Local tips
- Plan on ordering several different meze dishes to share rather than individual mains – it is the best way to explore the range of Lebanese flavors.
- Evening-only opening and a relatively intimate dining room mean it is wise to reserve in advance, especially on Fridays, Saturdays and local event days.
- If you are new to Lebanese food, choose one of the set or classic menus; they provide a balanced progression from lighter starters to grilled dishes and dessert.
- Vegetarians and lighter eaters will find plenty of options among salads, dips and falafel – mention any dietary needs when you order for helpful guidance.
- Allow at least 1.5 to 2 hours for a relaxed meal; meze-style dining is meant to unfold slowly with pauses between rounds of dishes.

Lebanese Flavors in the Heart of Herning
Mezza brings the aromas and generosity of Lebanese food culture to a compact corner of central Herning. From the moment you step inside, the focus is on meze – a table-spanning spread of small dishes designed to be mixed, matched and shared. It is an inviting way to eat, turning dinner into a slow, sociable ritual rather than a rushed one-plate affair. The kitchen leans into classic Middle Eastern flavors: citrus and garlic, warm spices like cumin and coriander, and plenty of fresh herbs. Whether you sit down for a light selection of nibbles or a substantial feast, the idea is the same: to taste a little of everything and build your own journey across the menu.A Menu Built Around Sharing
Mezza’s menu reads like a greatest hits of Lebanese cuisine. You will find creamy hummus drizzled with good olive oil, smoky baba ghanoush, crisp falafel, fatoush salads bright with sumac, and tabbouleh packed with parsley and lemon. From the grill, skewers of marinated meats arrive with a gentle char and juicy center, often paired with rice, flatbreads and cooling yoghurt-based dips. Set menus and meze assortments make ordering easy for groups, while vegetarians are well looked after with plentiful meat-free plates that are more than afterthoughts. Portions are designed for sharing, so a couple of dishes per person quickly turns into a colorful, abundant table – the visual hallmark of a Lebanese meal.Warm Atmosphere and Middle Eastern Touches
The dining room is intimate and warmly decorated, with deep tones, soft lighting and details that nod to the restaurant’s Middle Eastern roots. The air often carries the scent of grilled meats and spices, while low background music featuring Arabic classics adds a gentle soundtrack without overwhelming conversation. Seating is arranged to suit both date nights and small gatherings of friends or family. Tables fill with shared plates and glasses, and there is an unhurried feel that encourages you to linger over just one more dish or a final drink. It is the kind of place where the atmosphere is as important as what arrives from the kitchen.Cocktails, Wine and an Evening-Only Rhythm
Mezza opens in the evening only, giving it a distinctly dinner-focused rhythm. This suits its leisurely style of dining, where guests can stretch a meal over several courses, breaks in between and conversation that lasts well into the night. A small selection of cocktails, wines and other drinks complements the food, with options to pair with grilled meats, rich dips or lighter vegetable dishes. The moderate price level means you can assemble a satisfying spread without entering fine-dining territory, yet still expect quality ingredients prepared with evident care. It works equally well as a relaxed midweek treat or the center of a special night out in Herning.Who It Suits and How Long to Stay
Mezza is a natural fit for couples, small groups and anyone curious about Lebanese cuisine. The sharing concept works especially well for mixed parties where some prefer meat and others vegetarian food, as the table can be tailored dish by dish. Children comfortable with new flavors can also be accommodated, although the ambience feels more grown-up than family fast-casual. With its cozy interior and layered menu, most diners stay between one and two hours, often stretching the evening with coffee or dessert. For visitors exploring Herning, it doubles as both an introduction to Middle Eastern flavors and a relaxed, atmospheric spot to end the day.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
