“Absolutely phenomenal! We came here for my dad's 50th birthday dinner and they were extremely accommodating of our large party size. The staff were so friendly and gave us exemplary service (so many guests commented on this). The food was absolutely delicious and they gave us generous portion sizes. I would definitely come here again and I recommend Melissa restaurant!”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Melissa Restaurant in Stanmore is an excellent choice if you're looking for delicious Mediterranean and Turkish food in a modern, lively setting. We visited as a family and were impressed from the moment we arrived. The restaurant has a stylish interior with a great atmosphere, making it perfect for both casual meals and special occasions. We started with the freshly prepared crispy spring rolls, served with a sweet chilli dip, followed by a portion of hot, crispy chips that were perfectly cooked. For our mains, we ordered the mixed grill platter, which included Adana kebab, tender lamb, juicy chicken shish and succulent doner served on a bed of fluffy rice. Every piece of meat was cooked beautifully, full of flavour, well-seasoned and generous in portion size. The drinks were also excellent. The fresh pineapple juice was refreshing and full of natural flavour, while the sparkling cherry and lime drink was the perfect accompaniment to the meal. The service was friendly, attentive and efficient despite the restaurant being busy. Staff regularly checked on us and made us feel very welcome throughout our visit. Overall, Melissa Restaurant delivers fantastic food, generous portions, excellent service and a vibrant atmosphere. It's easy to see why it's so popular in Stanmore. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening and will definitely be returning soon. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys quality Mediterranean cuisine and great hospitality.”

“Lovely local restaurant with freshly grilled food.It was fantastic cannot fault it. We had that grilled halloumi cheese and the prawns and mushroom as starters, and then onto the mixed grill for the mains, really enjoyable. And nice size portions we left, feeling full and contented and there was nothing left on the plate. Will probably return for another visit.In the near future.”
