Mazaj Mediterranean — Restaurant in St. Louis

Insane. Just unbelievable. Was having such a rough day then I stumbled upon this gem. Best Palestinian food I've had outside of Palestine. Falafel was crispy & fresh (rare find), baba ghanoush was so fire, shawarma was so crazy lol you won't find shawarma like this within a 500 mile radius. Fries were better than McDonald's, hummus was very obviously made in-house, gyro plate was so well-seasoned. Not to mention, the customer service by the family (I think?) behind the counter immaculate and natural. I don't know how it took me so long to try this place. Changed the entire trajectory of my day. Just gained a 3x a week...

I loved my experience at Golden Chicken in St. Peter's, so when I heard the family was opening a new restaurant at the City Foundry, I had to check it out! I'm so glad I did - the chicken shawarma was so flavorful, I would go as far as to say it might be the best shawarma in STL! The rice was also flavorful and perfectly cooked, and I appreciated the attention to details. The service was so good, the girl at the register was very chatty, we had a great conversation about medical school and her nails

When I walked up to the counter of mazaj the employees were friendly and engaged me immediately. I’m kind of a gyro snob so I asked if it would be ok to try a cut of the beef gyro before I purchased anything. They gave me and my son a large slice of meat. I was sold. I ordered some falafel and stood back to await the order. The falafel was hand made and deep fried from scratch. Awesome. The only downside was the tzatziki sauce. The pita was great but the gyro was drowning in sauce and it wasn’t the greatest. The food court is buzzing with several unique places so I look forward to trying as much...
