Arlington locals, looking for a healthier option to fuel your shopping? Mezeh Mediterranean Grill has the answer to your hunger pangs. The popular fast-casual chain is opening a new location in the Pentagon City mall later this year, reports local media outlet ARLNow.
The restaurant, beloved for its assembly-line approach to Mediterranean fare, will be opening in 1100 South Hayes Street this spring. Mezeh’s Fashion Centre at Pentagon City storefront has been in development for quite awhile; initially slated for a 2020 opening, locals may have begun to give up hope of enjoying the eatery’s cuisine. However, the patience of Arlington diners will soon be rewarded; Mezeh is set to open in April.
Mezeh opened its first location in Virginia in 2012. The chain has since expanded to over 40 locations, many concentrated in the DMV region.
Mezeh won fans over through its commitment to freshly-prepared cuisine, made in an open concept kitchen for full transparency. The company’s website describes its ethos, stating: “ There’s nothing cookie-cutter about Mezeh’s uncompromising approach to providing customers with a premium chef driven fast-casual dining experience. While each of our locations have a similar aesthetic, each is unique in its own and tailored to maximize the environment in order to create an inviting atmosphere.”
