    This is my favorite restaurant in all of Houston! Everything I have tried on the menu has been delicious. You can really tell they make the food fresh and with the very best ingredients. The salmon salad with the sun-dried tomato dressing is my go to order but honestly you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The atmosphere is chic while being cozy and the wait staff is very attentive. We have used the restaurant for catering before and all of our guests were raving about it for weeks afterwards! Couldn't recommend enough :)

    Seafood campechana
    Victoria M.

    With so many new places in Houston, it's easy to forget about solid old places. I haven't been to Mezza in probably over 10 years and it's been updated since. Nice open space, good sized bar, delicious food with good portions. Only the shrimp in the campechana was a touch overcooked. All the other meats were super tender including the calamari. Lamb rice and falafel made for a tasty lunch the next day. Note they will charge for their hot sauce. Parking is a large shared lot, but many of the spaces are designated or valet from other businesses.

    My tastebuds had a party from the beginning to the end! I started with the Seafood Campechana as the appetizer; and it comes with Tortilla chips. I say appetizer, but this dish is huge. I taste every ounce of flavor! It was like a party in my mouth with the combination of lime, jalapeno, pineapple, and small chunks of avocado, and to top it off, the shrimp and crab had their own flavors and spices fused together! Did you all see how big the shrimp were? After the appetizer, I knew I couldn't go wrong with the Pecan-Crusted Salmon, which has a nice favorable crust. Also, the sides are a mushroom risotto with grilled vegetables, making for a great dish with many flavors. For the second dish, my niece went for the Mango Stuffed Chicken, and of course, we shared our plates with each other. It had a very nice crust covering the outside, and it came with a mango buttery sauce to pour on top or inside; we did both. I don't know how they got all the stuffing inside, but I will be getting that next time. We also added two servings of fish tacos, and I must say they were good, too. But let's brag about the service; my nephew is seven, and he's very picky. He eats only eggs and pepperoni pizza! Well, that didn't have either! So the waiter and Chef made a pizza just for him with cheese and grilled shrimp on the side. One more thing: I'm surprised this place isn't charging more for their dishes. They put so much love into each dish, and the service is exceptional.

    Falafel salad

    We first went here around 2000 when we lived around the corner. It was a regular place for a few years until we moved abroad. Then again 2007-2009 it was a mainstay u til we moved abroad again. Now we are back in houston again and not so close but it's a treat. Large great starters, taboulli salad, grilled eggplant , hummus , salads, and tasty mains, some of which are displayed. On a sat night they are crowded and a bit overwhelmed, but they never rush and with the portions you don't rush from starters to main. Friendly owners and wait staff, food is kind of a mix of Mediterranean and new fusion American whatever that means.

    We stopped by this spot around 2:30pm and found it surprisingly empty, but I didn't mind much. The space itself is lovely and well-kept. The customer service was just okay--nothing particularly memorable, but it might have been an isolated experience. The food, however, was incredible! Everything we tried was absolutely delicious. We decided to visit after seeing Keith Lee's recommendation, and it completely lived up to the hype. We ordered the hummus with pita, mango stuffed chicken, chicken tortilla soup, and chicken shawarma wrap. Every single dish was flavorful and well-prepared. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Houston! Tip: If you're planning to try the mango stuffed chicken, be sure to allow 30 minutes for it to be prepared--it's worth the wait!

    Spicy lamb with rice
    Long T.

    Got a roast lamb atop seasoned rice plate and it was quite complex and delicious. Full of flavors, the meat was aromatic and super tender. The dish was topped with almonds, golden raisins, and walnuts for a delightful sweet and savory crunch to the dish. I will 100% come back for this dish.

    Chicken Pesto Pasta Spicy Chipotle Seafood Risotto
    Morgan L.

    Absolutely phenomenal. Food was delicious and service was great - the best risotto I've ever tasted. The low-lit, moody atmosphere created an intimate setting that elevated the entire experience. Already planning my return visit.

    Calamari
    Cynthia M.

    I used to come to this place all the time in high school, but that was over 15 years ago. Randomly decided to come by again, and it's still great! The free chips they give you when you sit down are addicting. Service was also really nice and quick. The calamari and mixed grill plate were really tasty! The burger was good but just a normal burger.

    Sorry we ate most of the chicken before I realized that I needed to share this!
    Trudi L.

    Mango stuffed chicken is absolutely delicious. The sweetness, with crispy skin coated with mango is genius. Most flavored grilled veggies I have ever had! We listened to Leo and his suggestions - he nailed it! He was detailed and excellent.

    Lamb Shank on a mediterranean broth
    Robert N.

    Was surprised that the large dining room had only a few patrons. The waiter was very accommodating and ordered drinks and the eggplant dip whose description stated it included walnuts. Had been to many middle eastern restaurants but never saw this preparation and it was actually an unexpected good-twist on a typical dish. The pecan crusted salmon salad and the lamb shank were substantial dishes and the flavors were excellent. Another surprise was the lamb shank was stewed in a mediterranean broth which was presented on a deep dish with its very tasty broth.

The cashier was very kind and helpful as he asked me if this was my first time and I said yes. Then he began to explain everything on the menu to me. I greatly appreciated him coming around the counter and taking time to show me everything. That made me feel very welcomed and comfortable. After answering my questions, he offered to take my order. I placed my order and even signed up for their app because I knew I would be back. I ordered the Teriyaki chicken bowl and added shrimp with cauliflower rice and sweet potatoes. It came with Brussel sprouts and avocado. This bowl was SO good! The shrimp and chicken were delicious! The teriyaki sauce had a delicious flavor. I thoroughly enjoyed everything! I also had their orange blood & ginger lemonade. It wasn't really sweet but still good. I even went back on a different day to get their blueberry boost. It was pretty good too. I'm looking forward to more visits.
