Meze Mangal

I have been to this restaurant a number of times and the food, staff, and the atmosphere is the best. The food is large in quantity and very reasonable in price, b sure to pre book as its always busy.

Fantastic value, great food and lovely staff........cannot hype this place enough

I went to Meze Mangal yesterday for my Mum's birthday along with six of my family; and was pretty underwhelmed by the whole experience. The food was undoubtedly good and the staff were accommodating. But the fact remains I have had much better Turkish Food for far less money( Mangal Stoke Newington & Antepliler in Green Lanes to name a couple). We had the mixed Meze to start along with three or four hot starters. The mixed meze was tasty but straight from the fridge; food shouldn't be that cold it impedes the taste. The main courses, various kebabs, were good but not outstanding. It's a well run, tasty, neighbourhood restaurant, but it wasn't as good as many of the reviews I have read indicated and it's a bit on the pricey side when compared to similar restaurants.

Meze Mangal is one of the best resturants i have ever been to.. the food and staff are just excellent and interior design being traditional makes it even more special... i advise everyone to go

Top class.

Heard a lot of good things about this place, unfortunately I cannot say the same myself. It seems as if you have to book a table in order to get decent service or even a smile as my partner and I were greeted with a blank stare when we said we had not reserved. The host/waiter was extremely rude and seem disinterested in us the entire time, continously serving others that arrived after us before he would even consider us. Our starters arrived before our drinks (literally a minute after we ordered them which seems a bit dodgy) and when we politely mentioned about our missing drinks, this particular host/waiter could only blankly stare back and nod, no apology or any sign of concern. The food was good, but slightly overpriced and there is another very nice Turkish restaurant in New Cross that serves just as nice food for a cheaper price and a much, much friendlier service. Needless to say we won't be going back. Wish I had gotten the name of that waiter, he was absolutely awful! I'm sure we would have enjoyed the experience much more had we not been served by him

I eat here to celebrate my birthday every year. It is so good.

I decided to bring my parents here for a quick lunch today, based on the good reviews posted on TimeOut. We were not disappointed. Originally, we were served by a most helpful gentleman who bent over backwards to make our meal as good as possible, including after I asked whether there was yeast in the pide (which there was) bringing me a basket of unleavened 'lewasa', which was yeast free and specially for me to enjoy with our humus starter. The garlic prawns to start were amazing, seriously tasty, and the minced chicken and minced lamb kebabs were superb with delicious yoghurt to accompany. I made a point of picking up a take away menu when we paid the bill and asked the original gentleman's brother, who had taken over, if it would be possible to have a pide take away using yeast free dough. The nice man scurried away to ask the kitchen and confirmed exactly what I needed to ask for over the phone. I can't recommend this place highly enough and will be back very soon.

Absolutely amazing food! We have the shared starter which had amazing homemade dips and salads with gorgeous hot homemade bread. We have chicken and lamb dishes which came which different salads. We couldn't manage anything else as we were so stuffed. Staff were very friendly .

Amazing food, amazing people, amazing atmosphere. Amazing.
