Our Story

From Damascus to the heart of our neighborhood.

A generous Mediterranean table, in Texas, run by people who know what they're doing.

Owners Riad El Khaliabi and Irina Shlyakhova began their journey together in 2003, eventually bringing a lifetime of international hospitality to Texas. Drawing on Riad's Syrian heritage, they set out to share the flavors of his youth, the scent of warm bread, the bite of fresh herbs, and the generous spirit of the Middle Eastern table.

Mezzé means small dishes shared among friends and loved ones, and the #1 is our personal promise of quality. Every plate, every pour, every guest.
