This place is an absolute banger! No it’s not fine dining. No they don’t have table service. But this is best lunch counter in the area and probably is a top 3 restaurant in the whole Grass Valley / Nevada City area.

It’s so wonderful to find a healthy, conscious eatery in Grass Valley! Super casual and clean place, the staff were kind and welcoming and they answered all of our questions. The food itself is ! *chefs kiss* everything tastes fresh and is made from scratch. This crew knows what they’re doing! Highly recommend if you’re looking for an easy place to grab lunch that’s delicious and doesn’t break the bank. ☺️

Everything I have had is delicious and fresh. The Sabich bowl was fantastic with so many different items for variety and flavor. The fried eggplant is the ultimate comfort food. They also have gluten free and vegan options.

As an Israeli and a die-hard foodie, I usually turn into a bit of a food snob when it comes to Mediterranean dishes. But this hidden gem I found in Grass Valley knocked my socks off!

I wish I could have taken a pic of my meal but baby it did not last on the plate! Chelsea was on fire on the line, the woman moves with finesse. Mac was super friendly and helped me decipher the menu. The way she described each dish honestly made it hard to pick. It all sounded so good. These ladies deserve a raise. I will be back to Meze next time I’m in town.

Great food, loved the Vegan Bowl all the parts fit together so well. The flavor profile of the sauces was top notch, the falafel was crispy on the outside and moist inside, and the key lime pie was sweet and tart. All I can say is, I’ll be back every time I visit the area.

Great flavors! Their array of salads and mixed greens complement the proteins along with the sauces. Very friendly, low-key vibe. Loved the international music. Will definitely return.

This place is absolutely amazing. My husband has traveled to Israel and says this is the best Israeli food he’s had in the US. You can tell the ingredients are high quality and everything is made fresh to order. Super delicious flavor profiles and it’s healthy for you too. Love how many vegan options they provide!!! Have tried everything vegan on the menu at this point and have not been disappointed once! Fave restaurant in Grass Valley!

I first experienced Alon and Tal’s food at the farmers market in Nevada City and would always stop by and get a falafel pita each week. I’m glad they opened a store front to enjoy their food at! You can’t go wrong with the beef/lamb Schwarma or I love their paleo bowl. All the flavors are so bright, fresh and you feel great after eating there. Definitely one of my favorite spots in all of Nevada County.

Very delicious hummus, soups, and standard Middle Eastern food cooked by beautiful women. Good falafel; not too salty. There are places where I always order the same thing, but here, I will be back to try most of the food on the menu.
