Chadra Mezza & Grill is a lifelong labor of love for owner and chef, Nehme Elbitar, and his wife Christina. Named in honor of his hometown, Chadra, Lebanon, it offers an exceptional sampling of Mediterranean cuisine, in addition to delicious pastas and pizzas. Chadra Mezza offers two outdoor patios, private event space and full-service catering. Having received numerous awards granted by various entities and publications, Chadra Mezza represents a dining mainstay in the Near Southside. This is hardly surprising. After all, community is, according to the Elbitars, “their main ingredient.”
