mezeh — Restaurant in Leesburg

The chicken, steak, rice and pita were all delicious. The hummus portion was so small I forgot it was on my plate. I felt very uncomfortable when ordering as the last taking my order seemed frustrated and unhelpful with me and my young kids experiencing the restaurant for our first time. The kids options were not conducive for kids. It shouldnt even be an option as I can't imagine any kids eating food with that much flavor and spice. We left disappointed in the service and inability to make an expection for a 5 and 7 year old who only wanted rice, chicken and bread. The lady said there were no options for substitutions. My kids had no interest in what was included as options and only wanted the pita bread as a side. The lady felt it necessary to remind me repeatedly that we would be charged extra for the pita and the tablespoon of hummus. We will be taking the extra time to drive from Leesburg to Claiborne parkway for CAVA next time..I was very excited when this place was coming soon... But now we know what it is and won't be back until some learning and...

A mediterranean spot with a large dining area. They have a couple booths, regular tables with chairs and high-top tables with stools. It's very industrial and minimalist-like. I quite like it. It was also fairly clean, especially for having a lot of customers coming in.

I opted to make my own grain bowl with white basmati rice, chicken kebab and an assortment of toppings and lemon garlic and tzatziki sauces. The baba ganoush, caramelized eggplant and sumac cucumbers were so delicious! The portion was very filling and was very much welcomed because I was absolutely starving! I also purchased a fountain drink and chose the peach drink. It was actually quite refreshing: not too sweet or anything.

While they weren't packed when I came in, they had a constant stream of customers ordering take-aways and a handful were dining in. If the dining area was packed, it definitely could be quite loud. For nicer weather, they do have several tables and chairs outside to eat at! Definitely would be good when the sun is shining!

Overall, great food and solid...

We have ordered from here a few times. The first time was before the grand opening. We ordered the pizza and it was amazing. After that, it disappeared off the menu for a while. When it came back it wasn’t the same but still tasty. This last time we went, it was a total nightmare. The online ordering didn’t work so my husband went inside to order pizza. They informed him that was an online only item. So we tried again and were successful. My husband went inside at pick up time and it wasn’t ready. He watched the employees call for help on the phone because no one knew how to make the pizza. After waiting 40 minutes after our pick up time, he was handed two pizzas. Let me tell you that these people have never eaten a pizza before. It was cold and the sauce was on the side. Nothing was cooked. Cheese was hardly melted. I sent my husband back in and they added more cheese to the same pizzas and drizzled the sauce on top and ran it through again. Not only were we not offered fresh replacements it took about an hour in total to get dry and incorrectly...
