Coming soon to Kyiv and Lviv · Wednesdays at 19:00
Dinner with people you haven’t met yet
A small group — 4 to 8 people — at one restaurant table. We match it to your answers and reveal the restaurant a day before.

How it works
From the quiz to new friends — four steps.
-
Take the quiz
Eight short questions about your personality, interests and topics you’d rather avoid. About 2 minutes. Only we see your answers.
-
Pick a Wednesday and a district
Book one of the next Wednesdays in your city. Pay the dinner fee with Apple Pay on iPhone or Google Pay on Android.
-
Get the restaurant a day before
On Tuesday at 19:00 we show the restaurant, address and table number — and who’ll be there: names, fields of work, where people are from. The group chat opens.
-
Have dinner, make friends
Wednesday, 19:00. At the door, say you’re here for the Mezalo dinner. Afterwards, rate the group: if you both gave each other 4–5 stars, we open a private chat.
Why Mezalo
Conversations, not swipes
This isn’t a dating app. First a real conversation at the table; a private chat opens only if the interest is mutual.
Your circle in a new city
New in town, or want to step outside your usual circle? The table brings together people from different fields — and sometimes countries.
Safe and private
Meeting strangers should feel easy. Here’s how we take care of it.
No anonymous accounts
Sign-in with Apple or Google only. We check profiles when they’re reported and block fake ones.
You meet at the restaurant
The first meeting is always at the restaurant we picked for your table, with other people around.
Private stays private
We never show your age, date of birth, gender or answers. Others see only your name, photo, field of work and country.
Report and block
In every guest’s menu. We review reports within 24 hours, urgent ones first. People you block never end up at your table.
Community rules
Respect, personal boundaries and zero tolerance for violations. Mezalo is for people 18 and over.
Read the rulesIf there’s an air-raid alert
Head to the nearest shelter. If the dinner can’t go ahead, we’ll post in the group chat and you choose: move the booking or get the fee back.

Common questions
Didn’t find an answer? Write to us — we reply within 24 hours.
How many people will be at the table?
From 4 to 8. We don’t promise an exact number or mix: tables are made from the people booked for that Wednesday and district, and we aim for a balanced group.
Who pays for the food?
Everyone pays for themselves at the restaurant, for what they order and at the restaurant’s prices. The Mezalo fee pays for organising the dinner.
Is this a dating app?
No. Mezalo is about new friends and good conversation in a small group. A private chat opens only when the interest is mutual.
How do I cancel, and when do I get my money back?
Until Tuesday 19:00, when we reveal the restaurant, cancelling is free: we refund the fee to your card, usually within 3–5 business days. After that the fee isn’t refunded unless we cancel the dinner. A subscription booking is cancelled without any charge.
What if I’m running late or can’t come?
On the day of the dinner the app has a “Running late” button — we’ll let the group know in the chat. If you can’t come, tap “I can’t make it”. After Tuesday 19:00 the fee is no longer refunded.
What if the group doesn’t come together?
You’ll find out on Tuesday at 19:00 — when the others see their restaurant. You can join a table in another district the same evening, move the booking to next Wednesday for free, or get the fee back. If you don’t choose, we refund the fee automatically.
What language is spoken at the table?
You choose the conversation language in your preferences — Ukrainian, English or both. We seat people who share a language.
I don’t drink alcohol — is that OK?
Of course. Say so in your preferences and we’ll take it into account when matching the group. At the restaurant everyone orders what they like.
Can I come with a friend?
Yes. Send an invite link from the app — it’s for people who aren’t on Mezalo yet. Whoever books through it for the same dinner and district sits at your table; the rest of the group are new people.
What if there’s an air-raid alert?
Head to the nearest shelter. If the dinner can’t go ahead, we’ll post in the group chat and you choose: move the booking to next Wednesday or get the fee back.
Who can join?
Anyone 18 or over. You need an iPhone or an Android phone, an Apple or Google account to sign in, and a card in Apple Pay or Google Pay — there’s no other way to pay.
When do you launch?
We’re preparing to launch in Kyiv and Lviv. We’ll announce the first dinner date on Instagram @mezalo.app — follow us so you don’t miss it.
