Best Maza (Höfe am Brühl) in Leipzig

I've been a regular customer at this restaurant for several years and always enjoyed the falafel – they were always warm, fresh, and delicious. Unfortunately, my last visit was very disappointing. The falafel were far too greasy, as if they had been fried several times. In addition, the bread was cold, hard, and stiff, rather than soft and fresh. The quality has declined significantly compared to before. FYI: We have informed the employees already working there, but it seems they have no interest in or understanding of my feedback. Unfortunately, it's now time to say goodbye.

It's a bit cramped, but it moves along pretty quickly. The food was delicious. Personally, I found the chili falafel extremely bland, with hardly any chili, and the baked shish kebab was good. Plenty, but also reasonably priced. The ayran in the cup isn't great. It tastes okay, but I expected more variety.

The restaurant offers excellent value for money. The food tastes exquisite, the service is attentive, and the portion sizes are remarkable for the price. Only the exterior design of the shopping center could potentially diminish the overall experience.

I heard unnecessary comments about the guests from the service. Unfriendly service!

Very tasty food, finely seasoned and flavorful. The staff was very accommodating and friendly.

Best Maza has a lot to offer: very friendly staff at the counter and at the table, a diverse selection, and good value for money. Today we tried the Kufta (#18) and Motabaka (#20): very tasty, exceptionally prepared, and also excellent in terms of quantity. Therefore: we would definitely go back.

The food was great and there was nothing to complain about. We received a friendly welcome and were served quickly. BUT: The restaurant closes at 8:00 PM because it's located in a shopping center. It wasn't even 8:00 PM yet, and the chairs were already being put up, after which the remaining guests were checked out. I understand if they close at 8:00 PM and start cleaning up, but it was almost like being thrown out, and we didn't feel comfortable at all. One reason not to come back. 🙁 At the neighboring restaurant, guests were allowed to eat in peace, and no employees even started cleaning up.

First, I'd like to thank the staff. So friendly, attentive, personable, and very customer-friendly. The ambiance was like a dream from 1001 Nights 😍 beautifully decorated. The food was so delicious. This pretty little shop is definitely going on my favorites list for Leipzig 👍 The next time I vacation here, you'll definitely be included. As a souvenir, here's a funny little photo. My colleague still made it into the photo 😘 Thank you ❤️

Delicious food for reasonable prices:) highly recommended.

Very good, freshly prepared food Excellent value for money Very friendly staff Very fast service Very tasty food

The star is purely for the looks. We were there yesterday. I thought you couldn't go wrong with cordon bleu. Yes, you could. The cheese sauce was mush with no cheese flavor. The coleslaw was also mixed with an indefinable substance. The meat had a strong taste of some spice I haven't figured out yet. And it was way too salty. Only the fries were good. A woman two tables away didn't eat hers either. My meal, by the way, came before the drinks. My husband's came much later. When I asked for the drinks, they finally arrived. My husband didn't have any complaints about his meal. But the salt was still on his lips two hours later 🤨

Not only was the food delicious, but the price-performance ratio was also absolutely perfect. The staff were extremely friendly, and the cleanliness was impeccable. The restaurant is located in the mall, on the lower level (level -1), and is very convenient to reach. A big thank you to the owners for this great experience. I will definitely be back!

The staff are very attentive and super friendly. The food is excellent and the portions are generous. It has a lovely atmosphere if you want to eat in.

I decided to spend my lunch break at Best Mazza today, and given the hefty price tag of €18.50 for a grilled plate with two meat skewers, I had high expectations. Everything was perfect until I placed my order. But then the time passed without me enjoying a meal. After about 30 minutes, I finally pulled the ripcord and told an employee that my lunch break was over. I asked them to pack my food, which took another 10 minutes. Bottom line: I took the cold food home and heated it up in the microwave. Sorry, but that was my first and last visit to this place.

Sensational food. We were here for lunch and it was delicious. We ordered a variety of dishes, and they were all very, very good. The portions are very large, so the price/performance ratio is absolutely right. The service was friendly and the ambiance was also nice. I can only recommend eating here.

I've especially loved Best Maza since the renovations... more space, more ambiance, and above all, the seating is so much more comfortable, despite its location in a shopping center. It's really well done. The food is excellent, the portions are really generous – a little tip: feel free to have anything you don't eat packed up! The staff are very friendly. The prices are really good. The selection is excellent. I wholeheartedly recommend Best Maza.

Overall, very tasty and really good falafel.

Everything is beautiful here, the design of the premises and the work of the staff, especially FATIMA. SHE WAS VERY smiling and ready to answer all questions. Thanks to her for the reception. As for the food, everything was great except (kofta) minced meat on the grill, it was gray. For the minced meat, you could put 3, well, alas, the staff deserved 10

I had BestMaza cater my wedding (German/Syrian). After we had a rehearsal dinner with them, everything went wonderfully. They provided wonderful support and service! All the guests were very satisfied. I can only recommend them!

The food is very tasty and the service is very good!

Good restaurant in the mall. Delicious food. Well-served. Friendly staff.

First time there since the expansion. They created a fantastic atmosphere. The first visit was excellent. The service was friendly.

Very tasty food, very tasty drinks and the service top

Absolutely delicious and large portions.

Shish Tawook skewer with hummus, garlic sauce, and fries as a side dish to take away: Reading through the reviews, I'm led to believe that I only received one skewer instead of the two chicken skewers listed on the menu. My package contained only 6-8 pieces of meat... Judging by the other pictures, the amount would have been just over one skewer... What a shame! The food itself is very tasty, and the presentation is attractively packaged. The restaurant was very clean and well-designed, the staff was very friendly, and you can pay by card.

Accurately named, incredible food for a reasonable price!

We ate there once and enjoyed it so much that we went back the very next day. The food was very good!

Everything is delicious, I love this place.

Best Maza? Best Maza! In the food court of the Höfe am Brühl, between fashion chains, neon lights, and the monotony of food chains, there's this one place that simply does everything right: Best Maza. There are no sloppy compromises here, just the freshest ingredients, richly seasoned falafel, creamy hummus, and avocado that doesn't taste like it's from a refrigerator. I've been there a few times now, and they've expanded considerably. Quality? Consistently strong. Portions? Fair and filling. Value for money? Absolutely solid. My personal highlight: the falafel and avocado plate. Always a hit. Conclusion: If you want to eat really well, quickly, and yet with soul in the city -> head to Best Maza. No frills, no fast-food blah. Simply honest, damn delicious food with character. And extra hummus. Always extra hummus.

If I could give 10 stars, I would. I love oriental cuisine, and my daughter surprised me with this wonderful restaurant. I felt like I was on vacation... in my favorite countries. The food was indescribable; I've never eaten anything like it before, even though I eat oriental food quite often. The service was incredibly friendly, and the ambiance was simply gorgeous. Thank you for this unforgettable afternoon. I'll definitely be back... when I'm back in Leipzig.

Modern fast-food restaurant. Friendly, attentive staff. Delicious food.

Super delicious food, great ambience and friendly staff.

Delicious food and top-notch service! Always a pleasure :)

Very tasty food, very nice service and great customer orientation, absolutely recommendable

A very beautiful Middle Eastern restaurant with excellent quality food. We had two Adana kebab sandwiches (one was the supreme) served in baguettes—and we absolutely loved them! You don’t often find this kind of combination, and it felt really special. We loved everything, and the prices were very reasonable too. Definitely coming back again soon!

Unfortunately, I can't comment on the food, because 45 minutes after ordering two simple bowls with a server, we didn't get anything to eat and had to leave the restaurant hungry. Several servers milled around during that time, and no one asked why we were sitting at an empty table. Even after asking at the cashier, we didn't get anything for another 10 minutes.

The renovation was very successful. A cozy atmosphere with plenty of comfortable seating. You can order digitally on the board right at the entrance. The staff is super friendly and attentive. The food is still fantastic. Plentiful and incredibly delicious. 🥰

The food was very tasty and the restaurant was clean and cozy🥰

We stopped here for a spontaneous lunch and had one halloumi plate and one falafel plate. Both tasted fantastic, with fresh ingredients and delicious bread. We've rarely had such good falafel and halloumi. We were particularly impressed by the friendly service and the value for money. Top-notch!

SO GOOD, DELICIOUS HUMMUS AND BEST FALAFEL SANDWICH IN LEIPZIG!!! LOVE THE PITA CHIPS🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷

Great 👍 Would definitely come again 😊

I went to Best Maza in Leipzig and had a grilled platter with rice, hummus, and bread. Everything was delicious, freshly made, and well-seasoned. The meat was juicy, and the hummus was delicious with a pomegranate on top – I love it! So many people say the portions are large and the price is reasonable. For me, the food was a bit small for the price. I expected more, because the plate looks big but there isn't much in it. Nevertheless, the taste was excellent and the service was friendly. The place is clean and beautifully decorated. I might come back for other dishes.

Great food, very tasty! Service could be improved. Overall, the price-performance ratio was OK.

Very tasty bowls, excellent taste, delicious seasoning, great service. We'll be back!

Everything is super delicious, no matter what you order.

I ate at the best Maza Restaurant in Leipzig and was unfortunately very disappointed. I ordered a plate of foul and a plate of falafel. Both were disappointing in taste and didn't reflect the Syrian style I'm used to. The foul was carelessly prepared and seemed unprofessional, as was the falafel. Furthermore, the price was completely overpriced compared to the quality of the food; what was served was definitely not worth the high price. The only positive thing I noticed was the friendly staff; the waitresses were really nice and attentive. Unfortunately, that alone isn't enough to create a good dining experience.

I come often and am always very satisfied – great service and great quality! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Super tasty and very nice service

Best bowl I've ever eaten and huge portions

Very attentive hosts who take great care of their guests. The food is just as good and perfectly balanced in taste as the business concept dictated! Bravo!

After a very long day walking around we were lucky enough to have dinner at Best Maza. The food was excellent. The service too

Really good food and portions, beautiful personal 💕

Very good food, friendly service and a quiet atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Was tasty and decent portions. Went pretty quickly

By far the best option for quickly picking up something in the city center. Ahmad served me well!

The staff is very friendly and the food tastes very good.

Very tasty food, very good price-performance ratio.

It was all very tasty. Very good service.

Best Flafel in Leipzig! Thanks to Ahmed for the nice service.

Super friendly service. Super delicious food. Great price-performance ratio. Unconditionally recommended! Definitely try it!

..the best Arabic food and the best and kindest service

It is one of the best restaurants in Leipzig and it takes first place without a doubt, and the expansion of the place is very excellent, and most importantly, the mall has its location

Friendly, attentive service. Service at the table. Very tasty and large portions.

Very nice service and incredibly good food!

Very friendly staff, good prices, food very tasty. The portions of the main dishes bowl and grill plate were very large.

Best food, fast service, great restaurant. I would just come here every day.

Very tasty food, prices are OK. Unfortunately, the chairs at the dining tables are placed quite tightly there, so if you want to sit down there you always have to move at least two chairs. Some of the tables were also crumbly. It could be cleaned a little better. However, you can't complain about the food.

I was there for lunch, there were huge portions that tasted extremely delicious. The waiters were super friendly and the place is nicely decorated.

I was there for the first time yesterday with my daughter and the food was really delicious. We'll definitely be back 👏

Very tasty and very large portions. I ordered the mix avocado bowl (with falafel and haloumi) and my friend ordered a falafel plate. The food came quickly and was really tasty!

Wonderful Restaurant, excellent services

Our Supreme arrived too dark. The crust was pretty hard. And there wasn't even an apology for the hair found in the food and we had to pay the full price. There has been an incident like this before...

Ambiance nice and clean. Excellent food and nice staff. Price performance is definitely very good because the portion is large and you can tell that everything is fresh and high quality.

An excellent restaurant! This restaurant is really professional in the preparation of the food - everything tastes great and is freshly prepared. You can immediately tell that great value is placed on quality here. Even the small details are taken into account with a lot of love, which makes the stay particularly pleasant. The place itself is beautifully decorated and very cozy - you immediately feel welcome. The atmosphere is relaxed and invites you to linger. I would particularly like to highlight the friendly and helpful staff - always with a smile and ready to fulfill guests' every wish. A real culinary experience – absolutely recommended!

Very personable and super tasty

Good food and friendly staff. No long wait times.

The selection of dishes is large. The portions are very large and of good quality. The employees are very friendly.

The food was excellent, the service was very polite, the prices were moderate. A great restaurant with a cozy atmosphere

I like the, They are very nice to customers and helpful and friendly

I swear it's something delicious, may God bless them. They make an amazing Ramadan buffet, the food is very good, and the cleanliness and treatment are nothing short of amazing.

“Best Maza” does what the name promises. It really is the best Maza place in the city. Everything is fresh, delicious and prepared with love. The ambience is surprisingly nice for a mall restaurant and the staff is very friendly. It's worth stopping by. Top!

was absolutely impressed with my visit to Beat maza . The atmosphere is cozy and authentic, and the staff is incredibly friendly and attentive. The food is simply amazing

The motabaka in the clay pot consisted of potato wedges and tomato sauce, which was a little disappointing. It's not clear on the menu that these are potato wedges instead of fresh potatoes, otherwise I wouldn't have ordered the dish. Therefore, I find the price-performance ratio for this dish unreasonable. The starters were good and the service was very friendly and accommodating.

Very oriental restaurant in the Brühl shopping center!

The service was quick and unobtrusive. The food delicious. Good Mediterranean cuisine.

The best Arabic restaurant in Leipzig! We went to the Ramadan open buffet. There was a large selection of dishes, all of which tasted very good. Definitely recommended.

I got the halloumi bowl and it is just so delicious. I can only recommend it 👍

We had dinner there in the courtyards today. I found the mixed plate for almost twelve euros with three blobs of hummus, BabaGanoush, 3 halloumi and falafel very disappointing. The salad is very unimaginative and the taste overall is very monotonous. It somehow lacks the freshness and balance of flavors. A bit of tabbouleh, for example, would be good on the plate, instead of the usual iceberg and tomato mix. Everything is there on display. But it doesn't really end up on the plate. The prices are calculated very generously. I wouldn't come back again. Unfortunately it wasn't convincing.

Very delicious, friendly team, friendly environment Highly recommended English: Super tasty, friendly team, friendly atmosphere Highly recommended

I was very surprised at the very good tasting food. Didn't expect it to be so good. If you order from the machine, don't forget to tip for the good service at the table.

All in all, a nice place for a light meal

I've loved this store for a long time. The food is always plentiful, at a really fair price and as a vegan I get a lot of choice here. I enjoy coming here often. Now that the business has been expanded, you can sit down to eat even more comfortably and there are now service employees.

Very tasty food. I can only recommend the Kufta.

Went there by chance and didn't regret it. The best falafel I've eaten. Very well eaten and spent time. Nice service. The only drawback is that the shop is only available in Leipzig and Dubai.

Simply great! From the operation including explanation and selection to the price. Full per person for 10€! Go and try the freshly prepared dishes, sandwiches or sauces and pickles. We were very satisfied and will definitely come back

Unfortunately it didn't taste good at all, and it's still being ripped off.

This was my second time there. The staff are very friendly, attentive and helpful. The food and ingredients are fresh and it tastes very good. My recommendation, hummus with beetroot. 😎

clean and tidy, Ingredients were fresh and the food was delicious, staff very friendly However, slightly overwhelmed with minimal changes - i.e. something went wrong twice with our order (4 people).

Restaurant is nicely done and cozy, delicious food and beautifully presented and friendly staff Highly recommended

Super tasty, falafel are freshly made after ordering, great service and a more than welcome alternative to the usual uniformity 😎
