MELIS RESTAURANT WIGAN in Wigan

Booked for New Year’s Eve for two excellent meal ,service really good,price paid very reasonable , our meal booked for2pm think next time maybe book 5or6 ish

Overpriced with small portions, price of the food/service does not reflect portion size or qauilty. More of a takeaway then a restaurant, expected to be absolutely stuffed with the price of the mains being £20 each. Ordered sea bass which was swimming in butter, the prawns and vegetables chewy highly suspect these are cooked from frozen. The chicken swekers was alright but expected more then 5 small chunks of chicken , along with small amount of rice. None of the service staff asked was the meal alright at anytime. we left half of the sea bass untouched to which they didn't even clock on that we didn't enjoy it. Staff too busy chit chatting with themselves , when the bill arrived we sat there for at least 5 minutes with a empty cleared table and my debit card in hand. I then had to go up and ask the staff to pay the bill. Don't bother. You can see by the owners automated response they don't care at all.

Super place. Food was excellent and the service great. My friend and I had a fabulous time in a very relaxed setting.

12 of us went for a 21st birthday ,food was gorgeous ,all had different dishes and everyone enjoyed their meal ,staff very friendly polite and helpful,lovely clean place and lovely atmosphere,would definitely recommend,thankyou melis xx

Amazing staff ,especially at the time of grief were having was amazing people and treated us special

Great food, however, 1 staff member is a bit abrupt and looks at you harshly whenever you order anything

very good customer service friendly and approachable, good quality food and drinks

Totally diabolical service we received today. I little skewer with 2 mouthfuls of rice and 2 mouthfuls of salad. I had to ask for more rice which is sad because you want value for money for repeat business. The blonde waitress wearing glasses has zero customer service skills and no concern for the customer’s concern just “okay”. Unhappy with service and will certainly not be returning. You get ripped off what you’re paying compared to the tiny food portion. Typical example of a money wasting business!

I had a very positive and pleasant experience at this restaurant. The food is outstanding and abundant, I had to check if the Meze for 1 was not actually a platter for 3! Charcoal Meats are delicious served with rice, salad and tzatziki… I had to ask could I take some home, I couldn’t finish it. Absolutely no problem. Staff are so accommodating. Staff are also polite, welcoming and work extremely hard. Mobility facilities are very much up to standard and plenty of space to move and relax. A lovely place to visit this time of year or for any occasion. We will definitely be returning.

Ozlem is so cute, she served us with her whole heart from start to finish. The food was brilliant. Recommend the place..

Food was so tasty, the portion sizes were more than I thought, got starters and a main and the food was lovely and bigger than expected, great value for money and the blonde waitress with glasses was lovely and very attentive, always asking if we needed anything and had a nice chat with our table, would definitely return again, unfortunately have to return home to Ireland after the Christmas as came here for a family meal on a trip but this is a gem of restaurant with great staff and food, locals should feel very lucky to have this place around

My family has found their new favourite spot for when we go out for dinner on a Sunday. Delicious food, big portions, friendly staff and a cosy atmosphere. Daniella is gorgeous.

We arrived late after a hectic day. The service was excellent, food was exceptional and the atmosphere was relaxing. Just what we needed. I would happily recommend Melis and will go again.

Great food! The Melis grill sharing platter is a must try! 😎🤙

We had a table of 28 booked.. service was fast, food came out fresh and hot, nothing was missed and nothing was too much trouble for them.. Mixed grill was excellent 👍 Great atmosphere inside.

We went on a Monday evening with friends, it was on the quiet side as expected, but still a lovely atmosphere. Food was outstanding and the service absolutely great. A member of the group had an allergy and the staff very much took care of this. Thank you

Class food and really nice staff, definitely a new favourite

Best food in ages nice staff and service

I am writing to express my disappointment regarding our dining experience at your restaurant .which was meant to be a special celebration for my daughter’s birthday. When I made the reservation, I specifically mentioned that it was for my daughter’s birthday. During dinner, I asked a staff member if there were any special dishes or desserts we could order to celebrate. Without any expression or empathy, the staff member simply told me that nothing was available because it required prior booking. However, less than a minute later, I noticed another table being served a dessert with sparklers while the staff sang a birthday song. This left me puzzled and frustrated—what was that if not a birthday celebration? My daughter was incredibly disappointed, and what was supposed to be a joyous occasion turned into a very unpleasant experience for us. I hope you can ensure better communication and service for special occasions in the future.

Delicious well cooked food in a contemporary setting. Would definitely recommend.

beautiful place nice atmosphere delicious food

Been wanting to try here for ages. We've scratched that itch and won't be returning. Pros - cocktails are great, nicely decorated, has the Instagram appeal. Belly dancer was different and a nice interlude and smells from the grill were amazing. Cons - greeting at the door was cold and needed charm and work. Serving staff were keen but we're just too young and inexperienced (dropped a tub of sauce which splattered all down the side of two of us. Accidents happen so havent just based the comment on this). Food was average overall , the Turkish mixed grill for one was disappointing at that price point. For us it's a case of All that Glitters isn't Gold.

We've been a couple of times now, the food is outstanding, service is very good too. Quite good options for gluten free apart from dessert where it was only icecream for me. The inside is decorated beautifully and kept immaculate.

Really good customer service, all staff was very polite and kind, service was very quick and food was amazing. Would definitely come again

Overall amazing lovely food, great service, and shishas are brilliant. Definitely recommend even if you want to chill out theres a lounge where you can chill out and have a coffee, tea or alchoholic beverage

Amazing food, great service and a lovely quiet atmosphere on a Thursday evening.

We are regular clients, bring all our customers here and the smiles from all the staff are tremendous Fatih is a legend 🤩

We come here twice a week. It is local to one of our biggest customers and we bring all our prospects here for a beautiful lunch. Always a welcoming smile every time we come. The food is great and the atmosphere is great. Five stars.

My husband has been telling me he wants to try this place for the longest and im glad we did. Gorgeous interior for my insta girlies. Loads of space inside and they have private rooms too. The service was lightening fast. I hate waiting to be asked to order even for starters but the staff was always on time. Great food. I had two starters and a main meal - my pregnant belly was equally pleased. Even gave us some free Turkish bread. Great place for birthday celebrations too and the prices are ace!

Best meal in a while, amazing food, beautiful surroundings, attentive polite staff, absolutely stuffed now 😋 we had sharing Melis platter for 2 🍖

Very welcoming atmosphere Cozy envoronment Delious meal, we had Platter for 4 and platter for 2, it worths the money,i will definitely visit here again, we were served by a lovely staff CANEL, she is a 5 star staff.She helped us alot, her response was fast to our orders

Lovely meal for my sisters birthday

It was our wedding anniversary yesterday and we decided to have a dinner outside the home with the kids. The services were top notch. Daniella was awesome! The meals were so filling and the kids were happy. We will definitely be visiting again and I would recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Great place the staff are so friendly the food is top quality 👏

Great food! worth a trip over the weekend with family and friends. Me and the wife didn't have the bollocks to try a sharing platter, oh my word!! only for the big hitters! entertainment great too....

First time coming here food was amazing good service beautiful place all around 💯 will be back x

I recently celebrated my birthday at Melis Restaurant , and it was an unforgettable experience! The atmosphere was perfect for the occasion, and the food was absolutely fantastic—full of flavor and beautifully presented. A special shoutout to our amazing waitress, Daniela, who went above and beyond to make the evening truly special. She was attentive, kind, and made sure everything was perfect for my party. Her warm and friendly service added so much to the celebration. Thank you, Daniela, and thank you, Melis, for making my birthday so wonderful! Highly recommend this place.

Beautiful restaurant with great atmosphere

Bit weired having a woman belly dance while eating food .. but it's a great place to eat

Very lovely place. Good was delicious and so were the staff and entertainment only one particular staff made me rate it low.

Loved every minute of it. The service from Mel was fantastic she couldnt do enough, food was incredible everything about the evening was lovely. Decor inside really nice 10/10

Called on spec about 2.30pm. Food was great but took a long time to arrive. I had the chicken skewer and a chocolate mousse type dessert.

Excellent quality food. Wide range of Med dishes. Thoroughly recommend the Turkish red wine. The staff a efficient and courteous. The place is busy so glad I booked, and I understand why. Thee atmosphere is bubbly with music at the right level. It is warmly decorated with colour without being garish. 10 mins in its easy to forget you are in Wigan (absolutely nothing wrong with being in Wigan) you could easily be in the Med.......Go.

Nice food good service little pricey

Great food lovely restaurant great atmosphere and belly dancing too

Just been for a family meal. Service was great . The food was outstanding. Garlic mushroom starters, goats cheese starter, and you definitely have to try the lamb chops. They really know how to cook a perfect steak also. The portions are very generous and the food is piping hot and full of flavour. Thank you for a wonderful meal.

Very helpful staff , very friendly and food is very tasty, deffinatelly will come again

Really tasty food, on the pricier side for Wigan but didn't mind since the food was tasty, good portions and good service. The restaurant was nicely decorated but it was quiet when we went. Would go back.

From the minute we walked in we were made to feel very welcome. The decor is wonderful. The waiting staff were excellent. The food was fantastic and so much of it. Highly recommend this place.

Amazing food and outstanding service. The waitresses were super polite and attentive. Courses were served quickly and everything tasted fantastic. We were entertained by a lovely lady doing a belly and swords dance. I'd definitely eat here again.

Absolutely fantastic Daniela is wonderful so pleasant and professional

Food was excellent x our waitress Daniella was lovely, ensuring we all had a wonderful evening. Can not fault anything, wonderful will definitely visit again.

Daniella was lovely great food and service what more could you ask for . Great restaurant.

The best place ve ever eaten. I've been 9 times since it opened and it NEVER disappoints. DANIELLA is such a people person and remembers us each time we come in making us not just a number. Very personal touch. Everything on the menu has blown us away. Well done.

Outstanding restaurant. Sharing platter to start is a feast in itself. Washed down with a couple of pints of Efes beer. Perfect..

Our favourite place to come. Love the food and the staff are so lovely. Highly recommend

Food a lot better than I was expecting. Seafood casserole was lovely.

I booked a table for 2 as it was my birthday for 8 pm as we read some good reviews about this restaurant and upon arrival we were shocked to see such a beautiful restaurant but totally empty with not a single customer however we were welcomed by a charming waitress and given a table. We ordered cocktails which arrived on time and were good however the starter was quite salty so we thought it could be one off. We than received our mains after a long wait and were shocked to find the poor quality of food the rice was uncooked and the meat was like rubber unchewable and the chicken was inedible. We were so disappointed that we cancelled our meal and paid for our drinks and left. Our celebration was spoiled although the restaurant is beautiful and the waitresses were excellent. Sad about the food though

Had an amazing night with family xx service was great… Danielle was lovely. Absolutely recommend. Steak was great 😊

Went to Melis today by happy accident - and we were blown away by the great atmosphere, superb service and absolutely delicious food. Its really trendy and funky design interior made us feel a million miles away and was so fun and eclectic. We ordered the meze platter to share and my hubby was really hungry and wanted the mix grill platter as well. When it came to the table I was giggling because there was so much food! We really would have been fine with one dish - the portions are very generous. They were so kind to wrap up the remaining food for us to take home. The halloumi melted in your mouth, as did the various meat dishes - it was all so tender! There was a party and a birthday party at different tables and we happily clapped and sang along with them - it just led to a really great ambience. Hubby and I have decided this is where our next date night will be and if he has to take his boss out it will be here!.

What a fabulous evening we had at Melis. The good was delicious and the service was great. I would highly recommend.

We have dined here tonight for the second time. First time round was not great but tonight was like a completely different restaurant. The food was amazing, tasty, hot and fast. The atmosphere was great. Last time the music was really loud and we struggled having a conversation but tonight it was turned down after the Turkish dancer had finished, the atmosphere was really good. Service was excellent. We always had drinks and never got chance to get to an empty glass. We were checked on to ensure we had everything we needed and everything was ok. I have to say a special thank you to Danela. After our first experience she has ensured our second visit was the complete opposite. Not just ourselves though, from observing everyone received the same high level of service. Thank you Daniela for a beautiful meal, definitely up at the top for best meals we’ve had. We will be back again very soon.

Love this restaurant. The food is great, service is always good and friendly. And the atmosphere is incredible, belly dancers and fire breathers, great entertainment and keeps the kids amused.

Stumbled across this place early Friday evening whilst in town and looking for somewhere to eat. Amazing food and fast, friendly service. The interior looks amazing as well! Highly recommended, will definitely revisit next time I'm in town.

Fantastic night.Food was so good right through from starters to main meals.Service was excellent.Much to the Birthday boys delight who turned one today the belly dancer was great entertainment.And not forgetting the staff who brought cake out and sang Happy Birthday Thanks again we will definitely be visiting again xxx

Have been put off visiting because of the external building but WOW!!! Inside is absolutely stunning. Beautiful quirky decor, very welcoming. The staff very friendly and helpful. The food was to die for!!! Huge portions even though we had the afternoon deals. Really nice wine selection and very reasonable prices for food and drinks. Will definitely be visiting again soon.

Service was very bad Food was cold and half of it missing Asked 2 servers for the rest of the order after waiting for ten minutes finally got it After finishing the cold food and asking 4 different people for more drinks we gave up as was never going to get the drinks it still took 25 minutes to get the bill to pay with no drinks and a table full of dirty plates

Excellent atmosphere and great music with happy helpful staff. And the food is beautiful and tasty

Went last night for a meal, have nothing but praise for this restaurant. The food was amazing and the staff very friendly. We asked for three Bloody Mary’s which we didn’t realise weren’t on the cocktail list but they were made for us.

We came here for lunch, and we really enjoyed it. They have a good choice of food and drink. Staff are lovely and friendly. The restaurant is immaculate, and really nice. Highly recommend

Had a wonderful meal and glass of wine, the atmosphere is good and staff helpful. I would recommend this place.

Excellent food and lovely staff, would recommend and will go there again 😀

Excellent restaurant all round.

Had the wife's 40th tonight. Can't thank the staff enough. Superb night superb food great place...

Have been here a couple of times great food lovely staff and great atmosphere would recommend

Nothing but good about this place Food, Service, Entertainment 💯 % well worth a visit

We're from London we recommended to anybody enjoy the food we would come back again but unfortunately we're from London

Fantastic restaurant! Great food, service second to none and ambience superb! Can’t praise this place enough.

Visited Melis last night. Had hallumi skewers and been up all night experiencing food poisoning. Will not be coming again. Its a shame as the staff were lovely.

Nice ambience, excellent service, well definitely be there again.

Lovely place to eat. Great tasting food. Fabulous service from staff. Best restaurant in Wigan. Highly recommended.

What a fabulous place! Absolutely stunning interior, the staff are amazing and the food was out of this world! I couldn't take pictures because I was too busy eating! Would highly recommend.

Very busy and popular restaurant opposite the petrol station on Scot lane. They had a belly dancer who made her way around the tables, this was on a Saturday night, this was cool and something different, it makes the restaurant stand out from others. Due to it being very busy with several large tables of birthday parties, I did feel we were forgotten about as we had to wait quite a while for two other guests to receive their starters, after two other guests had already got theirs. When asked how long the starters were going to take, staff were attentive and sorted this out quickly. Similar thing happened with the mains, (after only being given garlic bread when it was to come all together with the mains) I questioned how long the wait was for all 4 guests chicken doners , the waiter apologised and the mains were brought out straight away. Massive portions for the mains, I got a chicken doner, shame you only get a small sized tortilla though, like a strip of it, as it would go further with the amount of meat. Fresh salad too which is nice, again very generous amounts of food. The cocktails are nice, strong too, which is always good. I'd go again and maybe try a different dish and order extra tortilla/pitta for my meat, I think I'd also maybe go earlier or in the midweek to avoid the busier times. Staff did do really well to accommodate guests and were attentive, so I have to give them credit for this.

Absolutely brilliant all 'round! So many gluten free options, all of which are delicious. Easily one of the best restaurants in Wigan!

Great staff, great atmosphere and absolutely amazing food. It was our first time here tonight and we will definitely be back again soon. Thank you

Went there a friend’s birthday party. Staff are very friendly and food is great, especially the lamb chops. Had a really great time at the restaurant

Really enjoyed this our first visit fantastic service .very busy on Sat night and parking is difficult as the car park isn't big enough but will definitely be back.

Fabio Fehmi's smiling face and sweet conversation combined with the delicious food made it a wonderful restaurant. Will go again and again 👍

9 in our party, all had different choices of meals, all enjoyed their meals, good size portions

Fantastic, cannot fault at all, great food, great sized portions, great service, great atmosphere what more could you want, shame we are only visiting or we would be back quite often
