As the restaurant only has 40 covers, it is essential that you book on Friday and Saturday evenings especially, otherwise you won't get in! A beautifully-designed restaurant in non-fussy but distinctly Turkish style, the piece-de-resistance has to be the open grill and original Turkish oven, where you can see your food being freshly prepared and cooked before you. Watching them kneading and preparing the bread mixture is rather hypnotic, you need to be careful you don't lose track of time. The menu is simple with a good range of choices for starter, main and dessert. The wine list is, again, simple but offers good choices - nothing too classy, just good-priced clean-tasting wines which will complement your chosen dishes perfectly. I don't think you will find fault with any dish that you choose - but if you haven't tried it before, try one of their guvec (Turkish stew) dishes. Ahhhh yummy!! If you have a special occasion, do let the owner know in advance. It is a family-run restaurant and you definitely get that warm, welcoming feel as you enter - no matter how busy, you'll never know that from the very high service standards. Be warned 'tho - you get "nibbles" while they are preparing your starters - so that, in itself, is always another starter on top of what is heading your way ... make sure you wear elasticated waistbands! Prices: very reasonable. For our most recent visit, for 3 people having starters, main course, 1 dessert and a bottle of wine to share plus water, we paid £60. Fantastic value for such a decent pile of food, beautifully presented.

After passing this place many times (usually when I wasn't hungry) and reading all the glowing…read morereviews I finally got the chance to try this place. The interior is very nice and as I had arrived just after noon I had my choice of tables. I sat by the window for a nice view out onto the street. While I was waiting for my meal I was served a bowl of warm flatbreads (apparently made in-house) and a little bowl of olives. The main course I opted for was adana kofte served with rice and salad. The lamb was cooked on skewers which are then removed before serving leaving two perfect pooh-shaped sausages on the plate. And very tasty it was too despite the slightly off-putting appearance. The salad was very nice and a generous portion too. I just about managed to finish my meal (washed down with a glass of tango) despite the flatbreads almost having filled me up. The bill arrived along with a small, but greatly appreciated, cube of turkish delight. Service and ambiance was excellent, I look forward to returning and trying something a little less pooh-shaped.

The appetizer was pita with tzatziki sauce and olives.

Between its name and the extensive, plastic-coated menu in the window, I was wavering about whether…read moreto go inside. Both of those things were giving off a fast-food feel and I was seeking something different. A couple passed by, observed my reticence, and unsolicited announced "Go in. It's really good". I encouraged the banter and asked what they loved. "The meat" was their hearty endorsement, "All of the meat is excellent". And that's all it took for me to open the door and realize that everything I'd assumed about Best Meze Grill was incorrect and everything I'd heard about Best Meze Grill (those two sentences above) was spot on. Lots of things arriving at my table free of charge is always a way to my heart. Best Meze Grill complied first with the onion salad, olives, lavash, and more. From there we segued into what we'd ordered: Cabernet and Beer (Efes) paired with a Hot Mixed Meze (£17.95; ample for 2) featured a host of delicious tastes: feta straws, falafel, small fried fish, sausage, whitefish bites, and haloumi. The Ezme Salad (£7.25) featured tomatoes, onions, peppers, and pomegranate, a mix that surely was the nectar of Turkish gods. Each Mediterranean country seems to have their own version of a similar salad; The Ezme almost had me booking a flight to Turkey. I never got around to "the meat". A second tray of complimentary treats arrived in place of the dessert not ordered. Featuring fresh fruits and sweet Turkish nibbles, this was the ideal close to a quite perfect meal. Despite the plastic-coated menu and the name, Best Meze Grill is classy and delicious and a far cry from fast food. The folks who write reviews on TripAdvisor appear to have figured this out a while ago. Now yelp fans - or at least this one - have weighed in. Good place.
