“Mezze Mediterranean Grill is a beautiful restaurant and the food is fresh and delicious! I had the salmon platter. It was a very generous portion and the salmon was so moist and cooked & seasoned to absolute perfection 👌🏾 The platter came with rice and 2 sides. I tried the potato salad and garlic hummus - both were excellent. I love pickled onions and these were so yummy! It also came with 2 house made sauces - garlic and hot. Banging! For the meat eaters, it's all Halal. The decor is beautiful and you can tell the owner put a lot of thought and care into the atmosphere they were creating. There's plenty of seating available with individual tables as well as a community table, and there's nice outdoor seating as well. This was an absolute treat and located in the heart of Bronzeville. I'm so glad to have a healthy food option nearby. I can't wait to try other items on the menu.”
“Came here for the first time because there aren’t many Mediterranean options in this area… let me just say this place could hold up downtown or any other area!! Delicious food, flavor bombs! I got the shawarma and a friend got the shishkabobs… both chicken , but each with super unique flavor profiles. Nothing was basic. the family secret potato salad was great and each hummus flavor in the sampler platter had its own flare (you can sample before committing, if you don’t want the sampler). Falafel was very crispy but not oily & was great with the tahini sauce. Couscous was different (beets, pomegranate juice, and other ingredients) but good and would order again! the owner focuses a lot on quality and he is very passionate about what he does… sounds like he spends a lot of time perfecting his menu items and he was telling us about some items he will be adding for summer time vibes The space is beautiful and they were painting the patio fencing… So can’t wait for patio season! Had lots of leftovers Came a second time- see pic 💯💯💯 YUM We will be returning :)”
“I rarely leave food reviews, or really Google reviews for that matter but this food was so good and fresh. The hand cut fries were perfect and the chicken shawarma wrap was so good. The owner was kind in the interior was very nice.”
“One of the best food what I ate lastly Highly recommend you”
“Food is so fresh and GOOD. Great addition to the neighborhood. Amazing selection and great portions. They were near closing and still serviced me, I will definitely be back.”
“It was amazing...met the Chef and learned so much about the food and people.”
“The environment is so beautiful, neat, indoor plants that brings the beauty of nature and the food is superb. The owner is so kind and welcoming and so are the workers. Their hummus is one of a kind. My chose the hummus with the hint of mint and the other with roasted garlic and onions. . It is the best ever and you should try it. If you want real coffee, try their Turkish coffee , is the real pick me up coffee. It is served black and it goes with a traditional sweet . It is one of a kind. Check it out and you will not regret it.”
“friend moved in area and we wandered in - oh my goodness - SO delicious - and abundant! we will be back - the chef owner sources and makes all his own food - and it shows.”
“Yessssss! Bronzeville needed a Mediterranean spot, and this place does not disappoint. I've been here 4 times since it opened a few months ago, so I figured it was time to write a review. I love the chicken shawarma wrap for both the taste and the value! See the attached pic for the hefty size of the two pieces for the wrap in addition to the side. The cucumber salad with a pomegranate glaze was also really good. Also they have so many different types of hummus flavors that I've never tried! Let's support this place Bronzeville!”
“Wonderful experience, the food was excellent. I had the fattoush with grilled chicken and lentil soup and I have enough for two servings one for today and one for tomorrow. excellent environments , the ambience is very very pleasant, very easy to stay inside and enjoy your food and the location”
“The food is fantastic. Ordered a gyro plate with spicy hummus and potato salad. I was shocked to find that the spicy hummus was actually spicy! Normally when places say “spicy” it’s a lie, but I was pleasantly surprised to get some real heat. The gyro meat was extremely tender and very well seasoned. All around a great spot. It is a bit on the pricy side, but for the amount of food you get I think it’s well worth it.”
“Best to take it to go. If you’re a squad of 3+ you’ll have to adjust tables. Environment is clean and well prepared. Chicken shawarma wrap, and falafel wrap. Large portions. Kinda Dry protein. Fries were sad; like the fryer may need cleaning. Definitely not a sensory safe ‘food’ for the kid. We stopped in to test it since it’s new to the area. I didn’t feel the price was worth the food. But at least it’s many days of food. Edit: 🥺 sadly much of it doesn’t make for next day leftovers. Even deconstructed.”
