Melissa Restaurant(Edgware) in Harrow - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Although it says hand-made doner, their Doners are frozen, unhealthy , not recommend.

Some customers put their bare feet on furniture, staff saw this and didn’t intervene. Will change rating if this behaviour stops.

We have enjoyed our recent visits I had chicken wings rice and salad and my wife enjoyed the grilled salmon.

This is written mid August and the restaurant is moving to new premises almost next door within 2 to 3 weeks. Even here in the old place the whole dinner was outstanding, including the service. I couldn't fault anything if I tried. And they serve proper Turkish coffee! (Forgot to ask them about the coffee beans they use. Just divine.)

A wonderful Turkish restaurant in the midst of Stanmore and Edgeware. Yummy food, lots of free salad breads and dips, smiling service and the meat platter to die for. The wings, ribs, seekh kabab etc all fantastic. A restaurant not very expensive. A restaurant I would visit again and again. There to celebrate the 90th birthday of a family member and they made it memorable.

The brunette romanian lady she is very kind and nice woman but is a tall Turkish guy who prepares the food there is so rude …….

Lamb ribs were amazing, best I’ve had in a long time. Staff were really attentive and played with my son even though he’s very shy. Very nice experience. They gave a lollipop to him as well at the end.

I got some wraps for takeaway from here. All very tasty and decent size portions. Restaurant was very busy with diners which is always a good sign. Will be returning for more.

Best garlic sauce, amazing salad, and decent bread. Loved the adana kofte

The chicken was exceptionally delectable, with a tender and succulent texture and so tasty.

Delicious food, nice people. Good service. Happy Customer New venue coming

Excellent service and amazing food! Would totally recommend!

Excellent mixed kebab + chips with salad 👌🏼

Amazing restaurant, fantastic service, and tasty food. Had a Melissa mixed platter with family, as a fan of kebabs I can instantly tell the chef has a done a fantastic job. The waitresses were very helpful and looked after all of us. Would definitely come here again

I often eat here and the food is lovely BUT find it mean that lunch time menu is £12.50 , for a small side and then main and the then the Main is with either chips Or Salad OR Rice ,,just for presentation and bit of lettuce and tomato /Cucumber which would cost nothing but look so much better

Amazing food! Loved it always. Visited here like 20th time and always they make sure the food tastes great. Loved their complimentary salad and breads and humus , perfect blend of dressing and sauces is just amazing combination to enjoy your meal . Tried chips with meat and it is good. Must try rice as it’s cooked perfectly and they’re just awesome. All the shish menu is their specialty. You just make sure to tell them “well done” if you like cooked properly. Delicious food!

Amazing is an understatement. Staff all incredible and really looked after us, food was so good and filling we struggled to finish. Atmosphere was great even when we got told of for being to loud. Desserts spot on. Highly recommend and look forward to going again

Great food cooked well,friendly staff and a relaxing atmosphere, would highly recommend, whether just for a take out or to sit in,a very nice place I keep going back

The food is here is incredible. I'd recommend the special platter; all of the meats perfect cooked; tender and tasty. you can tell everything is prepared fresh included the salad that comes with the platter. All of the staff really friendly.

Melissa’s restaurant 7th April 2024: Booking 7.30pm for four people. Went last night, first time, with friends. Very busy and very noisy. Before our mains, we were served complimentary salad, yoghurt dip and hummus. We ordered and paid for more variety of salad as there were four of us. The yogurt dip and the complimentary salad both had hair (a long single strand) in each. When my friend spoke to the owner of the restaurant. He ignorantly replied. You have done this before in my restaurant and if you don’t like it, don’t come back here anymore. To be fair, the food was very mediocre and we will have no problem in not retuning there. If you do go. Check carefully your food does not contain hair.

Very good food, nice atmosphere, good service. I would recommend 👌

Great tasty food at an affordable price

Good food, good customer service, and lovely restaurant.

Amazing service, amazing food (especially the lamb!) and amazing atmosphere - would 100% recommend!

Had an amazing meal here on Friday night. Great menu selection and delicious food. Staff were excellent. Would highly recommend.

Friendly staff and delicious food!

Delicious food and friendly staff.

One of the worst food quality and staff attitude specially at the counter who is taking orders rude attitude seems like the owner with light beard guy .. everything was cold when i ordered mix doner and attitude was rubbish. Cold bread salad was expired completely and doner was like cooked a week ago . I had to throw the entire food in bin . Ridiculous turkish restaurant ever mellisa

Decent Turkish grill Excellent food, not too pricey either

Delicious food and beautiful service.

Superbe moment, un cousin m'en avait parlé avec des étoiles dans les yeux : la nourriture était délicieuse, le service incroyable et l'ambiance excellente. Je recommande chaudement.

Lovely Turkish food and generous portion sizes and great service

We reserved the table for 32 people last night. It was absolutely perfect in terms of food,Arrangements and service . Fresh hot food on time and all together . I Highly recommend .

We went as a work meet up. The food and service was GREAT.

Excellent Turkish cusine fabulous service great portions

Recommended if you are in the area.

Amazing food! Always a pleasure to come and eat there! Very friendly and welcoming staff too.

We was in the area and discovered this little gem on google and what can we say it was absolutely delicious we had a mixed meze starter and a Melissa special platter for 2 the dips was all homemade and super tasty and the bread was lovely warm and soft. We then got stuck into us platter amd the lamb just melted in your mouth it was to die for we opted for rice instead of chips and all the juices from the meat went into the rice too. There was loads here we couldnt even eat it all and the lovely staff members said they would pack it up for us to take home too. We then washed this down with a Turkish coffee which gave us the much needed caffeine fix after nearly going into a food coma for the long journey home. Weve told my partners lad if there team play against Barnet again next season we wont mind driving again just so we can visit again. If you are in the area be sure to visit and enjoy the lovely meats cooked on the coals.

My very first visit with my friend (who has been telling about this restaurant for ages) last night. WOW!! I was absolutely blown away by the really high quality meats , taste and portion sizes … Seriously it was amazing! The level of service was incredible too.. The fabulous waitress Anna really looked after us. Nothing was too much trouble for her and her lovely smiling face and positive energy made the dining experience complete. Then we met the owner who was utterly charming , humble and a genuinely nice guy. We also met the head chef and all his team who were so happy that we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. I will DEFINITELY be going again and ABSOLUTELY recommend that if you’ve never tried this restaurant.. it’s a must go to dinner..

Personalul foarte amabil pregătit să-ți îndeplinească dorințele.

You enter into an area with a cooking counter on the left with three possibly Turkish gentlemen ready to cook food. In that area are around seven tables, and a toilet. Go to the back of that area and round to the left is another seating area, quite spacious with perhaps another ten tables and a further toilet area. The restaurant appears clean. The food includes a range of starters including sausage, borek, lahmacun, and a range of main courses including doner, shish, meat with yoghurt. All menu items can be viewed on the restaurant website together with prices. Starters are around £5 and main courses around £13-16. I personally like it if in a Turkish restaurant the person taking the order speaks Turkish. Here unfortunately not, so couldn't practice my Turkish. The waitress was very knowledgeable and helpful. However the delivery of food leaves a lot to be desired. You get bread with dips, then some more sauces, presumably for the bread. The bread is lovely. In most restaurants you would then wait for the starters which would arrive together. Not at Melissa. One person's starter arrives with the bread and dips and the other person's starter arrives about five minutes later. No announcement "here is your starter" just put down by dips so you barely know it is the starter. When the other person's starter arrives, instead of the waitress doing what is done in most restaurants and wait until starters have been eaten, then clearing away starter plates and then bringing the main course, at Melissa whilst we eat the starter a salad arrives, which you are unsure what it is for, you then are told it is for the main course, the main course arrives whilst you are eating your starter, so you have the food sitting waiting whilst you eat. It is like ten year olds have taken over the restaurant, are doing their best, but haven't quite learnt it all. The food itself is very good in terms of portion size. Certainly generous. Certainly value for money. However my starter was something I have had in other places where it has been crispier and nicer. The kebab with rice is just the kebab and the rice, little effort to make it look nice, no sprig of parsley or something. The rice tastes bland. The meat is cooked nicely. You are offered sauces. The atmosphere is ok, nice videos, a music video on the wall, nice painting of Turkey with mosques and the sea. They don't offer desserts, they don't ask if you want coffee, they don't give a small baklava with the bill and the Turkish guys near the door barely open their mouths to say goodbye. The food is good value for money, the service strangely unprofessional and a lack of class that other Turkish restaurants often have.

Very nice authentic Turkish place

Been a few times now and will go again, good food, good prices, friendly staff

Warm welcome. Excellent food. Generous portions.

Pentru o comanda de £10...te face sa plătești £56.80... te fura pe față fata de la casa...apreciam Restaurantul Melisa Acum ma feresc de el...ATENȚIE Personal slab

Amazing food and attentive staff. All the food was fresh and so delicious. The complimentary bread and dips were so good too.

A delightful lunch. The wraps we ordered were gigantic, filled with delicious falafel/chicken shish. The taste was exceptional, thanks in part to the tasty sauces that added a burst of flavor to each bite. Service was impressively fast, and while waiting for our order, we enjoyed some freshly baked bread that was a pleasant and thoughtful touch. Melissa certainly knows how to make a meal memorable with their generous portions, flavorful ingredients, and efficient service. We'll be back for sure!" 🌯👨‍👩‍👧‍👦🍽️🏺

By far the best kebab in London! No drop in quality at least from 2016 since my addiction to this place started! The team is fantastic too. Thank you Melissa!

Food is great, always. Service could be significantly improved. Maybe it was just the person serving us, but she couldn't follow the order properly, brought water instead of a soft drink and then charged for that glass of water with the price of a soft drink and wouldn't budge when we spotted it on the bill, eventually refunded by another staff member.

Delicious food and big portions. Friendly staff.

Fabulous food and a great value

Best food , lovely and helpfull staff !!

Love this place! Service is great and the food is amazing 🩷

Food really good and really well priced.

Excellent food . Bright restaurant. Some upgrade need soon but well worth a trip

Amazing staff defo get the platter next time you come the wings are to die for also amazing venue cannons park

My favourite osakbasi restaurant featuring lovely, plentiful food, reasonably priced drinks and friendly service. Can be a bit noisy, but that's life.

We came here once again, because the food was so good last time, and we weren't disappointed this time. We tried the lunch menu this time and it filled us up very well. Food was as amazing as we expected. Will definitely be back when we are back in London.

Great food. Small delay on service atmosphere was alright.goof for veg options too!

A warm welcome can be had at this Turkish restaurant. The decor provides a great atmosphere which you would not realise if walking past. Excellent attentive service. The food is fresh and superbly cooked. Parking is on the street.

I keep on going back the food is lovely and worth the money. The staff are very professional n kind, polite

Great food but lack of English staff struggle to understand..

very good quality for service good personality

One of the best restaurants in the area and still going strong. The service and food are amazing alongside generous portions and perfectly done meat!

Always exceptional service and high quality meat and dishes whenever I visit here. The flavours are unique and the place is always busy. Sometimes there are ques and waiting times but that is normal due to the popularity of this restaurant. Its well worth the wait and visit. The wings, chicken shish and chips are always a must for me and the sauces are all homemade and delicious. Definitely recommend to others worth visiting

Great food, the Adana kofte is amazing and also their chilli sauce is very good, must try. Service is lovely too, fast and efficient

First time here tonight and was such a delight. The food (halal!!) was totally worth it - the portion is so so big per person, and the free Turkish tea was just the cherry on top. We were served by Mandeline (apologies if spelt incorrectly) and she was so very kind, all the other staff were so polite too. Best night out with family. Even the interior was beautiful and felt like home away from home. Highly highly recommend this place!!

Good tasty food , tender kebabs, reasonable prices. Staff is very polite and helpful.

My niece had a 50th birthday meal at the weekend on sat , with lots of family and friends who came from across London to join her to celebrate , my niece herself actually lives in Yorkshire and in the past she has always enjoyed your food so that’s why she chose yr restaurant to celebrate , And again on this occasion you didn’t disappoint , as always the food was lovely and service was great thank you . Sue

Order the platter for 2, and chips. I always have the chilli dip...😋

Well well well! Such a poor performance by Mellisa. Today I went after work to have a nice dinner and I was alone bcoz I came just after work. The girl toke my order (skendar kebab) and left then she came back with just sauce and 4 peach of small bread and humus. Where as usually they bring humus, garlic sauce salad and two more sauces. So I was waiting for my salad which didn’t turn up and my food came. So my understanding is that she thought oh this guy is alone just give him one source and that’s it. Reminder for Mellisa that I am always there with my partner spending at least £40 to £50 (worth mentioning that we always leave £5 to £10tip). I am very disappointed that they just look down on you bcoz they thought one person not gonna spend a lot of money so service should be minimum. By doing that they just lost a customer that go there every week. Recommendation for people going to Mellisa restaurant alone don’t go. I might rather spend my money somewhere else. Mellisa you just lost a valuable customer.

Attentive servers, great food and good portions.

This restaurant is incredible. The food was delicious and staff were very friendly. Worth every penny. Thanks all

Food and service were excellent

I went there with my family welcomed very polite staff was very Kind and helpful will be there again. I definitely recomend this place

Best Turkish food in London..the service was very good, the staff was very kind and polite. I will definitely come back again

The service is terrible! I was waiting for my order more than 30min and when I asked regarding my order but waiter was so rude, I was shocked. And few minutes later the waiters were so rude with other customer and they just physically attacked that customer and banned him. That's was awful scene ever. Shame on Melissa Restaurant. This Restaurant must be closed!!! Terrible! This Terrible event has happened 01-04-2023 between 7.30pm to 8.30pm. Never go there, they are dangerous. Bunch of criminals!

disgusting frozen fish they serve rip off

Great food at a good price. 10 of us ate for £180 including everything.

Currently I live just 1 min walk from this place, very fresh, tasty food and convenient for me to pick up food on the way to home from Cannons Park Tube station. Reasonable prices and good portion sizes This restaurant has seating space Also it is on different delivery sites

Got a mixed shish in all honesty this place is my regular turkish restaurant soo good. Lamb is soft and packed with flavour. Never disappoints

Walked in for a mixed shish takeaway. The Lamb shish tender, no ligaments, and lean. The Chicken shish tender and well cooked. Salad fresh. Pita bread and 2 sauces included. Service was quick and friendly. All meats spiced to perfection. Large portion. Cost was worth the quality and quantity. Shop right next to Cannons underground. Large charcoal kitchen. Recommended.

Excellent staff. The Romanian waiters are always professional, polite and very helpful. Food tastes very good. Great atmosphere. Met many friends there.

My husband and I were so amazed by the quality of food, price and the service. The customer service was exceptional! Would definitely recommend!

Just awesome! Not hard to figure why they're an award winning restaurant😋

Fantastic place and good food for the first time comes with my friends I will be back next time

This is more like a smart cafe than a formal restaurant with a family friendly ambience. When we were here, there were plenty of people with children around (Saturday 530pm). We got a max platter, which was always going to be more food than we needed for two adults and two children but would be perfect for four adults. The meats were excellent and we went for rice instead of chips which was good as an extra. Definitely very good value for money and the quality of the food is as good as many of the more upmarket Turkish restaurants in nearby areas.

Good quality food. Great service and nice location.

Ottimo cibo, gustoso e porzioni abbondanti.

Great restaurant. Staff is very polite, prices are honest and the food is amazing! Honestly, the lamb is one of the best I have ever eaten in my entire life. Well done!

Fantastic food and service. We are vegetarian and the selection is great. This place definitely deserves the awards.

Every one good thanks very much

Work party for 30. Brilliant service, brilliant food. Really happy with portion sizes. Loved it

Very delicious food and tasty the meat was so fresh and full of flavour I had a mixed Shish was so tender I was impressed highly recommend

Abdul and the Romanian Lady was amazing

Excellent food and very good staff

Went for a meal and we enjoyed the food very much, huge portion's and the service was good.

The atmosphere, decoration, staff and OMG the FOOD is absolutely fantastic.

I don't like, when I'm going to pay, she ask for extra money, that's is not nice, if I want to give extra money I will give, but don't ask to customers for extra money...

This is a good calibre Turkish restaurant, with delicious food and big portions, that is appropriately priced. Whenever I have eaten from here, I've never been disappointed. Today, I met a friend for a long overdue catch up. Our server Mada was absolutely amazing at recommending dishes to us (Grilled Sea Bream served with Salad). She even jazzed up our Baklava with chocolate sauce and made it an altogether wonderful experience. You won't be disappointed at this place and give Mada a high five! We went on a rainy Thursday evening, hence the 3 stars for atmosphere (not many people were out and about)...but this place is usually busy at weekends.
