Meez The House — Restaurant in Municipality of Al Shamal

The food at this restaurant is creative and fusion-style, and the atmosphere is lively and bright—perfect for gatherings. However, the service was extremely disappointing. Here’s a breakdown of the issues I encountered:

Forgotten Drink Order: Even though all the food was served, my drink order was completely forgotten. After reminding the staff, they brought it without offering any apology. Poor Food Service Coordination: The appetizer and main courses were brought out together, without asking how we wanted our food served or offering a proper flow to the meal. Pushy Waiter: The waiter interrupted my order and pressured me to choose a dish that he recommended. As a result, we ended up with dishes that had similar flavors and seasoning, losing out on variety. Uncomfortable Rush to Clear Dishes: After I finished my dish, the waiter repeatedly asked to clear the table while my friend was still eating, making us feel rushed and uncomfortable. At one point, the waiter even asked her to move her dish so he could clear the table while she was still eating, which led her to give up and stop eating. Failure to Provide the Bill: After asking for the bill, it was forgotten, and we had to wait longer than necessary to settle our check. Given these issues, I won’t be returning to this restaurant. While the food and atmosphere were enjoyable, the poor service made the experience far...

Review:

Our experience at Meez was a mixed bag of highs and lows. While the food was good, several aspects of our visit left us feeling disappointed.

The food itself was quite tasty, and we enjoyed the flavors of the dishes. However, the fact that the oven was not working meant that the bread was served cold, which took away from the overall dining experience. This is something that should have been addressed before seating guests or, at the very least, communicated upfront.

The staff at Meez were friendly and seemed to be trying their best, but it was clear that they were either undertrained or overwhelmed. Our order came out late, and the drinks we ordered were forgotten entirely. Additionally, once we finished our meal, we were not provided with wet wipes, which is a small but important detail that contributes to a complete dining experience.

It’s evident that Meez has potential, but there needs to be more focus on training the staff and ensuring that the kitchen is fully operational before serving guests. These improvements would greatly enhance the overall experience and ensure that diners leave satisfied.

In conclusion, while the food at Meez is good, the service and operational issues significantly impacted our visit. We hope that management addresses these concerns so that future guests can enjoy the full potential of what Meez has to offer.

Oh yeah! It's a suggestion from Selmi, "By the way, I’ve seen many people posting about this restaurant, have you tried it? It has been trending lately. Pass by it whenever you have the opportunity!"

Here I am, bright and early on a Thursday morning, breakfast at Meez The House.

The vibes are very warm and welcoming, with a great ambiance, lots of natural light, and nice interiors.

A welcome karak tea from Sultan and I went on a clicking spree.

Aha moment, fresh pommogrenate juice, simply refreshing!

I see Ahmed coming in with a trolley and voila he is preparing majboon teen wa zaitoon served with tortillas (zaatar & mexican). The burst of flavors on my palate was awesome, the taste and textures (walnuts, garlic, grapes, eggplant) dollop of cheese (feta, edam and labneh with olive oil, zaatar and sumak). The best lebanse cuisine I have witnessed live!

Now comes Ahmed again, this time with avocado toast (sour dough bread topped with avocado, fresh pumpkin, cherry tomatoes, feta cheese, pumpkin seeds etc.,) with balsamic sauce and maybe hollaindaise sauce. This was so exquisite in taste and flavor, an unforgettable experience!

Lebanese cuisine served with finesse and love!

My thanks to the entire crew at Meez The House!
