  • What kind of food does Mezè serve?
    Mezè is a Turkish and Mediterranean restaurant built around meze: small plates made to share. Think warm dips and hand-rolled dough to start, char-grilled kebabs and fresh fish off the open flame, and house sweets soaked in syrup. Everything is halal and made from scratch, the way it has been since 2001.
  • What does "meze" mean?
    Meze is the Turkish and Mediterranean way of eating: a spread of small plates, hot and cold, brought to the table to share slowly over good conversation. Dips, warm dough, grilled vegetables, seafood and char-grilled kebabs all arrive together, so everyone tastes a little of everything. It is less a single course than a whole style of gathering, and it has been the heart of our table since 2001.
  • Is Mezè halal?
    Every dish at Mezè is halal. We have been one of Adams Morgan's longest-running halal kitchens since 2001, and all of our meats are halal-certified.
  • Do you have vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free or nut-free options?
    Plenty. Much of our meze table is naturally vegetarian, with vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and nut-free dishes throughout. Tell your server about any allergies and we will guide you.
  • Do you have a full bar?
    We do. We pour a full bar of cocktails, spirits, wine and beer, including Turkish and Mediterranean wines and raki chosen to pair with the table.
  • Do you have wine, and may we bring our own?
    We pour a curated list of Turkish, Mediterranean and regional wines chosen to pair with the table. You are welcome to bring up to two bottles for a corkage fee of $35 per bottle, with one note: we are not able to allow a wine that already appears on our list.
  • Can we bring a birthday cake?
    Of course. You are welcome to bring a cake for your celebration. A cake service fee of $3 per guest applies for plating and serving.
  • Is Mezè kid-friendly?
    Yes, families are always welcome. We keep high chairs on hand for little ones, and our shareable meze table is easy for everyone to enjoy together.
  • Do you have outdoor seating?
    Yes. When the weather is kind, we have patio seating out front on 18th Street, and well-behaved dogs are welcome there with you.
  • Are you pet friendly?
    Yes. Leashed, well-behaved dogs are welcome to sit with you outside.
  • Is gratuity included?
    A 20% gratuity is added to parties of 5 or more. It is also included on our 3-Course Bottomless Brunch, for any party size.
  • How does payment work?
    We accept up to 4 credit cards per table, with a $20 minimum per card. For amounts under $20 we are unable to accept credit cards.
