"For a festive night out with friends passing platters around a table on a sprawling, covered back patio, Mazra gets the job done. The indoor space is pretty too, with lots of plants and colorful murals, and makes for an ideal setting for eating fall-off-the-bone six-hour braised lamb shank and charred whole heirloom cauliflowerdoused in creamy tahini. Beverages are limited, but meals come with complimentary tea, and you can BYOB." - Gabi Moskowitz

Their new Redwood City location has a stylish dining room and a patio flourishing with plants and a fountain. The falafel mezza sampler showcases an excellent selection of sauces and pickles, including tzatziki, hummus, roasted beet dip, and baba ghanoush. For smoky meat lovers, there’s duck, branzino, lamb chops, and kebabs all grilled over mesquite wood." - Octavio Peña
