Meze Mangal in Lewisham

Just had a takeaway from here and it was excellent. Great portion sizes and quite tasty. Definitely recommend.

Welcoming and very kind staff, cool atmosphere with delicious food. Everything tasted like it was made from fresh ingredients and all the food was very flavourful. Very reasonable prices and will definitely be coming back soon.

One of the best Turkish restaurants in London

Love it! Great food, never disappoints.

Nice place, great food, friendly people. Highly recommended.

Love it! Go whenever we're back south east!

Why everything soooo fresh!! Meat, vegetables and even bread! Every single dish was cooked so well and properly! Staffs are all friendly, patient and super nice! Highly recommend!

Beautiful food, so tasty & well presented! The service was amazing & the owner was welcoming & friendly! Would definitely recommend eating there & will go there again!

Tasty food good prices with a nice service recommend it

I had a takeaway Kebab.It was uncooked and tasteless.They also give me a huge wrap instead of meal and salad.Disappointing

Nice quality food friendly service.

I hate to say it but the quality of the food had gone down hill a bit (meat tough, tasteless, and everything drowning in oil), which is a shame because this place is a South London landmark and we've had lots of really lovely meals here over the years.

Brilliant place we go there quite often great food lovely staff would highly recomend

The appetizers, lahmacun and of course raki were legendary. Thanks

Service was fantastic! Friendly team they are at Meze Mangal. My family always enjoys our time there. Exquisite meal 😋 and very lovely place to chill, relax and enjoy your money's worth 😉

I've been there very briefly. Yet it didn't take long for me to leave very much impressed. The gentleman that was helping me out was happy to walk an extra mile to meet every expectation. Defo will be coming back!

Great Turkish food as always . excellent service . Thank you.

I recently dined at Meze Mangal Restaurant and had a fantastic experience. Here’s a quick summary: Ambiance and Atmosphere: The restaurant has a warm, cozy, and inviting atmosphere with stylish decor. It’s a perfect spot for both casual meals and special occasions. Food and Menu: The menu is diverse, offering a variety of Turkish and Mediterranean dishes. The meze platters are a great way to try different flavors. I especially enjoyed the mixed grill platter, which had deliciously marinated and perfectly grilled meats. Service: The staff are friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. They made excellent recommendations and ensured we had a pleasant dining experience. Value for Money: Prices are reasonable, and the portion sizes are generous. There are also set menus and specials that offer great deals. Overall Experience: Meze Mangal is a wonderful place to enjoy tasty Turkish cuisine in a welcoming setting. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a great dining experience.

Honestly I think Meze Mangal is one of the best Turkish restaurants south of the river. My family & I have been eating here regularly about 12-15 years ago. We then went and lived abroad over the past 15 years. We’re back in London for a month and in the Lewisham area. Tonight we remembered this restaurant and as we were driving close by we dropped in for dinner. The manger remembered us and greeted us warmly. Our dinner tonight reminded us once more of how good & tasty the food is at this restaurant. We will be back….. many more times inshallah….

Always welcoming staff and generous portions. Mixed starter platter and lamachun just two of the many highlights

Best Turkish resturant in the south east London , I would recommend the traditional Turkish cooking. Try them and tell us.

Excellent restaurant and very attentive staff. I only had a couple of starters that were absolutely delicious. I would gladly go back to try more. Thank you!

Have been coming here for years, food is still amazing.. especially the Lahmacun! Came recently with family, 15 of us and everyone was impressed. Had the katmer for dessert for the first time. It melted in my mouth. So lovely. And the owners are 5* entertained my youngest! Thank you and we will be back soon.

Grilled seabass was bland and too bony.

The best restaurant in London. Delicious food! Wonderful service, servers are very attentive both professional and friendly. Thank you very much Meze Mangal 👍🎊

Been years going there from time to time and every time a great pleasant experience. Well done to the family who run the business👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Our favourite Turkish takeout spot in Lewisham. Their hummus is so amazing it is silky, smooth and rich!

My favourite restaurant in London fantastic service, great food

The best, silkiest, creamiest hummus I have ever had!!!

Great food and service, was really happy with everything we ordered: lahmacun, liver and ribs. Also has a parking space in front, super convenient!

Went for my birthday after hearing about it for the best part of a decade. The food was phenomenal, the service great - they really looked after us. It's quite a big place though so unless it's packed out, it misses a bit of atmosphere. All in all fantastic.

Delicious kebabs, delicious humous.

It was really busy when we went.. we had good time and food was amazing.. yummy.. they need some little music on to get in that turkish atmosphere..

I found a very delicious Turkish restaurant on my way back from a trip to South London! The boss and chefs were very friendly and recommended delicious meals to us, allowing us to choose our meals directly next to the oven~ This time, the two of them chose two meals, grilled lamb + chicken skewers, and Turkish pizza. The portions were very generous, and two adult women couldn't finish them! The roasted lamb and chicken taste very fragrant, the meat is plump and chewy, and the side dishes on the side are very satisfying. After eating a whole plate, I still have a lot of aftertaste! The texture of the Turkish-style pizza is also very chewy, with a solid flour texture and a very satisfying feeling! It’s also a very recommended dish~ Overall, both the food and the atmosphere are excellent. I will visit again next time!

Run like a military operation exellent service and decor. Shame about the lighting and thick black mould all above the toilets. Hope I don't get sick from it. Also dangerous big screw sticking out of entrance door

Went for a Work Christmas meal and was pleasantly surprised. Good service and great tasting food. My only gripe is that it is a little on the expensive side for what you're getting. £19 for two kebabs a little salad is a bit excessive!

Very good food, people very friendly, parking available, definitely will recommend to my friends.

The food was very good. The service was a little lacklustre. The restaurant was empty when we arrived around 1630 so I thought it a little strange that they wanted the table back by 6. A few more tables were occupied but nowhere near full so a bit strange. The bathrooms downstairs are damp and cold with black mould growth on the ceilings. Not pleasant.

The food here is always great, as is the service. I have only been for lunch in the winter, as it is quite cold in there, hence the low atmosphere score. On a busy evening or during the summer, i am sure it would be a 3 x 5 score

The portions are big. The food is tastier than in Turkey. And the prices are good. I recommend you to try.

Amazing experience of Turkey. Blown away. Best meal in years.

This place use to be so good. Now they are serving off shish meat that absolutely stinks you can smell it’s off and still blaming the seasoning claiming that’s what it is. Off meat can cause food poisoning it’s not on!!! The lahmacun was tasteless. This place has gone down hill. I wouldn’t eat in that place again!!! Keep away!!!

We had our Xmas dinner party here.. great service and the food was amazing... Well cooked crispy, breads... Hummus, tzatziki dips were great but the tomato spicy salsa dip which our waiter recommended was out of this world...goes perfectly with all of our meals...starters and mains... Bread was yummy... Nice selection of desserts too... Regarding pricing... Perhaps I should have asked if there were packages for Xmas parties... Next time... Thank you. All very friendly and parking and the front of the restaurant... Bonus!

Shared meze was spot on. Attentive and friendly staff. Would definitely go back!.

It felt like going on holiday to Turkey...

Held a family function at this restaurant, they were attentive to all our guests, hot and tasty food came out in good time, the restaurant was clean warm and welcoming, the staff were professional and polite, We had a really nice evening and will for sure be revisiting this establishment in the near future.

Loved the mixed starter platter

There is absolutely nothing wrong with this family run restaurant, I am simply comparing it to other restaurants that are similar and I felt that it was only OK in comparison. It is fairly priced and a spacious and clean restaurant but I didn't finish my food and the selection of drinks was unimpressive (no cocktail menu).

South east Londonda özellikle pide ve lahmacunun en iyisi 💖

Great local restaurant, friendly and consistent. I mainly use it for takeaway so can't comment too much on atmosphere. Staff are helpful and friendly.

You will not eat better humus anywhere else on the planet. Their starter menu alone is a thing of beauty. The proprietors/staff are so onpoint, that if Gordon Ramsay came in to help, they'd teach him how it's done.

The restaurant was too cold. The food wasn't delicious but too oily. Grilled halloumi wasn't grilled but fried. The restaurant used to be good but unfortunately this time it was a let down.

The atmosphere inside is really relaxed and the waiting staff are quite friendly. Food is excellent and authentic Turkish as you would expect. Before you do order starters, make sure you'll have enough room for mains :D

Taken by my daughter, this was very good. Tasty food, generous portions, helpful staff.

Been going here for years and it’s 100% the best Turkish food in London (I’ve tried the ones on Green Lanes and Kingsland Road). Love the open BBQ cooking and the wood fired oven for bread and pizzas. Our favourite dish is the mixed mezze but the kebabs and Pides are also exceptional. Such lovely fresh food, generous portions and attentive service. Never lets us down.

The food was of a good quality and the waiting staff's communication skills, etiquette and politeness were perfect

The food was delicious, the waiting time was optimal, the staff members were friendly and professional.

We loved the vibe of the place and the atmosphere was perfect for a Friday night out.

The food is delicious. The staff is welcoming and nice. And the environment is beautiful. Highly recommend this restaurant, even if you aren’t Turkish.

This is the most amazing restaurant, the food is amazing and the staff are so friendly and attentive.

We live locally and love coming to Mez Mangal, the food is fantastic, portion sizes are very generous, so you won't be leaving hungry! The service is also great, and the wine equally good. We will certainly be back again soon :)

Visited this place for the first time yesterday. Awesome food, amazing friendly service and great atmosphere. I highly recommend 👌

Best Turkish restaurant. Always good food really large portions.

Excellent food and customer service. Thank you very much

Very rude and unprofessional staff. They are aggressive and ignorant. Never come back again. Shame..

Great restaurant and fabulous food, only downfall no kids menu

Very bad experience!! There are much better Turkish restaurants in the area with a much better hospitality better service and better quality of food. If you do not want to waste your money you have to avoid this place..

Great food, excellent service and kindness from the staff and owner! Highly recomend the lamb skewers.

I go there time to time for many years and food has high standards there I couldn’t choose below but I order liver every time. Service also really good option in South East London Also there is a car park in front of the restaurant

Lovely local gem. Delicious food and friendly service. Highly recommend.

İts obious wht it was the best Turkish and 7th of Londons Best !!! i just came from Turkey... could.help myself to eat all these delicious kebabs 🤣 as soon as You enter the scent charms You ! You feel the the enjoyment in Your brain before tasting it 🥰

Best of the best food love it thank you

Outstanding as always. Fantastic, family run restaurant serving south east London for decades. You know exactly what you are getting and quality of food remains the same. Don’t over order generous portions! We had a few starters and then lamb chops served with all sorts of salads. Lovely vibe and most importantly - the team behind it. Check up you are ok with everything without being over bearing. They give you honest reflections on your food and don’t try to get you to over order. Fab fresh tasting food. I’ve been going here nearly twenty years and will go again! And again!

Tasty healthy food. Authentic Turkish. Delightful service.

Great food, fantastic service, was there early so atmosphere was not there..

Food so tasty ,specially wood oven gives test to turkish pizzas. Service good ,atmosphere and staff so friendly.

Delicious food and good service. We had soup, Adana, pide and lahmacun. We’ll come back again. Thank you😊

Friendly, attentive service & excellent food. Generous helpings of authentic turkish food. A very good menu

Good food but disappointed you dont have garlic sauce.

Food was good, but eyewateringingly, outrageously expensive - especially for a restaurant in Deptford/lewisham. Cost over 75 pounds for 2 people - wont be able to go out for a while again

Brilliant place best Turkish restaurant

The staff was extremely helpful and attentive price of food was good value the salads and portions sizes was big enough Just for me I felt it lacked spice some of my food tasted smoked but lacked spices besides that I really enjoyed myself Would I go back? Yes

Large portions of delicious mediterranean food, lovely people too.

Very good service, the staff were very friendly and helpful

I have raved to my friends how wonderful the food here is and we decided to go. I has the kalamar which was sadly rather rubberey. My friends thoroughly enjoyed there starters, hummus and Hallumi. Decent sized portions too. For main I had cop shish along with my friend who asked for hers well done. Both meals were very well done and as I wanted mine 'normal' I wasn't impressed. As mine was very well done I couldn't eat it. When the server asked us if the food was ok I told him mine was over-cooked for my liking. We were given a small dessert wine, on the house. The portions were a good size but sadly, inedible to me. I have known to 2 brothers who own the restaurant for more years than I care to remember but sadly I will not be going back 😔

Great Turkish restaurant, the food is excellent

Really recommend. Quality always consistent and friendly service. One of the rare gems. Consistent. Always great be back.

Great place. Have been coming there for years. Some time ago they had a bit of drop in a quality, but I'm glad it was only temporary as food and service is top notch.

The Ms and i had a great lunch, will recommend for sure.

First time here really good food, excellent service

Authentic turkish , eastern Mediterranean food, reasonable prices, friendly staff. I visit for years, quality is always the same, even after expansion few years ago. Accessible to everyone, booking necessary especially for dinner. Very highly recommended. As good as ever few years after last review!

Love the food here. Very welcoming staff and great service.

Great place for family. Food tasted great and the portion was great. Would like if they could add garlic bread to their menu.

Rubbish everything it was first time for me and my friend going to this restaurant and the put in our bill £45 extra our order + £25 service charge I don't know I can't talk for the taste 🤮🤮🤮 the men who service to our table he was super rude 😔 anyway I am not happy to spend there £300+ for a Rubbish.....🤮🤮

My favourite Turkish resto in London and one of the best things about Lewisham. Been going since 2009 and never fails

Very nice tasting food with great service

I made an order online, waited for 45 minutes, then the deliver driver turned up at my door to explain to me that the restaurant didn't have the food. Be mindful when order from this restaurant as may not have the food to fulfil orders they receive and don't have the decency to let you know about it. First and clearly the last time I order food from this Restaurant.

Still top notch. Great food (lamb shish especially good) lovely wine and amazing service. Have never had a bad meal here and long may that continue:)

Last time I visited here was 5 years ago and a lot must of changed.I ordered chickhen and got massive chunks of chickhen with no marination and it was just dry and horrible. I asked for some garlic sauce to try and dress it myself and they didn’t have any,we ordered lamb shish and was chewy and pink inside.we sat right at the back next to where they have dirty plates hatch and every time they opened it I could smell bins. I wanted to throw up the whole time I was there.we ordered cold meze plate and it looked like something that was about to go in the bin,everything was mixed with eachother and looked sickening we didn’t even touch it.I would never visit again.

Can’t believe this is just around the corner from us! Very welcoming and attentive service. Sat near the bbq with all the amazing smells! Meat is super succulent and juicy! Worth the visit. We will definitely be coming back bringing all our friends.
