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!!”
