Located in a small, nondescript strip shopping center off of Quakerbridge Road in Lawrenceville, Mezza offers very tasty, freshly made, and reasonably priced burgers, kebabs, and vegetarian platters in a very casual ambiance. Mezza specializes in providing Halal Mediterranean cuisine that's made with fresher ingredients and more care than typical fast food but served almost as quickly and at the same price point. My dining companion and I recently stopped into Mezza for lunch. I opted for the Chicken Adana Platter ($15), comprised of a generous portion of ground chicken kebab cut into bite-sized pieces and served with basmanti rice and a small salad of iceberg lettuce, tomato, and cucumbers. YUM. My dining companion went for a healthier selection (as usual) and had the Veggie Platter ($14), featuring a generous portion of eight freshly-made falafel balls served alongside hummus and baba ghanoush, and a small salad of iceberg lettuce, tomato, and cucumbers. YUM! Both of us really enjoyed our meals and we'll definitely be back next time we're in the area. While we were there, most customers got their orders 'to go' or delivered via app, but there are a handful of tables inside the restaurant (which features an open kitchen.. a consideration if you don't want to smell like cooked meats for the rest of your day) and two folding tables with a few chairs outside. Pro Tip: Mezza offers a 10% discount on orders over $30 if you pay with cash, so be sure to bring your Hamiltons and Jacksons. read more

Mezza Mediterranean Grill - Chicken Adana Platter - Mediterranean Near Me - Lawrenceville, New Jersey

I'm at about a 3.5 here with potential to go to 4 stars. Somehow this place escaped my attention for a bit but I'm glad I got around to trying it. I ordered the chicken shish platter but was tempted to try one of the combos. I most enjoyed the lightly seasoned and slightly charred chunks of tender chicken. The yellow rice was ok, but needed something in it. The salad included in the platter was standard and I'm not a fan of them adding it in the hot container. The white sauce and red sauce were both good. Mercer co now has a handful of halal/kebab places to chose from. The prices here compared to my 2 favorites in the area were higher, and the portion here was much less. I like the options at my favorite place more as well. Customer service was professional so no problem there. I might return for a sandwich or combo platter at some point. 3.5 stars read more

Mezza Mediterranean Grill - Chicken shish (good) - Mediterranean Near Me - Lawrenceville, New Jersey

Perhaps only two visits, both for carryout, both only for appetizers, may sound as though they would not constitute sufficient evidence for a five-star review. Look, I'll be the first to admit this is mot the place you take your significant other to propose over candelight ... the digs are bare bones, only a few tables right near the cash register, tv blaring in thevsame room. But my carryout - babaganoushband hummos was finger-licking delicious. 'Sistem", the kind man behind the counter is as warm as warm can be and does justice to the famously warm Turkish people. Sistem gave us lovely warm and soft grilled pita, wrapped in foil to stay warm, to enjoy with our apps. My wife and I gobbled this stuff up and force ourselves to stop so that we can surprise ourselves with some leftovers the nect day. And Sistem brought back the best menories of our time in Istanbul. Looking forward to the next visit and teying different things on the menu. Do not judge book by its cover! read more

Got takeout from here today. Prices were pretty reasonable and the portion size for my chicken shawarma platter was decent. I always find it a little annoying when half of the container is taken up by salad, but it's pretty much the norm so I can't complain too much :) The sauces were good and the chicken wasn't bad at all, although the rice could have used a little extra zing somehow. Not sure when I'll be back, but if you're looking for decent Mediterranean food in the area, I'd say Mezza delivers. read more

See all

Delicious and fresh food, my favorite Mediterranean food locale in the area. The chicken kebabs are my favorite.

Great food and warm and friendly service. Falafel, lamb Adana and fries were excellent. Highly recommend!!!

I was in a rush and did a order via another app. I ordered a chicken shwarma wrap, that came with fries. I believe it was 9.99$ I also ordered a mango drink and baklava, which came in a pack of 4. The people were friendly and diligent with their service. I'll stop again for a quick bite. read more

I just moved to Lawrence, New Jersey, I've been looking for good food in this area for a little bit now. I came across this place and the cook assured me that they had the best wings. And he was right their wings are absolutely delicious. Crunchy on the outside juicy and, tender on the inside, the sauces are delicious. Food is very very good. Highly recommend. read more

Fantastic service and delicious food. Came here for a late dinner - I ordered the falafel sandwich and my fiance got the chicken shawarma platter. While waiting for the food, the gentleman who took our order brought out complimentary baba ghanoush on pita. The pita was still warm and the baba ghanoush was creamy and refreshing. My falafel sandwich was very generous with the falafel and it was cooked perfectly, crispy crust and full of flavor. The chicken shawarma platter had perfectly cooked chicken and again, great flavor. We will definitely be back to try out more of this delicious menu! read more

Mezza Mediterranean Grill - Adana sandwich - Mediterranean Near Me - Lawrenceville, New Jersey

Excellent food, Quality service, good price for the amount of food given and ran by awesome people. I am very picky with how my food is made and so is my nana. We love their food and they are now our number 1 favorite Mediterranean Restaurant in the area. I recommend the chicken over rice with white sauce and hot sauce on the side for those of you looking to expand your pallet. read more

Terrible service! When I arrived for pickup, the lady at the front tells me she doesn't know and to wait 30 minutes. Avoid this place! No other small business in the area tells me to wait 30 minutes when I arrive at the expected time of pickup. If you cannot handle a lot of orders during busy dinner hours, then your business needs to staff more people or turn away orders. You're welcome! read more

Really good Mediterranean food. Went with a group of 11 and got our food in a timely manner. Service was excellent and everyone had a great time. read more

I love Mediterranean food. Decided to stop by and try out this restaurant. Looks large from the outside, but it has only a few tables. After ordering, I went back to my car to wait for my order. I ordered the chicken shawarma sandwich. It came with a side of fries. The combo came with a side of fries, but it wasn't fried long enough to get crisp fries. A bit on the soggy fries. Sandwich was ok. It was more of a wrap. It was actually made like a burrito. Too much white sauce was added. The chicken and veggies drowned in the sauce. Took away from the flavor of the shawarma chicken. I also ordered the chicken and lamb kebab platter. Rice was a bit dry and lacked spices. Platter was covered in white sauce as well. Didn't like too much white sauce. The sauce should have been given on the side. Not all over the platter. A great Mediterranean dish does not require loads of sauce to enjoy it. read more
