The Mezebar Restaurant

If you have any intentions to visit this restaurant please, dont! In fact, if possible, avoid like the plague. I tried this restaurant out tonight for my mother’s birthday. I had booked the table a week ago and found I really didn’t need to, it was empty. We were a group of 10 and as the restaurant is called The Meze Bar we thought we’d have the set menu which consists of various mezes, both hot and cold, followed by a mixed grill or fish course. We ordered 1 set menu which was £18 and would come with a mixed grill and one fish set menu at £21. The set menu informs you it is a minimum 2 person requirement but as I discovered at the end of the night they charge you per person, which means an £18 set menu becomes £36 and a £21 one becomes £42. This would be ok maybe, if the quantity of food you were receiving per person seemed to equal the £18 or £21 charge but it really isn’t. I have been to other meze places where the set menu is charged one price for two people as it is a requirement of minimum two people. This is my major issue. For the price I had to pay for this evening, the service was extremely poor, the atmosphere of the place extremely dull and the food in question satisfactory at best. The place is in Southgate so you’re not even in the heart of the city where everything is understandably expensive. The night was a massive let down and a massive dent in my pocket as well. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE AVOID IF YOU DON’T WANT TO BE RIPPED OFF!
