“Stopped by Mazmez Middle Eastern Grill for the first time and wasn’t expecting it to be this good.

Ordered a mixed grill plate and everything came out hot and fresh. The meat was tender with a nice char, and the portions were actually filling. The garlic sauce and hummus were on point.

What I liked most was how consistent everything felt — nothing rushed, nothing off. Staff were welcoming without being over the top.

This is one of those spots you end up adding to your regular rotation.“

“Usually a menu with everything on it is a sign a restaurant doesn't do anything well. However, BYG is an exception to that rule. They have something for everyone on their menu - from Greek gyros and Italian pastas to Buffalo wings and burgers - and all of it (which I have tried) is delicious! Great spot for a family dinner night when everyone is feeling something different.“

“Nov 30, 2025
I had their harissa chicken bowl with a skewer of salmon kabob on a side. It was alright, nothing extraordinary.
$19,48 - including tax. They are kinda stingy on protein, that amount of chicken was for kids size meal. That’s why I had to add salmon ($4 for 2 tinny pieces of salmon).“
