ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING FOOD Absolutely disgusting experience from start to finish. The food had zero flavour the ribs were completely unseasoned and the rice tasted like plain cardboard. No spice, no seasoning, no effort whatsoever. I honestly don’t know how anyone lets food this bland leave the kitchen. When I complained, the manager just stood there smiling and clearly didn’t care, which made the situation even more insulting. If you’re going to label yourself as a Turkish/Meshwi restaurant, this is embarrassing it’s nowhere near that standard. I genuinely don’t understand how this place is still operating unless people genuinely enjoy tasteless food. A complete waste of money and time. Avoid.

Absolutely shocking. The ribs I had for Iftar at Meshwi were some of the worst I’ve ever been served. Completely dry, tough, and overcooked to the point they felt reheated. There was zero tenderness — definitely not “fall off the bone.” It was more like “fight it off the bone.” The outside was badly charred, almost burnt, and all I could taste was bitterness and smoke. No balance, no proper seasoning, no juiciness. It honestly felt like no care went into preparing it. Just thrown on the grill and forgotten about. After fasting all day, you expect something satisfying and comforting. Instead, I got ribs that were hard work to eat and even harder to enjoy. Very disappointing. I won’t be ordering that again.

I've been a customer for years at this restaurant. The mixed grill is absolutely fantastic and offers great value for money. It's a bring your own bottle establishment, and while the service can be a bit hit or miss at times, the quality of the food is better compared to other places at the same price point. Plus, it's cheaper than Nando's. If they cook their dishes over charcoal, they can't go wrong.

The mixed grill at this restaurant is excellent and stands out from other local establishments. The white sauce is also delicious. I highly recommend trying it out.
