Visited with a friend and had a fabulous time. We started with calamari, which was perfectly crispy and a lovely balance between coating and meat. For my main I had the mixed grill, which includes lamb and chicken shish, with a lamb kofte. The meat was perfect, juicy and full of flavour. This was my friend’s first visit to a Turkish restaurant. They had the kofte, but tried mine and were ecstatic about how tasty the chicken was. Staff were excellent, very friendly and helpful. I will certainly return when I am next in Thurrock and my friend is excited to try the lunch menu.

We came with our family today for a pre Christmas meal. We shared one of their huge jumbo platters along with sides and other bits. I was especially impressed with the chicken.. it was super fresh and tender and tasted delicious as was the lamb, the lamb chops and ribs were also fabulous. The staff and owners were amazing ..super attentive and made sure we were looked after. Everyone left feeling super satisfied . If you want delicious fresh authentic Turkish food look no further than Izgara Meze Restaurant ! THANKYOU ..

Great atmosphere. Nice friendly people, Halal food and great menu options. The starters and meze are very tasty as to is the Turkish bread. In my opinion personally I prefer this place to London chains such as Gokyuzu where the portions have reduced and prices have increased. Turkish tea is also provided complimentary after the meal. Would definitely come back again. Also forgot to mention that the lunch menu has 1 starter and main for 12.50 per person which is great value.
