This restaurant is always consistent with the food. It’s always good! The service not so much. She was very nice but we felt rushed. I don’t like that when I go to a restaurant. Plus I feel we had to leave because you guys were waiting around. Also the host wasn’t to pleasant. She needs to greet the customer and make them feel welcomed. Some things the restaurant needs to work on.

It was a very relaxed dinner. I never should have ordered eggplant parmigiana. It had way too much sauce and too much cheese. It wasn’t served hot so the cheese was a little chewy. I was told to order lemon chicken. Maybe next time.

Wonderful dinner with old friends. Mezza was quiet enough so we could catch up but not so quiet that everyone heard our conversation. Everyone enjoyed their food. Israeli Salad and Pear Salad were fresh and delicious. Tabbouleh was excellent, nice surprise of pomegranate! shrimp ricotta gnocchi, pappardelle, and Moroccan chicken tanjine were nicely presented and large enough for sharing. Too full for dessert. Disappointed that we didn't know it was BYOB. Lovely restaurant with outdoor seating!

The pick-3 mezza appetizer is well presented and tasty! The Israeli kebab was ended and flavorful. We especially loved the ricotta fritters which are served warm and cinnamony with chocolate sauce. The presentation on the tree is unique and fun. Waiter attentive and the host very engaging.

Cozy street front restaurant just off the main street of Westwood, NJ. Outstanding in all ways and would highly recommend for lunch or dinner, especially if a special occasion. Wide variety of appetizers, breads and entrees. Mediterranean based but has something to offer for all tastes and preferences including vegan. Perfectly prepared, professionally served and simply delightful. What more can I say? Will be back again and again to sample more of their great choices. BYOB also a big plus which allows you to pair your favorite wines while keeping down the overall cost.

Mezza has always been one of my favorite restaurants in Bergen County. We took friends that have never eaten there last night. We first ordered the mezza. For 4 people, it came with 2 scored pitas! Presentation in the bowls was very average and, given the price, a very small amount in each bowl. (I remember a better presentation with adequate amounts for sharing in the past.) A few stips of carrots and celery for $6 was embarrassing and just plopped on a plate. As I recall, Mezza used to serve olives and another tapas gratis when you sat down. That was gone. For a restaurant that wants to be high end, something should be presented but even the bread and olive oil was gone. Dinner was good but prices have been increased too much. Entrees are mostly $38 - $40 each.

food is delicious. Service not great...seems restaurant policy is to bring as little pita bread as possible for guests. Last nights hummus appetizer for 4 people brought 2 pieces of pita. We asked repeatedly for more. Duck, while delicious came out to $5 per small slice (8 slices total).

Food is delicious, and a nice variety of Mediterranean dishes. We shared 3 Mezza, which are dips, and then we each ordered an appetizer as our "main" dishes. One quirky thing is that we couldn't order the Mezza separate from the rest of the food, we had to put in our entire order at once. Not sure why. Overall, a very delicious meal, and I will return!

It took a very long time for the waiter to come by initially. Since they only have 2 seatings on Saturday (either 6:15pm or 8:30pm) you had to order everything at once. The appetizers were the best part, cigars by far the best appetizer. Then everything fell apart. The wait staff rarely came by for any purpose including clearing the table. We then had to wait almost an hour to get our entrees. We weren’t the only ones. Tables had stacks of dishes waiting to be bussed. The waiter said we were next, but after 20 minutes came and went I went to complain. The manager was nowhere to be found. The assistant manager came out and said that this was the first time this ever happened, that the kitchen was backed up and that he would comp the desserts. Hearing that the kitchen was backed up is something a diner wants to hear. Why is it that our problem? Shouldn’t the kitchen learn how to deal with the seatings? The entrees we’re not very good? After our complaining the waiter never came back. It didn’t make a difference because he wasn’t attentive before that time. Strip steak was well undercooked and the mashed potatoes tasted like a mix, no taste and cold. The other entrees of duck and branzino were fair to mediocre especially in view of the $40 price tag. I read the reviews before going here and we must of gone to a wrong place. It was disheartening that it was my wife’s birthday. We’ll never go back.
