Jars Meze in Bath and North East Somerset

Unfortunately it is not authentic Greek food at all. £26 for a ‘gyros ‘ which is basically coop salad, air fried chips and bits of chicken with onion. Complete rip off. Service and atmosphere good so that is a positive. Go elsewhere in Bath

First visit to Bath & very satisfying dinner-great food & service- highly recommend. We ordered several vegetarian items & split all. Delicious!

Great food and service.best Greek food I have eaten in the United Kingdom. Great vegetarian and vegan options along with meat and seafood options.highly recommend

Fantastic! Everything was perfect from the moment we got there. I had the lamb keleftika and it was beautiful as was the tzatziki and the anchovies. The Greek white wine was delicious. I left my jacket by mistake and the lady the next day recognised me straight away and had kindly kept my jacket. Will certainly return when in Bath again

Lovely meal, great atmosphere, pleasant and helpful staff.

Amazing staff. Great tasty food.

Decent starters: augergine dip a bit heavy on the tomato and fair spanakopita. Pitta was home-made and crispy, marinaded pork good and prawn giros spicy in their tomato sauce. Mythos beer and solid shortmwine list including Xavromarkos. Pleasant setaing in the alleyway r indoors.

The vegetarian dishes were full of flavour using typical vegetables one would expect in Greek cooking. The variety of the vegetarian option was good, although the mushooms were over salty. The kleftiko was a bit of a disappointment. It came in a sauce which was over salted and given the hefty price for the dish was served with some new potatoes and NOTHING else. So don't order this as it is not a balanced meal. I felt sorry for my husband who had to wait ages for it while the rest of the party were half way through the meal. Yes, Bath prices, but still over priced and not at all encouraging to want to return.

Very nice meal on a warm August night

Rather startling £111 bill for two, including five glasses of wine. Meze were OK, gigantas being the best thing we had. Chicken kebab was dry and presented with an enormous pile of very ordinary chips. If you had this from a takeaway van you might think it OK, but at these prices, no.

We visited recently when we had a weekend away in Bath recently. We did book a few days before we visited, and we are glad we did. Really friendly staff. We were seated outside, which was great as it was a warn night. Good menu, lots to choose from. We loved our food. We loved the wine. This was a really nice evening and a great venue.

You are in for a real treat and great encounter. Cosy atmosphere with authentic food and a warm welcome from the staff. I recommend the place without hesitation, do go all in, and include a freshly baked desert!

Superb as always, had the meat platter to share with my wife. Delicious!

Delicious greek food (meat feast + extra chips + smoked aubergine dip). Meat feast is for 2 very hungry people or 3 people.

A gorgeous family ran Greek restaurant down one of the many cute alley ways in Bath. We were spoilt for choice with the menu and recommended a few dishes by a customer. I did find the prices quite over priced to be honest & asked the 12.5 added service charge to be removed. Albeit the food was delicious we didn’t feel they went above and beyond to warrant the service charge.

We had just a fantastic dinner there Yesterday. The food was delicious, the atmosphere great. Totally recommendable.

Absolutely horrible food. They serve very poor quality food, very dry shavings of chicken Gyro with very dry old pita and French fries that were not listed on the menu, instead of roasted potatoes. Tzatziki were completely tasteless lacking any spices. Manager refused to take responsibility and change this terrible inedible entree, as responsible manager should. We had to pay and leave this restaurant hungry. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE !

Four of us had meze, and each plate was perfect, full of flavour. Very satisfied indeed, would most definitely go back.

I should have read the recent reviews about the Gyros first! Unfortunately, I also ordered the Gyros and received a small portion of almost cold, very dry meat (as it had been previously cut and left for a while) sitting on a handful fries to make it look bigger. I also ordered some Taramasalata which was one of the worst I ever have eaten. No taste of fish roe whatsoever. Looked/ tasted more like coloured majonnaise. When I complaint about the awful Gyros then the manager Roxana gave me a £0.75 discount. Thank you, that was very generous Roxana!

Fantastic food. Great to share with friends and family. Always very welcoming. One of my go-to places to eat in Bath.

Very friendly staff and a nice spot to sit, I would definitely say avoid the gyros but the rest of the menu looked better

We love it here. We've come 3 times & every time it has been excellent. We always have the vegetable platter which is diverse & fresh. Being able to sit outside is a real bonus. Simply sensational.

I visited on a "peak" night and found it to be quite busy, although staff still managed to be attentive. As a table of 2 I would have preferred somewhere a little quieter - there were several larger parties that were a little loud - although we probably should have mentioned this. As for the food, it was tasty but I was let down in terms of value. At £18-something the chicken gyros were one of the cheapest mains on the menu, but still pretty high up in terms of price. I don't feel like what I got reflected this - there were only 2 pitta slices included, for example, and overall felt a little overpriced. However, as mentioned staff were lovely and attentive, so bonus points for that!

Not the best I was given a half empty bottle of tonic water (a mistake ??) Food dry

We, a party of nine on a Wednesday night, were the only people in the restaurant. An ex-Bath student recommended it so it must have been better in the past. We ordered from the menu only then to be told which dishes wee unavailable that evening. The extras especially are exceptionally poor value for money!

My wife and I enjoyed a delicious meal on 6th June and, as always, the food was first class. The service was attentive, without being intrusive, and the dishes arrived promptly. We are looking forward to our next visit.

Great relaxing lunch. Food excellent and service amazing.

We went there and we met by rude staff then we ordered the food and was so disappointed I have been in many greece restaurants but this was the worst I have ever been.

Lovely little street in Bath, lots of outside seating at pubs, restaurants and cafes. Unfortunately it was full outside but the inside space at the Greek restaurant is cosy and atmospheric. Lots of choice on the menu and we thoroughly enjoyed our red peppers, aubergine dip and chicken gyros. Very polite and friendly service.

Amazing hidden gem in Bath. Everything felt super authentic and the food was outstanding. We are pescatarian and found that there were PLENTY of veggie/pesce options. Definitely recommend the mussels and the moussaka! Nina, our waitress, was so friendly and informative. Will 100% be coming back with friends.

The food is SO GOOD. Everything we had was delicious. The staff are very friendly and it's a great atmosphere. We went as a group of 5 friends and had a lovely evening.

A colleague recommended this place when my husband and I were in Bath for a weekend. It was buzzing on a sunny Saturday and we had a really lovely meal. The dips were delicious, so much nicer than supermarket ones and really fresh. My husband enjoyed a very tender pork dish and I loved my tomatoey prawn dish. I would say that the spanokopita is a little disappointing and I didn't love that you could see the lady microwaving the dolmades whilst sat in the restaurant but it did all still taste very fresh and the staff were very friendly. Also very clean toilets which I always appreciate :)

Not impressed at all . As previous review not worth the money . Gyros mixed in with overcooked rock hard chips . The gyros were like rubber . Pitta not included with dips charge extra . Oh and no wifi in a restaurant … now that’s unheard off !! Would never return !

Make sure when you pay your bill that you double check..because they are adding extra on your bill..not the same price as the menu..verry disonest. Food is ok overall.

A table for four was promptly available upon our arrival. We were warmly welcomed by the staff. The service was prompt and courteous. We enjoyed the food and wine from an ample choice menu.

Some of the best Greek food we have had outside of Greece. The Stifado was beautiful and my wife loved the Moussaka. The staff and service was spot on. Look forward to going back someday.

Most of the food was great, just extremely expensive.

Great ambience, service and incredible food. What a great family feel restaurant. I couldn't recommend it more highly.

It was okay—a little pricy, but you get 25% off during the weekday. I don’t think I’d want to pay full price, though. The gyros looked like a hefty portion, but it was just padded out with a lot of fries. I was expecting the spanakopita to be flakier, so it wasn’t anything to rave about. The taramasalata was nothing particular, too, and I’m normally a big fan of it. Furthermore, I didn’t like that you had to order pita separately for the dips. Friendly service and pleasant ambience, but it’s not worth the price for me.

We visited Jars Meze as a large group, with a variety of dietary requirements including coeliac, vegan & vegetarian . The staff looked after us excellently, took the dietary requirements seriously and made us feel very welcome. Everyone found something delicious to eat and really enjoyed their meal. The atmosphere, surroundings and staff at the restaurant are lovely too. Highly recommend a visit!

The service was great, very pleasant waiters. The food was also nice. It tasted authentically greek. That said, I found it quite expensive for the portion size.

If you are looking for the closest thing to authentic greek food, this is definitely worth your time when in Bath. The menu was so heavenly I had to run from this place for fear of overeating. Mind you, I sat next to a couple that loved it so much last night, they had to come back again today! Everything was served to perfection. Téleios

Great little Greek restaurant serving all the traditional foods. We had a selection of dishes, all great. Service and staff are very good . We will return. Lovely food.

Lovely authentic greek cuisine with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend here any night of the week.

Booked this restaurant based on good reviews. We waited 40 minutes for olives then starters 45 minutes in. My daughter had a starter which had filo pastry. The pastry was not crispy it was rubbery and hard to cut. We complained to be told the pastry is like that because it's how customers prefer it! My daughter could not eat it. The main courses came, mine was moussaka which was made with pork. It was cold in the middle and not edible. I complained to be told the chefs do not check if it is hot in the middle. There were microwaves constantly pinging! We left hungry and went elsewhere. We paid for one starter one main which also wasn't nice and was also not eaten, and a bottle of prosecco which was £30. The only good thing was the male waiter who was lovely and very helpful even though he was extremely busy.

Our favourite place to eat when in Bath! Admittedly we are huge fans of Greek food, and whilst there are numerous delightful places to eat in the city, Jars Meze just ticks every box for us. Sadly my phone camera doesn’t do the food justice, but the ‘deconstructed’ Chicken Gyros (pitta bread thoughtfully placed to the side - no soggy bottom here), whilst the chicken sits atop seasoned chips, with a scattering of fresh crisp onion, accompanied by a small salad of leaves with vinegarette dressing and a tasty helping of Tatziki. Meanwhile the husbands Beef Stifado (hearty cuts of beef and perfectly cooked shallots) had him driven to near silence, interjected with sounds of happy munching and groans which would have probably made it to the final cut of When Harry Met Sallys infamous restaurant scene. Washed down with a bottle of cold Mythos and the blackest of Greek coffees, we were almost transported to our last holiday in Santorini (many moons ago), but thankfully, Bath is a damn sight cheaper to get to so we’re counting the days till we can head back to Jars for another delicious meal, where the only difficult decision will be what to pick from the menu.

Delicious Greek food. Friendly staff, nice beer.

Great lunch at Jars as usual..fabulous food..we will be back very soon

We've visited Bath several times and consistently enjoyed fine cuisine. Opting for Greek food due to its reliable quality, we chose Jars Meze. Regrettably, it proved a disappointment – the £17 Gyros was not only pricier than anticipated but also lacked the promised authenticity from Corfu as it was cold, dry and tzatziki was a embarrassing size and tase. The portion, though not minimal, failed to justify the steep cost. For those unfamiliar with Greek cuisine, it's advisable to seek a more accurate representation elsewhere. In essence, reconsider dining at Jars Meze altogether.

Lovely little restaurant, brilliant service and excellent food. Highly recommend.

Lovely staff , great food , price good can't wait to go back try more

The best food and service in Bath You must visit this place

Great shop with an upscale feel and some of the best sweets in town! The host was very attentive and welcoming! You don’t want to miss this stop while in Bath, UK

We stopped in on a rainy night when they were about to close for the day and was greeted by a gentleman that took pride in his appearance, service, and products! We had a baklava that was probably the best we have ever had! I would not miss this stop if you are in Bath, UK. I’m sure there are other places that serve the same products but the whole experience was great at this one!

Lovely little find tucked away down a quiet side street. Friendky helpful staff.

I went with my family to celebrate my mum's birthday and attention and the food couldn't been better. The food was amazing, the moussaka was authentic and very tasty and the attention from the team made our dinner great. We would recommend it for special occasions and we will be back for sure. Thanks a lot!

To much expensive . Staff very friendly The food was very nice except of pork that is horrible, and dessert is not good. Prices are not cheap compared the food. I’m thinking twice next time.

Very good food,not long waiting time,definitely back there again Recommended!

Food very spicy, plenty of onion and paprika, not typical for the Greek food. From the tzatziki you could feel only the garlic powder. Bread full of oil.

Incredible dinner spot! Lovely warm service and a cosy atmosphere. The baked aubergine dish was mouthwatering and the pita bread was so tasty and fresh. My whole family and I loved everything we tried.

Great food, service and atmosphere.

You immediately feel like you're in Greece. The decoration is on point. From a food point of view, you will still feel hungry if you take only one plate as a main course. The pork was amazing but had to be accompanied with some other sides. There was some seafood on the menu but most of them were not available. My friend had had the squid plate and found it okay at best.

We went to jars meze between Christmas and new year. We were quite shocked at how long we had to wait to get served / wait for our food. It took approx an hour to get served. Unfortunately, it didn't seem like it was just us that day as we heard the waitress complaining that another table had to wait for an hour and that they were unhappy with the service. Perhaps they were just particular busy and understaffed in the christmas period. However, the waitresses complaining prevented me from asking for any additional dishes/drinks as we felt bad for overwhelming them. Most of the food was quite nice but I would say it was somewhat overpriced for what it was. The pita bread was quite dry. Given we had ordered mezze dishes, we would have much preferred that dishes came out to the table as they were ready to prevent the long wait time. As there were so many dishes, they didn't fit fully on the table and some were cold by the time we got round to eating them.

Food was overpriced for what it was. The Gyros came on tiny plates with a massive portion of tasteless chicken. A few bits of dry pitta and a jar of tasteless sauce to go with it. We were waiting for drinks for so long that they didn’t come out until the food came out. The restaurant was barely full so there was no excuse to wait for a glass of wine and a soft drink for so long. Extremely expensive .. at £50 you would hope for better. Very disappointing.

Both my friend and I thought the salad was overpriced for what it was. We thought we were ordering main dishes but what we got was far more of a side dish. This in itself was not a huge issue, but when we raised this issue with management we were greeted with an unbelievable level of rudeness. An extremely unpleasant experience. Of course there will be some response to this, trying to discredit me, or worse. I never complain in restaurants and review very generously. Just check out the negative reviews for this place, and responses by management, to see a flavour of this attitude.

A very nicely decorated place with plenty of seating. The price is reasonable especially considering portion size. Service was polite and friendly.

Great food and service.Highly recommend.

Everything was amazing. The menu is clearly labelled with gf etc which makes ordering very easy. We had the Greek salad to start which was incredibly fresh and the Greek red wine complimented it perfectly. Pork and chicken gyros was so delicious but I couldn't finish it so took it home. Stunning complimentary digestif at the end too. We will travel to Bath just to revisit one day!

A cozy little gem in the heart of Bath. Lovely atmosphere. Great Greek food.

I came looking for a quick lunch, and indeed the food came very quickly. That was the highlight. All the rest was just mediocre: really dry and oversalted meat in gyros, overall quality of food the same as in a cheap kebab, yet the price was above £20, no WiFi and absolutely no mobile signal inside, and I had to wait very long for my bill. The kitchen staff had to ring for waiters a lot, as there was no more room for them to put the food but no one came to take it. But the worst was that the food was simply not fresh, it felt like it has been made several hours ago.

Went here for an engagement meal with my family and it was really lovely. Authentic Greek food and every dish was amazing!

Jars Meze is a must for anyone who enjoys great food, a friendly, family and welcoming atmosphere and appreciate a team who are willing to go above and beyond to make your meal and experience a special occasion

One of my favorite meals on a 2 week tour of UK. Delicious baked aubergine fish and amazing salad & bread. Sat outside, cozy w nice views of the avenue.

Really great, has been my second visit because first was so good x

Superb tasty food. Very traditional Greek food. Best in UK in our opinion. Will definitely come again.

Had a lovely dinner in Jars - it was busy for a Wednesday evening so we did wait a little to order/pay but the service was so friendly and the food was amazing so definitely worth it. We ordered a mixture of meze dishes (the smoked aubergine was our fave!) 😍

Ordered two gyros. Huge portions with no taste. Meat was chewy and chips tasted like cooked from frozen bag. Overpriced.

First time we have visited here what a charming place it is atmosphere here was great and piped Greek music. The staff were very polite and so helpful and excellent service. The food myself and wife had was superb, will be returning here again in the near future. It had everything that a meal should have. 😊

We went to jars meze this evening and it was truly incredible. Service was spot on couldn’t fault them. We went for the mixed meat meze and it was all lovely we genuinely couldn’t decide what was best. The pitta bread was super fresh. When we came into the restaurant we were greeted nicely and they talked to us and asked how we were doing seated us and our server came over got us menus and asked about any dietary requirements and were lovely in insuring by even asking the kitchen that there wasn’t anything we couldn’t have. We have said the next time we’re in bath we’ll be coming back. They even brought us some ouzo after the meal and it was a lovely way to round off a lovely evening. In short very welcoming, very helpful, very flavourful. All round an amazing place to eat

Really tasty food and generous portions. Try the Malagouzia white wine, it is incredible.

Brilliant food and lovely staff

Extremely rude, horrible attitude. Came to visit Bath on a weekend for a solo trip, and they did not allow me to have a seat because it was just me 1 person. First, it was a big table that was empty so I didn’t make it an issue if they wanted to guve to 4 people. But then a small table for two got emptied and I sat there. And they came and told me it was reserved andI had to leave. It was not reserved as the people they wanted to put there just arrived, I saw them. What a horrible attitude that was, happened only this one time in my life!

Very welcoming and interesting selection of tasty meze. A lovely meal and lovely evening.

Lots of delicious vegetarian options (the aubergine mezze and the tzatziki were especially amazing). Lovely service as well - really friendly and everything arrived on the table quickly. A lovely meal out!

A delicious Greek meze style (and starter/main) family run restaurant. The aubergine baked under cheese and the gigantes are highly recommended :) Warm and great service.

We ate here on a Friday night after a week in Bath. It's a cosy place with seating outside and in, we ate upstairs in one of the 2 rooms. Had 5 mezes and pitta bread all very tasty and cooked well, especially the stuffed vine leafs. The service was particularly good, the young woman serving us was knowledgeable and friendly. Recommended.

Superb food, super fresh fish, cooked to perfection. Great price too for the quantity of food. I was looked after by Nikki, lovely lady and her recommendations were spot on! Well worth a visit!

Food was not good. My husband ordered a Gyro.. terrible meal. Chicken was like shoe leather. I ordered prawn dish but got tiny overcooked shrimp. Don’t eat here.

Late lunch beautiful afternoon great food and service - Thankyou!

Delicious food and very nice atmosphere

We came for a birthday meal for a gyros lover and we were not disappointed! Our servers were so helpful and kind, really accommodating for a gluten free member of the party (gf meal was just as amazing as the normal food which is very rare!). The atmosphere was lovely and an overall wonderful evening!

My girlfriend and I went for a meal to celebrate her birthday and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The service was exceptional, the food came quickly and was delicious, and the restaurant was so pretty. Would definitely recommend!

The food is utterly delicious, service is fab, and the vibe is lovely. We had the best evening here (and stayed until closing!). We can't wait to come back on our next visit to Bath.

Went there twice in two days when visiting Bath, even when super busy, everything was great. Prices ok as well, definitely recommend.

Only knocked my review down by one as one of meze dishes was disappointing and not to my tsste.

We had the meat mezze between food it was delicious would highly recommend.

Es un local turístico, sólo un baño para todo el local (limpio y con papel). El servicio es rápido pero la comida no es muy buena (para mi gusto), la musaka tenia demasiada patata y poca berenjena y la bechamel carecia de fluidez, demasiado aceitoso... Repito que esta opinión se basa en mis gustos. El local estaba muy limpio. Los precios elevados.

Top notch food! Be aware, the portions are BIG 🙈. Went for the special, didn't regret it! 🐥

A friendly family business which has incredibly tasty food. Would definitely recommend the gyros.
