Ordered the garlic chicken and when it arrived I went to put vinegar on the chips. The vinegar lid hadnāt been put on correctly so my meal was then swimming in said vinegar. When the manager came over to deliver the rest of the food to the table, I pointed out the problem and was told that someone, who had been at the table earlier must have been playing with it. I was never offered an apology or a replacement meal (which I would have happily paid for) I proceeded to ask for a separate plate so I could transfer my food but even after doing this, there was now saving it. At no point did anyone come over to ask if everything was ok with the food or if my food was edible.
When it came to collect the rest of the plates off the table the manager asked, if we had all finished and I pointed out that I couldnāt eat my meal , as the vinegar has ruined it. I got no response at all even though she could clearly see that I hadnāt touched any of the food.
When we were due to leave I asked another member of staff if I could talk to the manager and when the manager was walking over to us she said āI know what this is aboutā
I explained that i felt disappointed that there was no offer for a replacement. She then told us we should have been the ones asking for it to be replaced , that it wasnāt on her to offer.
It wasnāt my fault the lid wasnāt on correctly but I was made to feel like it was.
She clearly new that there was a problem so why not address it in the moment of it happening instead of blaming it on the person previously sat at the table and then ignoring the situation.
The rest of the staff seemed lovely and the food that didnāt have vinegar on was nice enough but I wonāt be returning simply due to the shocking customer service I received...

From the moment you step through the door, you're greeted with warm smiles and genuine hospitality from the friendly staff. Their welcoming demeanor sets the tone for a dining experience.
The tapas-style starters at Mezze are a true delight, offering a tantalizing introduction to the rich and diverse flavors of Turkish cuisine.

   Read moreWhat a real treat, and right on my doorstep, well a couple of miles away anyway. It's always been a lovely pub/restaurant, but has changed hands at least four times in the past 15 years. But, I feel this wonderful Turkish Mezze is here to stay. It's proving very popular and for good reason, the food is amazing. On arrival, we were met by a charming young Turkish girl/lady who showed us to our table. I'd never had Turkish food before, so it was all new to me. We decided to share the Grand Mezze which had pretty much everything to try! There's lots of individual dishes and sides to work through, all tasting amazing. Only once have I tried Calamari and it was rubbery and horrible, but I tried it here and wow, it was succulent and crispy. The table was a palette of colours and so many wonderful smells from the different dishes. I would allow a couple of hours and enjoy the whole experience. The maître d' who was standing in for the owner was a real character and very convivial and funny, and he made me my first Expresso-martini which I thoroughly recommend, if you've never had one! All the staff were so kind and helpful, and the chef was superb. All in all a lovely experience and a will definitely visit again. Just one recommendation, would be that there should just only be background traditional Turkish music, rather than a mix of current chart music and traditional Turkish music. This would enhance the atmosphere more so, and add to the overall...
