| - Fabulous falafel, wonderful hummus, and the spinach fatayer was amazing.
I saw Mezza as I was driving past, looking for somewhere to eat and decided to turn around and try it. I was not disappointed. The food was great and the service from Hannah was just right.
I ordered the hummus (nicely served, wonderfully flavourful), the olives and pickles, the artichoke, the falafel appetizer, and the spinach fatayer. The waitress made sure that I knew what I was doing when I ordered the whole artichoke; it was massively large and full of flavour. She highly recommended the spinach fatayer, and it was the highlight of the meal because I didn't know what to expect from it at all.
As a vegetarian, I'm a careful connoisseur of falafel, and I must say that Mezza's does not disappoint in the least. It is one of the top four falafel I've had in Toronto.
After dinner, I decided to try a Lebanese dessert, ashta. It was interesting; it's basically a clotted cream that Mezza serves with sliced banana, honey, and crushed pistachio. On the whole, I liked it a lot, but it's probably not something that I'd have every time.
One can't go into Mezza expecting the ambiance and pricing of a Lebanese lunch grill; this is a modern Lebanese restaurant with prices and quality to match. I will be going back.
