Mezeh Mediterranean Grill - Short Pump

Mezeh was my go to spot for years. Being Jewish and missing Israel, this was a good spot to eat in the area. Today was my first visit in about a month and a half (traveling a lot for work had me away for a while) and see they changed their pricing, portions, and quality. The falafel was dry, I had to fight for normal servings, my typical $23 bowl turned into $28 dollars and I was only given a quarter pita piece. I marked one star because this is a place my dad and I love. He found it back in 2019 when I came back to the States and he’d always want to invite me here to eat. I spoke with him about my past experience and he also shared the same gripes except he said they weren’t very nice to him. Service is getting worse and worse everywhere you go and this is really the only place I’d frequent, this and Texas Roadhouse (of all places). I feel bad because this place meant a lot and now I don’t really want to come back. Cava is next door and kind of don’t like them either. So it’s tough not having a cool spot. Increase in prices for food that doesn’t taste as good and smaller portions.

The food was delicious, the portions were generous, and the prices were reasonable. The staff was friendly and accommodating. This was my first visit, and I'm already planning to return later this week to pick up dinner.

The slowest mobile order service I've ever experienced. It took over 30 minutes for my order to be ready.

Incredibly healthy and delicious! This is my kids' favorite spot for a quick nutritious meal when we're in a hurry!

First time at mezah and everything was great! Dinging one star because most of the tables in the dining room were dirty, and there were only two other people eating at 2:30pm on Saturday. Keeping the dining room clean is the easy part!
