Grilled lamb is what diners single out most, from the lamb shish and lamb chops to lamb on hummus and lamb beyti, with one reviewer calling the chops the best lamb they have ever had.

Baklava comes up close behind, with two reviewers praising it, though another is not a big fan of it and calls the portion size only okay. Staff are repeatedly described as friendly, welcoming and attentive, and one reviewer says they never felt rushed. Several mention reasonable prices and good value. Two reviewers say the restaurant gets busy and suggest booking. One recommends the creamy seafood pasta. One diner liked sitting near the grill at the back to watch the cooking, and another finished a lunch with the Turkish tea the owner recommended.

“What a Spot! The food was fantastic especially the Lamb Chops, hands down the best lamb I have ever had! The services was attentive and very friendly! If you can sit near the grill at the back, you can see them grilling, and the smell is amazing! We will 1000% be coming back again!”

“A lunchtime catch up with lady friends and Meldiz provided the best venue to accommodate all our needs. A relaxed and attentive service throughout. We were left to order food and drinks when needed at our own pace. Delicious food and refreshing non alcoholic drinks for the hot days we’ve been having. All washed down with the recommended Turkish tea by the owner- perfect 👌🏾. Such good value and beautifully humbling service. Will definitely return when I’m in the area again”

“This was simply one of the nicest meals I’ve ever had the pleasure of eating. Immediately on arrival the staff were friendly, courteous and polite and their attention to detail was impeccable. I had the mixed kebab followed by the baklava. Unbelievably delicious with such fantastic flavours. I cannot recommend The Meldiz enough and will definitely return. Many thanks.”
