The BBQ Steak flatbread was fantastic. Great flavour, more spice level than I expected but I’m fine with that, some people might find it too much. My wife had the burger which she also was very happy with, it was a substantial size too

Fab setting, location; delicious menu choices and superb service. Despite being fully booked, the dishes just kept on rolling with no delays. The vegetarians amongst us commented on how good the flavours were for what are normally quite plain food ingredients. Well done to the team.

We visited Mezemiso for the first time to celebrate my husband’s birthday, and from beginning to end, we truly enjoyed the experience.It was a wonderful evening—the staff were amazing, attentive, kind, and very friendly.The food was delicious, and the cocktails were the best I’ve had in my 11 years living in London.The ambiance was fantastic, and the belly dancer, musician, and DJ were outstanding.On top of that, they made my husband’s birthday extra special by surprising us with a “Happy Birthday” song, involving all the staff and music.It was an incredibly memorable experience, and we both left very happy.
