Mezzaterranean

Located in an older strip mall, it's easy to miss this place. The good reviews we found on Google led us here. The cashier agreed that the 3-meat combo was the best value on their menu. The volume of food it came with was indeed impressive. The meats were good, grilled perfectly. The rice was subpar, for sure, made with parboiled rice. Not very authentic. The hummus was decent, the pita was commercially bought, served in its original packaging. My daughter enjoyed the salad, which I was ok with, but not too impressed. I enjoyed the baklava which was generously portioned, not swimming in syrup, flaky and delicious. The service is fast-foodish and the wait for our food was reasonable. Even when opting to dine in, our food was served bagged and in to go containers. Don't expect to be wowed. You will leave full at least.

Kafta kabob was tiny. The last time I got food from here I had leftover kabob. Today the kabobs were yummy but too skinny like hot dogs. And the rice, while tasty wasn't middle eastern.. more like Uncle Ben's.... Hummus is fantastic though!

The restaurant is in a tiny strip mall between a Dentists office and one of those stores that sell water. It's decently lit and looks clean enough. The person who works behind the counter didn't smile the entire time we were there but did allow someone who wasn't a paying customer to use the bathroom, so that was nice. When it came to the food, a friend of my daughters ordered a dish that he did not find enjoyable at all. He was the only one of our group (3 adults and 1 child) to order food here so I can't fairly judge them in the quality or flavor of their food. I just know that my daughters asked her friend how the food was, he offered her a bite and as she took a bite he said (a little too loudly) that it wasn't very good. I gave him a sharp look trying to let him know that the cashier and cook had probably heard him so he sheepishly stopped speaking.

First time eating here. Read decent reviews and figured we give the place a try. First, the price was $20.99 each plate and was not posted on the wall menus. I thought we bought the party platters and had to ask how many people were eating. Second, the place was empty and it was lunch time on a Saturday. Third, the lamb was dry and likely frozen for too long. Salmon had a fishy taste so probably frozen as well. Plus, way too many sub par sides that added fake weight. The pita bread came in a plastic store brand packaging? Overall, the quality of the food is not worth the price.

Located on the corner of Malachite and Foothill blvd, in the same shopping center as Autozone, Mezzaterranean is a family owned restaurant specializing in Lebanese food. I recently had their beef kabob plate, and it was so good, I was left speechless. Speechless, not because i didn't have the words. Speechless because, I was too busy eating. The chunky cubes of beef were perfectly cooked. Every piece was soft, tender, and lean (no fat whatsoever). Combined with the flavorful rice, hummus, and salad, the beef kabob platter was nearly a perfect meal. The next dish I want to try will be the Shawarma Fries. Check this place out. They opened in 2014 and have a sister location in West Covina.
