Mezza - Chicago

Nice staff that got me through their line quickly. The falafel bowl hit the spot!!

Really awful hummus. Like, really bad. I couldn't even finish it, and I almost never throw food away. Falafel was less bad than the hummus, but that's not saying much. If you're in the area and want good Mediterranean, do yourself a favor and head a couple blocks south to Taza, on Franklin St. I won't make this Mezza mistake again.

For the price, you definitely get a lot of food, however i and a few issues. For one, they were out of hummus at 1 PM which I didn't understand considering the lunch rush is one of the busiest times there. The pita was super difficult to eat so I ended up using a fork and knife which helped a little but if I want a pita, I want to make sure I can hold it. Last, the feta or sauce was extremely salty so it made the dish hard to eat. I don't think it was bad but there can definitely be some improvements.

Food is delicious and well priced. But they’re ALWAYS closed over an hour early. How am I supposed to support and give business to a place that stays open 3 hours a day???

Solid place for lunch during the week if you work near the Merch Mart! Their portions are on the large side and they're packed with flavor. Wish there was a little more spice in some of the sauce options. It also gets pretty busy during lunch hours, so I'd recommend ordering ahead!
