Mezeh Crystal City - Arlington

I really enjoyed the cozy and relaxed atmosphere of this restaurant. The fresh ingredients were delicious and I loved that I could choose exactly what went into my bowl or wrap. The food itself was excellent and tasted great.

I want to start by saying that I love this restaurant and have dined here several times, with plans to continue doing so. However, I have noticed that some of the employees are not fully aware of which ingredients are vegan. After finding their allergen chart on their website, I discovered that several items are not vegan due to the presence of milk or egg, such as the pita, veggie kefta, couscous, baba ganoush, spicy hummus, s'hug dip, Greek beet dip, and harissa. There are also some more obvious non-vegan options like feta. I have included the allergen chart for reference.

Chipotle style Mediterranean food. Choose your base then add your bits. They had lots of veggies and 2 different types of falafels which are super moist and not dry at all. You can add as many bits as you want for $9.95! I loaded all the veggies onto mine. Great price for good quality food.
