The food was great, the staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was lovely. The menu is so extensive, I couldn't figure out what to order, but I'll definitely be thinking about the moussaka until I go back again. Oh, and don't get me started on the orange sponge cake. Delish!

I always enjoy lunch at Mazi: food is great, staff is attentive and friendly, the seats are comfortable, and the noise level is generally low enough with the seats spaced well apart to have a quiet conversation without straining to hear.
