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.
