Iris Mezze

IRIS Mezze makes weekday lunch at The Lineup a matter of choosing your pita, protein and spreads. Minted pea falafel, chicken marinated in saffron yogurt, lamb with chermoula and za’atar shrimp can go into sourdough pita or over grains. A Greek chopped salad offers another starting point. Hummus, tzatziki and red pepper feta give you plenty of ways to finish the order.

This is one of chef John Fraser’s counters inside Winthrop Center, with shared seating for the food hall. It works particularly well when everyone at lunch wants something different. Add dolmas or pistachio and almond baklava if a bowl alone won’t do. IRIS serves lunch on weekdays, closing at 3 p.m.
