Best Middle Eastern Cuisine in Salt Lake City





Layla Grill & Mezze in Holladay

When it comes to Great Middle Eastern cuisine, we don't have a lot of choices here in Utah. If you Googled Salt Lake City's Best Middle Eastern Restaurants, you would probably see a few listings for Mazza. Well, move over Mazza - there's a new eatery in Salt Lake serving outstanding Lebanese, Mediterranean & Middle Eastern cuisine and they have our locals talking about them everywhere I go. This is a neighborhood restaurant run by a family and serves food that makes you want to come back time and time again.

Mezze - Small Plates: In the Eastern Mediterranean culture, Mezze is a selection of appetizers or small plates often eaten before a meal or as a meal in its own right. Mezze is meant to be shared among friends.

Why not start your meal with the zaatar herb flatbread, a spice blend chewy bread with traces of licorice. And to accompany this is their wide selection of chilled and hot Mezze. Favorite main entrees include the Lebanese moussaka, the mougrabieh and the lamb kabobs.

Aromatic and delicious. For a wonderful dining experience of ambiance, service and cuisine, Layla Grill offers all three!

  • Mazza
    Very personal, sensual dining experience. Allow plenty of time to enjoy your evening. We had no reservations on a Saturday night and were seated within 15 minutes. With two Salt Lake locations, these charming neighborhood cafes offer a variety of traditional Middle Eastern Dishes, such as Falafel, Shawarma, Kebabs, dips and salads. The expansive menu also includes specialty platters prepared from scratch, using fresh, high quality ingredients. The beer and wine lists include a selection of Middle Eastern imports. Be sure to try one of the desserts for the perfect finish to your meal.
