Reviews for Mezze Cafe - Mediterranean Grill & Hookah Lounge in Austin, TX

Great atmosphere and food was good. Only shady part was that they charge you some sort of service fee without mentioning it so... when we got our bill it was higher than expected which kind of rubbed the group the wrong way. Parking was also very difficultto find. Response: We didn’t see the disclaimer, but regardless we only had a total of 6 people at the high point and evenless than that throughout the night so not sure why it was still charged. Read more

I got the Kafta Kebab plate with Tabbouleh and Fries. It was delicious! Service was great, very friendly staff. My friends and I... ate indoors (which was still a bit cold in there but not as bad as outdoor seating of course). The Blueberry mint hookah and themint tea were also great. They also have a belly dancer, not sure if it’s a regular thing but we didn’t stay long enough tosee it. Will definitely be back! Read more

The sat. Belly dancing show begins at 10:30 pm. The Persian tea with mint was lovely along with the kanufe dessert. Had the... Kibbe and falafel along with the tashi shook chicken plate with fattoush and hummus. Also tried the avocado smoothie. Read more

I had a great experience here! The hummus was fantastic and gyro was delicious. The service was amazing. The vibe and atmosphere... was unmatched. Sam made my first experience memorable, I look forward to coming back! It smelled so good I had to eat it beforeI took a picture ???? Read more

I want to say thank you for the hospitality from the entire staff here. I flew in Tuesday for a business trip and came in early... to get work done. I met Farah, and she took very good care of me! Recommended some items and specials off the menu and was veryattentive to my needs in the few hours I was there! The following day, I met Adel, and he and I had great conversations snoutthe business, he hookah industry and most importantly, the atmosphere at Mezze Cafe. He walks around and checks with all thetables to ensure they are offering the best customer service. The next time a visited, I met with Hussam. Also another greattime and great convos as they attended to customers and myself. He recommended the Knafe- and I will give you a tip, the best Ihave had in my life. There is something about the texture and the taste that I will never forget. I can still taste it! Bottomline- the attentiveness From the staff I met along with others that were working those days was phenomenal. It’s rare to getthat much attention and care at a lounge. As a previous lounge owner, I pay very close attention to details, I’m veryparticular on how I examine customer service and standards. A+ thank you to the owner and the amazing team for creating thisatmosphere. Read more

This place has the best vibe, food and service. It’s such a hidden gem, but we will be coming back as long as we live in... Austin. The serving size was extravagant, and we ate it so fast we didn’t get pics! Amazing outside patio where dogs arewelcome also :) Read more

After a long plane ride over, this was the perfect little place for a beautiful meal, packed with flavour, authenticity and... simple fresh ingredients. Definitely don’t miss out on the baklava - THE best and softest and moist and buttery flakey littlepillow of heaven. Enjoy it with their coffee or black tea. You will not be disappointed … This place doesn’t compromiseeither - they get the food AND the hookah right. The owners and staff are so accommodating and friendly, so it was an absolutepleasure. Great patio atmosphere too — would be cool for hosting and outdoor function or event. Planning on going back oncemore before leaving! Read more

So I read all the negative reviews before visiting this cafe because I was trying out a new hookah place in Austin for the first... time. The ambience, service, food and the waiters get 10/10. The music however was a bit too loud for my liking, the hookah wasalso not very great I’d give it 7/10. Overall, the place is actually nice, chill and very lively. And oh, the belly dancer’sperformance was remarkable. A must visit place for the kind of ambience they have. Read more
