"This is a unique and fantastic dining experience that, for the right group or person, will provide a meal/night out you won't forget. There's just too much here to cover in one review, but if you love Mediterranean/Middle Eastern cuisine, are open to a curated food adventure from a talented chef and incredibly hospitable host, and want to enjoy the warmth of a good meal in a comfortable home setting with the ease and pacing of a few hours to relish and delight in, then you're a great fit for this evening."

"I am so grateful that my new friend Madi suggested Dervish Mazza. My partner and I wanted something special for a celebration and we were very pleased with the delicious meal Mo provided."

"We’ve enjoyed Mo’s food at his home and via take-away in the past, and so asked him to put together a plan for a large holiday party at our home, which would have been a challenge for many caterers. From the initial menu planning, through each check-in with Mo and then all the details of the event itself, Mo handled it all with ease and professionalism. Every detail was thoughtfully considered including the serving platters that showed off the food to it’s best and even homemade NA cocktails for guests. Mo’s cuisine is some of the best we’ve had in the Cities, and all our guests got to experience that same quality, with flavors many had never tried before, all presented beautifully, and with Mo there to walk them through the experience. We are still getting notes from guests raving about the food! If you are looking for a truly memorable experience for your guests, I can’t recommend Mo enough for your next event."

"My wife and I took some close foodie friends for dinner at DervishMazza! This was one of the most memorable nights in a long time. The food was stunning. We had a six course meal pared wonderfully with homemade cocktails and wine. Each beverage selected to complement the food. Each dish was very different and was so tasty I feel like I wanted to just keep eating. Everything we were served was made from scratch, and you could tell because the flavors were so rich and so full. Also part of the experience was we were invited into Mo’s house as his guests. He treated us very well. Laughing with us and joking and telling us wonderful stories. The whole evening can only be described as magical. I highly recommend this as a place to go to lose track of time and feel like you have been transported to another place. It was stunning."

"This was an incredibly magical experience; Myself and two friends enjoyed the Mazza dinner event with multiple courses, drinks and dessert. The food was absolutely divine, flavorful, and we really enjoyed Mo’s passion for hospitality which came through with the impeccable interior design of the space (cozy and filled with art and warm color tones), the sharing of the background and ingredients behind each dish, and the thoughtful presentation of each course. We will absolutely be coming back again and recommending to any and all friends to experience this absolute gem of an experience!! I also really appreciated the thoughtful accommodation of providing incredible NA options for our guest who was not drinking."
