Meze Meze Finnieston is a Turkish and Persian restaurant at 1032 Argyle Street. Its intimate dining room is designed for sharing, with cold and hot meze offering an easy introduction to the two culinary traditions before the larger dishes arrive.
Hummus, baba ganoush, dolma, falafel and grilled halloumi provide varied starters, including several vegetarian and vegan options. Much of the cooking centres on the charcoal grill, where chicken, lamb, kebabs and vegetables develop a smoky finish.
Persian stews and rice dishes add slower-cooked depth, including combinations of lamb, aubergine, herbs, beans and dried lime. Turkish casseroles, handmade döner and generous mixed platters make the menu flexible for individual meals or a table sharing several plates.
Ayran, soft drinks and traditional tea complement the food, while takeaway and delivery are also available. Guests with allergies should discuss yoghurt, sesame, nuts, gluten and grill cross-contact with staff before ordering from the current menu.
Address: 1032 Argyle Street, Finnieston, Glasgow G3 8LX, Scotland
