Every item we ordered tasted so fresh n full of flavor! Chicken shawarma was a nice surprise with a live shawarma on skewer! Highly recommend.
Food was immaculate overall. Jess was an amazing server. Just two things I’d change. Wait to bring the bill until it’s asked, I’m sure it’s standard procedure but if I wanted to order more it shuts that down. And second, the coconut malabi needs less or no salt at all in the base, it over powered it.
Came here for a long overdue date night with the hubby. Good food, polite service, comfortable seating, but noisy ambience (I’ve come to expect that at any fancy/nice restaurant in Austin - if I want to talk I have to yell). Although we initially skipped ordering a ‘dip’ we changed our minds and ordered the whipped feta dip once we saw the bread it comes with. Definitely the right call, that bread was delicious. The cucumber & labne was ok, refreshing as a cucumber is bound to be but nothing special. The seared octopus and lamb kebab were good. The eggplant sabich was much better than I had anticipated - that eggplant was delicious and had in a light but flavorful coating. We were too full from the meal so we skipped dessert.
A beautiful restaurant with nice interiors and great vibes. Staff is friendly, warm and welcoming. Food was good. The bread was freshly baked, hummus was tasty, the pickle plate was too good. Feta was great. The best was burrata and falafel. Overall we had a great time and would love to go back to this restaurant sometime soon.
Ezov is such an amazing restaurant from the food to the service, I give them easily 5 stars I actually first went there a year ago with my husband and I had already a great experience so I decided to go back this year for my birthday with my friends... The food was again so good (can't decide what's my favorite dish) and on top of this, the staff of the restaurant had left a birthday card for me with everyone wishes.... As we say, it's these types of details that count! I thought this was very sweet, and this is definitely why it makes Ezov standing out from other restaurants. They really deserve all the best with such attention! Thanks again for the card, the great evening, and the delicious food I will for sure come back with no question!
Came for a celebratory dinner with the hubby, service was great, food and ambiance was amazing. Loved everything we ordered! Definitely shareable portions. Some of the best Mediterranean food I’ve had since moving to austin for sure.
Has to be one of the best restaurants in Austin... and that is a hard place to contend to. I’d say it’s a trophy award winning ATX experience. If you’re reading this and looking for the best experience possible in the food realm... search no more... You have found it! Absolutely amazing! Two thumbs up! Highly/highly recommend!!! Can’t wait to go back.
Ezov is exactly the kind of Austin restaurant you want to check out. Very unique interior, dim lighting, pretty set up, not to mention the best Mediterranean food I’ve ever had in Austin. The portion sizes for the price you paid was worth every dollar. Food was 10/10. Must get the beef & lamb manti!!!
