Welcome to Mazra, our cozy Mediterranean hangout right here in the Bay Area. We're the Makableh brothers, Jordan and Saif, and we've brought a piece of our heart from Amman, Jordan, to share with you. This whole adventure is a family affair, deeply rooted in our love and respect for where we come from, Jordan. We're here to dish out some vibrant Levantine flavors and wrap you up in the warm, welcoming vibes of Mediterranean hospitality.

The interior is lovely! The Bay Area has been in need of a halal restaurant that can provide a somewhat more upscale atmosphere. It’s super busy but I can understand since they have a lot of customers and they are right next to Zareens. Food wise it’s not the most amazing middle eastern food I’ve had but it’s still nice. The meat was slightly overcooked. The portions were really good though. My friends and I were stuffed and still had leftovers. The staff were helpful and nice. Honestly would most definitely return if I’m looking to eat out with nice interior. Would not come here for casual eats.
From the moment we walked in, the experience at Mezra was warm, welcoming, and memorable. Dilara was amazing she greeted us with a smile, a warm welcome got us seated right away, and went above and beyond by letting us sample their freshly squeezed juices before ordering. The mint lemonade, raspberry lemonade, and melon/pineapple juice were all incredibly fresh and vibrant, and being able to taste each one made the experience even better. We ended up ordering the mint lemonade, which was outstanding. The complimentary tea was a lovely touch and very much appreciated. Definitely, small details like this really elevate the experience. You have to order and pay via the self ordering system. For starters, we ordered the Mazra Platter (comes with Falafel as well), a true standout, featuring hummus, baba ganoush, tatziki, beet hummus, and more where everything was fresh, creamy, and beautifully prepared. We got ourselves the Fattoush Salad (with chicken added) fresh, crunchy, and perfectly balanced followed by the Chicken Shawarma Wrap, juicy, flavorful, and absolutely satisfying. The baklava trio definitely was a much needed from the menu to close out our dinner on a sweet note. “Amazing, awesome, and finger-licking good” are some words that come to mind when i have to describe the food at Mazra. Every dish tasted fresh, well-seasoned, and made with care. Between the exceptional hospitality, fresh juices, complimentary tea, and outstanding food, Mazra easily stands out as a place worth going out of your way for. I’d be remiss not to say that this is an absolute must-stop if you’re traveling north or south on Highway 101.
