Mediterranean restaurant Mazi opening soon in South End
New Mediterranean restaurant Mazi will open in South End on March 13.
Why it matters: It's the latest project by the Built On Hospitality group, which has had quite an eventful few months with recent openings like Folia in South End and Chief's in NoDa.
Built On Hospitality partner and executive chef Chris Coleman (of Goodyear House) partnered with Mazi's owners Troy Brewer and Hemant Patel to develop the menu, according to a press release.
What to expect: Small plates, wine and cocktails inspired by countries like Greece, Spain and Morocco, to name a few.
It'll feature "more than just the Greek, Israeli, and Lebanese food that most Americans think of, but also (fare from) Egypt, Libya, Morocco, Spain, and Italy," Coleman said in a previous statement.
Mixologist Bob Peters created the cocktail menu to "showcase Mediterranean flavors such as lavender, pomegranate and sumac," according to a press release.
If you go: Mazi will open only for dinner to start, with plans to add weekday lunch and weekend brunch in the coming weeks. Reservations are now available online.
Stop by: 1300 South Blvd., across from the rail trail near Nikko Japanese Restaurant.
Open Monday-Thursday 4-10pm, Friday-Saturday 4-11pm and Sunday 4-9pm.
