I just attended my company Christmas party on Saturday night. Second year in a row, for a reason! The owner, the staff and everyone there are amazing As for the food, over the top delicious. Could not ask for a better place to meet with friends or coworkers or a large group they have you covered no matter what your needs. Thank you to Jean and his great Team. It was a wonderful meal as always and such a warm place to enjoy the best of the season.

I had my husband’s 60th birthday celebration at El Mazaj. We had such a fantastic experience here! The food was abundant and absolutely delicious, with every dish exceeding our expectations. The owner, Jean, went out of his way to make sure everything was perfect and that we were enjoying ourselves β€” his attention and hospitality truly made the evening special. The ambiance was lively, fun, and full of great energy. We highly recommend this amazing venue!

I recently celebrated my birthday at El Mazaj, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! From the moment we started planning, the team went above and beyond to be accommodating, caring, and welcoming. They made us feel like we were part of the family, and that warm, personalized service really made the celebration extra special. It was a wonderful experience from start to finish!

I recently celebrated my birthday at El Mazaj restaurant , and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! From the moment we started planning to the end the team was incredibly accommodating, caring and welcoming, they truly made us feel like family .
The food was absolutely delicious as always, every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. You can really taste the love and generosity that goes into everything they serve. They were generous in their unlimited mezza and grilled meats and everyone kept raving about how good everything was.
The staff were amazing. So attentive, friendly and professional, making sure everything ran smoothly throughout the evening. They went above and beyond to make the night special and I’m so grateful for their warmth and hospitality.
If you haven’t been to el mazaj , I highly recommend checking it out. Whether it’s for a special occasion or just a nice night out, you’ll be treated to great food, great service and genuine hospitality. Thank you El Mazaj for making my birthday unforgettable !

Delicious food. Catering is beautiful and tastes just as good as it looks. The parties are the best, great vibes and best venue for Lebanese singers. The owners Jean and Issa create the best experience for their customers along with there amazing staff. El Mazaj is a perfect spot for big events like weddings, celebrations and more, the layout creates a perfect canvas for decoration. Overall 11/10, best restaurant, best venue, best food, best staff.
