WHY MEZZA?

First and foremost, we are a Canadian brand that supports Canadian farmers and producers. Our chicken is grain-fed, contains no steroids, hormones, or preservatives. Our chicken is marinated in house using our secret, generations-old family recipe transforming it into Our Signature! Chicken Shawarma and Chicken Souvlaki. We cook our irresistible Chicken Shawarma on a rotisserie and shave thinly sliced pieces of chicken and use immediately for our wraps, bowls, plates, and poutines. Our mouth-watering Chicken Souvlaki is cubed and skewered then cooked to perfection on a fire-grill. Our Donairs are made of 100% ground beef from Prince Edward Island. They’re spiced using our perfected spice-blend maintaining their authenticity to their roots. We cook them on our rotisserie and the meat is thinly sliced and served hot with tomatoes, onions and sweet Donair sauce. Mezza’s reputation has a lot to do with our focus- or obsession- with freshness. Our produce, when possible is sourced locally and our secret blend of spices are sourced directly from Lebanon to give us the most authentic taste. It is with great pride that we support the local industries and make our own products that are loved by many.
