I had the good fortune of hanging out with the amazing @thefoodies.sa when they invited me to join them for dinner to try out the new menu at @meezstreet. The menu is inspired and brought to life by their chef consultant @chefmaimia who was there to guide us through the menu. The place is beautifully setup to resemble a souk with the feel that you are eating outdoors. The staff are very friendly and singles have a separate seating area upstairs. I also had the pleasure of finally catching up with Farah from @jeddahoutandabout and we all sat down to feast on what was in store for us. "Musakhan Popsicle's" (SR.34) - This interpretation of the classic Palestinian dish "Musakhan" had to be my personal favourite. The chicken is cooked with sumac & caramelised onions and along with pomegranate molasses it is stuffed in dough and baked. I helped myself to a few of these and I love how the chicken was still moist and retained a lot of the flavour. "Shawarma Nachos" (SR.36) - This is not something you see everyday and there were a few misses but it delivered on taste. The small bits of chicken shawarma was delish but the nachos could have been slightly more crispier and more generous on the toppings. That being said, I loved that taste of shawarma on nacho and i'm pretty sure I will make an attempt at recreating this at home. "Street Fries" (SR.23) - There was nothing unique about the fries, but I loved the toppings and how well the fries had been cooked. "Beetroot Tabbouleh" (SR.36) - This was a refreshing and a completely new take on what I knew about Tabbouleh. The beetroot-couscous combination is a resounding win and combined with the roasted walnut & labneh makes for a delicious pre-meal snack. You can also enjoy this with Kubbus. "Rocca Salad" (SR. 38) - I am not much of a salad guy , but this rocca leaf salad combined with roasted butternut squash, caramelised pecans, feta cheese and a slight drizzle of balsamic vinaigrette really caught my attention. Get a mouthful of all these ingredients together and you will know what I meant by "caught my attention". "Eggplant Fatteh" (SR.32) - I found this to be quite okay and apart from the taste it was missing something that could have really taken this up a notch. Made with eggplants, tomato sauce, chickpeas, potato cubes, coriander & garlic, yogurt & crispy pita. "Laham Bel Ajeen" (SR. 37) - This took a lot of space on the table but it was extremely light and appetising. The beef was minced with tahini and fresh veggies and baked over a thin crispy flat bread. The yogurt dip complimented it well but the portion size isn't good enough to share. "Rus al Felfel" - I do not know where this dish originated but I absolutely loved how this was presented and cooked. The rice was seasoned and cooked in spices that I couldn't quite make out along with a tender piece of chicken and served with a dressing of nuts making this dish more of a comfort food. If anyone can tell me more about this dish, I would love to know more. "Catch of the Day" (SR. 73) - This was a disappointment largely because of how the rice was cooked. The breaded hamour with tahini & mushroom sauce was lip smacking good but it was let down by the rice. "Saffron Milk Cake" (SR. 37) - By now I was pretty stuffed but when it comes to desserts, my stomach has a way of pushing aside the main course to make space for dessert. The cake was delicate and yummy but there was barely any hint of saffron in the milk. For that price and no hint of saffron, I could have avoided this.
Mai Alhoraibi (@chefmaimia) is enthusiastic about the food she has introduced at @meezstreet and she was with us throughout the meal and wanted feedback. I can say this, her passion reflects in the food that they serve here and I can truly say it will only get...
Read moreMy family and I went here for breakfast today. We had a horrible experience because our waiter was very disrespectful to us. We were very surprised because we were kind to her and we couldn’t understand why she’s being disrespectful. First, she got our order wrong with the street fries. We asked for no ketchup which I repeated many times and she said okay. When she served the fries it came with ketchup so we asked her to return it. She came back and gave us PLAIN FRENCH FRIES which we were so shocked because we JUST asked for no ketchup. We didn’t ask for no anything. Second, she got our order wrong and she was convincing me that that’s what I said which I confirmed to which is untrue since my whole family heard the entire repeat order. Third, when she was serving our drinks, she threw the straws to the table like she’s annoyed. Because of maybe the mistakes. But we’re not even being mean, we’re just asking nicely and all. Lastly, the spinach cauliflower pizza had literally random plastic in it !!!! I can’t believe this is my experience with Meez restaurant because this is NOT my first time here. I hate that our waiter was very disrespectful to us because we feel like she’s doing that because of our race. Anyway, safe to say i will never come back to this place. And honestly, don’t too. I’m attaching a photo of the tiny plastic found on my pizza. Horrible horrible experience. The food is not even that good. It’s mid.
Edit: we spoke to the supervisor/manager and she was kind and said sorry for our experience. That was highly...
