Greece and Turkey may have had a chequered relationship over the years but their respective cuisines are remarkably similar. Dips, kebabs, lamb dishes and meze platters all feature prominently and at Meze Restaurant in Brighouse you can sample the best of both Greek and Turkish cuisine.
Choose from the main a la carte menu or one of the meze platters (meat, vegetarian, seafood or mixed) for two or more people. Meze has a good selection of Turkish wines and also a separate bar area where you can enjoy a drink before or after your meal. The restaurant is open for both lunch and dinner, seven days a week, and can seat up to 60 diners. Meze also runs regular belly dancing nights.
