Authentic Greek in Sussex
An authentic, family-run Greek restaurant in Sussex
Meze Meze is an independent Greek restaurant in Lancing, between Brighton and Worthing on the West Sussex coast. We're not a chain: we're a family, cooking the food we love and serving it the way we'd want to be looked after.
Everything is made in our kitchen, fresh every day, using recipes from Greek and Cypriot home cooking.
Family-owned
Independent and family-run. The people cooking and serving are the people who own it.
Cooked from scratch
Dips, filo pastries, slow-cooked stews and desserts, made fresh daily.
Charcoal grill
Souvlaki, sheftalyes, lamb chops, swordfish and king prawns cooked over charcoal.
Service with heart
Relaxed, friendly and attentive, like dinner at a Greek friend's house.
What makes Greek food authentic?
Authentic Greek cooking is simple food done properly: good olive oil, lemon, oregano and garlic, meat and fish cooked over charcoal, and dishes that are slow-cooked until they're meltingly tender. It's food meant to be shared, with lots of plates in the middle of the table.
That's how we cook. Our kleftiko is lamb slow-roasted until it falls off the bone, our stifado is beef braised with shallots and red wine, and our moussaka is layered with aubergine, courgette and potato.
Greek and Cypriot classics
Alongside Greek favourites you'll find Cypriot dishes like grilled haloumi, sheftalyes and lounza (smoked pork loin), plus Keo beer from Cyprus and Mythos from Greece.
Where to find us
We're at 168–170 South Street, Lancing BN15 8AU, on the same road as Lancing station. That's an easy trip from Shoreham-by-Sea, Worthing, Hove and Brighton.

This place is my fava-rite.
“Visited Meze Meze on Sunday with my family for a surprise birthday lunch. There was a party of 11 of us and everything from the service, to the food quality and the value for money were absolutely first class. It's a gem of a authentic restaurant and well worth the visit. I highly recommend it. 👌”
Oh so good
“Wow what a little gem this place is. The food is amazing and so much of it. We needed a doggy bag. Sandra the owner and her husband the chef are great. She's as mad as a box of frogs but super friendly. Great value for money too. When next in Worthing we will definitely return.”
Another excellent meal
“6 of us attended Meze Meze at the weekend and thought the food and service was great. All the food is cooked freshly and tastes/looks very appealing. Also seems very reasonable for the quality you receive. We will be back again soon!!”
