Cyprus Meze Bar Restaurant

The restaurant has unique decor and wall art. The staff is friendly and attentive. The live music featuring Kader Ates singing and Naci Göcen playing the violin was exceptional. Both musicians are highly regarded within the Turkish community. The Meze served was delicious and the in-between snacks were also tasty. A great place to spend a weekend night out.

I went to Cyprus Meze Bar with my family where the place was buzzing! The food was great and tasty and the service was excellent!! The entertainment was great with some great singing and dancing. The food is not that expensive neither. I would definitely recommend this place if you fancy a taste of the Turkish experience. The restaurant has reopened recently so ignore the bad reviews and give it a try! You'll not be disappointed

Only 1 good member of staff, the rest were unprofessional.. Dirty table cloth, dirty glasses for , drink. Disgusting rotten, stale salad which we did not eat and waited for our meals. When Tamsin course arrived with side salad, my family found bugs in the lettuce, luck for them at least they had not eaten their bug, I in my hunger had eaten my bug. We remonstrated with the owner, who was also the cook.my opinion. Lovely setting, but hygiene needs to be sorted out.

This was truly the worst experience of my life. The staff were terrible and the food was even worst. We did not get a menue and were told that it was a set menue for the night after the starter was seved. There were only 3 tables with customers including us, we waited over 1 hour and 30 min for the main course and wish we had left. Once the main arrived it was cold and I would not call it a main. Three small pieces of meat, some rice and something that looked like salad. When it came to paying the bill the card machine was conveniently not working. So was advised to go to tesco for the money which was at least a 30 min walk. Think this place needs to be investigated. Please do not go!!!

On arrival, we noted that the restaurant was almost completely empty which should have indicated the experience we could expect. Undeterred, we thought we would give it a try. There is a set menu at a fixed price of £25pp. We were told this menu consisted of cold and hot mezes, followed by a main course and fruit for dessert. Fast forward two hours, we still hadn't been served the main meal and the mezes were disappointingly bland. The music was really loud so we couldn't seek refuge in each other's company either. The only thing that saved the evening (and probably why we stayed so long) was the hilarity of how bad everything was. We were dying to leave so asked for the bill before the main...

A meal which took almost two hours and we have yet to have the main course that never came, bear in mind the owner wanted to charge us £25 per head. The only good thing about this place was the waitress who was polite and reasonable. Apart from that, the food (both cold and hot meze) was ridiculously bland and tastless. The main course never came so we decided to ask for the bill. They demanded for £20 pp saying they gave us £5 off because we didnt have the main course and dessert well that doesn't make any sense. How can the main course and dessert cost less than the starters!?!? That's absolutely bizzare!! The manager or owner refused to talk to us and instead sent his minions to sort the...

Being half Cypriot, I was looking forward to this place. Unfortunately, I was mistaken. If I could sum up the quality of food and experience in one word, it would be abysmal. Before I get on to the other points, I'd like to get the positives out of the way first. The waitress was polite. That is all. Onto the bad points. You have mishmash decor which looks tacky. You have lights flashing in your face as you eat so bring sunglasses. The experience continues with loud music so high, good luck trying to have a conversation with anyone more than a foot away from you. After two hours of getting a suntan from strobe lighting and losing hearing in both ears, we decided enough was enough and left th...

The starters were amazing and delicious, but it would be more hygienic to serve each customer their own plate of starters instead of having a communal platter where people could potentially put their fingers in. The food was tasty, but the plates were too small and food kept falling off. It would be better to invest in larger plates. Additionally, the heaters were not working, and it was cold inside the restaurant. Some of us couldn't even take our coats off until two hours later. We were also disappointed to see kids running around, especially since we had gone out for an evening without children present. When asked, we were informed that they were the musician's children, but we felt it wa...

I am a well travelled person. Not only have I been to countless places in the world I 've eaten out more times in my life than I 've had home cooked food. So it is fair to assume I know a good restaurant from a bad one. Well, no not really. In fact my idea of a poor restaurant fell way above the standard of the Cyprus Meze Bar and Restaurant in Leyton. Maybe it should have been obvious something was wrong the moment me and my complement of friends walked into the place. The venue was deserted, apart from one table at the very back. On a Friday evening for a restaurant that seated about two hundred at full capacity this was concerning. Oddly, despite how unattended the place was, the manager...
