    I'm not going to lie, I was apprehensive about this restaurant. The previous restaurant in this location was not clean, it lacks good visibility, and wasn't a high volume location. Parking was okay, but I never felt comfortable after seeing the kitchen. Well, as Gomer Pyle used to say, "SURPRISE SURPRISE SURPRISE!" Uzzo was not it's predecessor. It's clean, spacious, the kitchen is immediately visible upon entrance, and the husband and wife team are very welcoming. While the build out was nothing to get excited about, the food was. All Mediterranean food has similarities. Greek, Lebanonese, Israeli, Turkish, Syrian, they all have commonalities due to the regional offerings, but each executes the preparation in different ways. We ordered light. The opener was the Mix Appetizer Platter for $29.00. You get 6 bowls of different dips and spreads, which include hummus, babagannus, muhammara, spicy tomato, girit ezme, haydari. While my initial thought was that it sounded like a lot for the app, when I realized it was under $5 for each bowl, I thought it was a bargain. My partner and I had our favorites, but there wasn't a single one of them that I would have voted out. My favorite was the girit ezme, a pistachio-centric dish, but the muhammara was also spectacular. We the had the Iskender Kebab $23.95, which is homemade gyro served over fried pide bread topped with a fresh tomato sauce, yogurt on the side. It was good, but the apps overshadowed it. We will be back to sample more, but we were full so the meal ended there.

    The Greek salad came with fresh veggies and a nice lightly tasting dressing; pretty skimpy on the feta though if you ask me

    It's been a while since we've visited any new restaurants. Given that Dvash had a 2 hour wait due to "reservations"; we went a couple blocks down to the Uzzo Mediterranean Restaurant! Going inside; we were seated quickly, but things began to pick up during dinner service. For tonight we shared 1x turkish bread with 1x side of hummus, 1x lentil soup, 1x greek salad, and 1x meat platter (comes with adana kebab, meatballs, lamb chop, lamb doner, chicken shish). Moving on with my review, the food tonight was delicious! The bread that had came with our meal; served with a spiced oil; had a nice chew and bubbly texture! The hummus tasted freshly made; creamy savory blended chickpeas and nice surprise of spice. The lentil soup had been pureed, but wasn't lacking as it was flavorful! The Greek salad came with fresh veggies and a nice lightly tasting dressing; pretty skimpy on the feta though. The star of the show; the meat platter was very tasty; the meats were tender and well seasoned; especially loved the made in house gyro! Moreover, the service was very attentive tonight. Overall, glad to say, although a little pricey; that we identified another exciting Mediterranean spot around the area. Final verdict; 4.5/5 stars!

    We had an excellent lunch here. My husband loves Turkish food having been stationed in Turkey many years back when in the Air Force. And he still remembers some words and phrases and enjoys practicing them. They have a large regular menu, but also have a special prix fixe lunch menu during the week. If you can go during the week, this is the best choice. And bring an appetite -- it's a lot of food! The 3-course lunch menu costs $19.95. The first course is a choice of soup or salad. There are three options. Then you choose an appetizer from 8 different options. And then the main course which has seven choices. While waiting for our food they served some thick bread with sesame seeds and a dipping oil. The bread reminded me of what is used for pide. And to drink, we had Turkish tea served hot in small glass cups. We requested some sumac spice on the side and used it liberally on our food. We both chose the Sheppard salad to start. This is a salad with chopped tomatoes, cucumbers and red onions, but without lettuce. It was quite crunch and refreshing. For my second course, I had the chickpea hummus -- creamy and topped with a bit of olive oil. My husband had the eggplant "babagannus" which was chunky and quite good, as well. For our main and last course, I chose their gyro. It was homemade -- the menu says "hommade" (!) and each sliced piece of the lamb and beef mixture was nicely seasoned and grilled. On the plate were some slice red onions, a grilled tomato and a spicy grilled pepper along with some rice pilaf and a small container of tzatziki sauce. It was some of the best gyro I'd had. My husband had his favorite, the adana kebab. This is ground lamb served as a long narrow strip and seasoned inside with some red chili flakes for a bit of a kick. His dish also had similar sides to mine. For dessert, we had another favorite of both of ours -- their kunefe. This was extra to the prixe fixe. But as it was one of the best examples we'd eaten - and we've had a lot -- it was well worth the price. The dessert is shredded filo with sprinkled nuts on top of a cheesy center. It was served warm over a sweet syrup. It was so delicious that we ate it entirely even though we were stuffed from the rest of our meal. I hope they do fantastically well as we are looking forward to returning and trying more of their authentic and delicious menu. This one is a definite keeper.

    The staff were really friendly. The place is very nice and is located in the back of a strip mall on Glades Rd near the turnpike in Boca Raton. We started off with tzatziki and falafel which was amazing. They amazing bread . My wife order the salmon which was tender and juicy. I had the lamb shish which was tender and very delicious. The meal and the service were amazing . This was a sure hit and we will be back

    I love Mediterranean (Lebanese, etc) food and will drive to any restaurant featuring such - and for me this is a drive, like west of turnpike drive and it's even west of Boca Raton. This was one of the worst Meditteranian restaurants I ever tried. Ever. The mezzo sampler had six lackluster dips and all were underwhelming but the worst was yet to come as we made the mistake of ordering two beef dishes and both were waiter recommended. I believe one was Lamb Doner and the other was Lamb Shank (could have been Osso Buco) and both were dry and tasteless and I'm thinking how did these make it out of the kitchen? The Doner was memorably bad. Service was okay and parking is easy.

    Beautiful food: authentic and made from scratch. The Gyros are delicious and the appetizer sampler could have been a meal.

    YES! YES! YES! YES AGAIN!…read more My boyfriend and I had date night last Saturday, and it was our first time dining here. The staff was really nice, the restaurant was super clean, and the ingredients were fresh. I had the spicy Taiwanese soup base. My boyfriend had the Coconut Tom Yum. We enjoyed a nice selection of different meats such as pork, lamb, and beef. Seafood options include shrimp, squid, and octopus. Quail eggs, frog legs (if you're into that :), and tofu. The conveyor belt was super fun because you could watch it as it went by and pick up whatever garnishes you wanted. Green onions, mushrooms, parsley, cilantro, cauliflower ... I could go on and on. We also had dessert. My favorite is the red bean and macha ice cream! Can't wait to go back! ***ALSO order the tea***

    This place is in a outdoor shopping plaza. Plenty of parking lot parking. We came at about 5:30 on…read morea Saturday and we're seated right away but by the time we left around 6:30 the place was poppin' and there was definitely a wait. This place offers a set price for Hot pot and is buffets style as well as conveyor belt delivery for veggies; you just swipe what you want. You start by picking a soup of choice and then you gather the food you need, cook it yourself in the pot and there are instructions and available on the wall for cooking times. It's relatively straightforward. Be careful with how much you grab as they will charge you for any excessive leftovers. I got the tom kha and my fiance got the tom yum. He found his soup to be a little on the lemony side for his taste but I think that's just a preference not a reflection of the quality of the soup. I loved my coconutty tom kha. Our waiter showed us how to operate the dial and gave us information about cooking time recommendation. We ordered some hot tea and had a wonderful time. The buffet appeared to be clean and the food fresh and well kept. I tried a variety of meat as well as seafood. The shrimp had a little bit of a previously frozen kind of taste but the scallops were excellent. I think in the end I'm not a big fan of the red meat even though it cooks quickly and tastes fine I just think preference wise I more so enjoyed loading up on the vegetables and noodles. The best thing I had there was the gyoza, so freaking good, highly recommend. It is worth noting that my fiance love the meat, so the great thing about this place is the variety and how multiple people can sit down and enjoy what they like, together. Drop by!
