Mezè Restaurant

I love coming here for bunch! They have bottomless Meze style food menu and bottomless drinks (including mixed drinks). The food comes out in rounds which really is a great experience so you don’t get too full too fast. And all the food is delicious!! It’s fun to people watch on their front deck area but the inside of the restaurant is also very nice too. Highly recommend!

Got the chance to check this restaurant out after it was recommended by a friend. The outdoor dining was lovely and the food is magical! We ordered and shared all dishes because we wanted to try as many goodies as possible. Our waiter Día was super helpful in making great recommendations. We had the dip trio (hummus, one with roasted red peppers, and one with beets) - all were amazing and the bread they give is fresh making it hard to stop. For dinner we shared the scallion patty/pancakes, chicken kabob platter and the lamb shank. Both came with rice and some veggies. The lamb fell right off the bone and the chicken was flavored so well.

I tried the fried calamari app and definitely I will have it there again. The Sis Kebab was just fantastic. Land was just and flavorful. Above all they have the best kunefe I ever tried. Most places have their dessert very sweet but this place has the right balance. That made their bakhlava mouthwatering. Overall loved everything about this place. Excellent customer service!

If you are looking to enjoy your meal with loved ones, this is NOT the place. They served us appetizers and entrees at same time. We didn’t know what to do because we literally were planning to have drinks and enjoy our dinner. When I mentioned It to the server she said “oh, something happened at the kitchen”. There is no point of having appetizers on the menu if you can’t arrange the timing. Food was okay but service and timing was very disappointing.

I studied abroad in Turkey and when I come here it makes me feel like I’m back. It’s such a comfortable and warm environment, sitting outside, having çay, I also love that you’re not bothered or rushed to leave. The prices are fairly good for DC and the staff and management is all so friendly. I love having Meze as a neighborhood spot. The baklava is with walnuts and it is delicious!! Tesekkurler!

I placed an order of Iskender Kebab to go, what I get was literally plain meat ( doner ). No yogurt, no sauces and they never put napkins and forks. Yogurt is an important part of Iskender Kebab, how they can only put a spoon of yogurt in the Iskender. Never try Iskender here

I stopped here for brunch. I got the spinach omelette. The wait staff was amazing. I felt so welcome. The food was so yummy. The atmosphere was super chill and the music choices were nice. It was the type of place, you want to hang out in. Would recommend this to everyone.

Excellent service, the food was just typical Turkish cuisine.

My daughter suggested this place for a family celebration and it was a great choice! Our server was an absolute joy - great suggestions on the menu and a lot of fun all throughout our meal! We started with a couple of dips - the Atom and Pembe Sultan. We followed that with a couple of things from the garden section - Sigara Boregi and Mucver. These were delicious and my favorites of everything we had. We also had the Karides Sote (shrimp) and Salmon Kebap. They topped it off with an unexpected and fun birthday dessert! We had a great time!

if there is one thing dc does right it's brunch, so why am I sad after this one (I'm not, my friends made the experience, but you get the point I'm trying to make) - I hate complaining about service but this waiter never even introduced himself, took forever to come take our orders or bring the check, and actively showed annoyance when our friend was in the bathroom before his cake for his birthday was brought out.... - speaking of cake, $42 added to the bill for the cake, 3.50 per person in theory isn't bad but that is ridiculous especially when you're not a dessert place - the bread they bring to the table is super fluffy and fresh BUT they bring cold packets of butter and sugar free smuckers....so you think we are FAT. OKAY. doesn't match the mediterranean theme either. Like where is my oil or whatever - my friends French toast was beautiful but had such a strange assortment of fruit, no theme to go with the chocolate...the normal French toast had the same like why are there grapes - my shashuka was okay, the eggplant in the dish was amazing. well cooked eggplant is definitely a rare find. potato's were delectable and super well seasoned and I loved the dressing on the side salad.

Mezé is a delightful restaurant that probably was the best food I had during my trip to D.C. There was hospitality, respect - the servers weren't overbearing but also not inattentive. The restaurant was packed but the upstairs area we were sat at was a bit secluded so not too loud. The bread they give you is quite literally the best bread ever. Amazing taste, amazing texture, soft inside and the perfect amount of crunch on the outside. I ordered the Mercimek Corbasi (Red Lentil Soup) which was delicious but quite filling. This wasn't my entree but it could certainly work as one or as a side dish with a smaller entree. Dipping the bread into the soup was a delicious pairing as well. My meal was the manti - a dumpling, textured but small dough filled with meat, that you can douse in a tomato and/or yogurt sauce. The yogurt is tangy/sour if you're going for a more savory taste, the tomato is on the sweetest side if you're going for a sweeter palate, but it's completely up to your own tastes as the two sauces are plated in separate bowls from the manti. Furthermore, I had the Josh Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon and it was a great combination with the dish. Everything here was filling and I left feeling stuffed but in a wonderful way. Greatly recommend

Nothing about our experience was "bad". We stopped in for brunch and I have to admit that the DC brunch scene sometimes seems a bit overrated when you go in a small group. Having said that, we were definitely fed well and satisfied with the food selections we made. The drinks were a bit watered down, besides the pink mojito that is pictured in my review.

I must admit that I was suspicious before giving this Turkish restaurant in DC a try as a Turkish citizen, (you never know these days) but Mezé Restaurant met my expectations %100. Also, I had no idea that they are the oldest Turkish restaurant in DC-- Wow, that is so cool. I ordered Iskender Kebap which was originally $26.50+ but somehow I have gotten a %40 off by Uber Eats-- I was like "hey I take it." Haha. It took little over an hour for meal to be cooked and driver to bring it to my unit in NoMa which is about 2.2 miles from their location in 18th Street. The ingredients were clearly high quality and fresh. Fried tomato and brad underneath the lamb meet for instance were delicious as heck. Especially the meet was so good. It was not super soft but yet the taste was lasting a few seconds in my mouth. The yogurt to pour over the meet could have been homemade to be honest but it was still delicious. Btw, Yogurt belongs to the Turks not Greeks damn it! Just kidding. Or do I?:) Overall, my experience has been great. I would definitely recommend for my friends and hopefully I can have the opportunity of dining in someday. Ustamın Ellerine sağlık :)

Got the chance to check this restaurant out after it was recommended by a friend. The outdoor dining was lovely and the food is magical! We ordered and shared all dishes because we wanted to try as many goodies as possible. Our waiter Día was super helpful in making great recommendations. We had the dip trio (hummus, one with roasted red peppers, and one with beets) - all were amazing and the bread they give is fresh making it hard to stop. For dinner we shared the scallion patty/pancakes, chicken kabob platter and the lamb shank. Both came with rice and some veggies. The lamb fell right off the bone and the chicken was flavored so well.

Meze has never let me down! Excellent attentive service for our group of 10!!! We were able to reserve outdoor seating online. All the food was good. I love the complimentary bread and olive oil and the mojitos. Great for vegetarians and meat eaters alike and attentive to food allergies.

VEGAN REVIEW came here around 9pm on a Tuesday night. it was totally empty :( but I'm sure it's hard to compete with all the restaurants along this strip. appreciate that they have several clearly marked vegan options. started with the humus. it was fine, not super. the pita was a little hard. had eggplant as my main. it had good flavor, but it's really just a slice of roasted eggplant with a bit of onion & pepper on top. ordered a side of rice pilaf- it was plain & oily. friendly service.

I had the best time with my friend at Mezé. We were walking along 18th street and loved the outdoor seating Mezé had with green vines all around and plenty of overhead fans. We decided to sit down for brunch there because we just wanted to go inside of the cute patio they set up. Our server was extremely attentive. We ordered the baba ganoush and dolmas. Both items were clearly labeled vegan which made ordering so simple. Additionally, our server asked if there were any allergens or dietary restrictions and I let him know I was vegan. I really appreciate when servers take extra care in ensuring they are aware of any special diets at the table. We also ordered mojitos. My friend had a mango mojito and I had a virgin mojito. I love how my mojito looked identical to my friend's. It always makes me feel special when the alcohol-free option is as festive as the alcohol one. My drink was so refreshing! There was the perfect balance of mint and sweetness. It was just the right drink for the 80 degree weather. Pita comes complimentary to each table and it was delicious! Very fluffy and I love that the pita was already cut up. It made sharing the bread so easy. The bab ganoush was good. It was not too heavy on the eggplant and not too smoky. It was light and seasoned just enough. The Dolmas I wish I ordered two of. I love dolmas! Theirs was filled with plenty of rice and flavors and not dripping with oil which I appreciated. Overall this spot was the perfect place for appetizers with a girlfriend. I will definitely go back for a date night. I enjoyed the ambiance, service, and food. There are many more vegan options on the menu I have to try, and cannot wait to eat there again.

Our group of 6 made a reservation for dinner. We were promptly seated outside, as we requested. The servers were friendly and attentive, bringing us extra bread when we needed and constantly refilling the water. The drinks were well made, especially the Turkish coffee martini. However, the food was not as good as we've had at other Mediterranean restaurants. For example, the lentil soup had a grainy texture which wasn't my favorite. And the "shepard's" salad was very small for the table. Pictures of some of the food are attached. We did appreciate that the receipt clearly showed the tip already included for our large group.

3.5 stars! Came to Meze for brunch on a Saturday and had an overall okay experience. They have a $45 bottomless brunch including food and drinks which is a great deal but they don't do a great job of explaining how their bottomless works which made the experience confusing. At some bottomless places they walk you through the offerings and bring you plates of basically everything. At others you have to order which plates you want. Meze does the latter but they didn't explain this up front so we were just kind of waiting for plates to come out when what we actually needed to do was order plates. None the less all the food was great. We especially loved the grape leaves and French toast. They offer mimosas and bloodys and also rail drinks for bottomless. Again the rules weren't explained to us ahead of time but you can't have more than one drink at a time. Totally fine but jarring when you're not aware of the rule and they take full drinks away from you to bring you new drinks. The different rules in and of themselves were fine but no one explained them to us until we were almost done which made for a very confusing and awkward brunch experience. We were always rushing to finish our drinks as runners brought new ones and it overall left a negative taste. Overall our server was attentive and lovely, the ambience was very nice especially with the outdoor space, and the food was very good. We appreciated the manager coming over and explaining everything to us and totally understood the rules but would probably just go somewhere less confusing for brunch.

My wife and I went here on a whim and were so happy with our decision. We sat outside in the streetery which was unassuming, but the food was amazing and the service was great--we got the Karisik Kebap platter and by the end the only thing left was some rice. Not to mention that the prices were pretty reasonable (we got food and drinks and spent $80-$90 before tip). The cocktails were a little pricey ($14-$17), but they had a nice selection of beers (imported, domestic, and local) $6-$8. Overall, I'll definitely be going back and would recommend for anyone looking for some tasty Mediterranean food at a good price.

Delicious food... fabulous service... nice atmosphere- heck, yasssss! All was good! - We enjoyed the Happy Hour appetizers (humus, gavur dagi and dolma). - The blackberry mojito was ok and the white wine was pretty good. - The sigara boregi (cigar shaped pastry with feta, parsley and dill) was fantastic. - The tavuk kofte bagendili (chicken meatball) was very small, but yummy! Give this enjoyable spot a try- there's a reason they have many years of success. :)

I really liked the energy and intimate space. It seems like a small business which makes me want to like it more. The service was fine. No biggee. But the food is very bland. Ground kebabs are supposed to be the most flavorful item on menus and these were just plain bland and uninspiring. Portions are medium small, so not small enough that you would get multiple items, but not enough to get full. Go hear for sustenance, but I can't recommend the food.

I had a hankering for Mediterranean food, so we decided to try out Mezze because we have only heard good things. The restaurant is very small, yet sleek, with a beautiful bar, dimmed lighting, and a very modern interior. This set up is perfect for a date night or an intimate one-on-one dinner meeting. Onto the food! We honestly didn't order too much because we were not too hungry, and this was our began regret. We began with the Baba Ghanoush and then ordered the Steak Frites for our entrees. The pita was so warm and soft, and when dipped into the Baba Ghanoush, which was whipped to a perfect light and fluffy texture, the combination was delicious. The Steak was small but was mashed down to be thinner, so there was an illusion of feeling like I was eating a portion bigger than it truly was! The meat was incredibly tender and even with being so thin, they mastered the  warm and melt in your mouth center with the pan seared crunchy exterior. I honestly was amazed by this concept. And I could not stop eating the fries. They were so crispy and skinny, yet not too fried at all, which I love. They were delicate and flavorful. I do regret not trying more things, as literally everything on the menu looked phenomenal, and I went with such a basic entree for the variety they had (especially when the reason we chose here was because of my specific craving). However, even going with such a classic option, my taste buds were elevated to a new dimension. I am incredibly excited to come back and try more food here.

Great service. Had some good food. Wife and I had Adana kabob which u recommend. Our waiter also recommended the kunefe for dessert, I could go again to this place just to eat this

I was visiting the DMV are from nyc and my friends brought me hear. Very cute place, I love Mediterranean food. The dips were super delicious. As for the entree i feel like it could have had some better presentation and the food was cold by the time it arrived to the table. But none the less still a decent meal.

I didn't have reservations on a Sunday afternoon, but since it was low peak time, it was easy to grab a seat outside. Service is really great, and their food and drinks are delicious. Lots of small dishes fit for sharing. And you're bound to find something to your liking due to the extensive menu. Lots of vegetarian options too. Their mojitos are unfortunately filled with too much ice, but are delicious nevertheless. Definitely great for a date!

My boyfriend wanted to get out on Thanksgiving, but finding a place with vegan options was tough. Our usual standby places were closed, and most restaurants tend to have meat-centric meals. Luckily, we found Meze, in Adams Morgan. (It was truly weird walking up and down a nearly deserted 18th Street.) Meze is a narrow but cozy Middle Eastern restaurant with pretty good vegan options. One side of the menu is vegetarian and vegan options and the other is meat. I'd guess that maybe a third of the total menu is vegan. Noting a special if you order three dips, we decided to do just that; we got the hummus, the muhammara ( roasted red pepper dip), and the gavur dagi, a mixed vegetable relish. We also got an order of veggie kabobs that also came with hummus and the mercimek kofte, a bulgur and lentil-based "cake" that was more cigar shaped. My boyfriend, who adores olives, got a platter of those and appreciated that they still had the pits. I loved the dips and would definitely come back for those. I also liked the kabobs. The kofte was very cold, as if it had just come out the fridge. I think I would have liked it more if it were closer to room temperature. Still, it's a great place for meat eaters and veg*ans to enjoy dinner together.

An easy five stars! The service here was exceptional! Our waiter seemed so happy to serve us, and was extremely knowledgeable about the menu. We ordered a Turkish espresso and Turkish espresso martini for me! The espresso was so rich while also being so smooth, it was a delight! Because I wasn't very hungry I ordered the veggie kabob. The vegetables were fresh and the hummus was extremely flavorful, it was definitely made back of house! My partner ordered the Kuzu Incik Kebap and I thought he was going to lick his plate clean! He loved it. I definitely see myself retuning here for a night cap, or intimate dinner! Thank you Meze for this wonderful dining experience.

One of my best friends and I went to Meze for a much needed catch up session. What's better than doing that over all you can eat and drink brunch? We loved the inside of Meze; it's super cute! We sat at this great little nook upstairs. Our waitress was AMAZING. At the end of our meal, we learned she was new and in training. I was shocked because I can only say the most positive things about her. She was attentive, made great recommendations, super friendly, and always made sure our beverages were full! The drinks were made extremely well (you could taste the alcohol which isn't always the case at all you can drink brunch) and the food was delicious. We tried the eggs Benedict, hummus, Istanbul burger, Brussels sprouts, quinoa kofte, dolma, sigara boregi, all the cheese, and the French toast. We enjoyed everything immensely- my favorites were the quinoa kofte, dolma, and the sigara boregi but I would get everything again in a heartbeat. I can't wait to return!

Went for brunch. Mimosas were amazing, babaganush was delicious, and french toast was perfect texture. Lovely meal!

this is one of my favorite spots in DC. the food is always impeccably fresh, simple and elegant dishes, delicious cocktails, reasonably priced for the area, and a beautiful, welcoming ambiance inside. we went for the tasting menu on valentine's day (cheapest tasting menu in DC, but you DEFINITELY can't tell) and felt like we were celebrities with how impeccable the service was. truly gold star treatment. they described each dish, paced the courses perfectly, and cleaned the crumbs off our table between courses. i always recommend this to anyone in Adams Morgan. love going here for a happy hour as well. i recommend getting a mojito! (at a Turkish restaurant?? yes, strangely enough, they're delicious)

We sat outside, cute hood, and delicious and cozy Greek eats. Service was good, food arrived quickly. Our little had French toast, and loved it. She also had a side of fries, because you can never go wrong with fries. I enjoyed a chicken kebab with rice, and it was good. I asked for extra sauce, and mama got it. Solid spot:)

Amazing little place in Adam's Morgan, first time here. Saw a post online about their brunch and I was sold, had to stop by. Came in for brunch and it was awesome. Service, food and drinks were all spot on. Our server was very attentive and nice. The food was made very well, seasoned perfectly with great presentations. Management stopped by a couple times to check on us and what topped off was at the end the manager treated us to Turkish coffee. Highly recommend, this isn't a modern brunch as many places in DC but very well done all around!

Solid choice for reasonably priced brunch with unlimited food and for those of you who drink, unlimited booze! Servers are personable and responsive. Lots of fun places to visit within walking distance which is an added bonus.

It's no small feat for a restaurant to survive more than 17 years, so you know Meze is doing a few things right. I'll start this review by highlighting the biggest standout of the meal, and that was the service. Super kind, super attentive, and always smiling. It made a huge difference in creating a positive vibe. The second reason to come: that sweet patio. They have tons of outdoor space, which is comfortable in just about any weather. There is both a patio right outside the entrance and a large covered streetery area. We sat in the latter, giving us a great perch for people watching on a busy Friday night. For food, we sampled a few items but our consensus fave was the boneless chicken entree called izgara tavuk. The chicken was so tender and well seasoned, it was very satisfying. If you're feeling adventurous, I really liked the sigara appetizer as well. It's a crispy, cigar shaped pastry filled with feta, dill, and parsley. It was creamy and very dill-forward. Unique and tasty way to start the meal. Bonus points for a solid mojito and a trappist rochefort on the beer menu. We shared the two with our meal and couldn't decide which was more refreshing. We came for dinner, but they are known for their brunch if you're a brunch kind of person

Service is great, we didn't order a lot however levrek wasn't that great and it was expensive for the portion which means with the same price I can get a bigger one. Kunefe was delicious it was the best in the states that I ever had five star. They also serves butter and bread ,bread was not fresh but it was warm. Shaksuka was delicious , great selection of Raki . The ambience was great inside and outside full bar .

Awesome brunch spot! We got to try so many delicious small plates. And they were very attentive with mimosa refills (always important!)

My friends and I are visiting DC and wanted to try some Turkish food! We heard this is the oldest Turkish Mediterranean restaurant and wanted to give it a try for brunch. The space is super aesthetic and it wasn't too loud! We sat inside but it looked like they also had really nice outdoor seating. We were seated right away (we had a reservation and we're a party of 4) and served pretty quickly. The servers also came by multiple times to check on us and see how the food is! Mucver burger: SO GOOD! I think it was the best one out of all our orders and we all weren't even vegetarian! (This is a vegetarian burger and there were tons of vegetarian options on the menu!) Doner eggs: good but not great. It wasn't seasoned super well and the egg was a little too raw. I liked that it was made with lamb/veal though - that added a nice twist to brunch. Meze eggs: pretty standard egg's Benedict with lox. It was good but I feel like you could've gotten this anywhere for brunch. Turkish tea (iced) and Turkish coffee were good (pretty on par compared to other Turkish restaurants I've been to) Another caveat is they only serve brunch options (bottomless and a la carte) during brunch time and not the regular dinner menu, which looked like it had a lot of other options! For example, the a la carte menu didn't have any dips, soups, etc. but the bottomless menu did look like it had a lot of variety!

Very bad and humiliating experience here from their staff. They put another customer's food on my tab in addition to my food. The bar staff and management were very rude to me. A bad experience overall when I was just trying to enjoy a nice meal alone.

ummm ordered the rack of lamb. it comes with 2 pieces of super overcooked (leather shoe) lamb chops and frozen fries. there were exactly two little pieces of roasted vegetables, best part. imaging the meat and potatoes being so bad the vegetables shine. not much flavor and overcooked and do not recommend. BTW it's sitting next to me now and I'm am uninterested to say the least.

Perfect lil Turkish spot with nice indoor and outdoor dining. Haven't had manti since I was in Istanbul in 2013. I had been missing it for a good bit, but then I stopped eating red meat. To my delight, Mezè had a vegetarian spinach manti! I also don't usually like the yogurt sauces as they overpower the manti, but the one at Mezé was perfectly tart yet mild. My boyfriend got the pastrami and hummus dish, which of the hummus I tasted was really good. The bread is handmade, fluffy on the inside. Unlike a lot of middle eastern places that give you cheap or low quality (usually store bought) naan, Mezé's bread is a standout. Will definitely be coming back to try more meze at Mezé's.

Being a Washingtonian never thought to stop here but not to mad that I did. The service was great, couldn't have asked for so much great hospitality from the folks here. The food was good but the portions were small, we got filled up more on the house bread which was also actually good and fresh. The non alcoholic drink that they had with strawberry and mint was also good but you can tell it was probably only a few fingers worth of actual liquid in it if it weren't for all the ice and lemon wedges in the drink. The salmon kebap although flaky and moist it lacked seasoning amongst the side of spinach dip it came with as well but still good with a little added salt. The kalamari was super fresh as well with the squeeze of lemon it tasted straight from the sea.

The Service was great maître was interested in our experience, however, food was so so.

Amazing!!!! Food was great and fresh ambiance is very welcoming. Bartender tended to all needs and such as well as management coming down and checking on chests needs and What not 10/1

Surprising that it was 60 degrees outside for dinner in January 1- we sat outside and the waiter promptly moved a propane heater near us so no coats were required. The drinks menu was full of mojitos so we chose the butterfly pea flower and an 1888 old fashioned. We chose the zucchini pancakes with feta and the salmon kebab. The salmon came over a bed of mixed greens with a delicious light dressing. The food was outstanding. Our waiter, Dhia was funny and wonderful. We convinced two groups of passersby looking at the menu to come in and they did. The owner rewarded us with two drinks in the house made with green tea, peach schnapps and whiskey sour. Wonderful. We can't wait to return.

A fantastic restaurant! Each course we got was so delicious and their dessert is outstanding. The waiters were attentive and friendly, and drinks were yummy. Overall, a beautiful restaurant with great food - will definitely be coming back.

Went alone to have brunch was sat at the bar ordered my drink then they asked me to move because they don't do bottomless at the bar which was fine. The food was really good quick I had the small plates and the strawberry mint lemonade. They didn't explain brunch so I was not aware that servers tip themselves 20 percent immediately and not complaining about the service because it was quick and they refilled my drinks quickly and I usually tip more than 20 percent but it felt a little weird when I was paying to hear the server say I tip myself 20 percent already.

I loveeeee Meze! This is my first time back am since the pandemic and it's still amazing! They have the best mojito's in the DMV! So many flavors and they're simply amazing. The tapas are so good and I absolutely love the grilled shrimp entree. Food: Karides Sote Drink: Strawberry Mojito Overall: 5/5, amazing food, drinks and staff. One of my favorite not so well known spots in DC

Two friends and I decided to try Meze for dinner. We had a great time. The server was friendly and very helpful in making recommendations as we made our choices. We were able to linger without being rushed and the noise level allowed us to have a conversation without straining to hear. I will definitely go back and try more dishes. The bar looked inviting too, so it might be a fun place to drop in for an afternoon drink.

Underwhelming Turkish restaurant in Adam's Morgan. I had an old fashion to start. There was no Orange muddling or sugar. It was just poured bourbon, no inspiration. It set the theme for what would be an underwhelming meal. We had the Sebze Begendi, eggplant with cheese and mushrooms. The plate was overpowered by mushrooms. It reminded me of Campbell's Mushroom Soup. The other appetizer was grape leaves; the smallest I have ever eaten. They were good though and hence a star. For our entree we had the Manti, Turkish beef dumplings with yogurt sauce, and red pepper sauce. The sauce and dumplings were so underwhelming as to be bland. There was absolutely no flavor. No presentation. For dessert we had the baklava. Again good, but minuscule portions. Service was good; hence the other star. Parking is located behind the restaurant in a public garage.

I came for brunch a few weekends ago with a friend and my husband. We decided to do the bottomless brunch and I liked that I got to try a little bit of everything on the menu. The food was all pretty good, but nothing really stands out. I also find it slightly annoying that coffee isn't included in the bottomless brunch, but alas. The service was pretty good; it wasn't spectacular but it wasn't bad either. This place is pretty convenient so I'll likely go back, but there are other spots in the area that I'd prefer for a bottomless Turkish / Mediterranean brunch.

The food was great as well as the service. The dessert and food were great. My only reservation for not giving five stars is not having many vegetarian entrees. The drink we had was very delicious for the hot day when we had our meal. I highly recommend this place.

Loved this restaurant! We were a group of 5 people (two vegetarians) that decided last minute to come here for dinner. The front of the restaurant was open, we sat in between inside and outside-felt very safe. Someone came and gave us all hand sanitizer as soon as we sat down. I got the cucumber Mojito, it was great! Not too sweet. I ordered the halloumi, dolmas and lentil cakes - everything was fresh and flavorful. Our group had also ordered the manti- a MUST! And kebab. We will definitely return and recommend to anyone looking for great Turkish food at a good price!

This restaurant is one of my go-tos in Adams Morgan. The brunch here is delicious and I like taking visitors here because it's great for the kind of brunches where you want to catch up with someone over delicious food. I went to Meze for dinner for the first time the other day and was not disappointed. The restaurant was beautifully decorated for New Year's Eve and was spacious enough to comfortably catch up with my friend in. The mojitos here are so good - definitely order one or several if you like those. I had the manti and my friend had the lamb kabob. Both were wonderful. The service is always great here as well.

I've been here twice for bottomless brunch and each time the service is subpar. There is always just one guy working the outside area and he seems exhausted. There's no way he can adequately serve everyone. This means you don't really get your moneys worth in terms of food. I will say the food is delicious and the mimosas. The bloody mary was very spicy. My favorite is the French Toast. The outside is nice but definitely get a reservation.

Fantastic food and mojitos and great staff! Muhammara is a go to starter, as are the Beyti and Manti for entrees. For desert, the Kunefe is the best in town.

Simply put, the Kanafeh from here is life changing and has to be one of my favorite desserts of all time! Be sure to order the large Kanafeh because even if you have leftovers you'll be more than happy to eat them the next day. The service here is also outstanding as our waiter was very attentive and kind and the host ensured that we were seated as quickly as possible. This place is definitely a must try!

They have a great two hour bottomless brunch option that allows you to eat and drink to your heart's desire from many options. Everything was delicious from the dolma to the sliders. I recommend the french toast as a sweet finish. Also, the bloody mary is the way to go in terms of drinks but you can switch it up.
