Had dinner at Maza and the food was very good. As a person of Lebanese descent the food was more authentic than most middle eastern restaurants. The air conditioner did not work the night we dined and that may have caused the owner to be agitated. He did get friendlier later in the evening . But, the food was good... more

Terrific.

We were taken to this restaurant by a friend that wanted to try it out. Never had Labenese food before and really enjoyed it. The manager/owner of the restaurant was very friendly and went out of his way to recommend the dishes. Portion size was good and the prices were also good. Try the Lebanese red wine it was good.... more

The owner was working that night and without even knowing ihad the coupon he was very rude in greeting me and my family of 5. We ordered food and had a late lunch previously and he said "you only want 4 appetizers and... more

From the moment we stepped in Maza, we felt welcome! I had an amazing dish with stuffed eggplant and a side of lambchops while my dining partner had the beef shawirma. Both were seasoned very well and cooked to perfection. We went on a Monday and it was very slow, so we didn't experience any of the problems others have... more

Awful restaurant and very bad service. I would never eat at this restaurant again. We got the food after 3 hours of waiting. I left at the end and so many people left their tables because they did not get their food. Very impolite manager, do not look at other people rating. This place doesn't even worth of try. more

Maza is on Lincoln Ave not too far from Diversey. It has a thin storefront window. It's a small, but nicely decorated in a cosmopolitan style rather than heavy Lebanese motif. I've been to Maza about five times. Each time, I had a consistent experience as follows: Pros: -Warmly greeted by the owner and host. -Not always quickly seated. Maza... more

I will go back just for the soup alone. Lamb was great. Chicken a little over done. Way above average for a small restaurant with friendly atmosphere more

This was our second trip to Maza, and our first experience was very good. We were so pleased that we booked a reservation for 6 people 2 days in advance. When we arrived at the appointed time, people were standing in the street all with reservations at the same time as ours, and the tables were completely full with no... more
