Mazza Modern Kitchen - STUDIO CITY

We never have been to Mazza till this week. I knew about it, driving and walking by it since it's on Ventura Blvd. with Laurel Canyon.I looked into their menu and it looked interesting, Middle Eastern cuisine with tempting, more unusual dishes, worth trying, so I bookmarked it!This week we went to Mazza not once, but twice, LOL!First, as an anniversary dinner with reservations on their patio which is big and well heated.Nice decor and super cool stuff, helpful, but not around you too much.We tried their Blueberry Gin Fizz since I love gin and tonic and this is a nice, light cocktail, very pleasant! We also choose from their HH menu (M T from 5 pm to 7pm) a few shareables (since this is mezze Middle Eastern tapas, everything is great to share): the Jerusalem flatbread is nice and cheesy, their Moroccan chicken is sweet and spicy and has a great array of pickles on top, delicious! We also shared their Tomato Matbucha a tomato dip that comes with a hot flatbread.Tip: 10% off your bill first visit with Yelp check in! Parking garage free. Clean, nice restrooms.The food was very good, not your typical Middle Eastern fare, with surprising dishes and flavors.Second time, we come with guests that we had in town a couple of days after, a last minute decision. No reservations, patio table this time around. Cute X mas decor. Got the Blueberry Gin Fizz again which is was better this time around, more fruit, more gin, more flavor. Jerusalem flat bread was a hit, they added some huge capers on this time around. Tried their Babaganoush and Truffled mushrooms, very nice and shared the Kefta Kebab Platter, which I'd reccommend, the meat is flavorful, the garlic sauce is amazing, loved the cooling Jerusalem salad and the charred pepper and the relish pickles once again, outstanding!Another nice relaxing meal at Mazza's. Both servers we had each time were nice and helpful, first time around, Christopher helped us.It's nice to discover new places in Studio City that are solid, with interesting cuisine to put on your regular list you go to in the area!

My date and I had a great time at Mazza's. It was the first time we've been there. The food was excellent. Our server was excellent. She knew when to give us space to enjoy our conversation while making sure we were not wanting for anything. We ordered a lot of food and she kindly boxed everything after, which isn't always a given these days. The atmosphere was just very pleasant and comfortable. It was a wonderful way to spend a Sunday evening. Many thanks!

We were having dinner outside, I think it was about 46 degrees, and my friends were none too happy until the food arrived. Mazza may be one of the tastiest if not THE tastiest restaurants in LA. The ambience is friendly/casual, with a great Happy Hour. And the food is super tasty. We had Moroccan Crispy Fried Chicken, the Masabacha hummus (bread amazing), the Chicken Tikka meatballs, whole roasted cauliflower (get it super well done), salad Shirazi, and delicious glasses of pinot noir. ALL fantastic. We were a bunch of snobby LA foodies and we were raving. Seriously, this is a GREAT restaurant, people. GO.Vegetarian options: Salad, roasted Cauliflower, amazing hummus and other spreads. You can totally do this as a vegetarian.Parking: There's a ton of free parking in the lot at street level, and also below. I parked below, did not pay to valet, and took the elevator to the 2nd floor.Wheelchair accessibility: There's an elevator from the street level to the second floor.

I've been there before with friends. I had the sea bass and added some harissa on the side which completed the dish for me. The lamb last night was also very good, tender and spiced just right and accompanied with nice sautéed potatoes and pita bread. Great Mediterranean food.

One of the best meals I've had in a long time. We were a table of 4. Every dish is unique and bursting with flavor. We had the babaganush w/truffle mushroom, tomato matbucha, Florentine khachapuri, chicken Tikka masala meatballs, Moroccan crispy chicken, sweet spicy shrimp. For dessert we had banana tiramisu and the Pavlova. Both are a must have. For drinks we hade a Classic side car and Cucumber Basil martini. Both were refreshing and delicious. Our waitress took very good care of us and the general manager Paulina came by several times to check in on us. This restaurant deserves a Michelin star.
