Maza Restaurant

Had the worst restaurant experience of my life here last night. The food was okay, but the lamb we ordered was overcooked, gray and tough and everything was extremely salty and vinegary. Gross!The service was unimaginably bad. The owner was our server which only makes it even more confusing. He was rude, dismissive, and when we tried to use a gift certificate purchased from restaurant.com, he exploded and yelled at us, quieting the entire restaurant and making everyone uncomfortable. Close to tears, I just asked for the check (which was quite large since we'd all ordered entrees, appetizers and wine). The owner finally let us use the certificate after humilating our entire group, but forced us to pay in cash (Still over $60 with the gift certificate taken out.), so he stood there while we had to run to an ATM across the street instead of letting us pay with a credit card. You have been warned. Stay away from the bad food and bullying, awful service. There are countless better options in the city.

Great dining experience. The restaurant is small and cozy. The hummus, tubule, and dolma are delicious. The chicken shwarma is very good and the pickled beet salad is amazing. The lentil soup is very good too. I recommend the pickled beet salad and the dolma.
