Meze Mangal is an independent Turkish restaurant on Lewisham Way, and its official site confirms that it is a standalone business with no other branches. The restaurant offers a broad, traditional selection intended for sharing as well as complete individual meals. Its format works equally well for a table filled with small plates, a focused charcoal grilled main course or a longer meal that moves from soup and meze through to dessert.
Cold meze include familiar combinations of chickpeas, tahini, yoghurt, aubergine, peppers, herbs and olive oil, with dishes such as hummus, cacık, stuffed vine leaves and imam bayıldı showing the range of textures and flavours. Hot starters add choices such as lahmacun, fried squid, lamb liver, halloumi and garlic prawns. Mixed meze selections make it easier for groups to sample several preparations together before moving on to the main courses.
The main menu places strong emphasis on the grill, including marinated lamb and chicken skewers, Adana köfte, lamb chops, ribs, wings and mixed kebabs. Fish, seafood casseroles, pide and oven cooked lamb broaden the selection, while vegetarian dishes use aubergine, mushrooms, peppers, tomato and cheese in substantial combinations. Desserts continue the Turkish theme with choices such as baklava and oven baked rice pudding, alongside a range of ice creams.
Meze Mangal also offers a collection service for guests who want to enjoy its food at home, while the Lewisham Way dining room remains the centre of the business. The wide menu makes the restaurant practical for groups with different preferences, including diners seeking vegetable dishes, grilled meat or seafood. The full menu below provides the latest selection and prices for this single London location.
