Tonight's take-out got 5 stars reviews all around from our group of 6.
This was our second time trying the new Mezza location in Stratford. The first time I think they were still getting the kinks worked out so I wanted to give them another try.
Tonight we tried the Mixed Grill Plate (chicken shawarma, chicken skewer and donair meat), Shawarma Plate, Shawarma Sandwich and Fattoush and Tabouleh Salads. Everything was fresh and flavourful.
The savoury chicken shawarma was shaved fresh off the rotisserie.
Chicken skewer kabobs were nicely done on the grill. An employee was carefully monitoring their temperature with a probe. Chicken came with a traditional garlic sauce which was packed with flavour.
Shaved donair meat was moist, dense and yummy with the sweet donair sauce.
Hummous and pickled turnip were great. Pita bread was soft and fresh.
Some of us got the "lentils and rice" for our side instead of plain white rice. It had a wetter consistency than I was expecting, but it was still delicious and more interesting than boring white rice. Would order it again.
Overall, a more delicious and healthier alternative to typical "burgers and fries" fast-food fare.
The plastic take-out containers are heavy duty and will survive numerous cycles through the dishwasher if you want to reuse them. Although not easily found, the containers are printed with some of the tiniest recycle symbols I've ever seen.
I hope they eventually switch to compostable containers, but in the meantime, at least these ones can be recycled.

My girlfriend Caroline has had the food from Mezza before, although for me it was a first. But I haven’t found good Greek food on the island, so I was very hopeful when I saw souvlaki and Greek salad on the menu, so when I showed Caroline the menu, she picked Wednesday evening for our supper date. The restaurant interior looked new, clean and well staffed, with a long line up as it was just past five pm.
I knew I wanted souvlaki but they have such a large menu that I could eat there for a week without repeating myself too often. ;)
I ordered the Mixed Grill, some stuffed grape vine leaves, and of course baklava for desert. The chicken souvlaki, while tasty was not the best I’ve had, in fact I found it a touch dry and rubbery so I’m not sure how they marinade it. Typically it’s garlic, rosemary, oregano lemon juice, olive oil, wine, and refrigerated for a lengthy amount of time to let those flavours soak in. These were disappointing in texture and flavour, I’d give them 2.5 out of 5. Okay, but I found I enjoyed the chicken shawarma meat and the donair quite a bit more. They were served with a side of donair sauce and a garlic mayo that I hope they weren’t calling tzatziki sauce, as the closest it’s ever been to yoghurt was while stored in the refrigerator, but as a condiment for the chicken shawarma it was lovely. Their hummus was good, and I enjoyed the pickled turnip. We both opted for rice, which was alright.
The grape vine (Dolmades) leaves were stuffed with the rice, and olive oil soaked lovely flavour. A touch sour but oh so lovely when I’d not had any for years! I bought three and shared one with Caroline, which left me with 2.5. Lol. Next time I’ll settle for one.
Caroline and I both had the Greek salad with the meal, and I’m a bit indifferent to the dressing they used. The olives were pitted which Caroline liked, but I prefer them with pit for the flesh of the olive is tastier and firmer I find. I wish the salad had a bit more onion and feta.
The baklava, crisp on the top, nutty in the center, and honey soaked bottom, perfection.
While I would recommend Mezza to my friends and family and plan on a return visit, the souvlaki is okay at best, the staff were friendly, courteous and busy!
P.s can’t wait to try their Chicken shawarma wrap.

I ordered 2 Chicken shawarma poutine and 1 classic poutine they were too salty. However, the quantity was good as compared to the price they charge.

Always a friendly staff that prepare some of the best food in town. Veggies are fresh and crisp, and the chicken shawarma is very delicious.

Falafel was good. Takeout container is heavy duty black plastic and not recyclable. All the big chains use paper products now. This is an envrionmental nightmare.

Best Falafel I have had on the island. Perfectly crispy on the outside and moist inside. Will be going back regularly for my fix. Had them as take out, and even then they were delicious.

We ordered shawarma plate and wrap but chicken quantity is very less no customization for spicy level, poor customer service- taking order and making their own way no communication with the customer. Didn’t meet the expectation!

20 minute wait, chaotic scene/noisy, regular falafel wrap size is small, taste was bland. Both napkin holders were empty. Garbage was overflowing. If you want great Lebanese food visit Fahda's in Moncton, delicious.

Fresh, healthy and tasty with friendly staff. Today I tried the falafel plate with hummus and rice and it was delicious.

Soooo good and great prices! Such a great menu, hard to decide what to order. The staff work well as a team and they all seem to enjoy their work. I’ll be back on a regular basis!

Excited to welcome mezza to pei. Falafel supreme was really delicious. At last island got a authentic Mediterranean kitchen. Food up to the mark. Can't wait to try more. I recommend to all Islanders. They are amazing.
