Meze Meze in Edinburgh, City of

Really excellent restaurant: I think this is my fourth visit. Really prompt service and friendly advice (reliable!) on how much to order. Delicious range of food. Thanks!

Probably the worst food I’ve ever had

The place is very friendly and welcoming by staff. The food is amazing and tasty. Make sure to book the table online.;) Come and experience that lovely restaurant one day!

Our server was lovely, the food however was awful , arrived within seconds of ordering & was tired , flavourless & no effort made. It was a struggle to eat it, and a real shame as we adore meze style food normally. We are locals but it just feels like they have stopped trying as their great location means they'll always get tourists.

Terrific food. I've never enjoyed falafel before I tried it here. And the service was so lovely and attentive. Also lovely cute interior and in the busy part of Edinburgh

Loved this place! Food was super fresh and good quality. I would definitely come back! Thank you.

Meze meze was a chance decision for dinner while visiting Edinburgh and omg so glad we made that decision! Friendly genuine welcome, curtious efficient service and absolutely outstanding delicious food. Fantastic dining experience to which we will definitely be back!

Excellent service. Coffee, music and drinks perfect. Food fantastic. Best falafel I’ve had for years, lovely aubergine dish, sublime Greek salad and fab Turkish sausages. Wish we’d have had time for a bigger meal. Gluten free well catered for too.

Everytime we visit Edinburgh we have to have lunch here. The Meze is amazing!

Wow this was amazing!! So fresh and delicious, extremely authentic and generous portions! So amazing I will be thinking of this meal for a long time!

Centrally located, vegan food options are available. Fees are average.

Amazing Mediterranean cuisine served with a smile from the attentive staff! Come here all the time for special occasions, would highly recommend!

I can't express the sheer amazement of this restaurant. The food, the music, the cocktails, the staff!!! Solo valentines date and wow the experience was utterly amazing!! Food was super tasty and fresh, baklava almost put me into a happy food coma! Shout out to the best cosmopolitan in Edinburgh! Such phenomenal value for money! Already can't wait to come back! X

Superb restaurant with a delicious selection of large meals and small plates. There's a large variety of vegetarian options which was greatly appreciated. The food is very fresh and tasty. Will definitely be back and would highly recommend. Its in an ideal location in the centre of the city.

This place is amazing and a must! We stopped in on a whim and really enjoyed our meal. Everything was fresh and tasted really good. It was the best tzatziki we’ve ever had and everything else we got was great too. The staff was so nice and service was wonderful.

Superb freshly prepared and cooked food. Excellent friendly service. The gluten-free free menu is highly recommended. We will definitely be returning.

Excellent food and very friendly helpful staff in a very relaxed atmosphere. Leave space for a portion of Baclava. It's absolutely fabulous

I was visiting Edinburgh for my partners birthday and decided to go there for dinner. The food was so authentic, large portion and amazing presentation. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. They heard that my partner was vegan and suggested more options (definitely recommended for vegans, is a must try). Made the birthday experience exceptional and couldn’t imagine better.

Great food really friendly and helpful staff. Food was that good we ate there both nights. Baklava is a must for desert. Thanks to you all.

Came here for New Year’s Eve and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better meal or place to visit. Lovely staff and the food was unbelievable.

Been here many times and ive never been disappointed with the food or the service! Great place for small sharing plates.

The food was delicious and fresh! We particularly liked the dips (that came with tasty warm bread), the patatas bravas and the falafel! Not to mention the fresh mint tea and baklava which we had after and were blown away by. Service was fantastic and there was a lively atmosphere, would 100% recommend.

Food was delicious and service was nice too. Ambience could have been more soothing with better lights and ventilation downstairs.

Nice little restaurant, ordered several smaller dishes, super tasty, small oven was provided because we were freezing. Really recommended.

Very tasty and cozy, nice service. The food came quickly and was extremely tasty.

Kebab takeaway quality and quantities at £30 a head

Terrible. Did not even wait to get seated and left the restaurant.

Such an authentic and little family run business. The Tzatziki is like NOTHING I’ve ever had before, hands down the BEST tzatziki ever. The portions are really worth the prices and the staff are super lovely and friendly. They kindly took us both in when they were fully booked and the cocktails are super strong. Such a lovely little restaurant, easily the best Mediterranean in town!

Great accidental find with lovely food and perfect service, very accommodating to gluten free requirements. Large portions and a good selection of hot and cold dishes, would come again.

My friend and I ordered Burger Mediterranean, lamb casserole and Borek. We are happy with the food really tasty we highly recommend the burger!

Went to this place a while back and it was lovely. Great food and a real homely feel. Not now.....food was awful....calamari seemed open cooked from frozen, crispy chicken wings were far from crispy and every tapas dish was loaded with iceberg lettuce. Poor quality. And very noisy!

Amazing food and atmosphere, honestly a must visit in Edinburgh. Food was authentic and full of flavour, great portions. Service was exceptional, Abhi our server went above and beyond to make our birthday feel special. Attentive, asked for allergies and offered plenty veggy options. Will be back.

They guided the baby stroller down a narrow staircase to the bottom floor. The only halal meat option is meatballs. The attention of the staff was normal. The meatballs were good but the rice was bad. The fries were a complete disappointment. Lentil soup was okay. Since you haven't tried their other dishes, I can't comment.

Fabulous small Mediterranean restaurant serving wonderful selection of food. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. We dropped in without pre booking but they quickly found a table for the two of us. Would definitely recommend to others and we will certainly be back, but might book the next time!

If you haven't been here you need to go, ate there last night ,service and food coming out was quick, we tried gyros, asparagus and arancini all dishes were very tasty, staff were all polite ans welcoming , would definitely go back.

Had a nice meal. Good food and sizeable portions at good price. Small table though and a little cramped. Friendly helpful staff.

Absolutely amazing food! 10 out of 10! Friendly staff and cozy environment. Will definitely go back in the future!

Tasty, recommend the greek herb yogurt dishes. Service was very fast, and happy they managed to fit us in on a busy Friday night.

Really great place! Delicious food, a good choice of drinks, and unexpected banter made for a perfect dinner experience. Make sure you book so you’re not disappointed!

Really nice food and place. All recommendations for a visit. I

I have never eaten such delicious appetizers in Turkey, the hospitality, the taste, everything is very nice. I definitely recommend

Lovely food, always happy to go back

Amazing array of beautiful delicious health food and catered well for my dairy and gluten intolerance. Great service too.

Mezemeze offers an authentic Turkish experience with dishes that are clearly made with love and skill. Highly recommended for anyone craving quality Turkish cuisine and a warm, friendly dining experience!

Excellent food The Limoncello Sunrise cocktail was superb 👌

During our stay in Edinburg it was difficult to find healthy options. Meze meze was one of the few places where we found a variety of options and very well seasoned ones! Meals with vibrant colors, fresh vegetables well prepared and tasty. The service was excellent, they always made sure that we didn't miss anything. They have been really nice to us. Recommendation: All dishes come with a salad so there is no need to order more! . I definitely recommend this place

A hidden gem only a short walk from Princes Street. Meze Meze has a comprehensive menu offering small plates and main meals. Portions were generous and staff very friendly, the Baba Ganoush with warm, toasted pitta & the Greek salad were delicious.

Fabulous food and atmosphere, with friendly staff. I called to bring our booking forward which they were able to accommodate. They helped a less able member of our group with the steps (3 in total). We chose a selection of meze dishes: lamb with hummus and the baba ganoush were superb all dishes were good. One member of our party can’t eat cheese so they serve the feta for the Greek salad separately. One of the nicest meals we’ve had in ages

Very popular, deservedly so, great food, very attentive and friendly staff,

L'endroit est très sympa (notamment avec des affiches rétros en plusieurs langues) et la nourriture est généreuse et bonne. Ce fut un très agréable moment passé à déjeuner ( le personnel est très gentil et le service plutôt rapide) juste avant de prendre l'avion du retour

Really not great. The value for money is no better than 2 stars. The same goes for wine. And the service is falsely friendly, to try to push you to consume.

Central restaurant on Rose Street, with Mediterranean cuisine ranging from Greek, Italian, Turkish and North African. Very generous portions.

Fantastic food, portion sizes were very generous. Service was friendly and fairly quick. Worth a visit for sure!

The host was very friendly and recommended several excellent dishes. Recommended to everyone who likes Lebanese cuisine, well done!

Excellent food. Salads of Olive is heavenly

Visiting from Dundee for a day out in Edinburgh, we came across Meze Meze on Rose Street and decided to give it a try. Service was efficient and food was of high quality.

Quiet idyllic setting with courteous staff and lovely food, Nice warm comfortable rooms.

Ordered tzatziki and hummus for starters which was nice alongside the fresh bread however the mains were terrible. I ordered chicken shish and I got 4 skewers of chicken which were over cooked, no flavour and rubbery. The presentation was a mess, tons of vegetables, fruit and cold salad which didn’t go! The whole thing was covered in chili and brown sauce which made the meal taste worse. It was served with what I think is rice. Overall the worst £60 pounds I’ve ever spent.

It's a great place.. I recommend it to Turkish friends and everyone who misses their homeland, come and eat and be well fed 😂

Chinese stomach friendly restaurants Chinese people don’t lie to Chinese people 👍 The grilled chicken skewers were absolutely delicious, and the lamb leg was equally amazing. The ambiance of the place was also very pleasant, making it a great dining experience overall. Highly recommend!

First class food, great and friendly service. Would highly recommend.

Place has heart, friendly staff, cozy place, hefty portions you will leave stuffed :)

Surprise since we entered without any reference and the food was magnificent, the only problem was that they made us wait a long time to serve us the food but the rest was perfect

Very good experience. The waiter is very friendly and helpful. The place is very nice and clean. The service is fast.

I stumbled upon this restaurant by chance, and it turned out to be, in my opinion, the best dining experience in Edinburgh. The staff, especially the lovely young women at the venue, were incredibly friendly and welcoming. They made sure I was well taken care of and recommended a baked salmon dish served with rice and salad. The quality of the food was exceptional, with every ingredient perfectly prepared. I savored each bite and couldn’t stop until my plate was clean, despite the generous portions. As a Londoner myself; honestly, I’m surprised this place isn’t packed because this was hands down the best dish I’ve had in the UK.

Meze & foods delicious and fresh I recommend to meze lovers to visit this restaurant.

The four hot meze we had were all delicious.

Great dinner with my mum. We tried a lot of dishes and I would definitely reccomend the Baba Ganoush. We enjoyed every single bite! The waiters were really kind. I'll be back for sure

Delicious food, good service and nice atmosphere.

Friendly and cozy atmosphere. Great food 👌🏾

Super delicious! Absolute recommendation! You don't think so at first, but everything fits together perfectly.

Food was so lovely, tasty and fresh. Service was lovely and friendly with a good knowledge of dishes. 10/10 would recommend to a friend.

Authentic and delicious. Amazing variety on the menu promptly delivered. Good food and friendly service. Will visit again

Great service, cute little place, excellent food. We had 6 different dishes and they were all better than the next one, lentil soup, hummus, greek salad, potatoes, falafel, halloumi pastry, pita... We all loved it.

Fresh and delicious food, quick service, good location and very friendly Turkish owner. We had a terrace seat as the restaurant was fully booked inside. A bit expensive, we paid about £124,- for a full mezze table, but definitely worth to pay Tesekkur ederiz :)

Great range of dishes to choose from - good portions and lovely flavours.

We like Mediterranean food and have been to a number of places all over the UK, but this one has been head and shoulders above the rest so far. The quality, flavours and choices of food are excellent. Well recommended

This is a restaurant in Edinburgh

This place was amazing! Service was great. Food to die for! The workers were very nice and attentive! 🩵

Meze meze# best restaurant in Edinburgh. Delicious food ,reasonable price ,friendly stuff Highly recommended..

Excellent service and the food was delicious. Would recommend booking as it gets very busy.

The food was awful! The reviews are misleading. Not close to Turkish or Middle Eastern food. For Halal food seekers, you only have limited option of frozen Kofta and Calamari. They do have Falafel, but it is far from the Falafel served on authentic Turkish and middle eastern resturants.

Abhi was the best waiter and we had a great experience with some of the best Mediterranean food! We’ll come agian yum! This was a spectacular, mind numbing, backshoting, delish, and explosive rambunctious meal.

The dips were very nice! The portions are good too. I recommend the hummus and baba ganoush. I did not like the lentil soup too much but if you enjoy a tomato-y soup, then it’s for you.

Great food quality, healthy, very good All this for a reasonable price Definitely recommend

The food was excellent, the staff super friendly. I highly recommend Meze Meze.

Delicious food and great service

The food is delicious. The type of food is Turkish. Their meat tastes amazing and delicious. We ordered chicken shish tawook and a bitter meat burger (kofta). They taste amazing. We ordered very ordinary fattoush and unacceptable hummus, and they serve you fresh bread with it. The place is very small. The tables are close together and the level of cleanliness is good. The staff is friendly. And good luck. Its prices are average for Scotland and its location is nice. When we entered the restaurant, we were told that the network is down, so the account is in cash and there is an ATM nearby.

Great place. Ignore the bad reviews. Just bear in mind that portions are decent sized and the recommended 3-4 dishes per person might be too much.

I have to say I agree with a previous review. This was the worst meal we had and the most expensive during our stay in Edinburgh. Uncomfortable seating and sitting next to an air conditioning unit blowing over me I felt cold. Food was luke warm and made colder from the aircon unit. Didn’t help every food item was served on top of lots of cold salad. Didn’t feel service was that attentive. Overall sadly a disappointing meal for me.

Fabulous service, delicious food, generous portions. The space is a little crowded.

Very good service and lovely staff. The food was good and large portions but and there is a but we thought it was expensive. Don't get me wrong, it's very central and in a good spot, so they may have high rates, but we are from London and understand high prices but try them and see what you think 🤔

I'm not sure what to say, I usually don't review restaurants but this place was so terrible I had no choice but to warn other people, do not go there. The food is unbelievably bad that no one finished their dish, I think this was the worst meal I've had in the past 5 years minimum, we ordered the lamb shank, the duck, the kofte and all was horrible. I'm not talking about the price and I'm not talking about service, I'm talking about taste and cooking, the worst I've been to for as long as I can remember. And I sometimes don't mind a mediocre meal if it's cheap because u know, you get what you pay for, but this was expensive, the bill was almost £200!!! We could have gone to lots of nicer places with that. Anyway don't go, it's horrible

Food is not of any quality and at very exaggerated prices

Very nice food, lots of gluten free options, including bread - anything on the menu that comes with pitta, they can sub in GF bread. Friendly staff.

we ate the chicken skewer, the halloumi burger and grilled aubergine, it was delicious and a lot. very full afterwards. the service was also very good.

Delicious food, good price and located on a quaint little street that’s great for people watching. Didn’t skip on veggies, most plates came on a bed of lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers and bell peppers. Would come back!

Highly recommend Meze Meze!! Food is absolutely amazing, fresh, good quantities and very tasty. Location is perfect for watching the world go by, and the service was excellent!

stoped here only for deserts.. Feels like family restaurant that screaming for Angry Ramsey to help them to make business better! I think hygiene is not strongest side for this very small restaurant as very no- welcome feeling service. I shouldn’t recommend you to stop over here even if you keen for some middle-east dinner.. Go to Mussle in that is next door!

It's a nice small restaurant, food is superb but service and atmosphere could be better. We ordered an extra pitta but unfortunately this took 15 minutes to come out to the table and the staff obviously forgot as they kept asking if we had finished. I'd recommend pre booking, it's a very busy place.
