Mera Kitchen Collective

My fiancée and I were looking for a nice restaurant to end our date night and had the pleasure of eating here. I didn't know what to expect, and yet my expectations were utterly shattered by our mean! We started with the fried cauliflower which already came out the gate swinging with its seasoning (a step which shockingly too many restaurants fall short) and a pleasant savory and tangy dipping sauce. My entrée was the Kofte burger which was, and I don't say this lightly, a near perfect sandwich. Rarely do ingredients and flavors flow so elegantly than the food that was served to me tonight. Tender, juicy and filled with Mediterranean flavors! The bun was soft and pillowy without being fragile or soggy, the goat cheese was creamy and tangy, perfectly complimented by the sweetness of the sum

Bright airy eatery in the Mt. Vernon area with multi-level seating, free WiFi, and a fusion menu of Latin and Mediterranean food. Had the hummus with lamb chorizo and the chicken kabob plate. My friend had the lentil soup and said it was delicious. Our food came out fast and our server was attentive. I’d definitely go back to use the cozy work space on the balcony level.

Fusion of Mediterranean food with other cuisines, great place to grab a casual lunch, serves cocktails, different teas. Desserts deserves a special mention, they are delicious with essence of cardamom, rose and nuts.

Mera was the perfect cozy spot for brunch on a cold winter morning. The service was friendly and attentive. The food was beautiful and full of delicious flavors. I definitely would love to return to try their dinner offerings.

We loved everything about this restaurant. We stopped in for dinner before a show, and the servers immediately greeted us and got us to our table. We each had a cocktail (my husband had something with gin & I had the date old-fashioned). We had the crispy cauliflower as a starter, which tasted AMAZING. We also got the chicken kebab and Kafta burger, both of which were very flavorful. We each got a baklava for the ride home. Everyone in this restaurant is super friendly and happy. The ambiance is comforting & cozy with its plants and little lights in the windows. Wealso "paid it forward" by making a meal donation, which we added to our check. This is a lovely restaurant, and I love the feeling of community that they inspire. We will be back!
