Best pesto ever! Jalal was kind enough to share me the recipe. I loved the unique flavor of the mashed potatoes served with the grilled salmon. Sam took good care of us, his guests. A nice and fine place to dine as a group.

The pesto spagetti and the grilled artichoke was very tasty. The watermelon in the salad did not seem very sweet or fresh but it was a good combination. Would have liked the falafel in a separate bag for a togo order they were soggy but tasty :)

Literally was browsing Maps for a place to eat, and the menu made us come here for dinner. I’m really glad we did. The staff were incredibly sweet, and kind of funny. The restaurant is really nice inside - perfect for impressing that special someone. It was hard to pick out entrees out of the great selection. The apps on the other hand we knew exactly what we wanted - hummus and FIRE CHEESE. Yes, they light it on fire at the table. The pita was incredible and I could have filled on up on just that. But I had to eat my Paella! The servings of the entrees are really manageable. I forgot to mention the drinks! My raspberry lemon drop was so tart and delicious! My friend got the hibiscus drink and she loved it as well.

We walked by this place so many times and we finally went in for dinner, and what an amazing experience. The staff was attentive and pleasant, they were easy to talk to and enjoyed their company. Hospitality, including the owners’, was the best. We ordered a lot of food for leftovers and to try it. For appetizers, we had the flaming feta (Saganaki) and the Spanakopita. They were both amazing. The spanakopita is probably the best we ever had. The dough is home made. We had the lamb kabob, chicken souvlaki, and the Gyros sandwich. And they were great, the food taste fresh, well spices and delicious. Even the Gyro sandwich which was extra (only two of us for dinner), the meat was sliced thick and well cooked. We thought the food was extra special, we ordered more for catering the week after. We had dinner for 15 people, and we ordered catering. Similar things to what we had, but also added the Greek salad, the dolmas, and the amazing falafels. And the amazing pistachio nut pudding. Everyone raved about the food. This is our new favorite Middle Eastern restaurant. Actually, our new favorite restaurant.

After a nice walk in the Henry Cowell state park we got so hungry that we decided to go to a sushi place but it was busy there and we didn't get a seat. So we decided to come here for lunch. There were eight of us seated. The bread with sauce that was served as complimentary was delicious while we were waiting for our food. Our server was busy but she got all our orders along with the special tea. The food was delicious and we all enjoyed it.

This is a fantastic place for dining. Atmosphere is great and the service as well. We ordered Hummus Plate, Grilled Chicken Souvlaki, Portobello Mushroom Sandwich and Veggie Delight. All entrees were excellent and very tasty. Portions were huge as well. Great place to visit if you are visiting Santa Cruz. Highly recommend this place.

Loved the flavors of the chicken and lamb kebabs — so tasty and well seasoned! The food could’ve been a bit warmer, but the service was great and the atmosphere with Arabic music made it such a lovely experience overall. ✨🍢🎶

Mozaic at 110 Church St, Santa Cruz, CA is a great spot for lunch, especially if you love Mediterranean and seafood dishes. 🐟🥗 The food is fresh and delicious, and the restaurant has a nice, comfortable vibe. The staff are friendly and attentive. Prices are a bit on the higher side, but overall it’s definitely worth the visit!

Great staff! Our waitress Aubrey was sweet, personable, fast and informational. Food was good. A little pricey for the size of portion. Flavors were nice but not super favorable.

Recently for New Year’s Eve dinner, my family and the family of a dear friend from abroad visited this place. We originally had booked this place for a 7pm slot but we went there an hour early. The host Jalal was kind enough to accommodate our early arrival and got us a table. The restaurant ambience was nice. Our waiter Sam was a nice guy and patiently took our order. The dipping sauce that was brought to the table for the bread was very delicious. We ordered the grilled Salmon plate, combo gyro plate, Mozaic paella, Greek chicken souvlaki, four cheese ravioli and lamb kebab for our main course. We also ordered Mojitos, red wine and mock-tails. For dessert we ordered the chocolate cake, baklava and Tiramisu. The salmon plate, the four cheese ravioli and the paella plates were delicious with the rest being so so. The baklava and the tiramisu were alright as well. The waiter also forgot to bring our lamb kebab and the mock tail/ sprite we ordered. Overall, decent food and ambience. Service could improve better. Every time we had to wait for sometime to get the waiter’s attention to get something. While they had a busy evening, that is not an excuse for a mediocre service especially when they charge a whopping 18% service charge. The other waitress did not want to deal with us and bluntly said to call our waiter. I am not sure if I would visit this place again though some of the food items were very tasty and delicious.

Nice decor but we were expecting more Mediterranean flare and flavor to the food. We found some of it to be bland unfortunately, it was clean and the employees were nice. It is on ground level and has a bar available inside. The parking was in a garage nearby and was an easy walk.

I have been to Mozaic several times in the past year. The food is consistently good. My review concerns the service, which has been a recurring issue. The past two times I have been here, my group was helped by a waitress (unsure of name: woman, 40s?) and her treatment is really unpleasant. It always seems like she’s annoyed and over it: no smiles, no pleasantries, and awfully inattentive. During our most recent visit, she asked my girlfriend how she would like her burger cooked and didn’t wait for an answer before going “medium well” and continuing on without letting my girlfriend get a word in. Insane behavior. The burger was not good, way overdone. It also came out more than 5 minutes later than the food for the other 3 members of our party, for some reason? She disappeared completely near the end of our meal, but not before dropping our check on a random wall divider section fully not at the table without saying anything. We got up to see if it was our check, then had to flag down the BARTENDER to run the card. I don’t know if she’s somehow always having a bad day, or if she has a problem with our group’s demographics, or whatever else, but I believe there is a minimum level of service that was not met. Once could be understandable, but this has happened consistently. It’s really disappointing and tainted what was otherwise were good experiences.
