Cold dips, hot mezza, the Family Mezza for sharing.
Fifteen small plates built around the Mediterranean mezza table. Hummus, baba ghannouj, tabbouleh, falafel, warak enab, kibbeh, cheese rolls and more. Start light, share generously.
Mezza is the Mediterranean way to start a meal. Small plates meant for the middle of the table. The hummus, baba ghannouj, labneh, and tabbouleh are made in our Fresno kitchen daily from family recipes. If the word is new to you, here is what mezza means and how a Lebanese table works.
