"My girlfriend and I got custom bowls and they were absolutely amazing. The ingredients are so fresh and the portions are amazing. It’s not a cheap place but the food is absolutely worth it. One bowl costed $18 but I am happy to go back and spend it again on their food."

"I recently visited Mezeh in Hamilton, NJ, and had a wonderful experience. The restaurant stands out for its fresh ingredients and flavorful dishes. The array of options for building your own bowl or wrap was impressive, allowing for a highly customizable meal. The ingredients were noticeably fresh, and each bite was bursting with flavor. The variety of toppings, sauces, and proteins ensured that there was something for everyone, whether you’re a fan of bold, spicy flavors or prefer something milder. I particularly enjoyed the falafel, which was perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The hummus and tzatziki were also standouts, adding a creamy and tangy element to the meal. The service was efficient and friendly, making the entire experience even more enjoyable. Whether you're looking for a quick lunch or a satisfying dinner, Mezeh in Hamilton is a fantastic choice. I highly recommend it for anyone in search of fresh, delicious Mediterranean cuisine."

"The food was good. I liked that they have many different ingredients, ever different rice options! However, my salad was so tiny, I wish they would put a bit more salad leaves as a base, otherwise it looked like i have half a bowl. Maybe I could have asked, I am not sure, I felt rushed by the man who seemed irritated with me for creating 3 bowls of my own."

"Mezeh is finally here! Wanted to take advantage of their buy a drink get a free bowl deal on April 11th. I’m sure plenty of us have had Cava so food items are similar. I will say the people and the atmosphere was great. But, I usually do take out anyway. Now for the food. Honestly, a little lackluster. I think some food items needed a little bit more flavor/salt. I don’t like super salty food, but I wasn’t getting any different flavors or anything that popped out at me. I wasn’t blown away by the flavors, or when I was able to try individual items before mixing my bowl. I also am not impressed with the salad options. I love Cava because you get hearty salads especially with the shaved brussel sprouts, but at Mezeh you get options of lettuce, arugula, spinach, or just spring salad. I’m sure people will disagree, but I was overwhelmed with all the toppings. I didn’t know what to get or choose and because it was my first time, I wanted a little of everything which caused commotion because my bowl would not close by the end. HA! I do like their pita they give you as it is thicker than Cava’s and you can open it up and fill it. The sauces are similar to Cava, too. I opted for S’hug and lemon garlic. Both okay, too. Also the mandarin cardamom drink was great out of the 4 they have. The food is also halal which is very nice and inclusive. Overall, I think Cava reigns superior for me, but I’m not upset at their take on Mediterranean bowls and couldn’t be upset when I only spent $3 on opening day."
