Greek Cuisine
Greek food is a fine melody of the finest pressed olive oil, fresh fermented bread, colorful vegetables, juicy meat, sea food all cooked in spices and fresh rosemary. The people from Greek were great scholars who aimed to excel in everything they do. The results are quite visible in their food as they are the inventors of olive oil which is beneficial to health. Greeks also made different type of wines from the best quality of grapes fermented in controlled environment.
Today, you can find hundreds of restaurants offering authentic Greek food or popularly termed as Mediterranean cuisine in New York city alone. People wait in line to taste the exotic Greek dishes like saganaki, taramasalata, souvlaki, loukoumades, spanakopita, moussaka, and many more. One thing which most people like about these authentic Greek dishes is abundant use of lemon juice, olive oil, fresh rosemary and sea salt. A smart mix of few ingredients can virtually take you on the pebble streets of beautiful city of Greece.
For those who don't have time to enjoy fine dining should try tasting the famous souvlaki with pita which is type of meat dish, also a trademark Greek fast food. For those who are vegetarian, or vegan can try different versions of Greek Salad. So, if you wish to enjoy a hearty yet healthy meal that tastes divine then try dining at the best Greek restaurant in your city. Greek cuisine not only tastes good but also help maintain your body in a natural way through healthy diet.

Sticking a piano in your restaurant doesn't automatically make your establishment classy, and sticking the word "Rockefeller" after your oyster appetizer doesn't make your establishment exclusive or posh. Mazen's is trying to be something that it's not. This restaurant reminds me of a backwards country girl who thinks that big city life is all about wearing designer clothing and being mean and snotty to people because that's what she sees in the movies and she's...never actually been to a big city. Leave it to Mazen's to bring me out of a 2+ year Yelp hiatus. On the planet Mazen, hostesses do not greet you when you walk through the door. They stare at you blankly and do not smile. The only reason why you get seated is because another employee recognizes you as a friend of a friend. You feel grateful for this, otherwise you'd still be feeling like you just walked into a funeral parlor (and yes, even the decor tacitly proclaims this). When you get seated, you are ignored for at least 20 minutes. No one asks you if you need anything to drink. Finally, a waiter who resembles Judd Nelson and seems just as cool and nonchalant as his Breakfast Club character says he'll take care of you since he feels bad you've just been sitting there. You feel grateful that you're being attended to...at a restaurant. Where you are supposed to be attended to. And waited on. ...not kept waiting. At real five-star restaurants, the dining experience is timed so that the customer is never kept waiting. Someone brings your appetizers at just the right moment. Someone brings your entrees at just the right moment. Someone scrapes crumbs off your table. Someone refolds your dining napkin when you've left your seat to go to the bathroom. Everything should be smooth, and patrons shouldn't be left wondering if they've been forgotten about (I didn't even order dessert because I had already been at Mazen's for more than two hours and I just wanted to be able to go home). No amount of crawfish bisque will ever be able to take away the terrible taste Mazen's left in my mouth. This was not our waiter's fault at all. It's just clear that Mazen's is masquerading as a five-star restaurant. I don't expect a five-star experience from Raising Cane's, just as I wouldn't expect a five-star experience from a Holiday Inn...but I do expect a five-star experience from a restaurant that touts itself as the veritable Waldorf Astoria of seafood restaurants in Lake Charles. Mazen's = a Motel 6.

Excellent service and dinner. First time here for our 28th Anniversary and was very pleased. Would definitely go back

Went to dinner with a group of 5. We all ordered fish. I chose the Fish Della. The fish was pan fried and covered with a red pepper sauce and lump crabmeat. The sauce was very tasty, with a nice bite from the red pepper. The meal included cubed potatoes and sautéed vegetables. Everyone in our party really enjoyed their meals!

I had high expectations for this restaurant. My husband and ordered the crawfish bisque and it was very good! Thank goodness my soup was good because my entree was not edible! I ordered the weiner schnitzel and it was so greasy and just tasted bad! My food was nauseating! My husband ordered a fish plate topped with a crabcake...the fish wasn't very good. The crabcake was tasty. Thank goodness my server was awesome! He noticed that I didnt eat any of my entree and took it off of our bill. Very dissapointed in this place!

The best restaurant in lake Charles. Fantastic crabcakes, great steaks, grape leaves, fish, everything. Ask for the strawberry fiete dessert. Not on the menu but divine. Great soufflés too, especially the half grand marnier half chocolate. Usually go for lunch. Only downside is not cheap and usually slow and sometimes spotty wait service. Only go when you are not in a rush.

Went for lunch. The Fish Aladdin was very good. The portion size and sides were disappointing. For 18.95, I would expect the whole filet, not half. The sides were 5 squares of fried potatoes and green beans with huge chunky onions and garlic. I love garlic but wow it was overpowering. My husband ordered the steak, it comes covered in sauce, so if you are a steak lover ask for it on the side!

I had pretty high hopes for Mazen, which came highly recommended. Unfortunately, my experience didn't live up to my expectations. The service wasn't very good, and even bordered on terrible. My server was doing his best, and was excellent, but he was clearly overworked. When I first arrived the host was no where to be seen. As I waited, two other parties arrived. For some reason we were all assigned to the same server. Having once worked as a server I know it is difficult to be triple sat. All of the servers seemed to be zipping around on the floor - they just looked over worked. So, in my mind, my poor service wasn't the server's fault - it is the management's fault for not having enough servers on the floor. The crawfish bisque was excellent - and if the entree has been ever half as good as the soup - I would have awarded Mazen at least three stars. For my entree, I ordered the twin filets with lump crabmeat served in some sort of sauce. The steak was cooked right, but the sauce killed it. The sauce was essentially an extremely over-salted gravy. It just murdered any flavor I should have experienced from the steak and the crabmeat.

I had high hopes for this place as well...are you seeing a theme here for my reviews in the SWLA area? The seafood seemed ok, the sauce makes it tastey. I ordered the falafel both times, the first time it was cooked perfect and just the right amount of flavor, the second time the garlic was so overpowering I couldn't even eat it and it was burnt. I had a spinach salad the second time and it was good, I wish they had a better salad dressing selection. I am sure we will go back as it has been the only place with decent fresh fish that is ok priced, when visitors from corporate come into town we go here. The best fresh seafood is still la truffe in this area.

Excellent service for dinner; great food. I had the duck with excellent raspberry sauce. Not accustomed to having so much silverware, then having the waiter nab most of as I was eating (I am a slow eater). Great unsweetened tea.
(5)Brendon D.
We had Triple Tail here. INSANELY delicious. The BEST fish plates we have ever eaten anywhere. Anywhere. We had the munier and the lemon butter versions. The gulf tuna seared rare was beautiful and fantastic. This place has expensive prices, but it is WELL worth the money. Wow. Service was classy and great. Don't half step. Order Triple Tail when you go there.

Terrible experience. We were with a group of 10. Food took over 3 hours and wasnt that great...gumbo so salty, crab cakes blah, and steak ok. Our tickets were split incorrectly and we were charged for items we did not order. We had to beg for 20 minutes to speak to the manager. Finally someone came out, find out later he was the owner. He lied to my face about helping us. He acted like he was going to walk to our table but instead went in his office and shut the door. Absolutely jerk! I would say every person in our group would have wished to have spend their $75 in the casino instead. I would never return or recommend to anyone. Worst experience possible.

This is the place to eat in Lake Charles - reasonably priced steaks and seafood - with a little Mediterranean/California flair. I eat here every time I go back to Lake Charles and have had great meals every time. The service recently was really stellar as well (I was there just last week).
(4)Joshua F.
The food was ok .. i expect more from "fine dining" places.. soufflee was good but more like a brownie... fish was predictable and kinda boring.. my buddy said they have good steaks.. ill check that out if i ever go back

My Husband and I went there 2 weeks ago for our 20th wedding anniversary, they knew it was our anniversary, our reservation was for 7pm. When we arrived they seated us at what looked like a card table in the BAR, my chair wobbled. My husband went to the hostess and told her it was unacceptable, it was noisy and this was our 20th anniversary. They reluctantly moved us to the main dinning room where we were ignored for 20 minutes. Once we ordered, service was better but still slow and methodical. The food was excellent, but my lamb, which had been served sliced into lamb chops and beautifully presented the last time, came in one piece and just sitting in the middle of the plate with sauce over it. Not very appealing. So I had to slice each "lollypop" or "chop" off myself, made a bit of a mess and had to get my fingers into it. not exactly how you want a meal to show up when it costs $30. The potatoes for the 2nd time were insanely salty, didn't eat them. My husband's fish was excellent, he had no complaints. Not sure that I will go there again.

The lunch menu does not offer much in my opinion but when dinner rolls around the menu is fabulous. A bit pricy but a great romantic place to take your better half for a memorable night out. The Pan seared duck with the raspberry reduction is off the hook and dont forget to save room for the Chocolate Soufflé
(5)Becky L.
Mazen's is one of the best if not The Best restaurant I have ever been to! I have been to Lots of Restaurants! Mazen is very particular about who waits on his customers, and it is Slim Pickins for competent help in Lake Charles. The food makes it worth it, Try the Fish Aladdin, pan seared, with Saffron Lemon butter sauce. No matter how many times I go, I have to get this dish, as it is so wonderful. AWESOME FOOD, and the staff is always very professional. Go there, it is worth it.
(5)Jeff L.
In my opinion this place, when it is on (which is most of the time) serves some of the Best Food in Louisiana. Mazen, the owner and head chef, uses some incredibly fresh ingredients such as lump crab meat, rack of lamb, oysters, tenderloins, fish, etc to make some rock solid food. The atmosphere leave a little to be desired, but he is working on it. The staff knows their stuff. Seating in the bar is preferred if you want just a little more life and scene- and it is more casual (jeans, etc.)
(4)Jen L.
Mazen's is a staple for great food and superior service. The wine selection has a bit to be desired. However, do not miss the soufflés!! Don't feel you need to get all dressed up to go, the bar offers a spacious dining area with a more casual setting. Enjoy!
(4)Leghorn M.
Very good value with excellent service. This place was a great value. I'll definitely be back.
(4)Shawn L.
Had the red snapper with a jalapeño sauce and it was really good. The fish was cooked great and topped with a few shrimp and a great sauce. Service could have been a little friendlier for sure but overall it was a good meal and good experience. I am in medical sales and I would bring customers here for sure.
(4)BC S.
They need a full time hostess! Came in not greeted (along with 3 others). Asked for manager but told not one on site but she was morning manager and assured this is not normal. Saw hostess carrying table cloths, silverware, glasses, to go orders. Others came in and were not greeted. One couple with reservations was lead to their table only to fine it was not ready and had to return to wait. Food good. Hostess / greeter / manager issue. The piano player was the most helpful person in the lobby.
