Reviews for Mazzat Restaurant in Portland, ME
We did sit down. Had the Shish and Kabab combo, chicken Shawarma plate, side of Tabbouleh everything was good only that the... tabbouleh was a little old (they have a to go fridge and we were given one of those), still had flavor but was missing thefreshness. Would definitely recommend to those that like a traditional kebab style restaurant. I would still come back here thedishes are well prepared and executed. Read more
Really outstanding food and flavors. The seasoning of the chicken shawarma was excellent and cooked perfectly on a kebab. The... hummus had an excellent smooth texture. The owner gave us a taste of his lentil soup which was also awesome and we ordered moreto take home. Very friendly if you do decide to dine in. Read more
This is a review of the food when ordered for delivery via 2DineIn, it's possible it's better when you're there in person. I... don't normally write reviews, but this was a particularly bad meal, and I was especially surprised having seen all the goodfeedback here. We ordered a gyro plate, a falafel sandwich, and a variety of salads/mezze. All of the mezze except the shirazihad clearly been sitting in a fridge for multiple days?the olive oil on top of the labneh and in the tabouleh was hardened fromsitting in the fridge, the parsley in the tabouleh was a dull green instead of bright and fresh, the dolmas were rock hard, andthe tabouleh had that slightly acidic, fermented taste of having sat around for several days. The gyro sandwich was dry and hadno tzatziki on it, as ordered. The gyro platter (shown here) cost a whopping $20 on 2DineIn (that's a delivery rate, it's $2cheaper in store) and came with some inoffensive but not especially flavorful meat, tomatoes and romaine with a lemon wedge, aTON of rice, fries, a half-dollar-size piece of baklava, baba ghanoush, and toum (garlic whip). There was no option to choosethe accompaniment, and I'm allergic to eggplant, so much of this platter went to waste, which was disappointing. The garlic whiptasted more like plain mayo and lacked the fresh, pungent garlic flavor of true toum. The fries were the best item we got,perhaps because they were the only thing that actually tasted fresh. As I said, it's possible the food would be better inperson?I can't speak to that?but it's definitely not worth ordering for delivery or to go. Read more
My normal falafel place was closed today, so on a whim I decided to try Mazzat. I ordered the kabob plate, and was impressed.... Even for a quick delivery order, everything was well thought out, with perfectly char-grilled tomatoes and bell peppers. Thekabob itself was well-spiced without being over-spiced, and was still juicy. The fries were also subtly spiced, and still crisp,which is hard to do with delivery. My only complaint is that it was so good I had already eaten half of it before I realized Ihadn't taken a picture for this review. Read more
I order here 2-3 times a week now ???? I live upstairs from this restaurant, the food is always really good and fresh. High... quality ingredients and halal certified - I always feel good the next day after eating from here since it?s clearly nutrientdense food. Don?t listen to the bad reviews if there is any, trust the guy who orders here regularly I have also seen thebasement and grill area personally, have opened up all the fridges and freezers.. the ingredients are all fresh tempedaccordingly. I usually get the beef shawarma plate, with rice, I also opt out on the salad for double hummus on the last 2portions on the plate. The Salad is really good too and that?s from someone who is not big on vegetables, but the hummus is sogood I have to double it up ???? Try this place out if you haven?t yet and enjoy Mediterranean food here in Portland ???? Read more
100% Halal and Delicious! Very impressed with the food and customer service. We had the chicken saj, beef saj, labneh, hummus... and the bakhlava. The only thing we didn?t like is the bakhlava was dry. The best item to have was the beef saj. The workerswere so nice to us and polite. 10/10 would recommend! Read more
Okay let?s start the food. So good! It reminds of home. We got bread, falafel, and of course some dessert; all homemade. The... staff are super friendly and well prepared. The place is clean and I love the vibe. Read more
We love Mazzat so much! One of our favorite spots to grab dinner to go. Best falafel in Portland and the piece of baklava they... give you with your meal is such a treat. Everyone please please support this amazing business!! Read more
