Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Just got a wonderful time with my friends after busy Christmas market. The place was amazing. Very friendly and professional staff. Particularly we want to thank Abhishek, hope we got his name right, for the recommendations and friendliness. Food met all our expectations and the...price beats Christmas market 😊 Definitely we will be back.More

This is an excellent small restaurant. We booked a table for four for 5pm and entered to have our table waiting in an otherwise full restaurant Service was quick and very friendly and efficient. We ordered a mixture of meat, seafood and vegan food and...all the Meze plates were delicious. An excellent meal for four with drinks cost a very reasonable £130.More

I have got to say that my five family members thought Meze Meze was amazing. It was a great little restaurant, with fantastic staff and reasonably priced. Unfortunately my chicken skewers where bland, not marinated and only had taste when I put a load of...tzatziki on them. It was honestly like boiled chicken breast and that was it. Great place but please just marinate more chicken. Other than that it’s well worth a visit.More

This is a warm, friendly establishment that feels as if it's family-run, even though it might not be. The food is good, generous and well-presented. The wine list is sufficient unto the day. We enjoyed two or three hours of convivial conversation while sharing honest...and tasty Mediterranean fare, with never the slightest pressure to vacate our little corner. Service was attentive at all times and the place was refreshingly free of pretentiousness. If you're looking for a restaurant that serves good Turkish and Greek food in a relaxed setting, look no further than this one. You will not be disappointed.More

I have been twice before and each time it never dissapoints, my eldest who will be 18 in a couple days wanted to go here (his second time) i had booked just incase and glad i did as folks were getting turned away not surprisingly...mind you, place is small and can walk by it in blink of an eye but what the place has to offer is stunning, service was ace and food came out at a nice pace aswell. I was in heaven. We got 1 cold and 1 hot meze along with a chefs specialty 😋😋, i am still stuffed, my famous question would you go back like hell i would 30/30 each time.More

What a find! Fabulous food…3 of us shared some meze dishes, each of which were delicious; we chose 8 dishes between us which was probably too much if I’m totally honested, but we struggled though it!!! 2 of us had seperate dishes. Extremely generous portions....The staff were fantastic, very friendly, there was a great atmosphere in the restaurant. When I go back to Edinburgh, I will absolutely return to Meze Meze and I definitely recommend it!More

My wife and I both had chicken skewers with rice and salad, absolutely delicious, the rice was amazing. My friend and his wife had...kalamari and lamb casserole, big portions also delicious, can't wait to go back.More
