The owner did warn me about the spice level, so thank you 👏🏽 The honey cake is definitely on repeat, not too sweet or loaded with sugar. Just right.

    An amazing meal. We ordered a few dishes including a chicken platter with vegetables as well as lamb with round noodles and some Kabab. The spices were adequate and the taste was amazing. It's definitely a uniquely blended mix of spices. The service was excellent and the staff were very friendly and helpful. There was a single table so it's not really a place to sit and eat but we took it to the nearby park and ate outside. I d recommend this place for anyone looking for a unique taste of Uyghur food.

    The food is awesome. Everything is spicy so beware. The blue can of horse milk like pop is actually a tangy yogurty drink that is the perfect compliment to the spicy food. Prices are a bit high and food is borderline too spicy otherwise it would be 5 stars. Had the Uyghur kevap, chow me fen and the unnamed drink. Will be back to try the honey cake.

    I recently tried the chicken salad and fried noodle dishes at Mezze Uyghur Cuisine and overall, I had a pleasant dining experience. The food had a spicy and numbing flavor that I enjoyed, and the portion sizes were generous. However, one downside was the waiting time. Despite the long wait, I would still recommend trying the food at Mezze Uyghur Cuisine. The flavors were unique and delicious, and the portion sizes were definitely worth the price. Just be prepared for a bit of a wait during busy hours.

    What a great find! We never had such interesting and uniquely flavoured food. The chicken noodle “salad” was something we have never tasted before. Wonderful conversation with a friendly owner made for a very pleasant evening. We will be back.

    Really interesting tastes and flavours! The fellow who owns the restaurant is really kind and very informative about his food! It is wonderful to be able to try such unique dishes. There is only one small table so I would consider this more a take away place.

    Been wanting to try Mezze since last year because it’s a halal Uyghur restaurant but just never really had a chance to visit. I ordered Chow Mee Fen and Mezze House Noodle for my first visit to this restaurant. They don’t have a seating area (well, technically there is but only 1 table and 2 chairs) so most orders are takeouts. The proteins are mostly chicken and lambs. I believe there’s no beef and I’m actually not a fan of lamb but I changed my mind after I tasted the Mezze House Noodle because it’s so fresh and light, tastes so unique, not overwhelming and the lamb came in thin slice so it’s tender and most importantly, doesn’t smell like lamb - which I like it that way. The Chow Mee Fen comes with chicken and like a red soup. It was okay. If I’d ever go back, I’ll definitely go back again for the Mezze House Noodle. Maybe also try their plov, laghman, and samsa.

    This was my first time having Uyghur Cuisine. It was very delicious. I really liked the spice of the dish. Really nice staff and it was ready very quickly after ordering. I will definitely go again and try different menu items.

    Exceeded my expectation, the food was delicious. I loved the deep fried naan bread, only wish I got it with lamb instead of chicken!! If I was only ordering for myself and looking for a quick bite 100% I would go with the noodle dish. But if I sharing the two dishes makes a perfect combination. The lamb had great flavour and soft, unfortunately the chicken was dry. Overall very happy

    It serves really authentic foods. It’s way more numbing and spicy than Szechuan dishes. I was really shocked in a good way. The Dough of Samsa was light and flaky, and lamb and cumin were well balanced. The best dish wash cold chicken dish. I can have it every day seriously. I miss them already!

    Delicious, with bold flavours and great service! One of the best restaurants we've tried for Uyghur cuisine and a great choice for tasting something new. Strongly recommend the fried lamb and naan, the lamb is tender and the naan is full of flavour! + the Samsas are awesome, definitely a must try

    Such an awesome place to have authentic Uyghur cuisines! The Uyghur plov and Chow Mee Fen are exactly the same flavors as I had in China couple years ago. Will definitely come back and try more dishes:)

    Was very excited to try this restaurant as the owners are from a very small part of China and was looking forward to trying a lot of their authentic dishes. However after many attempts and selections of everything on the menu I can openly state that I'm disappointed.... I've tried all of the dishes here but a majority of the times I have ordered their big plate chicken 大盘鸡 and 鸡肉拌米粉 chicken ban mi fen. Unfortunately it was always a hit or miss of either being undercooked/over watered and bland/or even burnt at times but today we ordered the chicken ban mi fen and found hair in our meal. To he honest it was way too thick and curly to be hair from the top of someone's head so I was definitely not impressed with this. Won't be coming back as I haven't had as many wins as losses with Mezze and will need to have food inspections/foodsafe done soon too to make sure no one else has to go through my experiences. The price is also way too expensive for dishes with dishes of these quality....

    Awesome place! Food is really good. Total hidden gem along the road. Friendly service. The kababs are delicious. And their naan is great. Overall great experience. There is however only one table. So you may need to take out.

    There is a girl with a Chinese face inside who has a very bad attitude and bad reviews. The food is very good, but stay away from this girl.
