Sip. Dip. Share.

A family table where Middle Eastern flavors, Texas warmth, and a well-poured drink come together. Small plates worth lingering over — and a long, generous list of reasons to stay.

Our Story

From Damascus to the heart of our neighborhood.

Owners Riad El Khaliabi and Irina Shlyakhova began their journey together in 2003, eventually bringing a lifetime of international hospitality to Texas. Drawing on Riad's Syrian heritage, they set out to share the flavors of his youth — the scent of warm bread, the bite of fresh herbs, and the generous spirit of the Middle Eastern table.

Mezzé means small dishes shared among friends and loved ones, and the #1 is our personal promise of quality. Every plate, every pour, every guest.

The Vibe

An evening at our table.

Warm light, slow plates, a long pour. A camera-phone glimpse of what dinner feels like at Mezzé #1 — when the lanterns come on and the first cocktails hit the table.
