mazaj cafe Mediterranean

First and most importantly, the food was quite good and fresh. However, this place could use a serious renovation. In the meantime, some very easy fixes would make the atmosphere better. How about some tablecloths, strings of lights, and music?? All cheap and easy to do. When we walked in, it was quiet as a tomb and very dingy. Service is slow, but nice enough. We were quite relieved when the food turned out so well. Maybe take-out would be a better option. Also, since this is a hookah bar at night, some air purifiers would be useful.

My most favorite place for hookah in Tucson. Recommend everyone to try this place. Food is also excellent.

VERY SLOW service. Only a few people in the restaurant. Came in with no sign of an employee, stood in the front for a while almost left when someone came out. I ordered 2 sandwiches to go. 40min later they still aren't done. The only employee ive seen occasionally walks around but mostly sits on his ass smoking and playing on his phone. Wont be coming back or picking up thid order again. Delivery drivers be aware taking this run WILL WASTE YOUR TIME! AVOID THIS PLACE.

While the owner can be friendly and is a decent cook. The kitchen is not sanitary and he does not fully value the hard work of his employees. As a former employee I can honestly say the place has potential but unfortunately the effort just is not there from the owner. He is often times found sleeping in the lobby first thing in the morning and occasionally during lunchtime if they don't really have any customers. If he put forth effort to the building and marketing, the place might actually stand a chance. I personally would not recommend this place to any of my loved ones purely based on what I have seen behind the kitchen door.

Best chicken shawrma I have ever had! Chicken was perfectly cooked, hummus was awesome. Only downside is a little longer waiting time.
