A Lebanese restaurant serving fresh and high quality dishes. Our hidden oasis is situated on a large outdoor garden patio in downtown Santa Barbara. Established in 2005, we are proud to have hosted many special memories.

Our Dishes

We make every effort to source high quality ingredients from different vendors including our local farmers market. The main focus is to include healthy ingredients, such as olive oil, lemon, garlic, cumin, paprika, thyme, oregano, sumac, coriander, fennel, pistachio, sesame seeds and more. Prepared daily using fresh ingredients, our free range Jidori chicken is hormone free, antibiotic free, fresh and not frozen, our salmon is wild caught, our lamb is halal from Australia, our homemade pita bread contains wheat & flour, our dressing and marinations do not include any added sugar, and our garlic is sourced from Gilroy, California.

Introducing Mezza Thyme

Our new sister location has quietly opened up August 2018. Located at 20 East Cota street, at the former Blue Agave site. It has been created to offer a casual bar/lounge experience. The location is primarily indoors with a bar atmosphere on the main floor, an intimate lounge upstairs and a small balcony.

A full bar with premium spirits, local draft beers and fresh handmade cocktails. There is a seasonal menu that contains our popular mezza and will also feature our newest Levantine inspired plates. Guests can experience fresh and hot pita bread served straight from the oven. From the bar, guests can view the shawarma being shaved directly off our vertical grill. This is our test kitchen and we are happy to share the experience.

Mezza Thyme welcomes anyone looking for a drink or a casual meal. There are no reservations. Guests are welcome to seat themselves wherever they like. Ordering is at the bar or with a cocktail server. Currently open evenings Wednesday- Saturday. www.mezzathyme.com
