Meze Mazis in Wandsworth

I was tired of buttery heavy dishes and Asian spices when I found this place. As all others recommended, the place was clean and service was nice. And the dishes were all just as I wanted:with great taste but never greasy and not too salty.

I hadn't come across this restaurant before as it is a little outside the main Balham restaurant area. I thought the food was excellent and I'll return again.

Love this hidden place. I’ve been coming for years now. Owner is a gem and food is lovely. A firm favourite in Balham.

My friend had a baby shower in the space downstairs. Really nice cosy place. Service was great and food was nice, would recommend 👌

ALLERGY EXPERIENCE: Awful experience as my friend has a nut allergy and chose the halloumi dish. This had no mention of nuts on the menu, even thought it came with pesto on it. We were not asked when ordering if we had any allergies. My friend then had an allergy attack and we had to leave. They also made us pay for our meal despite us being there for a very short amount of time and having to rush out. Would not recommend going here at all, extremely disappointed and careless!

Food was very nice but doesn’t seem to attract loads of guests so has a very empty feel inside

This place was highly recommended to me, and it did not disappoint. The food was delicious and very reasonably priced! Family run and family friendly, we will be back!

Little Meze restaurant, really tasty starters and big portions for the grilled, the meat was so tender and delicious! Highly recommended, also good price for London

Great food. Great. Service. Large portion sizes. Really can’t fault. Would definitely recommend. Meat was very tender and not dry which you can sometimes get. Beetroot dip on the Meze journey was delicious.

Probably the best Meze around Balham. I recommand both eat-in thanks to their friendly staff or takeway as they are really quick to prepare your food.

Must try!! This is our absolute favourite local, family owned place. Such a great hidden gem, which me and my partner love so much. Just off the busy road this place is so welcoming and the food never disappoint. The lamb cutlets is to die for and they even stock my favourite red, Primitivo. Worth mentioning Enrik who always makes us feel welcomed and looks after us. Thank you so much for all the lovely food and talk. You know we will be back. ;)

Three of us had lunch here yesterday, which was a Sunday and I expected to see this place buzzing. We were the only people there! Come on Balhamites, get with this and you will not be disappointed . Nice menu and wine list. We had three cold meze starters and then pork and apricot shish and lamb kofte. And some yummy desserts too. All excellent. Friendly service too. This restaurant deserves our support, so get down to Bedford Hill and starting eating some great food.

pricey, unfriendly, noisy. Don’t know why it’s rated so highly

This place was highly recommended to me, and it did not disappoint. The food was delicious and very reasonably priced! Family run and family friendly, we will be back! It's a great hidden gem in Balham.

Lovely place, clean and nice. Food was great with adequate prices, service was quick and helpful. Looks like run by a family. Well done

Ótima comida, bom atendimento, lugar bem agradável para ir com a familia

We had a lovely time. Very tasty, service was good. 👍 We will definitely visit here again.

Very tasty food with friendly staff. Nice atmosphere. Will definitely be going back..

A good location just behind Balham station this small but friendly restaurant has accommodate a small group of us. The service was great but we have felt that the dishes needed more seasoning as there were blant, but also my grilled salmon was well overcooked which it was a disappointment.

A lovely restaurant near Balham, a modern layout for a traditional meze - Mediterranean cuisine! The menu is complete of everything you would expect from a meze restaurant and the prices are within the standards which is nice! We had a mixed grill to share which was DELICIOUS!! I was not expecting something like that and it definitely made my evening very pleasant! Really recommended :)

Great meal, drink and service. Pity Covid has killed the industry as there were only two tables for the evening. Very reasonably priced and will be returning

Great atmosphere, great food & great service

Delicious food and nice staff. Highly recommended. :)

Lovely food and atmosphere. Will go again when back in Balham.

Had the Mezze platter for two & babaganoush. Perfect portion size for two people and the pita bread was lovely and warm and fresh. Everything was delicious! The service was great too! We’d highly recommend!

Hidden gem in Balham! Calamari, Mediterranean pasta, and lamb cutlets were all delicious - super fresh, well seasoned, and very reasonably priced! The service was also top-notch, served by a very friendly gentleman. Happy to have found a new local 😀

Went in here for a spur of the moment dinner on the way to the shops and it was a fantastic decision. The halloumi was amazing and it was nice to sit out the front with fast and friendly service!

The mixed grill is decent here. However, not a 5-star because the lamb shish wrap is filled with tons of chips (cheaper obviously) and not enough lamb/salad. Pasha Mangal does a much better lamb shish wrap which is perfect with just warp + lamb + salad. Please remove the chips from the lamb wrap, if people want chips they can order chips separately.

Excellent service at this cute local restaurant! It had a nice ambiance to it and we enjoyed the dim lighting. I shared the Mixed Grill with someone else and felt that was a perfect portion for two. The meat on the platter was SO juicy and tasty- would highly recommend this platter! The sea bass on the other hand was not so enjoyable as it came as a full fish without much seasoning or taste to it.

We had an incredible experience. The service was outstanding, very friendly and kind staff. The food was delicious, very very tasty and good portions. Definitely going back there and I highly recommend.

The food was amazing and very flavourful

Very friendly service and lovely food. Nice cocktails too to start the evening.

Always so impressed with this place. Staff are always so warm and friendly. Food is faultless - fresh and super delicious. Looking forward to my next visit!

Loved this place! Delicious food, really reasonably priced and friendly staff. Will Certainly be going back again, a nice find!

Amazing food and great service!! Will defo be going back :-)

If you're looking for somewhere to go in Balham, look no further. I booked for a Sunday evening which was nice and quiet, a great atmosphere for a date or quiet catch up, the family run service and kitchen giving a refreshing alternative to more hectic local eateries. The food was excellent, such good value for money. I had the Drunken Calamari to start and Duck and Apricot Shish for my main, both were super delicious, the highlight being the grilled apricots... When paired with the duck it was so nicely balanced and I'm not usually someone who likes fruit with savory flavours. We shared the Baklava to end, super decadent and luxurious, the only negative was that I didn't have the whole plate to myself! I would definitely eat here again and thoroughly recommend it to anyone who hasn't been yet.

We had a lovely time over there. The food was delicious, the service very friendly and the place really spotless. And on top of that, the final bill was more than affordable. I can only recommend.

We ordered a takeaway from Meze Mazi tonight and were really impressed. Very fresh, flavourful food with lots of options for veggies. Highly recommend the ‘mezze platter’ for the delicious selection of dips. Wish we’d ordered from here before now and will definitely be ordering again very soon!

Order takeaway from here quite regularly always happy with quality and taste.

Had the mixed grill for one. Everything was so tasty and perfectly cooked. Was ready for pick up in 10 minutes. The meat was well seasoned and it came with an awesome tomato/salsa dip. Could have drank the sauce it was that good!

Good service, good food, friendly staff and the best carrot cake I've eaten. Would definitely recommend.

Food was top noch. Very tasty and great service

It's really one of those restaurants that is worth tο visit if you live or if you visit London. Small, warm and spotless. The staff friendly and polite. As for the food it is delicious!!! Mediterranean flavours, the ingredients so fresh and the portions generous. I highly recommend it!!!!

Great place off the Balham high street. Always wanted to go and finally made it and will definitely be back. The food was fresh and very delicious. We’ve ordered mixed grilled for two and and hummus and beetroot dip starters and all were prepared and cooked to high standard! Definitely recommend to anyone who loves kebabs and Mediterranean cuisine.

Delicious food, great takeaway wraps for lunch and very good value. Have been many times

Delicious. Mixed grill amazing. Borek amazing. Baklava amazing. Turkish coffee amazing.

Great food and service! Lovely safe space to spend an evening

We bumped into this very cute and a bit off-road Greek/Mediterranean tavern on the area, and given the reviews we promised to each other we would pay a visit very soon. I rarely found such great, fresh and authentic food and here you can have all of this, plus a great variety of choices. Booking online system works perfectly. The staff is excellent and very attentive. Also note they have a good waiter /table ratio so definitely will serve everything on time and the orders are spot on. Family friendly restaurant as they have high chairs for kids. The price is absolutely reasonable for the quality of meals you will be served, try the mix grill as this will blow your mind. They also serve a really enjoyable mint tea.

Absolutely incredible meal this evening! The mixed mezze was incredible and we had the most wonderful baklava. Excellent service and we will definitely be back soon! Thank you so much

Very nice Mediterranean food and service.

Fabulous restaurant. Wide range of food options on the menu. Great staff. The salmon kebabs and mixed grill were delicious. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Came here on Wednesday. The food and service were out of this world. We had the calamari and hummus for starters, then the halloumi shush and the chicken shish for mains. I couldn’t recommend more highly. Enrik was a gentleman from start to finish. If I could give 6 stars I would. I’ll definitely be back.

Great food with a varied selection on the menu. Average prices and super friendly staff. Always a pleasure to dine in.

The staff's here are all polite. Salmon kebab is delicious.

Falafel wrap is delicious, portions are very big so I can only ever have half with some chips. For the price it is worth it as I have 2 meals from it

Great service and great food. Recommend the mixed grill

Very nice meal!! Attentive waiter and good atmosphere.

Decent, if not anything special. Ate here last week, but have visited before and would go back again. Good menu selection, friendly staff, reasonable prices, and food is not bad.

Questo posto é veramente stupendo, ho notato che hanno prestato molta attenzione alla pulizia visto che brillava tutto e il servizio a tavola è stato uno dei migliori che ho ricevuto. Oltre questo, ovviamente, parliamo del cibo, molto buono e raccomando tutti di passarci se siete da quelle parti.

Food was very nice all courses willbe going again

Excellent service! And the food was good as well. The staff were super attentive and made an effort to get to know you. Will definitely go back!

Fabulous food, great atmosphere, good prices

Great food, super friendly staff. Served quickly

Warm and welcoming environment with a fantastic family-run feel. The staff were charming and attentive. A wide range of meal options and the waiter even recommended sharing platters (which we overlooked) that saved us money. All of the food came out in great time, and considerable portion sizes.

Really great service, great food, great price! The lamb was 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

We stumbled across this local restaurant which is just around the corner from us! Can’t believe we’ve never tried it before! We had a wonderful service and enjoyed some delicious wraps, with a lovely side salad and chips. Delicious Efes beer and home made Baklava, it was scrumptious! The staff were really friendly and accommodating. We will definitely be back again!

Love this place. Very accommodating and the food is amazing.

I have ordered mixed grill and meze plate quality of both was absolutely terrible.Meat was dry and meze plate dips were not fresh.Wouldnt order from this place ever again.

Went there yesterday with my partner Really enjoyed the food Greag service The lady and man working were very nice The food was amazing the borek is very nice and so was the wings alongside the chickenshish will deffo be coming back x

Absolutely delicious food, not a single thing to complain about. Tasted very authentic for Greek/Turkish food. Very nice atmosphere and friendly attentive staff. Definitely recommend the sharing meze for starters and the lamb kebab. Will be back when possible!

The smile they greet you with (at least one of the staff members there was doing it), the flexible and friendly attitude, the quality of the food, the presentation, portion size/price etc. The 5th star is missing simply because the 2nd staff projected an unfriendly vibe.

Lots of potential, Shame a few things let it down. Lamb was amazing, very tender and full of flavour. Duck was VERY dry and tough and had very little taste (apart from the apricots). You shouldn't serve this level of food. I had invited a guest and they commented I tried some and it was embarrassing. I ended up offered some of my lamb to them. Desert was cheap microwaved chocolate pudding with cheap ice cream. The cake base was almost rubbery in texture. As a dish that should finish off the meal, invest in some decent quality food. Also nobody likes ice texture in ice cream. I don't know what causes this (old ice cream, poor freezing, cheap ice cream?) but it's not good, it's it? Music was piercing at one point with a hollow and tinny sound dominating the room. A decent quality sound would not need to be pumped so loud. At one point I actually felt the beat through the floor, that's too much! Service was generally ok, it wasn't too busy though. Service felt at times a little artificial, with canned responses, 'great choices', etc. Some authenticity and humility might not go amiss. Also, when waiting to pay we had to wait ages despite the place being almost empty. When we did eventually ask for the bill, the server chose to clear a table first (there were loads of empty prepared tables). If this is an independent restaurant I hope it receives the feedback positively and makes a few easy changes and succeeds. I'd certainly like to provide an updated positive review at some point...

Good service and food, definite recommend

Ein sehr schönes Lokal der etwas gehobeneren Klasse, bei trotzdem moderaten Preisen. Sehr aufmerksamer Service und geschmackvolle Tischeindeckung.

Service was great! Mains came straight after starters and the food was amazing! Definitely recommend. Would also advise booking in advance as there aren’t many tables, and 80% of the tables were already reserved.

Excellent dining experience and highly recommended. Will defo see myself back

Fantastic service by staff, food servings very good and quality of food is amazing. Highly recommend and will be visiting again.

Fab range of food. Lovely food and food we hadn't tried before. Lovely little restaurant! Our waiter was lovely also!

Will definitely go there again.

Accommodated us at very short notice on the lower ground area which we asked for. Had really good time. Starter meze and dessert was very nicely cooked and served.

Poor food Poor service Expensive price

Top class food and friendly service!

My first order from Meze Mazis I had a takeaway of meze plater and chicken shish. It was perfect and delicious!! Thank you mmm!

Food was beautifully laid out and tasted amazing. Great service from the guys there and also a lovely looking restaurant. Would recommend 100%

Visited with family for dinner last weekend. Food was absolutely fantastic, atmosphere great and service excellent. Highly recommend, and will definitely be returning!

Solid meze food. The two person sharing platter gives you a pretty thorough cross section of the meze menu. It's large, too - add one main, and it's equivalent in size to a two person, two course meal. Possibly safer to stick to the classics - the duck & apricot shish was OK, but the kofte and sausages (as part of the platter) were excellent.

We came to Meze Mazis on a whim whilst on a short break, having never had Mediterranean food before. The experience was amazing! Food was outstanding and the service was excellent such that we would be willing to travel the couple of hundred miles from our home town to eat here again!

Sea bass was delicious and the salad wonderful. Reasonable price with a free glass of wine. Attentive waiter.

Very nice salad but wish they had some sort of deal for a salad as they do with the wraps. Definitely something to think about with all the regular gym goers on Bedford Hill!

Food, drink and service was excellent

Really enjoyed the restaurant. The staff were incredibly friendly and very efficient. Food was delicious.

Great service and good food here.

This place is great, the food is delicious and the staff are friendly and very attentive. I really like the restaurant ambiance and if it’s nice weather sitting outside is a great option, have been a few times and will be going again

Wonderful place. Really super food would thoroughly recommend

Fantastic food, amazing service, and super lovely place

Great family run restaurant! We have just discovered this hidden gem in Balham, and we are absolutely in love with it! The food was amazing, the service was impeccable and really really friendly. Very good quality for value. I am already looking forward to coming back soon! Thanks!!!!!

Excellent time here, food is delicious, service outstanding.Enrik is a first class Host, very friendly nice guy.

Nice, authentic, family-run place. Had a lunch there today and looking forward to trying it out for dinner another time.

Great food, great service, you really can't go wrong.

Fabulous food great family most enjoyable
