If you're looking for phenomenal Mediterranean food, Mezze Mediterranean Grill in East Setauket is an absolute gem that should not be missed! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by the friendly staff, and the fast, efficient service set the tone for an unforgettable meal.
We started with the cold appetizer platter, which was nothing short of incredible. The hummus was velvety smooth, perfectly balanced in flavor, while the baba ganoush had a smoky richness that paired wonderfully with the pita. The pink sultan and eggplant salad were refreshing and full of vibrant flavors, offering a great variety to kick things off.
The hot appetizers were equally impressive. The grilled wings were perfectly charred, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside ā definitely one of the best weāve had in a while. The falafel was another highlight, crispy on the outside, soft and flavorful on the inside, and bursting with authenticity.
For the main course, we tried the mixed grill platter, and it was absolutely divine. The Adana and kofte were cooked to perfection ā juicy, tender, and packed with bold flavors. Every bite was a joy. The meats were complemented by a side of rice that was light, fluffy, and seasoned just right. We also tried the gyro wrap, which was packed with flavor and wrapped in an authentic Turkish flatbread that was soft yet sturdy enough to hold all the delicious fillings.
Although Mezze Mediterranean Grill is mainly a takeout spot, they offer seating inside, making it a great spot for a quick, flavorful meal on the go or a more relaxed dining experience. The food is always fresh, and you can tell the ingredients are high quality. Overall, Mezze is a must-try for anyone craving fresh, delicious Mediterranean cuisine with top-notch service! Highly...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreDispleased and often disappointed with the selection of Turkish restaurants on Middle Country Road, I decided to search Google for anything new that was relatively close by. Mezze Mediterranean Grill popped up with some excellent reviews, so I decided to give it a shot. I was pleasantly surprised! The gentleman behind the counter, John, went over the menu with me and answered all my questions regarding meat preparation, drink options, and even gave me a sizable sample of 2 dips I wanted to try. I was impressed not only with the food, but also his professionalism and attention to detail in answering all my questions. I could tell that he wanted to work for my business and keep me coming back. He made me feel valued as a customer. The atmosphere was welcoming and accommodating, and the restaurant was very clean, in fact, spotless. I was impressed.
As for the food, it was delicious. I ordered Mix Grill over bulgur with a salad. I was not disappointed! I could tell all the meat was freshly prepared and not previously frozen. The preparation was spot on! All the meats were tender and flavorful! As for the bulgur, I like mine tender with minimal spices and minimal sauce; it worked for me, and the side salad was excellent! I also ended up taking home a hefty portion of the Eggplant Sauce Mezze and the Pink Sultan. They were both freshly made and delicious! I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be back with...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreHad an incredible meal at this unassuming new Turkish takeout spot. We kicked things off with two standout dips ā the cacık, a creamy, garlicky yogurt dip reminiscent of tzatziki, and the Pink Sultan, a vibrant beet dip that was both visually stunning and delicious. The hummus was silky smooth, and the Philly spinach and feta spring rolls were perfectly crispy, packed with flavor. Honestly, I couldāve made a meal out of just the dips alone.
But why stop there? We went all in with a chicken gyro wrap, a mouthwatering dish of gyro meat smothered in a rich, savory sauce, and a mixed grill platter that gave us a taste of all the meats. Every bite was packed with authentic flavor and cooked to perfection.
Just when I thought I couldnāt eat another bite, the owner mentioned the orange cake made by his mother. Say less. I had to try it. And wow ā it was phenomenal. Imagine a cornbread-like texture with a tres leches-inspired soak that made it irresistibly moist and flavorful. Next level.
My experience with Turkish cuisine has been limited, but this spot has me hooked. They have a few small tables for dining in, but itās absolutely perfect for takeout ā whether itās a quick lunch or an easy dinner to-go. Canāt wait to work my way through the rest...
