MAZI im Morgarten : Morgartenstrasse 26, 8004 Zürich

Went for an ouzo summer-mezze night with friends. The appetizers are tasty and they do not disappoint. We especially loved the Feta Sticks and the Spinach Burek. The atmosphere is nice especially in these long hot summer evenings

Nice Greek and we had the ability to sit outside in great weather. Food, service and location were very nice.

This restaurant has a great atmosphere and service but unfortunately the food did not fully live up to our expectations - especially for the hefty price. Starting off with the Haloumi fries that were a major letdown, as they lacked the desired crispy texture. Instead they were soft and didn’t have the crunch you’d expect (possibly it could have also been a bad batch). The biggest disappointment however was the Gyros. Though we really liked the meat & sauces that accompanied the dish, our main concern was the bread. Four little triangles of pita bread (see pictures) is not enough for two people and definitely not what you can expect for 36 Francs! We had to order a second batch which we got charged extra for - something we felt unnecessary given the already steep price. On a positive note, the ambiance felt inviting and we enjoyed the cozy and warm interior. Staff was very friendly from the get go and tried their best, though there was a minor hick-up in forgetting our bread but things like those can happen. Furthermore, the pumpkin and Skioufichta were enjoyable. In my opinion, the pasta could have been a bit firmer and chewier, as traditional Skioufichta typically have more bite. However, this could also partially be due to preferences of the swiss locals, as they like their pasta slightly softer and soggy. Overall this restaurant serves authentic greek cuisine but definitely does not come in cheap! Maybe they just had a bad day, therefore i’d consider coming back to reassess my experience and see if anything has improved.
