Meze
Fresh Mediterranean Flavours, Made Daily in London
Meze is not a starter. It is not a side dish. In Mediterranean culture, meze is a whole way of eating — small plates passed around the table, each one made with care, meant to be shared slowly. At Olives Meze Shawarma in Tooting Market, that is exactly the spirit behind everything we serve.
If you are searching for the best meze in London, you will find it here. Not because we say so, but because we prepare every dish fresh, every day, using real ingredients and recipes rooted in the Eastern Mediterranean. No shortcuts. No reheated dips from a catering tub. Just honest meze, done properly.
What Is Meze?
Meze refers to a collection of small dishes served as part of a wider spread — popular across Turkish, Lebanese, Greek, and broader Mediterranean cuisine.
The word itself comes from the Persian word for taste or snack, and that spirit of sharing and grazing is central to how meze is meant to be enjoyed. In a good meze restaurant in London, you should be able to order several dishes, share them across the table, and build a meal entirely around them. That is exactly what we offer.
