Mangal Meze Restaurant

Nice atmosphere with generous sharing platters 🍢🥙 I’d walked past Mangal Meze many times but had never actually been inside. This visit was for a celebration with a large group of around 25 people, including both adults and children. When we arrived, the interior immediately stood out. The front area felt welcoming, and I hadn’t realised there was a larger section at the back as well, which gave the space more room and a comfortable atmosphere. Our table ordered a mix of platters. I shared a fish platter with a couple of friends, while others had a meat kebab platter. The fish was enjoyable but didn’t last very long between us, whereas the kebab platter looked noticeably larger and seemed better suited to sharing in a bigger group. If I came back, I’d probably go for the kebab platter next time based on what I saw. Despite the group size and a couple of last-minute additions, everything ran smoothly. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and seating was handled without any fuss, which made the whole evening feel relaxed. Overall, it worked well for a group celebration, and it left a good impression for a first visit.

We came to this restaurant because of the signs outside advertising "Happy Hour – Buy 1 Get 1 Free Cocktails" and "50% Off Food" for their 10th anniversary. However, once we ordered, the waiter told us that the Buy 1 Get 1 Free offer only applies if the same person drinks both cocktails, and the 50% food discount is only available if you have made a reservation in advance. There is nothing wrong with having terms and conditions, but they should be clearly stated on the signs. None of these important restrictions were mentioned, which makes the advertising misleading and, frankly, quite ridiculous. It feels embarrassing to advertise attractive offers on the street only to reveal significant conditions after customers have already come inside. I’ve attached photos of the signs so others can see exactly what was advertised and decide for themselves.

Been coming here for years and it never disappoints. The food is always fresh and really tasty, the service is quick, and all the staff are friendly and welcoming. Always a great experience and we’ll definitely keep coming back. Highly recommend!

I recently visited this Turkish restaurant and had a lovely overall experience. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the place was very clean, tidy, and nicely presented. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted politely and seated quickly, even though the restaurant was quite busy. We were offered complimentary bread and sauces at the beginning, which was a really nice touch. The bread was warm, soft, and absolutely delicious — a perfect start to the meal. The starters followed soon after and were full of flavour, fresh, and beautifully presented. The main dishes were just as impressive — tasty, well-cooked, and with a great selection to suit everyone’s preferences, including vegetarian options and even burgers. You can really tell the food is made with care and good-quality ingredients. The only small downside was that the drinks took a little longer to arrive, but it seemed there was only one barman working hard while the restaurant was quite busy, so that’s understandable. The service overall was good, and a special thank you to the manager who was very attentive and made sure we were comfortable and enjoying our food. His professionalism and friendliness stood out and made our experience even better. A lovely restaurant with great food, a nice atmosphere, and kind staff — I’d definitely recommend it and look forward to coming back again!

Arrived on valentine day and got annoyed already while waiting for the table as stuff seemed to be absolutely disorganised. Half of the place was empty and they couldn’t handle few customers. We ordered food from extremely confusing and only available valentine menu (crazy overpriced) 3 calamari pieces as a starter Store bought bread (not even baked there, just reheated) and some hummus. We asked for more bread so that we could eat the hummus and waitress took the basket with our last 3 pieces of bread and never came back, after 15 min of waiting we had to ask again, already annoyed. It’s been 1 hour and we did not receive our mains even though we finished started long time ago since there wasn’t even much of it. We had to take rest of the food Take away as we run out of time already. I understand waiting time when you’re busy, but you had more than half empty tables, this was ridiculous. Food itself wasn’t anything extraordinary, and I wouldn’t willingly go back there again. Waitresses running around and laughing with each other instead of doing their job properly, forgetting everything after few seconds. I also got a mocktail with strawberry, except the fact that it tasted like pure ice with no flavour, it was the pure ice with no flavour. It was impossible to drink it with straw even after 1 hour of waiting, literally all my drink stayed there and we got charged for It anyway. Horrible experience especially on valentine day.
