What Happened to Taverna Mazi After Mystery Diners? (Seattle, WA)

In the Mystery Diners episode "Paranormal Activities" (aired 2014-03-10), Taverna Mazi's owner told series investigator Charles Stiles about disruptive behavior among staff at the Seattle Greek restaurant, according to Wikipedia's episode summary for the series. Undercover Mystery Diners investigators then worked the floor and found staff members playing pranks on customers, including locking diners in the building's attic, according to the same summary. As Wikipedia's article on the series notes, citing its sources, Mystery Diners' end-credits disclaimer allows that events may be re-enacted for dramatic effect, and the show has drawn criticism from television critics over how staged its confrontations are.

As is typical for the series, Stiles presented the findings to the owner, and two employees involved in the pranks were let go. The episode aired the same season as several other Seattle restaurants the series profiled. According to Wikipedia's episode summary for the series, the restaurant closed at some point after the episode aired. Google Places' listing for Taverna Mazi, checked 2026-09-08, gives its address as 3426 NE 55th St in Seattle and marks the business as permanently closed, consistent with that account. No current website or reopening was located for the address. No secondary listing, news account, or social media presence for the restaurant was found beyond Google's listing and the series' own episode summary.
