As a crossroads between Europe, Asia, the Caucasus and North Africa, the Middle East has always been a hub of food and recipe exchange. During the Persian Empire the foundation was laid for modern Middle-Eastern food when rice, poultry and various fruits were incorporated into the local diets. Figs, dates and nuts were brought by merchants to conquered lands, and spices were brought back from the Orient. The Middle East were wheat was first cultivated.
The area was also influenced by dumplings from Mongol invaders; turmeric, cumin, garlic and other spices from India; cloves, peppercorns and allspice from the Spice Islands; okra from Africa; and tomatoes from the New World, via the Moors of Spain. Religion has also influenced the cuisine….

Authentic middle eastern cuisine. Exceptional decor and very very clean. The menu is huge so try to research it before you go. If you want to enjoy this food but your kids might not eat it, STILL bring them as they have cheeseburger and chicken tenders and fries available. I like the lamb shawarma wrap with curry fries (not Curley lol)

My husband and I recently received a menu in the mail for Taza and was immediately interested in going to try this place in East Lyme that we hadn’t ever heard of before! We visited for lunch today and I am very, very happy that we took the chance to go out and try the food here.

We happened to stop in while trying to find a place for a quick bite and it was delicious! I’ve never had falafel before but this place has the best lol. The pita sandwich was warm, full of flavor, and just absolutely phenomenal! The only disappointing thing was that it wasn’t full of costumers because I’ve been to more crowded places with food that doesn’t taste this good. We’ll definitely be returning!

I organized a party for 6 friends to watch Celtics game 6. So I tried Taza Grill food before I decided to go there although it was 30 minutes drive but let me tell you it was worthy. The diner was well prepared although It was a short notice, all my guest went crazy for how delicious the food was. They loved the variety of food so much. The left over was for another six or seven people. For catering Taza Grill is the place.

I have a tree nut allergy and have been reluctant to eat at Taza. I went in this weekend and explained my allergy and was assured everything is nut-free except for the baklava which is separate from all the food and in an eclipsed glass case. Food was OUTSTANDING and I was assured and re-assured again that all was safe. Second trip back in three days and we will be back again probably tomorrow!!!! Thanks you Taza-food and service is awesome!!!!

This place is AMAZING! Was in the area for a work conference and found this place on day 1; ended up going back 3 more nights. Ordered different meals each night ; dine -in, take-out, online it didn’t matter. Anyway you order and any item will probably be spectacular. Quick friendly service with good food and prices. A must try if you’re in the area!

Was visiting Niantic and didn’t expect too much but the food was really good. Customer service was up to the mark and portions and nicely sized as well. Tried lamb shawarma platter, mixed shawarma platter and cheese burger. Cheese burger was different than usual burgers. Pita filled with a large patty and good amount of cheese. Would definitely recommend anyone looking for some good Mediterranean food in Niantic.

This place is very good to visit with families and the food is great. Chicken kebab wrap and Falafel wrap were so delicious. There is also a frozen yogurt section inside with wide range of flavours and a lot of toppings to choose from. Prices are decent.
