Private events

Corporate Events

The team dinner, the client evening, the office that has not been in one room since last quarter. There is a floor of our own upstairs with a projector on the wall, a bar at the bottom of the stairs and a kitchen that can feed all of it at once.

  • A private floor upstairs with a projector, its own sound system and its own service team.
  • Free during the day, so a working lunch does not have to wait for the evening.
  • Buffet or family-style, whichever gets your people talking instead of reading a menu.
  • All halal, with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free dishes right through the menu.

Start here

How big is your party?

  • Up to 12 guests

    A table in the dining room, booked online in a minute. No private room needed.

    Reserve on Resy
  • 13 to 25 guests

    A long table in our main dining room, with a set menu if you would rather not hand out menus on the night.

    Group dining
  • Seats 20–60 · ~110 standing

    The Gold Room, our private floor upstairs, with its own service team, its own music and a projector.

    The Gold Room
  • Up to 120 seated · ~200 standing

    The whole restaurant with the door closed to everyone else, on any day of the week.

    Full buyout

One note on the menus: the buffets start at 40 guests, and a party that size is served upstairs in the Gold Room. Every other menu works in any of the rooms.

The room

A look around

  • A U-shaped table in black linen set with water glasses and small table flags, the American and Turkish flags on the wall behind it
  • Tables in white linen set as a hollow square by candlelight, so everyone at the meeting faces everyone else
  • One long table in black linen with small lamps and potted greens, the wood slat wall on one side and sheer curtains over the windows at the far end
  • The same long table seen from the corner, wooden chairs down both sides, the brick wall and the Celebrating 25 Years banner behind it

Menus

What we put on the table

A buffet gets a full room fed and on its feet; family-style keeps a smaller team at one table with everything in the middle. Both come out of the same kitchen on the same night.

The Anatolia Buffet

Minimum 40 guests

Meze, seafood, char-grilled entrées and sweets set out across the room for your guests to help themselves.

  • Humus
  • Dolma
  • Sigara Böreği
  • Çoban Salatası

Seafood

  • Karides Sote

Entrées

  • Köfte
  • Tavuk Kebap

Sides

  • Pilav
  • Vegetables

Dessert

  • Baklava
  • Seasonal Fruit
  • Three hours of unlimited buffet service.

  • A party of 40 needs a private space, so this buffet is served in the Gold Room.

Good to know

How a private event works

No room fee
There is no room rental fee. Every private event runs on a food and beverage minimum, set for your date, your room and your guest count. If the bill lands under it, the difference is charged as a room charge.
Deposit
A deposit holds your date and is applied to your final bill. The amount follows the menu and the guest count. Your date is confirmed once the signed agreement and the deposit are both in; until then it stays pending.
Guaranteed guest count
We ask for your final guest count in writing 7 days before the event. It can go up after that, never down. If we do not hear from you, the estimate on your agreement becomes the guaranteed count.
Menu changes
Menu and beverage changes are welcome in writing up to 7 days before the event.
Cancellation
The cancellation window is agreed when you sign, typically 15 days before the event. Cancel inside the agreed window and your deposit is refunded in full, within 15 days.
Payment
The balance is settled at the end of the event, by card, in cash, or by check made out to Meze Restaurant.

Questions

Asked most often

  • Can we run a presentation?

    Yes. The upstairs room has a projector and its own sound system, so a deck, a video or a playlist all work. Tell us what you are plugging in and we will have it ready.

  • Can you do it at lunchtime?

    Yes. We do not serve lunch, so the upstairs floor is free during the day. Tell us the hours you need and we will hold them for you.

  • We need this in writing for finance. Is that a problem?

    Not at all. Nothing about a private event here is verbal: your agreement sets the menu, the guest count and the minimum before the day, and the lines above are the terms it is written on.

  • We are a big team. Will we fit?

    Almost certainly. The block at the top of this page routes you: the dining room for a table, the Gold Room upstairs for a floor of your own, and a full buyout when the whole restaurant should be yours.
