Meze

Mama Mazze is a cozy Eastern Mediterranean spot with seriously good food. This place completely breaks the myth that healthy food is boring or bland. Every dish is layered, vibrant, and full of flavor, so you never feel like you’re “settling” for something healthy. The atmosphere is warm and relaxed, and from the first bite to the last, the food just puts you in a good mood.

Great service. I got the restaurant special with the Caesar and the chicken skewers. The salad was massive. Food was good. If you like sour taste you’ll love this place. I wish the Caesar had some cheese to balance out the sour acidity but that’s personal preference.

What a wonderful experience dining at this place. The atmosphere is lovely, so bright and full of colors and I love the ornamental tree in the middle of the room! We only had two appetizers at this time, as our usual we sat at the bar and the service was phenomenal.

Look. I’ve been to my fair share of hyped of NY restaurants. This place is SLEPT ON. It was a PHENOMENAL meal!!! Literally everything was amazing - no misses. The steak was among the best I’ve had in NYC (however I’m not a steak connoisseur). The lamb was some of the best I’ve ever had. Get the fried cauliflower. Amazing. Loved the octopus. The beet dip was the only thing that I thought was just fine. Not too flavorful. The Nutella sundae dessert looked too sweet but was actually delish. The dining room is very nice. It large so not the warmest atmosphere, but definitely well decorated. Overall, I was really surprised and impressed by this meal Only other complaint is that for 2 ppl, the table was physically very large so we were very far apart lol. But the booths were comfy !!

Went here for Valentine’s Day dinner with my boyfriend. We are in the upstairs dining area. The food was amazing! 10s across the board. The only thing I didn’t like was how loud the restaurant was with different dinner parties talking. Once the dinner rush was over, the ambience and atmosphere changed greatly. I will definitely be back. Next time I’ll try eating in the downstairs area.

This place is truly as good as it looks! This place is perfect for date night or dinner with a small group. The menu offers a variety of Mediterranean (and beyond) dishes, and everyone at the table loved their dish. I can personally say the chicken and steak skewer dishes were fantastic - deliciously flavored and perfectly portioned. We ordered some drink throughout the meal which were quite refreshing, but perhaps were a little on the lighter side. You must get a dessert when you come here - we got the chocolate Baka sundae and it was rich and delicious. Overall a great dinner spot!

Mamamezze is an absolute gem. We ate here recently and everything — the food, the service, and the room itself — was outstanding. Every dish was beautifully prepared and packed with flavor, and the atmosphere somehow feels both warm and elevated at the same time. A huge standout moment was when Chef Dan came out to our table to check on us — a class act — and then surprised us with his special chocolate-tahini tart for dessert. It was next-level and the perfect way to end the meal. Truly one of those places that reminds you why dining out in NYC can be such a great experience. We’ll absolutely be back.

Spacious Mediterranean restaurant with Moroccan flavors. Great for groups as the spreads and small plates (mezze type of dishes) were in larger portions than most restaurants which could be the actual main course all together and also justified the marginally higher prices. My favorite were the Moroccan carrots and the zucchini chips. The freshly baked zaatar bread that came with the dishes was great and the staff brought us new ones when requested. For dessert the sesame chocolate tart was good and not too sweet. Overall a pleasant dining experience!

Nice cozy place for late fall weather breakfast. Ordered Matboucha with home made za’atar laffa, eggplant & zucchini chips; Shakshuka. Full flavor of Mediterranean.

I am still dreaming about last night's dinner! One bite was better than the next and the prices were so reasonable. This place has been on my list for months and now I can say it was worth the wait. …

Excellent ambiance, good service and decent food! I expected a bigger portion for the price we pay, but other than that, the quality was definitely not compromised. (bright side, I didn’t over stuff myself!) We ordered chicken skewers, the moroccan cigars and chicken shawarma. If you aren’t a fan of dry stuffing, then steer clear of the Moroccan cigar. their Zatar fries the best.

We stopped by Mama Mesa and only ordered an appetizer with two beers. The food itself was actually pretty good — flavorful and satisfying for what we tried. The atmosphere, however, depends on where you sit. Sitting outside has its charm, but as with much of downtown New York, the air isn’t always the freshest, and that does take away from the experience. Inside, the restaurant is nicely decorated, and with the AC running, I imagine it’s a much better choice on a hot, sticky day. Service was just okay — nothing to rave about, but nothing terrible either. Not rude, just a bit on the mediocre side. Overall: Good food, nice décor inside, but I’d recommend sitting indoors for comfort. A decent stop if you’re in the neighborhood, but not necessarily a must-visit.

Beautiful decor and great ambience. Food portion is on the small side. Some dishes taste authentic and some don’t. Overall a great experience. Popular place for dinner after work. Mostly female patrons.

Excellent place. I stopped there for lunch and was very pleased. I had ceasar salad with tahini sauce and was delicious. Bread with zaatar was equally good too. Atmosphere is pretty with nice decorations. Service was fast and attentive. I would go again.

Placed a DoorDash pickup order and went to collect it. The hostess, Elissa, brought out a bag after asking our name, but when we checked it outside, we realized it wasn’t ours. When we returned within 5 minutes, she admitted the orders got mixed up because someone else had called saying they received the wrong one. There was no real apology or accountability, just an offer to have the kitchen remake it, which took another 15–20 minutes. Service was below average, and the whole experience felt like a waste of time for the quality of food. Tried the Mushroom Hummus and Chicken Skewers, hummus was decent, but the chicken was dry and flavorless. There are plenty of better Mediterranean options in NYC. I’d recommend avoiding this place if you want tasty food and better service.

By far the worst restaurant experience I have in NYC. Every dish has onions and they cannot make anything without them. If you don't like onions do not go to this restaurant. The chicken dish som…

Despite the many empty tables, the host said they were all full and we'd have to wait two hours to get a seat. She sat us at the bar, but no one came to sit at those many empty tables. The Morroccon cigars were too salty. The braised short rib and tagine lamb were dry because they were overcooked. Even the position of the prices on the menus reveals how amateur and uncaring the business is. Don't let the high review score fool you. It's a pretty mediocre place.
