppings to my pizza for no extra charge!

Chicken shawarma bowl with mango punch and a chocolate chip cookie
Juliana D.

Came here for the grand opening and it was amazing! Waited in line for about 45 minutes but it went by quickly. The service was excellent. All of the staff was very efficient and friendly. The place is really nice inside as well. I ordered the chicken shawarma bowl with white rice, lots of toppings and I got tzatziki on the side. It came with a pita as well! I got the mango punch as my drink and also got the chocolate chip cookie at checkout because it looked sooo good! The bowl was super flavorful. I enjoyed every single bite! The chicken was nice and spicy. I really loved the spicy feta as well. The mango punch was pretty good. And the chocolate chip cookie was very good too! It was soft and had lots of chocolate chunks.

Also, got the Sol All Star Breakfast. Waffle, Eggs, Turkey Bacon, and "Homestyle Fries." Everything was cooked as expected and taste was good. It's a nice brunch spot right at the boardwalk.

My meal came with two sides, but I never received the home fries I ordered. Overall, the service and atmosphere were enjoyable, and I would come back to try their full menu.

Not only is the food delicious, but it's a healthy option versus a lot of what is out there. Sometimes you just want something that feels good and tastes good. I've seen several one star reviews on here mentioning wishing they had hot food or disliking sushi. To them, I ask, why are you eating at a poke place? If you don't like the entire menu/concept of a restaurant, don't leave a one star review to bring their average down when if just because of your taste in food. By the way, the KF Beef Bowl is a hot dish and they offer miso soup as a side. My mom and I came here for my birthday lunch and both got a build your own bowl. My mom has a lot of food intolerances and was able to safely eat here and enjoy her meal. We both got the passion fruit tea, and it has real passion fruit in it. Everything was delicious, and furthermore, everything is consistent. I have never had a bad dish from this place. The ambiance is chill and calm, which I appreciate. The service is kind and helpful.
