MEZA – Middle Eastern
Chef-owner Nazih Sebaali has been cooking Mediterranean in Orlando for close to three decades, and Meza still opens with a table of small plates: hummus buried under sauteed meat, onions and pine nuts, smoked baba ghannouj, dolmades, kibbeh croquettes, cheese borek, halloumi grilled onto ciabatta. Lentil soup, fattoush and a loaded Greek salad hold the middle ground; a subterranean cocktail lounge with more than fifty bourbons and scotches handles the rest of the evening. Fine dining without the fuss, where the spicing does the talking. Come hungry, order wide, share everything.
