The Meze Greek Restaurant
There is nothing more delicious than a meal made with love."
It is with that principle that MEZE was created, a small family restaurant in the UK that is serving traditional Greek/Cypriot food. Debbie spent 30 years in Cyprus, lived with the locals, and grew up with the traditions and values of the Cypriots. But what she will never forget from this small island is her grandmother's food, the deliciousness, and simplicity that was hidden in a single meal, made with plenty of love. That was her greatest inspiration.
So, after many years, Debbie and her daughter Elena returned to the UK, determined to share the traditions and the love they were taught for Greek/Cypriot cuisine. As such, MEZE's mission is to offer guests a simple, quality, and satisfying dining experience, while bringing them closer to the Greek and Cypriot way of life.
