History and

Aspirations

Our main focus was to capture the unique flavours and nutritional value of Mediterranean and Jamaican food to create something simple, flavoursome with a little twist. That’s how Mario and I started exploring around ideas and ingredients in his Moms kitchen to create authentic dishes with a delicious twist. Mixing herbs and spices to create the best blend became our passion. The response from the customers was extraordinary! More than what we could have hoped for. Our passion and support from our loyal customers has allowed us to successfully grow. Our mission is to spread our love for food.

Mario – Khaled and I have always gravitated towards food, for as long as I can remember I have had a taste for good food, spending my early years in Jamaica and growing up in a Jamaican household, with my mom always providing great meals daily. My mother’s cooking created my overwhelming love for food, she provided the basics and showed me tips and tricks. Growing up in the UK, I have been able to experience food from varying cultures which has opened my eyes to new tastes and flavours. Working alongside my best friend Khaled who has previously ran a successful vegan food business, gave me the confidence and drive to start my own food business at University. Mazza Meals, first started in the kitchen of my student accommodation, it started slowly and gradually became the hot topic around the campus. The name Mazza Meals was actually given to me by my customers. The success I had at University and with people from Walsall often asking “when am I bringing the meals to Walsall?”, got us thinking why not try it. From the first day we cooked we sold out and through social media and local support we have grown from strength to strength and the food speaks for itself.
