Mezze On The Green - (Near Redbridge, South East)

5 /5 Keri Kadri: Mezze on the Green is absolutely incredible. The food is bursting with flavour – the chicken was unbelievably tender and so tasty, and the lamb chops were hands down the best I’ve ever had. Every bite was delicious. The staff are friendly, welcoming, and genuinely helpful, which makes the experience even better. The atmosphere is warm and vibrant, perfect for a relaxed meal or a special occasion. Highly recommended

3 /5 Satwinder Chaggar: Nice food ,ordered calamari, spicy prawns and creamy mushrooms for starters and then mixed grill ,chicken shish and mixed fish was all OK, ordered 2 efes,ginger beer and a diet coke which was the last bit from the night before I the bottle and was dead and then was replaced after we told the staff. Only a 2 hour slot which was annoying. The mixed grill was smaller than expected

2 /5 Kevin Mullery: My wife and I won a meal for 2 in a raffle at the mezze on the park. On entry the manager was on the phone so we had to wait for a waiter, we explained that we had won the raffle and we were here to collect. We were seated and given menus and had to ask what we were allowed to order. We ordered soft drinks which were basically coloured slightly flavoured water. While studying the menu my gut instinct was to forget the free meal and leave due to the very uncomfortable atmosphere. We stayed and I have to admit the food was a lot better than I expected. The downside was that another customer came in and the manager came and sat with him. The conversation between them turned into a loud mouthed discussion on the war in the middle East with a lot of swearing on both sides, making my wife feel quite uncomfortable. We finished eating and as we got up to leave 2 more customers came in the manager then started to loudly so the whole place could hear tell the other customers the restaurant was now supplying food to charity customers and asked us what charity we were from. We told him again that we had won a raffle that he had supplied a voucher for the meals as I prize, we left politely and had to pay the bill for 2 tasteless coke zeros in glasses bill £8.80 for little more than 2 glasses of coloured water. Would I go there again NO if we hadnt won the raffle I would not have gone in the first place. Would I recommend others to try the restaurant, for the food yes, for the atmosphere definitely not and for the price of a soft drink not a hope.

5 /5 Elysia Hayman-Finch: We have been to Ocakbasi many many times but I don’t think I’ve ever written a review. We thoroughly enjoy it here. It seems to be a bank holiday tradition for us. Ever since we first came we now always order the same thing. We can’t help it. When we first visited many years ago we saw and smelt these amazing chicken wings go past our table and ordered some on the spot even though we’d already ordered food. The Spicy chicken wings are so good. The chargrill on the chicken adds to the flavour and the spice is perfect. After visiting once for the lunchtime offer we now can’t go without having a Harry’s Wrap! This wrap is to die for. The meat is juicy and tender. Plus the chips it comes with are tasty and the salad you get with each dish are brilliant. Super light and fresh. A perfect accompaniment to any dish. We try not to order too much every time but the hummus is also a must. The staff are amazing and always super friendly and helpful. Plus the new renovation of the restaurant is beautiful.

4 /5 Mel: Food was delicious, accommodated for me being late as it was not fully booked. Place is clean, great service. Had to ask for the veg even though it was part of the dish, so had to wait for it to cook. Just on the pricey side for me. Downfall: even though I put a special request when booking online that it was my birthday (and actually was on the day) and mentioned on the phone that it was my birthday I did not recieve a birthday treat of some sort. This being the first time in any restaurant that I have been to on my birthday and the most expensive in comparison. So was a bit disappointing for me.
