Persia is also where the word meze comes from. Mediterranean food is a bit of a catch-call phrase for many foods that are common to cultures in the former Ottoman lands. PS: Modern day Iran is not on the Mediterranean sea, but the...

, less limiting in menu choices than mezes or dim sum. and it’s a nice word, easy to say, and i think it works.

Agree with your tapas example. When we go out for mezes, the table gets really crowded when all the food comes out. We stack any empty plates to the side, leaving room for those items that we are still working on. And the waiter...

at Red Egg — $3.50 Sheep’s milk ravioli with brown butter and sage at Kefi — $9.95 Sweetbreads with spinach, crispy shallot and garlic meze at Kefi — $7.95 Potato pancake at Sarge’s — $3.50

Looking at the Toronto Life’s May issue, I see restaurant ads from Pasquale Bros., Mezes, The Sultan’s Tent/Cafe Maroc, Crown & Dragon, Brix, Korean Grill House, Messini Authentic Gyros, Hot House Cafe, Le St. Tropez,...

reminds me that Ouzo, which used to be in Normandy Island, has moved down to South Beach (same neck of the woods as Sardinia). Haven’t been since they moved but it was pretty good at the old location – lots of meze,...

Our granddaughter 6 eats everything, including stinky cheese, smoked salmon, veggies etc. However the 4 yo will not eat any fruits and vegetables. although we do not lie to her, we serve her "meze" (greek word for appetizers),...

't happening. The place is doomed to fail. I get the same gut feeling about Rocca as I did about Meze' in Charlestown, over-built w/no long-term staying power. This is NOT destination dining. I know it’s early and I know it...

disappointment is the food. Their assorted meze platter is generous and delicious – possibly the best and cheapest on the Danforth. Beyond that, they don’t try very hard. I think they have become tired of the grind. A...

For me, sharing or not seems to depend on the company and the restaurant. It’s a very long “tradition” among family and old friends that everyone orders a different dish in a Chinese (and most Asian)...

to Greece. We went to the Dionysus restaurant across from the Acropolis, and watched the Sol et Lumier show from the patio while we had mezes and ouzo until the late late show was over. When we asked our waiter to get a cab for...

and pitchers of caipirinha we’ll be set. Out of falafel as well- but I hear the meze is good. Location: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=2960+Zelda+Rd,+Montgomery,+AL+36106,+USA&ie=UTF8&z=16&iwloc=addr&om=1 Menu(at bottom):...

such a bad rap here. My friends and family said they weren’t dressed well enough for Chang Mai or Tum Rup Buffet at Falafel King uptown -It’s my 9 year old’s favorite and I I could eat gyros and Meze until I...

't serve the lamb burger for dinner; we asked if they could bend the rules but waitress said no (which I understand). Had the lambjoun and meze platter. Like Red, big portions and good intentions but slightly off in execution. My...
