About Olives and Meze Soho

Olives and Meze Soho is a Mediterranean restaurant at 40 Great Windmill St in Soho, London, with a menu that draws on Turkish and Greek cooking. The Magic box meals pair a chicken skewer, fried halloumi and chicken shawarma with salad and chips, all in one order. A house special plate lets diners choose their protein, chicken shawarma among them, and falafel is on the wider menu. The kitchen is halal-certified and cooks vegan dishes as well. The restaurant opens daily. The space is compact, with a few tables inside and an exposed brick wall in the seating area. The Lyric Theatre is close by.

Customer Review Summary

The recurring complaints are portions and consistency. One reviewer says a chicken skewer magic box held a single skewer of three thin pieces and a fried halloumi box only two small slices, both too little for the price. Another felt eating in costs about three pounds more per dish than takeaway. One reviewer found the halloumi platter's cheese barely grilled and the salads dry and bland, and another reports undercooked chicken in a wrap, throwing away half of it. Some reviewers also mention being able to do their evening prayer in the basement.

    “This is a small Mediterranean style food place with a compact menu and seating area, but it does it very well. Takeaways also popular. Good value, staff were friendly and for us, worked brilliant for a quick bite before a show.”
  • Daniel Schäfer
    “I'm wondering about all the 5-star reviews. To me, this was just okay. Had the Halloumi platter. The cheese was grilled too little, the fries were crispy and the salads rather dry and a little bland. Not bad overall, but really nothing special.”
  • Catherine White
    “Nice quick food, only a small number of inside tables but just enough room”
  • Ali Alzoubi
    “The guys running the place couldn’t do enough to make us welcome. The food selection is wide despite the place being tight. Loved the food we had which included falafel, hummus, rice, couscous and shawarma. Fresh salad with everything, rainbow salad was yummy.”
  • Sarah RH
    “Love this little nook of a restaurant! Food is fantastic and decor so cute & cosy with the exposed brick wall. Will definitely return when we’re next in the area. Not too badly priced for the area too.”
