V: 15th November 2019

Tonight I needed a little walk first before dinner, as I wasn’t super hungry so I took a wee walk along Argyle Street.

I had heard of a place called Meze Meze opening in the West End and followed them on Instagram, but I didn’t pay attention to where and when…..and guess what I found it and it was just recently opened.

Looking Around

Inside its very nice, on the right side as you enter that is where the food is prepared and cooked and on the left is the tables.

I had no idea what to have tonight, so I thought randomly select something and see what its like.

Main Dish

Yaprak Donner £9.50
A famous Turkish dish 100% pure lamb donner served with fresh green salad

I took my first bite and WOW this was very tasty, perfectly cooked and could be super addictive.

This is all I had this night as I wasn’t mega hungry, but I could have easily had a second one.

Visit Overall :

I was very impressed with tonights food, and the staff were very friendly.

I didnt feel too full, or bloated after this I felt full enough which is good as I hate walking out of places feeling too stuffed.

I am aiming to return to try a few more dishes, so watch this space.

Visit Date : Sunday 5th February 2017

I have recently started to spend more time in the West End of Glasgow, and this weekend I met my girlfriend and we decided to go for a walk. This was a very nice day, and I got to look about here for potential places to visit and add to my ever growing list.

We came across this restaurant and started to look at the menu.

I have never had any Persian food before, or really heard much about it from my circle of friends.

Main Course :

Kebab Koubideh £9.50
“Two skewers of minced Lamb”

I don’t normally order Lamb, but I wanted to try it here. Normally I would play safe and order chicken but tonight I opted for the Lamb.

This dish comes with either rice or fries, and to play safe I opted for the Fries tonight just in case the Lamb wasn’t that good.

Presentation wise it was just ok, I am sure it could have been put out a little nicer.

Taste wise the Lamb was very good, it was nice and soft and melted in my mouth. It wasn’t the strongest of flavours, it just had enough to be nice. The table did have a few sauces, which did help boost the flavour.

Overall :

I did want to order a chocolate cake after my main meal, but most of the items that day were finished. The remaining items that were still available I couldn’t have, as they contained nuts which I can’t do.

Overall my first experience of a Persian restaurant was good, the food was nice and also the value for money was perfect.
