EVI Artisan Bakehouse in Mendip

We love visiting Evi's. Lovely environment, friendly accommodating staff and yummy food. The addition of pizzas to the menu has widened its appeal to family tastes. Food is prepared and cooked in the open kitchen and the chef is keen to know how we enjoyed the food!

I went there for the first time to celebrate my birthday. I wanted to try something new and I wasn’t disappointed. The host was very welcoming, friendly and efficient. Nothing was too much trouble . Food … food was delicious and hot! I’m was so pleased with everything and I’m sure I will be coming back ! I can definitely recommend ! thank you for making it special we all enjoy it !

Amazing food wow! I would say I eat out quite a lot socialising with friends and family so I don't really have high expectations for places and I'm rarely wowed by any restaurants but Evi did just that. The food was incredible. Hot meze food is a big reccomendion from me! Also they had a pizza oven so next time I come I'll try a pizza. Good selection of food. And even some good vegetarian options and an option of gluten free pizza. Really is a hidden gem in eastleigh! Only downfall I would say would be the waitresses. But not their fault just a little chaotic, needs a little more structure of them serving the same tables for more consistency. They were friendly and intentive.

As always a wonderful meal, if all they served was pita and spicy cheese it would still be amazing!!! Mix grill, we’ll cooked dad had the lambs liver ewww but he said it was to die for! Good wine amazing service as expected. Every time we come here we are looked after! People need to eat out more and fill this place every evening! The cost of cooking at home is becoming ridiculous it’s cheaper to eat out, so come here and you won’t be disappointed!!!!! Service top notch again !!! Try and stop me from coming here !!!!

What a little hidden gem in Eastleigh High Street! Having never visited before we thought it was excellent. The food was beautifully cooked, authentic and very tasty. We ordered 7 meze dishes and they were all really yummy! Excellent value for money. The staff were very attentive and knowledgeable. Thank you guy we loved it and will come back soon!

Wonderful restaurant with excellent meals and welcoming personnel. Incredibly well-designed, gives you a homely feeling. My kids already asked me when we can visit Evi again. We will definitely come back there. Just hoping next time they will have Turkish delight as a dessert option.

Great New Years Eve dinner and entertainment. We had a selection of cold and hot meze followed by desert. Quick and friendly service.

Visited yesterday with friends and their kids who live in the town. Pizza oven not working. No lamb cutlets. No swordfish. Couple of other things also unavailable from the menu and it was only 6pm! Chef definitely put the char in chargrilled for the meat. Starters came with the main but were better than the main courses. Something different for the kids to try but as someone who has numerous Turkish restaurants nearby in West London this didn't come close to any of them. Very disappointing

This is by far the best place to eat in Eastleigh. There is a lovely atmosphere, friendly & attentive staff, and a great range of food & drinks - especially good wines. The range of foods include typical mezes, fish, meat as well as wonderful pizzas - something for everyone! I cannot resist going there regularly!

Not been to Eastleigh for years but somehow ended up there tonight and did we have a lucky find. Ordered a coupe of Pizzas and they were superb, closest to real Italian Pizza I've had locally. The waiter was new , I think and was very good. The 2 chefs, maybe Father and Son were excellent too, very friendly and professional. Highly recommend this place, might even venture into Eastleigh again, just for this.

The restaurant was quite busy but we were able to get a table without booking. The food was excellent as was the atmosphere and service. We had lamb cutlets, grilled chicken (perfectly cooked) with salad, pita, wine and beer. The price was very reasonable considering everything was such high quality, so excellent value for money too. We'll be back !

Just lovely. Great atmosphere, range of food & beer. Service was perfect mix of attentive but not overbearing. Thank you, we will be back.

A lovely vibe, surroundings and food. The restaurant was full, however we were invited to eat in the wine bar across the road. Although they were busy the food arrived quickly. We had a range of dishes all of which were delicious. The staff were attentive. It took a while to pay the bill due to the business of the staff. Live music too.

Great service from the waiter and a fantastic meal. Dined on my own and I was made to feel very welcome. Chose the mixed Cold Meze Platter and Lamb/Beef midi kofte. It was all freshly made and tasty. I am not a big fan of chilli and the chef was able to accommodate this request. Will definitely visit again if I am in the area.

I joined some work colleagues here for dinner this week and was so impressed. Lovely staff and food and the best falafel I have ever tasted

Stopped in Eastleigh for lunch. Just a 'spur-of-the-moment' decision. After 20 minutes of Dominoes Pizza, Gregg's and cheap cafés we were starting to regret the impromptu idea. Then my wife and I spotted this Turkish restaurant. The menu outside looked good, the prices were reasonable and more importantly the customers inside looked like they were enjoying themselves. The waitress was a delight. Attentive, fun, polite and professional. It seemed to be just her and one chef working, but you'd never know from the service and food quality. This is truly a gem that would not be out of place in London. It was clean, food was hot, great tasting, chicken and squid were cooked perfectly (not dry or rubber-like) and the flavours were lovely. All the food orders were delivered to the table in good time and the quantity was perfect for the two of us. Wish we could have eaten here for dinner – just a lunch was not enough.

Lovely, tasty and authentic Turkish tapas with excellent service, this is the first time we have been but will definitely return. Lovely inside and great to be able to see the open kitchen. We were made to fe very welcome. A fantastic find in Eastleigh.

We visited in early January and had absolutely delicious Turkish food with great customer service. It’s well worth a visit. The restaurant was previously situated directly opposite (as part of Artisan wine bar) but the owners have split the business locating the restaurant in the new Evi Bakehouse and keeping Artisan as a wine bar. Having previously visited Artisan on several occasions we were really hoping the mezze dishes hadn’t lost their fantastic taste and charm. They haven’t! Evi brings exactly the same gorgeous tasty dishes in a new setting. The restaurant is warm, inviting and cozy. The staff were really helpful in explaining the menu and giving recommendations. Particular favourites were the halloumi and sucuk, the swordfish, the Turlu (vegetable stew) and of course the Camembert fondue!! We’ve booked again to come back in February. Amazing food!

So we decided to have a lunch time treat at this venue today at lunchtime- the food prices on the higher side ie £7.95 for 6-8 tiny bits of chicken on some lettuce- the food was tasty however the halloumi was literally shown the pan so rubbery in texture however when I asked them to cook it further they did come back with an entire fresh dish which was great customer service - the other issues that let this venue down was the lack of heating about from a plug in heater and my friend wanted a rose spritz with lemonade- this drink ended up costing £9.45 for a medium- due to the fact the charged us £3.95 for a can of lemonade we didn’t want or ask for she just wanted a splash!! We are both sadly people who have to watch our outgoings so embarrassingly the money we had for a tip was gone on £3.95 for lemonade! I’d return for the food but not a rose spritz The waitress was lovely and very helpful I have to say and we felt bad for her but if we had been told it would cost so much we would of choose differently The only other thing is the menu lacks description we had to ask many times what the £20pp grilled platter entailed !

A gem in the middle of Eastleigh, this restaurant was suggested to us by a friend and what a great tip it was. Evi is a welcoming place, pleasantly decorated and very clean. The staff were extremely polite, knowledgeable about the food, able to offer much appreciated advice, and keen to make sure we had a good experience. The food was truly delicious. We had a variety of mezze, all so flavoursome. Not a morsel was left and it is difficult to say which one was the best: falafel, baked aubergine, stew …. We will definitely return to sample more of the wonderful food and hospitality of this super restaurant.

Just delicious and amazing service! Thoroughly recommend to anyone wanting an authentic meal! Please open one in Winchester!!

Booked last minute for a cheeky pizza as we saw they had a singer on a Friday night. Great food, fantastic atmosphere, nice decor, attentive friendly service and the singer was the icing on the cake . Highly recommend!

Visited early Friday evening, incredibly friendly staff, absolutely one of the best pizzas I ever had, would certainly recommend this place to anyone. Only downside is I live in Yorkshire so can’t get back as often as I would like. Thank you, excellent.

Oh my.... hands down the best pizza I've ever had. Absolutely delicious. Lovely waitress too. Cannot believe it's not busier on a weekend! Can't wait to come back.

Been to Evi's maybe 10 times now. Went start of summer just to see and absolutely amazing. All staff are friendly and owner and son very friendly aswell. Would not hesitate to recommend this great restaurant Paul and Alison

Amazing pizzas, light & thin with generous topping. Best I’ve had for ages, friendly service & lovely atmosphere. Will definitely come back. Some garlic butter as an additional dip for dough balls was the only thing I’d add but a fab meal

I went here with my family and everything about it was just beautiful, the staff were friendly and kind and let us try some of the toppings before we ordered so we were sure about what we liked. There was a lovely atmosphere with a...

Nice restaurant, great staff and amazing food. The pizzas were lovely and thin with loads of ingredients, no skimping on toppings. Suitable for couples and families and will be returning with ours soon

Two families with three children came here for the first time, and had a great meal served by friendly staff. Turkish meze style starters were amazing, and the pizzas tasted excellent! Will definitely be back!

Genuinely one of the best pizzas I’ve had in a long time. Perfectly thin and crispy base, decent toppings. Very friendly service

Great Service, great chef and amazing pizza’s. you will not be disappointed. We also had the best olives and an amazing Greek salad.

Came here for lunch today. Had the most amazing pizzas ever!! Such a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere with welcoming staff too. Would definitely recommend! 5 stars!

This has to be the best pizza place in Hampshire, the dough is excellent, crispy yet soft, yet so so tasty. Can’t wait to come back and work through the whole menu .

We visited this restaurant for the first time, and we weren't disappointed. The welcome we received was warm and friendly and the service throughout our visit was great. The chef even made time on a busy evening to personally visit each table, truly outstanding and...

We’ve been regular customers of Artisan for a good few years now and we were so pleased to hear that they were opening a new restaurant. Just like we’ve always had at Artisan, the welcome from Oz, Hasan and the team is as warm as...

Service was great,staff were chatty,cooked quickly while i waited and best of all the pizzas were so good.Tried 4 and we all enjoyed them at home,tastes so much better cooked that way,nice job Oz and team

You will not find any better pizza in this area. Very authentic, delicious stonebaked Italian-style pizzas from a fantastic local business. Please support these guys in their venture. When the restaurant is allowed to open it will be an absolute credit to the area.

Just finished my second pizza order. The best pizza I have ever eaten. Made with love and care by proper pizza chefs.

Ordered a gluten free pepperoni and basil pizza this evening and have to say it was the best gluten free pizza that I have ever had. I'm gluten intolerant and most GF pizzas are like cardboard. This one was great! The base was a thinner...

Oz, as you know this is my first pizza and it was delivered!! Well cooked and well presented!! Superb taste!! Couldn't have asked for better this won't be my last!!

Just had a delivery of the Italian meats and the new forest mushroom pizzaz. Absolutely delicious. Will definitely order again. Thank you very much. Really lovely and friendly family business.

Visited on opening day and the food was amazing! Would definitely recommend and can’t wait to be able to eat inside when normality has returned! Friendly staff and delicious pizza.

What an amazing place! The staff are so friendly, and the pizzas are really good quality with lovely fresh ingredients. The decoration was beautiful with lovely attention to detail. A real gem for Eastleigh. Felt safe collecting and all Covid precautions were in place. I...

We ordered the mead deal for delivery and we’re not disappointed. We had the New Forest mushroom and Italian Meats. Both pizzas were hot and fresh and were definitely
