Mazi Im Morgarten

Unclaimed

During a recent visit to Zurich, I had the pleasure of dining at MAZI im Morgarten, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of my trip. From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the warm and inviting atmosphere. The staff was genuinely friendly and attentive, making me feel welcome right away. The food, though, is what truly stole the show. Every dish was a perfect balance of flavors, prepared with obvious care and high-quality ingredients. The creativity in the menu was impressive, and I appreciated the thoughtful touches in both presentation and taste. I have to give special mention to the lahanodolmades, which were tender and flavorful, the galaktoboureko, which was perfectly creamy with just the right amount of sweetness, and the giaourtlou kebab, a hearty and satisfying dish that was bursting with authentic flavors. Each bite was a testament to the passion and skill of the kitchen team. MAZI im Morgarten is a place where you can sense the love behind every detail, from the decor to the service to the food itself. If you’re in Zurich and looking for a restaurant that delivers an exceptional dining experience, I can’t recommend it highly enough. I’ll definitely be returning on my next visit to the city!

This restaurant has a great atmosphere and service but unfortunately the food did not fully live up to our expectations - especially for the hefty price. Starting off with the Haloumi fries that were a major letdown, as they lacked the desired crispy texture. Instead they were soft and didn’t have the crunch you’d expect (possibly it could have also been a bad batch). The biggest disappointment however was the Gyros. Though we really liked the meat & sauces that accompanied the dish, our main concern was the bread. Four little triangles of pita bread (see pictures) is not enough for two people and definitely not what you can expect for 36 Francs! We had to order a second batch which we got charged extra for - something we felt unnecessary given the already steep price. On a positive note, the ambiance felt inviting and we enjoyed the cozy and warm interior. Staff was very friendly from the get go and tried their best, though there was a minor hick-up in forgetting our bread but things like those can happen. Furthermore, the pumpkin and Skioufichta were enjoyable. In my opinion, the pasta could have been a bit firmer and chewier, as traditional Skioufichta typically have more bite. However, this could also partially be due to preferences of the swiss locals, as they like their pasta slightly softer and soggy. Overall this restaurant serves authentic greek cuisine but definitely does not come in cheap! Maybe they just had a bad day, therefore i’d consider coming back to reassess my experience and see if anything has improved.

I had the most amazing experience at Mazi, I came from South Africa to spend the weekend with my parents over Easter Weekend and they hosted us in the most magnificent manner. I felt as if I was back in Greece, the waiters, the chefs the atmosphere… what more can I say other than I felt as if I was in Greece. The food was phenomenal, the staff were welcoming and kind and the food was beyond delicious. I cannot recommend this enough. If you want authentic Greek in Zurich this is the place to come.

Went there for friends’ birthday dinner. Super nice atmosphere, friendly & quick service and probably one of the best grilled octopus I have eaten so far. Loved it all, will visit again & again!
