Beware of hidden dairy!

They fed me dairy even though they told me they would omit it. I am lactose intolerant. I wish I had not dined there. Their falafel was great, but I am suffering still from the meal they told me was "vegan".

Pros: Falafel , Atomsphere, Location

Cons: Hidden dairy, Indigestion from hidden dairy, Being lied to by friendy server

Eggs, really?!

I went with a group of vegans and was surprised and disappointed to learn from the server that the pita has egg in it, so we couldn’t try the hummus or baba ghanouj. They also didn’t have any of their vegan bread available, so we made do with their salad choices, some falafel, and their lentil soup.

The server reported that the salad dressings for the house salad were not vegan, and they offered a pomegranate vinaigrette dressing, which turned out to be too tart.

There was a seasonal house salad made with tomatoes, cucumber, red onions with a lemon / olive oil dressing that was quite good. I think it was called shirazi.

The lentil soup was well-seasoned and tomato-based. The smaller cup-sized serving was a generous portion — but it was garnished with the previously described non-vegan bread croutons.

The tabouli was excellent — it tasted fresh and was heavy on the parsley and mint, which I like. The falafels were great. We had them as a side order drizzled with a vegan tahini.

The ambience is lovely, the service excellent. It was just too bad that their version of a Mediterranean and middle eastern staple isn’t vegan.

It’s probably worth going back another day and to confirm that the pita is really not vegan. The menu is detailed so that customers know whether there will be feta or egg in the dish, but otherwise nothing is labeled vegan.

Pros: Falafel, Tabouli

Cons: Non-vegan pitas

Shirazi salad special — quite good! Tomatoes, cucumber, onions (a lot!) with with herbs and lemon/olive oil dressing. at Meze Moon in Chico

House salad with pomegranate vinaigrette. The pomegranate vinaigrette was too tart (like pure pomegranate syrup/molasses) and wasn’t very good; maybe get a lemon/olive dressing at Meze Moon in Chico

Cup of lentil soup; those croutons are likely non-vegan. I removed them and set them to the side at Meze Moon in Chico

Wonderful meal, delightful ambiance, friendly

So incredible that they made me a special vegan plate that showcased the falafel, humus, rosted veggies, olives, fresh tomato salad, all wonderful flavors, and a delight to the taste buds 😋

So fresh and good! The service was excellent. Such nice atmosphere. The owner also has a resturant in San Francisco. High quality at Meze Moon in Chico

Graciously greeted by the owner. Emin, welcomed us and said "make yourself at home, what's your pleasure?". I would like you to prepare something vegan and gluten-free. Walah! Now at Meze Moon in Chico
