Meze Meze in Edinburgh, City of

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.

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

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

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

This is a restaurant in Edinburgh

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.

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!

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.

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.

I am a lover of Greek food and except for the adaptation to Scottish food of making everything spicy, there are very delicious dishes such as falafel (without the disjointed spicy sauce), pita bread and calamari. And for dessert, the delicious baklava. The plates are not big, rather small. The high price compared to Spain and quantity. Great service and atmosphere.

Chill vibe, great service, lovely food, the ezme was maybe a little bit too garlicy, but amazing otherwise.

Fantastic food and excellent service. Highly recommended.

Nous avons prit plusieurs plats à partager c’est très bon et complet pour un dîner !! 😊 Très bon service. Terrasse très agréable 😎

High quality food that tasted authentic. The service was fantastic. Make a reservation in advance because the place gets busy. I had the lentil soup, dolma, and chicken skewers plate. Everything was delicious. The menu says to order 3-4 plates per person. I assume this means for the mezes because we ordered 2 mezes and 1 speciality plate and it was a lot of food, so needless to say the portions were good. I would definitely recommend this place.

There were six of us and we got really good food, it was freshly prepared, the vegetables were crunchy, a large portion, well seasoned, a change from the less shortened English food The service was attentive and funny at the same time Recommended, even if you're sitting in the basement :-)

Take their advice and have the olives as a starter, unless you loathe olives. My wife was not a fan of olives and still ate a few of the light green ones.

Food very very tasty. Service can be expanded. The boss is rather grim and doesn't say a word too much. Definitely a recommendation because of the delicious food.

The taste of home away from home. If you’re craving authentic Middle-Eastern cuisine, this is the spot to be at. Everything was so yummy and authentically prepared. We ordered the Mezze Mezze feast and indulged in stuffing our faces with tasty mezzes, main courses and even took some home for later. Jamal, the chef, along with Alice and Abhi, our servers, were incredibly helpful and super hospitable. We’ll be coming here again!

Food was fantastic. We eat a lot of Mediterranean style food and loved every dish. The lamb in the tomato sauce was the star of the show! I’d go back to Edinburgh just to eat here. Staff was fun and super helpful! 10 out of 10!!!!

My friend and I ate there two days in a row and ordered different dishes both times. Everything was delicious, we liked the atmosphere with the music and the service was very friendly and funny. I can't understand most of the negative comments and would recommend the restaurant to any of my friends.

The portions are huge! Quality food is very low! Staff not friendly at all. Would definitely not recommend! They offer really low standards.

Very tasty, amazing staff and very generous portions!!

Very good value and large portions of excellent dishes.

Everything i had was quite delicious. The place is very small but nice atmosphere.

Very tasty food at the heart of Edinburgh. However, on my second visit (02/05/2024) I was told there aren't any tables available. A couple walked in right after my partner and myself and they were offered a table. Pretty sure they were a walk in customers as ourselves. Very disappointing experience.

Back again in one of my favourite spots in the center of Edinburgh, amazing price quality with a lot of vegetarian options, and great staff. This time I choose the new dishes in the menu, my favourite the grill goat cheese with apricot jam and grilled veggies.

Lovely service and wonderful food for a fair price

Good tasting, healthy food with great service.

Amazing food and the service was incredible. My family and I had the best time ending our trip to Edinburgh here. We stopped in at the last second and would recommend to anyone!

Food came quickly, fresh & good portion sizes.

Very varied and complete menu. Gluten free dishes and attention to intolerances. Small place but very very nice and well looked after. Overall a place to have a quick lunch without spending too much money located in the city center.

asla pişman olmayacaksınız. Kızartma, patlıcanlı her şey harika. Sahibi de Türk ve çok samimi. Acayip ilgilendi bizlerle Everything is delicious 📌

Randomly found this place whilst exploring Edinburgh, no reservation, but they still accommodated us. Great staff, friendly and quick to bring our drinks once we ordered. The menu looked great. We did not expect it to be as amazing as it was. Seriously blown away by the food, the hummus, tagine, olives, arracini, falafel, and calamari tasted so fresh and delicious. It looked like a lot to eat, but it wasn't heavy. Highly recommend and would visit again if we were staying in Edinburgh longer.

Excellent selection of meze for sharing, we ordered 8 plates plus pita for four of us, was just right. Nice wine too!

Had a very enjoyable and relaxed lunch here. We had no plans of what we would do and weren't even sure what we wanted but this looked good and we had a great lunch. The meze selection was great and everything we had was fantastic. The Turkish white wine was also perfect. Any restaurant that has a good wine list and serves everything by the glass and bottle is always a good find and this is definitely worth the visit if you're in Edinburgh

Cozy little restaurant that mainly serves Mediterranean food. The waitress was very friendly and helpful. As for the food itself, we mainly took different small mezzes to share, which we all enjoyed. I would say though that the prices were too high for the portions we received (a lot of decorative vegetables) but I’ve noticed it’s often the case for restaurants that offer this type of food. Overall a good experience!

Friendly stuff and great service extremely recommend to try the grills

Delicious food, very fresh produce and tasty dishes. The service was friendly. Portions were generous. Restaurant was busy even on a Tuesday night, with a lovely buzz

Visited here on Friday night more on impulse than anything else. We had a great time! Food was great, well presented, extremely tasty and great value for money. Special mention to the front of house team who were friendly, efficient and obviously enjoy working together which really made for a very enjoyable night. Will be back soon!

Hmmm kind of average, it’s more 2-3 star but I’ll go with 3. We had the meze platter for two and two other main dishes. The platter was mainly just dips and in our opinion not worth £80. The food was just alright nothing that stood out. Great location. Don’t use the restrooms until you’ve eaten just a tip.

This spot has some of the best Mediterranean food we had ever eaten!! I staff where incredible and we where provides with a couple dishes on the house (Chef was feeling great!). In addition the chef was so sweet!! They told us how they put customers and their needs first, befo money. I would recommend to anyone passi g through 10/10❤️❤️🏆

Fresh and flavourful, Turkish inspired food. Lots of wonderful and colourful ingredients, all made freshly to order. Lovely staff too.

Brilliant food, lovely atmosphere and really friendly and attentive staff.

This is an excellent restaurant standing on the vibrant Rose Street pedestrian thoroughfare, just a stone’s throw away from Princes Street. A party of four of us (two couples) went there around 7.30pm on a Saturday evening more in hope than expectation of getting a table, as the restaurant appeared to be full. The staff however were very welcoming and managed to accommodate us with no fuss. The atmosphere inside was very cosmopolitan and cozy. Despite being busy, we were quickly served with drinks and had our meal orders taken shortly thereafter. The Mediterranean menu was extensive and we were helpfully guided through it by the table staff. We opted for the set meze, and were told that it included a bit of everything from the menu. They were not kidding here as the food literally covered our entire table - a beautiful showcase of hit and cold food which was absolutely delicious. Hats off to the kitchen staff for a sumptuous and delicious meal. Despite being virtually full, we endeavoured to fit in a dessert, but only just - a lovely portion of baklava being split four ways. A round of limoncellos, in the company of the owner and staff finished off a perfect meal. Given the amount of food and drink we had, the bill was more than reasonable, especially bearing in mind the fantastic central location of this restaurant. All in all a memorable meal in a lovely restaurant. A big thank you to all the staff, especially Alice one of our waitresses who was lovely. We will definitely be back next time we visit Edinburgh and I would highly recommend Meze Meze to anyone who loves Mediterranean food. Well done and thank you !

I have visited this tucked away restaurant for about my 6th time in a year. Each time I share this little gem with someone special as it’s something worthwhile to share. Their gyros plate is delicious! I don’t order anything else. It’s quite a big portion so come hungry. My husband’s had their meze’s hot/cold which was equally delicious and filling. It’s a tiny restaurant so I’d recommend booking if you can to ensure you have a seat.

My husband and I made a reservation for lunch on our last day in Edinburgh. The tzatziki and falafel were absolutely incredible, veggies were fresh and crisp, and service was quick! We ordered the dolmadakia, chicken skewer, arancini, halloumi and bravas, as well. Everything was delicious, and we would recommend to anyone who loves authentic Mediterranean food.

Full marks. Lots of food envy as I around the room, but I didnt need to worry. Best meal we have had during our time in Edinburgh...

Staff are really friendly, and the food is very tasty, but there's a lot of salad, and where we're from we're not used to that, so we also ordered salad as well. We chose 3 meze dishes each rather than one meal each. But that was a lot of food, I would suggest 2 dishes each, and maybe an extra one if really hungry. The pitta is quite filling but is presented in a paper bag. Which I'm not sure why. We could here a few people complaining to each other about the lack of meat in the dishes, particularly the cubed lamb, which looked quite small tiny bite size pieces. We've ordered this in the past and probably like others, expected chunky cubes. Obviously everywhere is different. However, like I said, food is lovely but it's heavy on the salad and fruit.

Lovely place and really good service however the food was a let down. It was all very flavourless and only just slightly better than the hummus/babaganoush you’d buy in a tub in a shop.

A lovely hidden gem! Staff were so kind and welcoming, atmosphere was great and the food was superb with generous portions!!!! Really recommend!!

Huge portions, super fresh and the staff are lovely. Food was really good, I’d say some things are perhaps not amazing but definitely worth a visit.

I’d passed this place a few times when I visited Edinburgh previously. Finally took the plunge when I saw their menu declared plenty of Dairy Free (DF) and Gluten Free (GF) options. I dined alone for dinner. I was not disappointed. Menu recommended 3-4 meze plates per person, I was about to order my fourth plate when the waiter told me it would be enough. There was a lot of food when it arrived and they even gave me a hoummus as a freebie. Had the Sujuk (spicy beef), halloumi and falafel. The falafel balls were to die for, so crisp and fresh, I’ve never had falafel quite like it. Salad accompaniments were all fresh. Gluten free bread provided on the side which had been warmed. Absolutely delicious.

One of my favourite restaurants in Edinburgh - absolutely incredible food! A great date place.

Fabulous little place. The dishes were of a good size and were mouthwatering delicious. Three optics each was more than enough. Great vegan options too. The staff were lovely and very helpful when we were choosing what we wanted. Would definitely recommend a visit!

Super cozy and quaint! Romantic small setting with fast service. The fusion of foods was incredible. We had the risotto balls, meatballs, olives, tetrazzini with warm pita, chicken skewers and hummus were all amazing. I would highly recommend eating here and sampling multiple small plates.

Amazing! Fresh food, lovely atmosphere and great staff. Would 100% recommend. Was served by Abhi and another lady- both fantastic.

the service was sub par, food was mediocre at best. I would honestly recommend everyone to look for alternatives when it comes to Mediterranean food.

Just amazing! My wife had 3 hot Meze (the lamb humus was superb). For me, the zesty lentil soup and chicken based tagine were delicious. Extremely fresh food with an explosion of different flavours. Staff were delightful, helpful and accommodating throughout our meal and the atmosphere in the place was perfect! This is our first time in Edinburgh and we have not been disappointed. We will definitely be coming back here to eat when we revisit. 😀

Food was outstanding, both me and my husband thoroughly enjoyed all the food. Clean restaurant and friendly staff, good value for money so will be visiting again.

Rentrée par hasard cuisine pleine de saveur et copieuse très bonne adresse et excellent rapport qualité prix Je recommande

Was a good food , not as i expected He ask us if we want olives to start with , and we said yes but we dont know that we will pay around £6 for that . 😬 overall a good experience and we enjoyed it

Fantastic food, nice ambience and good service.

We went to meze with our friends and we ordered meze meze it was lots of food and service was very good also food was amazing. Desert was delicious also Turkish coffee 😋😋😋

Always great friendly accommodating and superb food not the first time I’ve been and won’t be the last just a lovely privately run restaurant

Enjoyed a great lunch here. Excellent variety of hot and cold meze dishes as well as mains. The food was tasty and the service very good.

I think I had the best greek tapas i’ve ever had! The restaurant is a bit small and crowdy, but I would definitely recommend!!
